Full squad if anyones interested....

Goalkeepers: Mickael Landreau (Bastia), Hugo Lloris (Tottenham Hotspur), Steve Mandanda (Marseille)

Defenders: Gael Clichy (Manchester City), Mathieu Debuchy (Newcastle United), Patrice Evra (Manchester United), Laurent Koscielny (Arsenal), Adil Rami (Valence), Bacary Sagna (Arsenal), Mamadou Sakho (Paris St Germain), Raphael Varane (Real Madrid)

Midfielders: Yohan Cabaye (Newcastle United), Etienne Capoue (Toulouse), Maxime Gonalons (Lyon), Blaise Matuidi (Paris St Germain), Moussa Sissoko (Newcastle United), Mathieu Valbuena (Marseille)

Forwards: Romain Alessandrini (Stade Rennes), Karim Benzema (Real Madrid), Olivier Giroud (Arsenal), Bafetimbi Gomis (Lyon), Jeremy Menez (Paris St Germain), Franck Ribery (Bayern Munich)

[sportsczy]

Yeah... just for you Mole. Deschamps said this about Mbiwa: "He's had a complicated season with Montpellier. He was played as a DM his last game there and hadn't played much when his departure was understood. He goes to a new club and plays 10 minutes as a DM as well. I don't feel like he's ready at this time. Where he plays is not a problem for me. But how much he plays and at what position will drive my decision."

Anyhow, i'm hoping for Sagna-Varane-Sakho-Evra-Gonalons-Matuidi-Cabaye-Valbuena-Ribery-Benzema.

Watch out for Alessandrini... he's a a lefty winger with a big shot and has been freaking amazing this year.

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

I thought that was the reason Sports anyway, i'm sure him coming on the last 10 mins to play DM didn't help matters

I would expect him to get back in if he plays consistently and i'm sure he will as he was a starter before hand no?

I have heard a lot of Alessandrini recently mainly because as with any french player we have been linked with him

[Margera]

I am surprised and happy about Varane's performance. Did fantastic for a 19-year old and in his first clasico. Having said that I was quite disappointed by our overall game, we were somewhat lucky to get the draw in my opinion.

Will be interesting to see if Varane becomes a consistent starter now. Great performance from him anyway.

Superbad

Mclovin <3. Great movie ;d.

One of my favourites lol

i think Deschamps made a last minute adjustment to his list, cant blame him

Yapou will take fatass Rami off that list very soon. or kosc, i have a feeling Rami offers something different, while yapou has the same strength as kosc but is more promising.

[cyberman]

He, smalling and jones are the best young defenders in he world imo. Smalling especially, I know he's 22 or something but he had a late start but he has no weakness to his game. He's rio and vidic combined.
Jones is so good he plays as rb and dm and doesn't look out of place.hes 19 as well
Utd apparently had verane but couldn't guarantee him games, he'd never develop here unless he's loaned out ala fabio de silva.
Well just see if the constant upheaval at Madrid or the Spanish clique affect his development in any way

Have you seen smalling over last two years? What jones as a cb can do with the ball at 19?
Maybe he has to join juve to be appreciated

[Margera]

Lol yeah that was a good one. Have to watch the movie again one day . Not many can match the awesomeness that is Mclovin.

I also loved the scene between the shopkeeper and the 2 cops after the robbery.

"The robber looked like Eminem"

"He looked like M&M ?" (draws picture of the candy) ...

always sugarcoating it, man utd was around until madrid arrived via zidane and it was obvious you had no shot

Nah, DD called Varane last time as well but didnt play. He said Varane is a regular now so he is a regular for france as well.

Rami isn't in his plans. Kos and Mbiwa will probably play

Mangala just became a starter at Porto (Rolando sold)... watch out for him. I think he bumps someone off.

[RealGunner]

Yea Mangala is a beast. Reminds me of Desailly

[Mr Nick09]

Mangala having a seat because Rolando is sold? forgive me if im not excited, i will watch out, but i dont expect much.

[The Franchise]

Mangala plays over Rolando, even before Rolando being moved. In fact Rolando is being moved mostly because he aint a automatic starter anymore.

Mangala has been the best CB at the club for about 6 months already.

[Mr Nick09]

it's the portuguese league dani

edit: although, makes sense why he is going to qpr, i guess the rolando of 2010 is now a memory uh?

[sportsczy]

You should. Porto rejected an offer of 15 million Euros by Arsenal this winter and the only reason was that they knew he was going to be the starter. Rolando has been beaten out this year too.... they just think Mangala is going to be a superstar and created the space for him. Typical Porto business.

I've followed Mangala for a while and he's the absolute real deal. Parisian too lol.

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

If Mangala played for Real he would be the 3rd best defender of all time behind Varane and Beckenbauer in Nick's view.

[Mr Nick09]

anyway, i was talking out of my arse since he didnt follow mangala. but oh well, one more reason to get rid of kosc and rami.

Varane-Sakho-Yapou-Mangala HALA NEGRITOS

Haha yeah I forgot what the thread was actually about . Does anyone have an idea if Varane will start in the friendly game against Germany ?

[The Sanchez]

[Zealous]

Dude was a straight up beast. 'Nuff said.

[Guest]

Varane was just on another level. He outpaced everyone - including Messi. And some of his tackles were incredible. He had no business getting to some of those balls, and he made clean tackles too.

[Adit]

Good in the air,tall,good pace for a defender and most importantly with a very cool head . He barely fouls and never goes down with out thinking twice.. He is a complete package.
