pfffff…. Lyon has #8 in the bag.

It says that Bazdarevic would like to renew Paillot’s loan. That wouldn’t be a bad thing, since barring an injury catastrophe like last year, Paillot probably won’t play a single game this year. We heard Puel name Bodmer as his forth. Not good.

so wait…….lille have better chance of winning then Nancy ? weird.
This season will probably be our toughest, especially with all the new player that will probably be starting. Only time will tell.

I feel so bad for Grenoble for those odds.
I keep hearing Sandy rumours now ):
I really don’t see him getting a lot of games if he stay though, not that we did get Mensah and Réveillère isn’t leaving. He’d be better off loaned (and like you said, a lot of them are being pushed out of the club, like Remy and Migliore. I don’t see why he can’t go out on loan again.)Posted from

while Grenoble will have quite a challenge to avoid relegation it is a great place to take in a match. Nice crowd, good sight lines in the new stadium and of course, its Grenoble

Off topic, but Lyon’s friendly with Nancy is in progress. I hate how Nancy’s way of dealing with Lyon’s superior technicality is to hack the players down. Fabio Santos got his cheek fractured, and some other OL players have been taken down pretty hard. Not cool. It’s just a friendly. I wish someone at the LFP would complain about Nancy’s thug tactics. Physical force is good and all, but those guys take it to another level.

Also, Juni scored from a free kick. That “old” geezer still has a few miles left in him.

Tafer scored again, does anyone think he’s worth a first team shout this season, also Pied scored - anyone have any info on this player?
Posted from
United Kingdom -
hehe 2 goals in 2 games for that geezer
Posted from
United States -
goals: Juninho, Pied, Tafer.
I think Tafer will make the first team. He and Mounier have impressed the most, as has Gassama, but he’s a RB, and we have Clerc and Reveillere. Pied though probably will be in the reserves this season.

Hmm…Cris Boum 1 goal against a fairly weak team, Paillot bodmer 0 goals against nancy…hmm…also Inara I agree about tafer and mounier, they are progressing like the two b’s did…maybe by the time we sell benzema we’ll already have his replacement. Gassama looks to have A LOT of potential if he shores up a bit this season. I wouldn’t mind seeing the youth play all the cup games, I think they would have a good run at winning it. Can September come already!!

“Touché au visage dans un choc avec le Nancéien Moncef Zerka lors de la première mi-temps du match amical de Lyon face à l’ASNL, jeudi à Villefranche-sur-Saône (3-0), le milieu de terrain brésilien de l’OL Fabio Santos souffre d’une double fracture de la pommette et de l’orbite gauche. Selon la direction du club, il devait passer des examens à l’hôpital de la ville et pourrait rester en observation jeudi soir.
Fabio Santos, qui revient d’un prêt de six mois au FC Sao Paulo (première division brésilienne) devrait rester indisponible plusieurs mois, selon les explications de l’entraîneur Claude Puel données à la fin de la partie. Lors du stage de Tignes (2 au 12 juillet), le Brésilien s’était donné une grosse entorse à une cheville et disputait jeudi soir son premier match de la saison.”
This is directly from L’équipe
For those not fluent in french…he has two fractures, his cheek and around his left eye. And should be out for a while

Ronald, the reason that Nancy has worse odds than Lille is because they lost Kim, Chretien, and will lose Puygrenier, who are the three best players they had last season. Lille lost players too, but of what’s left, Lille has the better team (though Nancy has the better coach). But that’s what makes Nancy so special - no one expects anything from them, and yet they always manage to surpass expectations.

rougebleu: Claude Puel was saying that Fabio Santos would be out for several months. That makes me so mad at Nancy. It was just a friendly, geez.
I was really looking forward to seeing him play this year. I feel bad for the guy - he never gets his chance, something is always happening to him.
Oh well, at least we got Makoun, right?

United States -
that Makoun deal looking sweeter as the day passes

I think if Puel can instill a team ethic, rather than individuals, this team can really do some damage this year. There will naturally be some rotation, but my favoured line up so far:
Benz
Delgado Keita/Govou
Pranjic
Juni/Ederson
Toulalan
Grosso Mensah Cris Clerc
LlorisPlaying two holding midfielders in Makoun and Toulalan should be reserved for games against extremely technical opposition.

Eto?? He’d still be second fiddle to Benz surely?Posted from

I love Jean-mimi to death, but moments like these make me want to slam my head against my desk.
A few years ago, it was possible. What Aulas said was true, Lyon had the chance to sign Eto’o from Mallorca. In fact, Eto’o had wanted to come, but according to him, Aulas negotiated too hard.
But now? I don’t see how it’s possible.

This rumor doesn’t go away: Kallstrom-Piquionne trade.

Two months for Santos to recover. Which means he’ll be back just in time to play against Nancy again. I hope he exacts his revenge.

I’m assuming he just broke his cheek bone. “Sporting Life” is saying he broke his leg also?

I think SL just made an error. The official website doesn’t say anything about a broken leg.

If Fabio’s willing to wear a face protector, his return time should be cut in half. I remember Cribari fractured his face (that’s what I call it) and he’s was supposed to be out for awhile. Came back pretty quickly.

Sad for Fabio.
He really deserves a chance to prove how good he can be on a pitch.
I like this kind of warrior player, Lyon needed some last year !Posted from
