Never too much talk about the French league, but this league produces players like few others.
I've never taken too much interest in the league but I'm hoping I can change that next season.
I think BT sports shows some Ligue 1 matches. Most of them will have to be streamed.
Vincent Koziello reminds me of little Jack Wilshere.
Lyon look impressive. 2 games 2 wins, 5 goals 9 conceded. Lacaette with all 5.

The defence seems a bit leaky. However a 100% win record with a negative scored/conceded ratio is indeed pretty impressive.
0 conceded.
Edinson Walcott:
To think that guy could have finished any half chance in the world with his eyes closed as little as three years ago. PSG have ruined him as a striker irrevocably.
Wow. Just wow. Worst one was when he rounded the goalkeeper and cut back but was so lacking in confidence that he looked like he passed it out of play for an injured player.

movement is still great, touch is walcott-esque, finishing is way worse than walcott-esque. he looks busted

Shadow of what he once was, will probably still bag 20 in that league considering the quality of his teammates however

I used to think so but everyone reaches a point of no return. You can't relegate one of the best centreforwards in Europe to the wing for 3 straight years without doing some damage to his game.
Told ya guys. He wasn't that much better last season too, missed a whole load of good chances
He gets to chances though. Law of averages says that he will put away a fair few in the end. Compare that to our lot who hardly get into goal scoring situations at all.
i would still take a punt on him at 40-50m pounds given his advanced years. He just needs to be played at 9 and feel like he's the man. maybe he felt emasculated in the shadow of Ibra
50 million? Are you serious claud?
With Zlatan having left and there not being a striker out there they can swoop for without some potential difficulty, I can not see them allowing Cavani to leave even if the price is £50m.

It looked exactly like what Walcott is up to on most match days. Especially that run in behind followed by a horsy first touch that almost put the ball out for a goalkick.
Honestly, I can barely recall any game where any one player had as many class opportunities to score as Cavani had in that clip. Poor guy can't have slept a minute the night after that.
