I guess he's about ready to retire. Lyon people were saying he's not the same anymore. Still a figher, but an aging one. I'd expect him to return to Brazil at this point.
Official: lyon have signed Porto Striker Lisandro Lopez the deal is estimated to
be around 25 mil euros.
PS: Always been a fan of Lopez, he's price is a bit high but the guy is good and i was wondering in the last few years why he's been ignored by the argentinian NT coaches. Smart move by lyon though the price is a bit off....
Ya, bit of a high price. But thats the market for you nowadays. He's a decent enough replacement for the Benz i believe. Now they need a rightback and a quality CM.
Very good signing for LÓM imo. One of the top DM's in the Ligue this one. Marseille are building some team here. Lucho Gonzalez, Mbia and Cheyrou/Cana as their midfield trio. Thats rather strong.
French market has been really interesting, Lille have 'replaced' Bastos with Gervinho I want to see if he can step up from Le Mans. I can tell you right now that in around a season or two Lyon will make a healthy profit from both Bastos and Cissokho.
One would think this summer clubs wouldn't spend much (with the Economic situation in the world) yet they've spent more than any summer in the past years.
