French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[hahay]

First of all, I don't expect Neymar to go anywhere at this point. His current wage is too high for all the rich teams to accept. Maybe Newcastle would still try their luck with him but I don't think that he would like to go there in the first place. The remaining rich teams wouldn't pay a significant amount just to sign him too. So Neymar is staying as it seems and Galtier wants him in the lineup too. If Neymar doesn't have a season with serious injuries I expect a bigger contribution from him which is going to be important for the Champions League.

That's right, after all, Paris Saint Germain didn't hear any rumors that they would sell the Brazilian. And they are also not interested in having another team try to submit a proposal for his move. I think they will refuse if someone makes an offer. Moreover I heard that their coach said that Neymar was part of the strategy he was going to implement.

There were a lot of rumors about Neymar and even before the new coach came Neymar was one of the PSG players ready to be sold or loaned out, but the strongest option was to go on loan with the wages paid by both teams being paid half each. Newcastle were very capable of getting Neymar but for Neymar himself it would not be possible to accept him because Newcastle currently are a rich team but they are still a mediocre team, it is an impossible move because even Newcastle are not a team that is in the top four.

But the rumors are only rumors that until now no serious proposals have come to Paris Saint Germain's table. But I'm a bit sure that the Paris Saint Germain coach will try to keep Neymar to be part of them next season. I also see that the chances of Neymar leaving Paris Saint Germain are very small.

[dezoel]

With the salary burden applied to Neymar is very large indeed it will be very difficult for other teams to bring him from PSG unless the team is really good from a financial point of view.
Newcastle so far still want Neymar but indeed I also feel not too sure about this because it is definitely not Neymar's choice unless their money can melt Neymar heart.

Right now, salary burden is surely having big impact on transfer of Neymar otherwise few clubs still want to bring him in their club specially I have name of two or three clubs, but they want some cut in this salary which is not happening if he wants to enjoy some better in the game surely he needs to do cut as right now Newcastle United and two more clubs can do offer for him which could be good for his future in the game as right now he is having many issues in PSG specially with management and two-star players of PSG also having problems with him as well which is not good for his future at this club.

His most time in PSG lost due to injuries and then having not better results is another problem for him here, so if he tries to join any other club where he has better time then surely he can improve his game which could be helpful.

PSG's current attacking line is good enough actually and I don't believe they need to strengthen it more. They had better be careful about not losing any player there. Neymar has been rumoured but it would probably stay as a rumour too. Because his wage is quite high for many big teams to think twice about signing him this summer. He would continue here.

I heard the news that there was some kind of conflict between Mbappe and Messi regarding Neymar, but since arrival of Christophe Galtier to PSG, Neymar will still be here and become an important component Galtier. Hopefully Neymar can always be fit and show a good performance this season in every match PSG, if not then it's clear that next season Neymar fate will be sold for sure.

It is very important for Neymar how long he will play in Paris SG. In fact, I think that he has not been able to show the expected performance in the past years. Mbappe plays himself as the third attacker in the line of Messi and still hasn't made that big leap. I don't know what will happen next year, but I'm sure you won't want to leave Paris. Neymar should show himself more this year. He's a superstar and he should show it more.

I guess galtier has a strong character and he won't let the players do as they like, and clearly neymar is one of his important pieces, even neymar looks motivated and he stated that he is training hard maybe we will see the old neymar next season.

In very early days of his current club as coach Galtier announces he is having special role for Neymar in his system, so after this announcement there were no chance for him to leave this club, but recently we are having some different news from different channels which are creating serious feud about this because things are not in favor of this player specially his behavior with management is also not good so most chances they are finding some better and acceptable offer for him with trying to bring new blood at this club.

Even many believing Ronaldo is also one of the option for them to join this club but right now nothing is sure with we have some good days in this transfer window many changes can happen, and we can expect any big announcement from these parties about new changes.

The problem is he doesn't want a pay cut at the moment, he agrees to move to any club but doesn't agree with a pay cut which makes it difficult for other clubs to want his services.
Indeed over the past few seasons I still feel that his performances have been below average which makes it difficult for Neymar and it's clear the higher ups there don't want this kind of performance at the wages and costs PSG have paid for him.

PSG gives Neymar a lot of wages. But Neymar is not playing well with the PSG team. He has played very badly in the last few seasons. But Neymar will not want to leave PSG now. No other team will now pay high wages to Neymar like PSG. Because Neymar's performance is not good. We will probably see Neymar in PSG's jersey for a few more seasons.

I agree with you. Unless Christophe Galtier is a more experienced coach for a platform like the Champions League, he is a very tough character. And if Christophe Galtier is allowed to lead the team independently, he may be able to make the PSG team stronger. At the same time, if Neymar is not injured, we will see a stable performance from the Neymar, Messi and Mbappe trio.

In this case my opinion is a little different, actually Neymar is still playing very well at PSG and he can still support Mbappe to give momentum and opportunities there. But because the money that PSG spent on him from wages and purchases from Barcelona, which was quite expensive, made the higher-ups not too satisfied with his performance even though it was good because they wanted more than that.
If we look at the several seasons that have passed, the performance is actually still at the same stage although there are slight differences but it's not very conspicuous.

Neymar is a player who has always been someone who was really confused about his future. First of all, he left Barcelona which was not a correct decision in my opinion. Now we have heard a lot about him wanting out of PSG but eventually, he did stay at the club. I don't think this was a very bad decision. However, I think PSG is a team that has to compete for the league title right now. That does not mean anything to anyone. The main target of PSG is the Champions League Trophy and they are not going to be able to get that, no matter how hard they try.

But if we look at the target of PSG this season, actually they did not really target the Champions League in Galtier's first season in charge and put more emphasis on the focus of the game developing and playing better while the Champions League was not a demand for Galtier even though it was clear in this case. wanted that but it seems that Nasser Al-Khelaifi would prefer Galtier to focus on adapting at the club and understanding the players.

Galtier have stated at a press conference that putting Neymar on the wing was a mistake (and Pochettino has always done that)

I'm curious about what strategy Galtier will do because to be honest, Neymar, who is currently earning a lot salary at PSG, really doesn't live up to expectations

for now the value (transfer value and salary) of neymar is still high but if until next season he looks disappointing then I'm sure PSG will throw him away

There were a lot of players who came to PSG with a lot of expectations. However, they were not able to live up to their expectations, or even come close to them. Probably part of the reason is there is not any kind of competition for PSG in the league and players can afford to not take things very seriously. And that's why I think a lot of players actually unperformed. Let's see what happens in the next season but I really don't have any high hopes for PSG, no matter what they do.

[ilovealtcoins]

PSG will need all of their main players in their attacking line to be successful in not only the Ligue 1 but also the Champions League. Mbappe is the most valuable player for them now of course. He has played a very crucial role for the team in every tournament they have played. Messi and Neymar were staying behind his performance mostly but they were quite decent too. I believe these two will show a bigger level of performance next season to be a bigger help for the team.

It would be great to see them improve their performance next season and score many goals. Are there any expectations we have for them? YES! Having a good bonding can open up many opportunities. The controversy is that they are overrated players who don't deliver their performance to their potential. Seeing Mbappe perform well, I look forward to seeing Messi and Neymar achieve the best outcome possible. The team is grateful to have them, and we look forward to watching their super performances next season.

Looking at their performance from this season and with the quality of the players actually I think without saying that it is quite clear that PSG are already the best. But in this case only for the domestic league they claim that because the fact with the squad they have now it doesn't prove anything for the Champions League.
High hopes year after year have brought nothing in the Champions League and they have to think hard again here.

PSG really need to upgrade their game because with the type of players that they have in the squad they should not have done so bad in the champions league. And they also lost a few matches which they should not have lost in the league as well. There are obviously a lot of controversy going on around PSG. The great names that are in the club are just because they are getting paid so well otherwise there would never have stayed in PSG.

Tough competition like premier league and la liga build a winning mentality , no wonder champions league winner come from these two league mostly unlike the french league that a club like psg will lay in a comfort zone and will never grow to have a champion mentality as they used to beat small weak teams.

I bet even messi and cristiano plus haaland joined psg , they will remain struggle to win the champions league.

It's true that many players are brought to PSG with very high expectations, but unfortunately many players fail to show their best performance.
One of them is Neymar, who was brought in from Barcelona at a very expensive price and was also given a very high salary by PSG. But Neymar
couldn't make a big contribution to PSG, in stark contrast to Mbappe who was given a fantastic contract, but Mbappe managed to make a big contribution
to PSG. Therefore PSG plans to sell some of its players, to be able to rebuild a much better PSG squad. The one that will be sold is Neymar,
but the problem is not many clubs are interested in buying Neymar. In addition to the expensive price of Neymar, Neymar's salary is also high and
what makes many other clubs hesitant to buy Neymar is that Neymar is prone to injury. It looks like it will be difficult for PSG to sell Neymar.

Even PSG will not only make major changes to its squad, PSG have also changed their coach and sporting director. So it is very interesting to see
the changes made by PSG management to rebuild PSG into a strong squad, in order to win the Champions League trophy which has been their target
for a long time.

The problem is he doesn't want a pay cut at the moment, he agrees to move to any club but doesn't agree with a pay cut which makes it difficult for other clubs to want his services.
Indeed over the past few seasons I still feel that his performances have been below average which makes it difficult for Neymar and it's clear the higher ups there don't want this kind of performance at the wages and costs PSG have paid for him.

I don't think he wants to go to "any" team, because if that's the case, I am sure Newcastle would be willing to pay him what he wants, wouldn't they? I seriously do not know what their offer was, but they have way more than enough to get Neymar, in fact they have enough money to get 100 Neymars and it would still not make a single dent in the owners wallet, dude has like 300+ billion dollars networth give or take.

In the end, we are talking about something that would make a bit of a persona choice in that matter to make that stop, and Neymar probably wants to go to a team that would fight for something. Probably a team in UCL for example.

The great names that are in the club are just because they are getting paid so well otherwise there would never have stayed in PSG.

This issue already raised many times, but sadly it's not creating any positive development as we all know PSG is never been good in discipline which is the biggest issue for them in recent times specially their having players like Mbappé, Neymar and Messi and not doing good in Champions League creating big question marks.

But, most of the peoples are not aware about their policy which is having special treatment with few players, and they are mostly creating feud around the club but with recent change in coaching staff could be good if they improve their discipline as well because with this they will be able to have some good and better understanding between players which is important for good result.

In terms of performance I don't see a bad one there because indeed their performance was very good but when talking about the Champions League even though they played well but of course we also have to look at the opponents they are playing against clearly have good experience too.
In this case I will not blame PSG in terms of performance but in terms of tactics and strategy they clearly lost.
