It’s not just the big guns that are active this transfer window. Lyon’s collection of assorted youth players will be leaving on loan in search of playing time. Corey will be happy since it’s quite possible he loves these guys more than the senior players.
Anthony Mounier is moving closer to finalizing a six month [...]

With only three days left in the transfer window, Lyon’s mercato is wrapping up, and as far as I know, these two are the last arrivals (unless Lyon do bring in a DM). Ederson has been a long time Lyon target, and today, he signed from Nice for €15m on a 4 and a half [...]
Lyon PostSecret: Week 3
By: Inara | 1 Comment
Olympique Lyonnais is an easy club to play for. They possess the best squad in France by miles, have a lot of money and resources, wear cool black kits in Europe, and could win domestic titles with even a blind baboon coaching them. All Lyon ask of their players is to keep their mouths shut, [...]

It’s one of my favorite times of the year as a football fan. Tomorrow, the Rhone-Alps rumble will be taking place, a game which is one of the hottest derbies in France. Along with Lille-Lens, you could say that Lyon vs. Saint-Etienne is THE derby of France.
I’ve already covered the derby’s background in a [...]
Only Five Days Left

Silly season went by very quickly, and though it doesn’t seem like it, Lyon have been fairly busy during this transfer window. We sold Nadir Belhadj to Lens, loaned Fabio Santos to Sao Paulo for six months, received Marc Crosas on loan from Barca, and bought Cesar Delgado from Cruz Azul.
Lyon haven’t exactly dealt with [...]

Wow, I didn’t think it was possible, but Juventus have hit another low. I mean, yeah they like to match fix and win imaginary penalties and otherwise engage in sleazy transfer dealings. I can forgive all that. But as for their latest bit of unclassiness over the transfer of the equally unclassy Jean-Alain Boumsong to [...]
Winning Makes Me Feel Good
By: Inara | No Comments
It feels like forever since the last time Lyon not only won a game, but did so with a clean sheet. The last three Lyon games have been rather depressing, with the last two games resulting in heavy losses, with an understrength Le Mans dumping us out of the League Cup and Lens humiliating us [...]
Letter to Lyon

Dear Lyon,
I know I’ve ignored you the past couple of days, but I just had to get away from you.
Now that I’ve had sufficient time to think about things, I have a few things to say.

This is going to be an abbreviated match preview. With the African Cup of Nations starting tomorrow, I have my hands full with the Ghana World Cup Blog, so don’t be alarmed if I don’t post as frequently as I normally do.
Tomorrow, Lyon will be traveling to Lens in what is definitely not a [...]
Injury Horrors: The Brazilian Edition

WHY OH WHY????
It’s like every blade of grass is determined to ruin Lyon this season. How else can you explain the fact that Lyon have lost four defensive players to serious, long term knee injuries in the space of six months? FOUR.
First there was Gregory Coupet, immediately followed by Cris, then Patrick Muller, [...]
