    The Official Jean-Alain Boumsong Thread (Lyon)

    He will be worth every penny to me if we pay Inter to take him off our hands. :D

    The Official Jean-Alain Boumsong Thread (Lyon)

    Even if it is just the Coppa, we're in trouble when Birindelli -- love him and all -- is our best defender. Time for Ciro to jersey up again then. :thumbs:

    The Official Jean-Alain Boumsong Thread (Lyon)

    For a guy who has been bitching about the Italian NT lately, he's sure picking Frenchies with experience in Italian clubs who, at least in a couple cases, aren't exactly considered Frances' finest...

    The Official Jean-Alain Boumsong Thread (Lyon)

    How many times do we have to repeat this? :confused: Just because there's a thread about you doesn't mean it's an honor or anything. We had an official Capello thread last year where most everyone in there just criticized him. Like it or not, Boumsong's play has a high relevance to our team's...

    Can we field him for the other team? :pumpkin:

    It's one thing to be a "betrayer". It's quite another to be out to injure others during a friendly.

    He has. There's something maddening about him, though. Unlike Zebina, who can play like complete dog crap for four solid months, Boumsong can alternate from having a decent match one day to doing the most imbecilic, boneheaded thing the next match. If it were merely a question of having no...

    Boumsong didn't have a bad match, IMO. Inzaghi was being an absolute dickhead, that's all.

    Cool it or it's time out in the corner for both of you.

    A scary statement. Because if Boumer can't improve, that implies he might only get worse... :scared:

    Having your own thread isn't necessarily an honor. Look at the Capello thread last season. I think as long as he's often in the starting rotation, Boumsong is going to be a regular topic here. And we might as well dish on him in one place.

    The Official Jean-Alain Boumsong Thread (Lyon)

    What's scary is that I see moments of competence in him. I've seen complete games where he has handled his position well under critical circumstances (e.g., vs. Bologna just a few days ago). And then he reverts to his bad habits of fumbling the most basic ball skills, exhibiting signs of a brain...

    Not a bad idea, IMO. We're lacking players in midfield, and he does contribute well (IMO) offensively at times. Can't be any more of a disaster than CB, right? :pumpkin:

    What Elvin said. We did have an official Capello thread last season afterall. Most dedicated threads will be about players we either love or hate.

    I was thinking that until I saw our last match against Genoa. :disagree:

    I still want to give Boumer a chance to settle in. He's had moments of solid play. But unfortunately his recent play has been like his initial play with us: out of position, terrible clearances, gets burned, occasionally muffs simple exchanges with his teammates...
