Maybe Newcastle when Pards gets the bullet.

We don't have anywhere near the ambition to make that happen.

Lacazette with a Gervais moment

in for PSG.. just bought my new jersey and also got one of their old OPEL throwbacks.. time to win the league again. #IciCestParis amirite?

Fofana - Originally a CM but playing in CB so far this campaign and excelling.

Lacazette - Pacy technical attacker. Has been playing out wide throughout his career but with Gomis and Lisandro's departures he's moved to CF

Grenier - Just think Lampard. That's basically the type of player he is. Will score you goals and create chances as well. Plays behind the striker.

Gonalons - Combative midfielder. Overrated as are all DM's but very solid player.

Gourcuff - Having abit of a resurgence after a Torres esque decline. Has excelled playing in a free role starting from the left hand side so far.

Benzia - FIFA career mode legend. Supposedly a striker but playing RW

AND

A.Lopes - one of the most underrated goalkeepers out there. Will be starting for Portugal real soon if his form keeps up.

Corchia is very good, surely one of the big clubs will sign him soon

iirc Lyon said the asking price was too much... PSG looks like they want Dani Alves.. Monaco aren't looking to spend at RB and OM don't have the money to purchase him outright..

Looks like he'll stay another season at Sochaux.

I am a little surprised seeing Gourcuff do so well from LAM. But man on man is he talented. It was always about mentality with him.

Agreed he looks very good today. I would love him to replace Johnson for us.

I wouldn't really call Gonalons combative.... he's more in the Toulalan or Busquets mould than combative.

What a chance by Sochaux. They don't create much but should've scored there.

Could have gone anywhere that

Boudebouz flopping hard. Shoudl've scored

that was a back pass  

benzia already makes better runs than benzema ffs

rofl

Well at Benzia's age, Benzema ran too. Shame what happened to him.

Malbranque would have got there 5 years ago

Gourcuff ffs, when he is good he is a joy to watch

Tis true.

He and Rooney both think they are midfielders now

kid is 18. his goal was really nice, great technique on and off the ball. drags the defense on the right and then cut left to make separation, control, goal. simple. his run was very nice.

benzema? he becane very lazy, would rather have the ball in his feet so he can play one twos. that's what he likes.

Lyon > Monaco and Marseille IMO.

It Will be an interesting battle for that 3rd place.
