[FRA] Ligue 1 2011/2012 (84 Viewers)

[Fred]

Lyon have spent a lot of money over the past few years. Lisandro, Bastos, Cissoko were all relatively big deals. The same with L'OM: Lucho and Gignac.

I think both teams don't see a need to spend big this summer.

Cheese, I say we help them with their financial problems and buy Bastos whatcha think

If we can't someone better say Silva I would be happy with Bastos, i rate him higher than Vargas.

I can see L'OM getting a couple of players if Lucho leaves as planned.

 

[Dostoevsky]

I doubt they will sell Lucho and I don't think they can get much from him.

It's reported that he wants to leave and asked for a transfer, Didier also confirmed this.

Then that sucks. They will be a lot weaker if he leaves.

Then again, it depends who they buy after.

 

[Dostoevsky]

PSG losing against NY in a friendly.

Menez is It will be great to watch him next to Pastore.

 

[Suns]

Menez has always been good. I don't get why people always like to call players like him shit and immediately compare them to Quaresma.

 

[Salvo]

I would have loved Menez here.

I agree. In Marseille's case they already have a solid squad that's capable of winning the league.

Overall, I believe the upcoming Ligue 1 season is going to be an exciting one.

I remember one guy here telling Di Maria was the new Quaresma.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

I think people are overrating PSG's mercato.

 

[Fred]

Then you are holding it to Real Madrid, Man City standards. You want to make a judgment about how good their Mercato is, compare the players they are getting with the standard of players in other top Ligue teams. You cannot deny that any French team would love to have Pastore, Menez and Gameiro.

 

[A͎u͎s͎h͎]

Exactly. Lyon have A LOT of catching up to do, and the season hasn't even started.

a proper coach and they can win a trophy next season

Nah, I'm holding it to our standards... kinda. It seems like people here are kinda jealous of their mercato, the way we are with Genoa, Fiorentina or Roma from year to year.

I don't know about Gameiro so I'd only want Pastore from that. The Sissoko transfer was being hyped up as if he wasn't coming from our own Juve, desperate to get rid of him.

 

[Dostoevsky]

They are doing very good. I don't think they have a high reputation so I don't think they can get many major players even if they offer high wages. So far they are doing pretty well and they are making a very nice team. With not a lot of cash invested they made a great team and that's the point IMO. It's not like City who spend trillions on each player. They made an improvement with a new GK, Bisevac, Menez and Matuidi. Sissoko will do great there too. They are all very good players for pretty much low amount of money. They are going to have a team that is young but full of potential that's going to make them a big profit when they eventually sell. Bar that, they are going to have a rising star like Pastore who can turn into another Ronaldinho coming out from France. I think it's a great move for his career as he can prove damn lot in there, and if he proves himself we'll see another big sale worth 70mln+. Even if they don't win Ligue 1 this year, they are on a road to have a great squad that can compete in Europe.

Anyway, they are playing a friendly against Boca soon. Might be good to watch.

I agree with all that. They do look like a team that should be great to watch and will probably be title contenders and can grow to become a powerhouse. Just saying I don't really envy their mercato. Even Pastore, who we could do with was really overpriced (I understand that it probably was necessary to pay that to bring in a star player).

 

[Dostoevsky]

It's not that I envy their mercato but considering they are a 'small' team in Europe they are probably doing the best job at the moment. I don't compare them with top teams, not just. Squad is full of talented and young players while prices are rather modest, bar Pastore. But even him, I think he will justify his price and bring them a big profit in a couple of years.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

Won't they be limited by F.F.P. though? Well unless they use the loophole City did.

 

[Fred]

PSG's first test!
