I’ll have a post featuring relevant information and stats about him once he has his press conference, but for now, let’s [...]

I plan to post a much longer entry tomorrow about Lyon’s winter transfer season (or lack thereof), but for now, here are some other things that I wanted to mention that don’t deserve their own post.

First off, it’s INTERNATIONAL TIME!!! That’s good news and bad. Good because some players get some rest, bad because [...]
