David Trezeguet (34 Viewers)

I always thought he was overrated on account of his height and athleticism. He could have been just as good a basketball player, I don't think he's that special as a footballer frankly. He has his moments sure, that's what people tend to remember. This year 19 year old Benzema is keeping him out of the team while Fred is injured, Carew is 3rd in the pecking order. Still, I'm amazed at how well he played (apparently) against RM after being a bit part player this season.
The way Carew holds up the ball is what makes him the player he is. That's why he fit in so well with Valencia and now Lyon, as those clubs' strength in midfield called for them to deploy someone up top who could hold off defenders and then lay the ball off to the likes of Mendieta and Aimar. But Carew's only weakness is that he doesn't score nearly enough for a player of his calibre.
Benzema is a very interesting player but unfortunately I have not seen much of him. Considering he's either 19 or 20 makes him one hell of a prospect. But if Lyon buy our beloved Trezeguet, Karim won't be playing too often... and Carew better look for another club. Hell even Nilmar might be returning so Lyon will have quite an arsenal of forwards.

Well, I don't think they will actually end up with all those players. Currently Fred, Benzema, Carew, Wiltord (who isn't really a striker), Govou (more of a winger really). I doubt Nilmar will return, he didn't do that well at Lyon in the past and Fred has really established himself as a reliable goal scorer now.
Carew's great strength is that although he's humble, he's really confident, he doesn't have those lapses where he'd doubt himself and blame others for his shortcomings etc. Right now both Benzema and Fred are injured, and few players would come off the bench and score that goal against RM.

actually i wouldnt surprise if giuly would return to france and obviously to lyon, cause his not getting enough playing time in barcelona. (with govou and wiltord leaving the club in that case).
but for some reason i doubt lyon would get rid of their own players, especially if its all (the system) working nicely.

Why did you totally take Fred out of the equation?
Imagine we get Kim Källström (pronounced Kim Shellstreum) instead of David

Kim Kallstrom is another good player I wouldn't mind seeing at Juventus. He has good technique and creativity, but Lyon won't be letting him go as he will probably take the playmaking reigns from Juninho one day.
Juventus should have made a move for Tiago before he went to Chelsea. But everybody thought he was mediocre while I saw him to be a great prospect... and look at him now. Wish we would have taken chances on such starlets.
