Viking : It’s Ush. Sonny Anderson was a good striker, which Brazil are reknowned for, not for defenders. Sonny Anderson was not selected in the Brazil squad because he wasn’t good enough, it was 97-01, they had probably the best strikers of all time during that period in Bebeto, Romario and Ronaldo. Not to mention other attacking players such as Rivaldo and Ronaldinho.

Well Juan seems only favoured when Lucio or Alex can’t play. Not sure anyway, Cris hasn’t had a good past two seasons at all whereas Juans been consistant and they won the Copa America with him.

Mensah for 8.4M€, for five years. A little better than originally thought.

i think the reason why Cris wasnt selected for the starting eleven for Brazil was because of politics. I rate Cris higher than Juan and Brazil play him all the time.

Mensah is called the ‘Black Cris’.

I disagree with Rush about Cris level. Sonny Anderson was a wonderful striker but he was not oftenly selected in the national team of Brazil, like Cris.

I’ve just bought the tickets to the Partizan – Lyon match, I guess my dream of watching OL play will really come true! I can only hope that Lyon fields its best lineup in Belgrade, I really want to see Juninho, Benzema, Fred, Lloris, Toulalan and Cris instead of the U17 team, and if I remember correctly, OL had already promised to play all their stars. It will definetely be an interesting match, the stadium should be full as Partizan are going to use this friendly as a presentation of their new team for the season with all the glamour and extra activities that come with it. I really can’t wait!

three of the back four have never played a pro game in their lives. And Reveillere is at RB.

Good to see that Lloris is going good though. It’s suck for him if he had a bad game as his first OL match.

Buc 1- OL 0

goal was caused when the defence fell apart for a one on one with lloris.
Gassama is fast as hell.
And hugo just made a good save.
And another.
Defence is really off today. Huge holes.

i’m not really worried about Cris just yet, obviously the club will have to find his replacement relatively soon, but for now he should stick around in our defense. he’s a guy, like juni, who has received offers to play at different teams, in different cities, for a lot more money, but refused simply because he loves OL so much.

Especially this upcoming season with so many youngsters, it’s important to have a couple veteran players around that the kids can rally around.
