Hi Ed; How's your day? Any truth to Chelsea being interested in a Lyon player called Houssem Aouar?
If true, how do you rate the guy?
Have a good evening.
{Ed001's Note - not as far as I know, I know some English clubs looked at him but felt he was a bit slow and not up to the physicality of the Prem.}
22 Nov 2018 13:58:52
Surprised they thought he was slow, I watched most Lyon games last year and the kid has some immense potential. Definitely one to keep an eye on.
{Ed001's Note - depends on what they mean by slow, could be slow of thought or slow of understanding instructions.}
22 Nov 2018 14:22:41
Thankyou Ed, Kentonio- a lot of people are saying good things about him (Houssem Aouar) .
22 Nov 2018 15:42:38
A lot of people who watched the French league also said good things of Bakayoko. French league is a pub league. 1 team dominates, the others are crap. Probably on par with the Scottish leagues,
22 Nov 2018 16:00:47
Eden Hazard, Didier Drogba, Ngolo Kante, Thierry Henry etc. were all from the French league.
22 Nov 2018 16:14:48
Disagree with Adams comment. Load of tosh.
22 Nov 2018 19:49:01
Obina and you're point being? Bakayoko was made to look good in a poor league, got found out in 2 different leagues in 2 different countries.
22 Nov 2018 19:34:52
Our greatest striker ever came from the French league š¤¦š¼āāļø Thereās some fickle fans š.
22 Nov 2018 21:52:56
the French league was stronger back then until a little country decided to buy PSG and turn the league into a crap one. Its hardly made the league stronger has it? Fickle hardly mate, just don't get hyped up like you Fifa lot who think you know everything because you've signed him on a game. or watched him for one season. Bakayoko, Fabinho (liverpool) both look out their depths in this league.
22 Nov 2018 21:54:23
Totally agree Obinna some fans need to take a trip down memory lane before they comment. Letās not forget Essien either.
22 Nov 2018 22:20:21
Kingkante, its truly quite a long list.
23 Nov 2018 01:37:16
I agree mate I find it quite disturbing the lack of knowledge some apparent Chelsea fans have on here already. Doesnāt matter what league youāre from thereās class and average players in each one.
23 Nov 2018 07:59:24
Adam is one of those fans. No point wasting your breath.
He says 1 team dominates, however only recently Monaco won the league.
Mbappe, Neymar, mendy, B. Silva, Fekir etc etc. The list is endless. Get your head out mate.
23 Nov 2018 09:50:36
Yes and they all dominate the champions league donāt they?
23 Nov 2018 09:54:53
Neymar hardly made himself in the French league you whopper. He learnt his trade in brazil, then Spain and now a piss easy league in France.
I think youāre all missing the point. Some players look good in a poor league and then get found out in stronger leagues. Not going to go through every player who has made the transition from one league to another. But there are players who look good and can make the step up, others canāt.
23 Nov 2018 10:13:13
Oh such a strong league. PSG already 13 points ahead. Played 13 won 13. Monaco 7 points. 19th place. Brilliant comparison. Even our below average players look good in the French league. Joey barton anyone. just because a player looks good playing in that league doesnāt mean heās good enough for Chelsea.
{Ed001's Note - you could say the same about a player playing in any team outside the top 6 in England....}
23 Nov 2018 12:06:20
In What way have PSG dominated in the champions league? Theyāve done nothing considering the money theyāve spent. Lyon have some fantastic young players there. Fekir, Aouar, NāDombele and Ferland Mendy could all go on to become world class one day.
