French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

While I agree that PSG doesn't normally aim ligue one because they know that they can get that, and mostly aim UCL and they are looking to get that, I can say that it's clear we are going to end up with them not getting it this year, so they may consider this year as development season maybe? If they keep on rushing to get some players, they will spend way too much money way too quickly and that could lead to making mistakes, but if they take a few more seasons to adjust, then they could make sure that they have all the right players in the team for a chance to get UCL as well.

I feel like in a few seasons Peps contract will end, and he has talked about leaving City before, maybe they could try to get him since he would be a great manager for them.

Paris Saint Germaine already have a fantastic squad that can compete in the biggest competitions and that's why I totally concur with your opinion. Rushing to sign players in other to further boost the team's quality, depth and strength doesn't translate to having a great campaign come next season so like you rightly said, I think it'll be be a good idea to allow the club manager to build the team with the available players at the club. I strongly believe that Paris Saint Germaine under Luis Enrique will succeed because of his wealth of football knowledge so if I'm to advise the club management, I'll suggest they allow the Spanish manager do things his own ways.

This has been an obstacle ahead of them to win a Champions League title as well so far. All these youngsters need to play productive together. PSG has lost Mbappe maybe but it isn't the end of the world. While they had him they couldn't become champions there either. As long as Luis Enrique finds out a way to make this team play more effectively, it is still possible to make it.    However I still hope to see them finding a replacement for Mbappe this summer.

I think the struggle for PSG to win the Champions League competition still remains despite the number of young talents the coach is bringing into the team, it's going to be difficult for the players to blend at once but once they keep working together they are sure of improving the performance of the team and hopefully they can retain their dominance as the favorite team in the French league and winning the Champions League competition is still possible without the presence of Mbappe but the team needs to be consistent in performance and play team football i believe they will win the Champions League soon.

That's a big value & an expensive price if PSG recruits players aged 23 - 28 years with average performance. But not for Joao Neves, this kid has great potential, plays as DMF, he played 50 times with almost 3K minutes played, made 4 goals & 2 assists for Benfica. Then regarding squad depth on the attacking side, I think PSG already has it there, they have Dembele, Goncalo Ramos & Marco Asensio, they're worthy top players.

It appears to me like too much of a determination on the side of PSG for me, it's very understandable they want to make sure they get their team in the best form they can before the beginning of the season since they had lost of their key players to transfer already, the exit of the player at some point is threatening their chances of been really firm again but then ist not enough for this show of hyper determination, they signed a good valued player but the money spent on him is just too high and he's not even fitting in for the most important vacant spot because that's not his play spot. PSG still have a good squad depth with all of this and I'm believing it's enough to help them through the season.
