French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[D-law]

Real Madrid with their financial ability i am sure they can able to buy him from PSG and not impossible for Madrid to make him as saga transfer this January with possibilities as the most of expensive player transfer in the world but there was a bad rumour because PSG president won't let him went to Madrid this because Nasser Al-Khelaifi had bad relationship with Madrid President so he will let Mbappe leave but Madrid is exception club for him and with his current salary i don't think there will be a team who willing to spend a lot of money to buy him unless Madrid especially seems Mbappe is typical player who difficult to control because of his behaviour

PSG have fenced off Mbappe with a new contract that will see the player stay at the Parc des Princes until 2025, PSG also fenced off one of its star players with very special treatment in his new contract. In addition to salaries and bonuses which are certainly very high, Mbappe is also rumored to have an important role as club director.

Real Madrid will certainly find it difficult to hijack Mbappe from PSG, because Mbappe current salary at PSG is worth 4 million pounds per month. If Madrid are able to provide the luxury that Mbappe has at PSG, then Madrid will have no difficulty in bringing Mbappe to the Santiago Bernabeu.

Bringing Mbappe to Real Madrid is a big waste of funds
They should get another right wing player since Hazard has been a flop for sometime
Why should they even consider hijacking such. It's either Messi and Neymar leaves so he can play whatever he wants, but he will never win the Champions League there

Talking about Madrid, they don't need mbappe because there are a lot of capable strikers there. PSG must think of a strategy on how to make mbappe not selfish, if in the past mbappe had a problem with neymar it was not a problem but now mbappe has a problem with galtier, this is really not an easy thing. Galtier said that the aim of changing/rotation the position of the three strikers at this time is so that PSG does not depend on any one of the three and that is what mbappe does not like.

[Bobrox]

I believe PSG is not afraid to sell him anywhere if they get a favorable price for him. And they should be able to get a reasonable price for him. I feel like PSG actually couldn't care less about where they were going to sell mbappe. I really don't think it matters to them if he transfers to Real Madrid or not. As a matter of fact, last time when there was a lot of talk about if mbappe was actually moving to Real Madrid or not and PSG didn't let him leave, I think it was because they just wanted him to be a part of the team. Not because they didn't want him to move to Real Madrid.

I really wonder how he is slated to perform if he does move away from PSG. PSG has absolutely spoiled him. Now I think it is going to be a problem for him to get settled into any team.

Keep make changing room more conducive is not matter if have to sell Mbappe at January window transfer open after he has announced want to leave PSG on next window transfer. Facing problem find new club want to pay with higher transfer values include need to pay most expensive salary and include with add on bonuses receiving by Mbappe. It is  dilemma for PSG if keeping Mbappe until his contract expires in 2025 will have a bad impact on the conditions of teamwork after given several bad opinion with their partner from Neymar and Lionel Messi.

Problem faced by PSG why not selling him trough Real Madrid offering above 200 million euro and try keep extended him until 2025.

I don't know what Mbappe is looking for right now, even though he already has everything at PSG it can even be said that he has absolute power in the PSG squad, but now he is rumored to be leaving again in January just for trivial reasons "Uncomfortable", indeed So far Madrid is the club that wants Mbappe the most but after the rejection of Mbappe in the last transfer market, I think now Madrid fans have hated him, besides that as you said of course signing Mbappe will obviously only drain Madrid finances, so it's more good for Madrid to look for other players who are cheap but have high quality and talent in January.

Eden Hazard was a great player while he was playing for Chelsea. He was like the most important player of the team. Signing for Real Madrid was a really huge mistake for him indeed. Real Madrid spent €115m to sign him and it was a huge waste of money. Real Madrid are going on with Vinicius Jr on the left wing and Valverde on the right one.

Maybe Real Madrid would like to replace Valverde with another right winger. Because I don't think that he is good enough for that position. Mbappe has been playing as a striker at PSG for a long time. But he is able to play as a winger as well. Maybe Real Madrid would have him on the right wing and Benzema in the center for some time in case they sign Mbappe in the summer. But this is just a theory so let's see.

But I don't think that Real Madrid are still interested in Mbappe now, his decision in the last transfer market really disappointed Real Madrid. Also the Real Madrid fans will not allow Mbappe to sign, they will definitely put pressure on Real Madrid. Honestly, I'm worried that the same thing will happen at Real Madrid if Mbappe is part of them. As we know Mbappe's behavior at Paris Saint Germain made many people disappointed in him.

Talking about Madrid, they don't need mbappe because there are a lot of capable strikers there. PSG must think of a strategy on how to make mbappe not selfish, if in the past mbappe had a problem with neymar it was not a problem but now mbappe has a problem with galtier, this is really not an easy thing. Galtier said that the aim of changing/rotation the position of the three strikers at this time is so that PSG does not depend on any one of the three and that is what mbappe does not like.

I agree with you that there are many players who are better than Mbappe, it is better for Real Madrid to look for other players than to sign Mbappe. If they want to, they can actually get very good quality players. They have the capital for it, the achievements they achieve will definitely make the players want to be a part of them. They're a big club so there's no need to go after a Mbappe, anyway I'm not sure they're interested in him right now.

Real Madrid will not waste money. They have been searching for a perfect striker for a long time. They want a striker who can serve Real Madrid for a long time like Ronaldo. Because Real Madrid doesn't usually make internal changes in their team. But adding Mbappe to the squad at the moment is too risky for Real Madrid. Mbappe's behavior this season is not that of a professional athlete. He has become very arrogant and selfish. Real Madrid's squad can become unstable if such players are recruited. I don't think Real Madrid management will be interested in signing Mbappe now.

[kro55]

I know that a lot of people do not like Neymar but that's OK. The fact that Neymar has not been able to realize his true potential up until this point really saddens me. And it feels like his career is going to be over in a few years from now.
But if I say that Neymar is not performing at his highest level for PSG, that would be wrong. He is playing really well for PSG in my opinion. He has a very effective link-up with Messi. But for Mbappe, I have to say that he is performing very well. However, I cannot say that he is doing well with the team. He has a really big ego. And this is just a case of PSG spoiling this player. I am telling you, if Mbappe moves from PSG now and switches to any other club, like Real Madrid, he will not be able to adapt.

Mbappe will not adapt anywhere because he will not go anywhere. He has overpriced himself so much (not only in terms of money, but also in terms of his demands on teammates/club management/coaches, etc.) that his value is rubbish when you look at the ratio of spending + risks to the result obtained. Even if he cuts his salary by 10 times it will be a garbage purchase because it is obvious to me that Mbappe is not a professional. He is a bright player, but in order to shine not for several seasons, but for at least a decade, you must be a pro.

I also agree with you. Before it was a case of if he wanted to leave or not. At this point, it has become a question of whether any team actually wants him or not?

I don't think right now any team is actually interested in him. Because the price that anyone is willing to have to pay for him is absolutely unbelievable. The price that has to be paid for him, a whole team can be bought for that price. And a whole team's salary can be given with the salary which any team is going to need to give him.

snip

I don't think that Mbappe is on a road that there is no turning back. As far as I know his dream team has been Real Madrid. He had some photos related to Real Madrid in his childhood if I'm not wrong.
While there is a situation like this, I think that he would make an extra effort to adapt there. Ancelotti has a great system working like a clockwork now. I don't think that Mbappe would maintain a very big ego there also. He is young and one of the reasons of this unnecessarily high ego must be this. I think that he would start being a more disciplined player at Real Madrid in time. He must be already aware of how big Real Madrid history is. PSG are not even close to their level about that. They are just a team owned by some rich guy and they don't have big successes yet. Mbappe is this much comfortable because of that I think.

Mbappe has a really big ego and I think he is determined to maintain that wherever he goes. It is not going to matter if he does change teams. Because once a person gets the taste of power, he does not want to let it pass. And I think that's what is likely to happen with Mbappe.

The problem is no longer money. If Real Madrid could pay huge money with a guaranteed result, they would have done it even after Mbappe's ugly behavior. The problem is that Mbappe has lost himself as a player, at the moment he is not a professional and buying him is buying a pig in a poke that will probably ruin the team from the inside and in half a year will require a transfer to the next club. I think that Mbappe broke / almost broke due to the fact that Haaland is better than him and will receive all Ballon d'Or in the coming years.

Mbappe is actually getting paid about 80 million or so euro if I am not wrong per year, which makes it A LOT more than 4 million a month, I think it's quite important to realize that some of these deals also include sign in bonus as well meaning he was already paid a huge sum of money.

I think it's smarter to just let him stay in PSG of course, but if he was promised something and he doesn't get it, then he may want to leave, after all PSG promised something to keep him at the club and not just money, and if they didn't deliver on their promise then he may want to leave. In that case PSG will have to sell the player, and for a good amount of money too.

I have checked it up and he has about 27 red cards, it will be 28 inclusive of the recent one. However he is far behind one Bedoya who has 46 red cards to his name

Ramos when he saw this: Say no more word, challenge accepted
Strasbourg played today vs Lille and lost 3-0. They will return to the relegation zone if they will continue like that. They were better last season by far..
Otherwise, Lens - Montpellier, Rennes - Lyon are challenging games and obviously PSG - Marseille this Sunday is the best match to follow to see if PSG will be able to win and with how many goals?

[Velvet78]

After having a really great season Strasbourg are dealing with very serious problems now. They won only once in eleven games so far. They lost to Lille home today by 3-0 and continued to play very badly. I don't know what has changed about them in a short time. But maybe it was related to their not being a consistent team in the league for years. I don't remember seeing them at top positions in the past seasons except the last one. They just couldn't manage to keep their performance level at the same level.

i don't agree with you by saying that it's a big waste of funds, i think the way Mbappe plays is perfect for Real Madrid, he plays like Vinicius and he can score better than him, and Real Madrid need him because Benzima won't take long to leave or probably even retire, so by bringing Mbappe it's not just for the current time and squad, it's for the future, he's still young.

In my opinion, it would be better for Real Madrid not to bring Mbappe into the squad. As a player, he has a very large sense of self-importance, which makes him a very aggressive player. In addition, I am afraid that he will destroy the chemistry between the Real Madrid squad as a whole. It would be better for Real Madrid if they did not sign him and waited for a few more years to include Haaland in the team. On the whole, that is going to be a much better deal for Real Madrid in the long run. I

n addition to that, I always have one thing to say. A hardworking player is always perceived to be more effective than a talented player who is lazy. Haaland and Mbappe both have a lot of talent, but Haaland is a much more hard-working player than Mbappe in my opinion. It seems to me that Mbappe might be a failure just like Hazard was at Real Madrid for some reason.

8 consecutive wins from Lorient makes them strong at 2nd position on standings league and this so far their best achievement during participant on France league and for today match Lorient will meet Reims at home but they have to be careful with Reims because last week Reims can able to steal point from PSG and now i am sure they are in the positive shape because draw from PSG can boosted their mentally but Lorient clearly the favourite in this match considering their latest records and i noticed Reims defense was quite poor this season because they already conceded 19 goals from 10 matches so Lorient might be utilized this weakness to get 3 points from Reims

This is a very wonderful season for Lorient, they have played 10 matches so far in their League this seaso, they won eight of those matches drew one and lost one which is a very good stat. Then their past five matches are all wins for them, this is a very strong indication that the club will end in top 4 of the League One this season.  For the match against Reims, they will endeavour to have a win in the match. At the worse scenario will be draw. They aren't ready to lose the match for any reason.

Furthermore, we also know that when Madrid want a player they will go all out and will continue to chase that player but as long as that player does not want to be in Madrid then there is no way they will see that again.
The pursuit of Mbappe has been going on for 2 seasons and the last time they were even willing to submit a proposal of 200 million but Mbappe rejected it so there really was no reason for Madrid to keep pushing especially with some pretty big fan anger in last summer's transfer.

I personally don't really expect anything in this regard, they still haven't made a statement in this regard and we will probably wait what response Perez will give to this rumour.

So far they get a sweet result, in 10 matches they only stumbled one defeat and the other with a draw. an extraordinary achievement for them, especially in 6 matches they always calm the game in a row. a very positive trend for them, only one point adrift of the Ligue 1 leaders.

today they will play against Reims, judging by the history of H2H, Lorient have won more matches and this match they will be looking for their next win for the seventh in a row in Ligeu 1. although Reims' performance was not quite good, in last week's match they were able to hold PSG to a draw.
My estimate for this match is 2-1 for the home team to win.

Everyone loses sooner or later - even the big clubs, and it's always "unexpected" so I wouldn't be so sure if the Lorient streak would continue.
By the way, France has only three direct tickets to the Champions League and the gap from 4th place is only 4 points, so I would not be so sure about getting Lorient into the Champions League either.

mbappe's current transfer rate is unreasonable, and madrid has emphatically said it has no intentions of mbappe after 2 years of being ignored. whatever happens don't let madrid return to intending for mbappe before he changes his selfish nature because so far madrid is a very solid team.

Lorient are an unexpected team to be in 2nd place in the Ligue 1 standings, even though they have scored a few goals but with the consistency of the game they have produced, it is very natural that they are in 2nd place. lorient will face reims later, it is an important match because if they win then they will shift the top position which is currently filled by PSG.
