Clerc Squillaci Boumsong Grosso
Crosas Kallstrom Bodmer
Mounier Fred Ben Arfa

Ben Arfa must starts, Mounier also. Crosas show lot’s potential, Kallstrom can replace Toulalan ( just for one match ) Bodmer show how he is strong and talented. Fred must starts because he didn’t score 400 minutes, that will be five games – against Marseille, Rennes, Strasbourg, Caen and Nice, also he did’t score against Metz in Cup. So that will be 490 minutes. He must bring his confidence back. We can take on Sedan. Last season they couse to as lot’s of porblems. Two games, two wins, but only two goals were in their net. Wendesday is moment to defeat Sedan with hege margin, let’s say some 4-5 goals in their net will be good, for both attackers and morale, like I said before. About coach. We need some energetick coach, who will be confidnet in succes, and who only knows for wins and titles. Perrin is good, but not good enough for Lyon. He maybe can lead Sochaux, but Lyon isn’t Sochaux. Lyon can’t be happy with ponit against Rennes and Nice, teams who are avarege in ligue. And defeat at Velodrome is not good. Last season we churshed them 1-4. Marseille is hot at home, but Lyon must won big games. So we must win both games, gainst Sedan and, of course, against Nancy. Allez Lyonnais

Pied I think is a better prospect then Karaaboue, but then again both look good. I dont expect to see either in the first team next year, maybe loans to Ligue 2 or National. Other players I want to highlight in the reserves since Salieri mentioned summer purchases.

While I realize that the CL is the ultimate goal, and that seasoned campaigners may need to be brought in, I still feel that in the long term the way to go is development through the youth team. So while I feel a perfect fit for the left back spot would be Jeremy Mathieu, seeing as how Tolouse is in a rough spot. I also like Vincent Muratori of Monaco and Maxwell of Inter Milan. Muratori is still young but has potential while Mathieu and Maxwell.

As for the right back spot, one of Clerc or Revs has to leave, so if one did I wouldnt like to see someone brought in, I think Lyon has plenty of youth depth there. Loic Abenzoar, of Martinque decent, is solid but lacks attacking purpose. And Lamine Gassama, a Sengalese player, has alot of attacking purpose to him. So give one of them a shot in the first team next year, before buying someone for a huge chunk of change.

Im not in the back of your room ?!

You know, L’Equipe had this article the other day that Lyon were back to following Lippi. Not sure how I feel about that. On one hand, he would be really respected by his players (unlike Perrin), and you get the feeling that he won’t take shit from them. Plus I think Aulas wouldn’t mind paying him a high salary either. So wages aren’t a barrier.

But I don’t think he’d be very interested in the Lyon job. First, he said that he didn’t want to go to a place where he would have to learn a new language (essentially, he wants to stay in Italy), and he will have Milan, Juventus, and Inter after his services this summer since all three of those clubs look like they’ll be losing their manager. And he might not be interested in France – the big three leagues are a lot more glamorous.

Your other favorite, Jeremy Pied, seems to get a lot of attention from OL, so I imagine he’ll also be signed sooner or later.
