I'm with flo. I have to say I don't get the Aouar hype. Lyon always seem to have a bunch of these players (Lacazette, Fekir, Aouar, Depay) who aren't quite good enough for top level and they somehow still manage to move them on for big money because of their reputation as a club that gets talent-scouting right.
Aouar has had a few impressive performances in the CL against English sides to be fair. Looks a hard worker and very technically accomplished. But I read a couple of posts on twitter from Ligue 1 sources that seem to suggest he takes his foot off the gas against smaller sides. May just be another classic case of a player lacking motivation after missing out on a move, and Juninho's comment recently about not keeping unhappy players may be an indicator of that, but it does worry me a little.
I generally agree with your weariness on Ligue 1 players though, especially when it comes to midfielders. The amount of time and space they seem to get is very different. It's why I was never so keen on Camavinga. Hard to know where the talent ends and the hype begins.
