French ligue 1 is an excellent championsihp. The little problem is that the world think just English can play football with city team.
I am so happy and glad to see that American people like soccer like I do!
And qui ne saute pas n’est pas lyonnais !!!

Ohhhh, thats right. I remember that, it was stupidity at its finest. The ref made a bad call, Mounier didnt like it. Oh well.

Don’t worry about Mounier. He wasn’t dropped by choice but because he’s suspended for an incident in the CFAs last season (I explain why in the match preview I’ll post soon). Mounier is very much in Puel’s plans (finally, right?).

I really like Faure too, I think he is gonna be a good player someday, he has more of an upside then say Micheal Charvet or Nicolas Seguin. I saw the team sheet, and Faure has been included. Paillot on loan woulnt be a bad idea, but who is to say Lyon doesnt end up buying another center back at some point to crowd him out further.

Also, I saw Pied was in the team sheet. After sheding Remy (mistake) and Karaboue(debatable) and hyping up Grenier like no other, Pied has made the sheet. He has less potential then all the rest I think, but with the guidance of Puel could become great, who knows. I only bring this up because Mounier was not included, and with the window still open, it always scares me to not see him in the team.

@ Inara: No wonder you like Lyon with all its Brazilian flavour.

The weird part is that Puel really likes Faure, who will be part of the group going to Bordeaux tomorrow.

But I think LYon just want to loan Paillot, not sell him.

Bazdarevic, coach of Grenoble, really wants Paillot back as he thinks he has shown great potential for them. So my question is, what does he see (I see it too I guess) that Puel is missing?

But are you rooting for Lyon or Bordeaux? That is the question, Jennifer.

This is totally off topic, but I just discovered that Lyon’s wikipedia page is now translated to Bengali!!! Granted, not much is there, but still. Since I too am Bengali, this is very cool.

/end randomness.
