SUMMER CLEANING: OUT WITH THE OLD IN WITH THE NEW?
By: John | 18 Comments
Five veteren players who might be on the way out this summer.
Lyon reached a turning point in this season in that there was an influx of youth during their summer mercato which, coupled with their aging core, signaled that the rebuilding of the squad was underway; whether intentional or not, something had to give. There was the departure of our iconic keeper and guardian of Lyon’s gates Gregory Coupet -who let us in on the tiny “culture” war that was going on in the dressing room between veterans and the youngsters- and his subsequent replacement by the post-pubescent Hugo Lloris, Fred missing his family and therefore acting like a duplicitous scumbag just to be able to leave on a free transfer- which I’m sure OL would have obliged him with anyway; Juninho’s aging legs, and a flood of a new, young, ambitous crop of midfielders in the summer foretoled what was to come.
Now, the end of this season may see one of Lyon’s greatest icons- Juni’s having a conference at 1830 CET today- and several veterans on their way out. Juni is most certainly retiring, Sidney Gouvou is threatening to leave again, for the millionth time; Kim Kallstrom is finding playing time hard to come by and will find it even harder in the future, and Fabio Grosso longs for his homeland, is possibly bored at not winning any trophies this season, has possibly fallen out with Puel or all three, who cares.
Anyway, the point is this: OL’s undergoing a transition, and what I want to now is, who do you guys think should/will go/stay and why? What has each of these players meant to the club and what will their departure/staying mean to Lyon?
