French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Leviathan.007]

Messi transferred from PSG to Inter Miami team and we can say that PSG actually did it to get rid of this salary burden. It may be a little sad for PSG that he transferred without a fee, but instead we can say that the fee he received from other players is enough, albeit a little.
PSG, who transferred Ebimbe to Frankfurt and Bitshiabu to Leipzig, obtained a total of 21.50 million euros in total from these players. PSG, who paid 159.50 million euros in transfer fees to the players they transferred, can say that they are currently at a loss of 138 million euros as a transfer balance sheet this season.

I do not think that anyone will blame me if I say that PSG do not do nice calculation when it comes to transfer business.
When they suddenly hijacked Messi few years ago. I thought that messi would likely spend the whole of his career in PSG and help them to win the Champions League, but with the recent happening, we all see that Messi has left PSG and likely both mbappe and Neymar will leave the club as well. I really feel this is the right time for the club to reviewe their strategy and not base on superstars show only.

You are completely right because the performance of PSG in the transfer market was never good in the previous seasons, they spend lots of money and they give many legends like Messi by paying them huge amounts of money but in the end, all PSG can get in just winning the French league while they can win the French league even with less money.

Spending alot in the transfer window, achieving lesser expectations in league games, a very important part to function for the new boss, Luis Enrique. Everything will work better in time, we just need the driving force to be able know where the club is heading next season. The parisians becomes too reluctant and comfortable winning the Ligue One every season, as if not enough competitions from other clubs in the same league. Their ultimate target is to lift the UEFA Champions League next season, but it looks like it will definitely take a long range of time before their dreams would be achieved.

Without Messi and Mbappe, PSG's attack will face some problems. Neymar is a good player but his fitness is not good. So PSG cannot rely on Neymar's performance. Luis Enrique must find alternatives to Mbappe and Messi. And it has to be done very quickly. Will Harry Kane be interested in coming to PSG? I don't think Harry Kane will come to PSG. He will want to join a better team. It is still uncertain which players Luis Enrique is looking to bring in to bolster his attack.

With the money PSG have they will be able to buy whoever they want although of course the results will not always be as expected, Harry Kane seems to be closer to Bayern Munich, Victor Osimhen can be the next striker they can look at especially this player is younger than Harry Kane so he can play longer at PSG.
If Mbappe is really going to leave Ligue 1 because Luis Enrique has experience at Laliga it is very possible that PSG will buy players from Laliga based on the advice of his new coach and he is not a striker whose name is always said to be going to PSG, because anything is possible, but as long as Mbappe is still at PSG the opportunity for this club to find another striker may be postponed unless they are looking for a second line striker because of the busy schedule they will have both domestically and in Europe.

Since Luis Enrique is the coach of PSG, I think he will give more priority to Spanish players. Because he has been with this team for a long time. And he is more familiar with the players in Spain. I guess we will see quite a few Spanish players in PSG's squad next season. But Victor Osimhen is an excellent player. He is capable of scoring a lot of goals if he is with a stable squad. PSG will surely benefit if Luis Enrique adds Victor Osimhen to the squad. Victor Osimhen can be a worthy replacement for Mbappe.

PSG always go for the trending players, instead of looking for new young talents that are anxious to play for elite teams, they throw away all of that and focus on already established big names in football, which is why they are where they are today. The president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, is only interested in the stars; he keeps making the same mistakes, which causes the club to fall behind elite clubs in more competitive tournaments such as the UEFA Champions League. The Parisians first brought in Neymar Jr, who they felt would deliver them the Champions League, but nothing worked, so they went for Leo Messi, who everyone anticipated would do even better, but that was precisely when their chances of winning became more bleak.

It seems that PSG has always been at a disadvantage and despite the fact that you have mentioned, until now they still have not been able to win the most prestigious title, namely the champions league. But on the other hand, in the Ligue 1 competition it is almost impossible for other teams to be able to break PSG's dominance in winning successive titles. I don't think PSG is a bad team, it's just that they seem to be lacking one thing that they haven't been able to solve so far the mystery. This time with Luis Enrique I hope he can find the right solution for PSG.

[Litzki1990]

in fact PSG had to face a bad period without their flagship player and indeed had to find ways to improve PSG performance without the presence of Mbappe and Messi. Neymr was physical disturbed because of the injury him had experienced, which influence Neymr performance to look good next season.
are you sure you have any thought on wishing Kane would join PSG? I do not think so. maybe you say a much better team because PSG finance are very good but its not about money but about the career and loyalty of Harry Kane who is comfortable in his current team.

the transfer window is near closing and if there is no PSG interest in replace Messi and Mbappe it will be a rough summer for Enrique.

I still think that they are going to be the best team in all of France when Mbappe leaves. They are a rich club and it would not be a problem for them to make more money neither, they are very rich so it is not really an issue for them and they will do fine.

I hope that they do not really do anything crazy, because that would not be nice for their end game, but if they end up realizing that this Mbappe deal was a wrong one, at least they learned something from that and could end up doing better. I have to say it is very terrible for them to just put the trust of the whole club into a single player, and when this type of thing happens, they are left without that. So, next time they will do a lot better in the future when rebuilding.

PSG put a lot of trust in Mbappe and as a result, PSG always gave Mbappe maximum power and opportunities without giving the other players in the team as much priority. PSG may have forgotten that to improve the performance of the team, it is not only dependent on one player, but the rest of the players must be equally dependent because if each player does not perform well in his own position, then the team will never achieve anything good. If Mbappe leaves the club, PSG will certainly have the ability to replace him, but PSG never wanted Mbappe out of the team. As a result, the highest power was given to Mbappe but still Mbappe is no longer at PSG. If Mbappe is not in PSG now, there is no point in keeping him in the team.

[bering]

PSG will starting their pre season tour today that they will fight against promotion teams which is the champion of ligue 2 Le Havre FC and this is also will became an debut match for PSG new manager Luis Enrique and about team condition some of PSG players still got injured and the latest is Neymar that he certainly will be not played because Neymar still focusing to recovered his injured and some of new players such as Lee Kang-in, Lucas Hernandez, Manuel Ugarte, Marco Asensio and Milan Skriniar also possibly will make their debut too today and regarding head to head statistics both teams has been met on 2020 at that time PSG can able to win with big scores 9-0 and i think this match too will not so different that PSG will win with 3 goals margin or more

Enrique must change PSG into the club that must spend lesser but get more expectation. So many times, PSG has been wasting so much money on unimportant transfer. enrique shall be able to build the team again with better performance from cheap players.
I think that this club shall stop to signing the new player with exorbitant price. It looks like there was no FFP in french league or what? PSG needs to stop in wasting more money to buy more players. All of psg fans were hoping enrique will make the club to be even better than before.
UCL gonna be impossible target for next season. We are not even seeing the performance from the psg's squad right now.

[CLS63]

There isn't a very long time to go for this season to start. PSG still haven't completed a centre-forward transfer. The current alternatives are said to be Vlahovic and Hojlund. Vlahovic looks like the priority. Juventus are waiting to hear from them as well to make a transfer to the same position as well. PSG have time until August 4 if I'm not wrong.

If they don't finish the transfer of Vlahovic until then Juventus don't intend to let him go anymore. Two weeks should be enough time for PSG to determine what they will do and to do it. If I were in their place I would choose Vlahovic over Hojlund. Because Hojlund is still not that impressive with his effort.

More expectation? Expectations have been above and beyond for PSG forever. The win of the Champions League was the only goal that counted something. The Ligue 1 title and the Coup de France wasn't even talked about. But how are you going to build a world class team in an inferior league? There is a reason that the Champions League winners mostly come from the top leagues. Ajax Amsterdam isn't winning it very often either. It is hard to build a team that can compete with Manchester City and Real Madrid when you are usually used to compete with Nantes and Strasbourgor even Monaco.

I understand if Harry Kane stays in Tottenham. He will have a chance to be the all-time highest goalscorer in the Premier League. But is that the actual achievement that he wants? And I am quite sure that at this point he values league titles more than personal achievements. He also understands that he is a great player who is getting older day by day. If he does not have any trophies under his name, it is going to be too late for him to get any achievement like that very quickly.

So I think he should make his move if he wants to win any trophies. Otherwise staying in Tottenham might not be that bad as Tottenham also wants him to stay.

Harry Kane has stated his intention to leave for Bayern Munich already. But it has been reported that he won't push hard for his departure if there is any problem between Bayern Munich and Tottenham on this agreement. He isn't extending his contract for sure seemingly. He has no problem with leaving the team on a free transfer also.


I don't expect PSG to lose anything from their dominance in the Ligue 1 this season. Maybe they have made a change by bringing Luis Enrique who has a quite different understanding of strategies for this team.

However PSG still have the strongest squad in the league and there is a really slight probability for them to be in trouble about winning the title. We don't witness examples like Lille did in the past years very often here. There is a huge level of consistence needed for that.

Loss Lionel Messi, Sergio Ramos and possibility with Kylian Mbappé can't stopping PSG keep dominance in Ligue 1 because they are strongest teams than other teams in Ligue 1 competition. Support with much money from Nasser Al Khelaifi its make easy for PSG how to win Ligue 1 every season by signing top player. Leaves by several star players its not big losing for PSG because they have enough money for paying transfer fees with top players.

Luis Henrique not only for helping PSG win Ligue 1 but also how the achievement for PSG in UEFA Champion League, never winning yet this motivate and reason from PSG management why sign Luis Henrique trough has experienced after success winning UCL tittle with Barcelona last several season.

-snip-

However, Harry Kane's departure to Bayern Munich is still unclear and is still being discussed and rumors currently circulating.
Maybe later there will be a bit of a problem between Tottenham and Bayern Munich regarding Harry Kane's move, but what is clear is that when the transfer status is free, Tottenham has no right to prohibit Kane from leaving.
Harry Kane's move to Bayern Munich might make his name stand out again because Bayern Munich is also one of the strongest clubs in the Bundesliga.

[Leviathan.007]

I don't know if that's right or not but according to some news there is madness in PSG and they want to keep Mbappe in the team in any situation we are talking about 1000m for Mbappe which is a lot, I think if the news is correct they really pay this huge amount of money other players are right to be unhappy because of this unbalanced situation in PSG.

yes I admit that but here the problem is finding a replacement for a player like Mbappe is very difficult even though PSG has a lot of money but star player who have the same performance as Mbappe there are only a few like Harry Kane and Haaland but these two best players are difficult to get because these star player are retained by their respective teams but it's a little ridiculous when PSG have to let Mbappe leave this team.
I also admit PSG mistake of relying too much on one player which caused big problems for other player which is currently still a matter of debate because Mbappe has to argue with other player.
there is no other choice but to let go of this star player because it is for good and PSG still has Neymar.

I'm not sure how Enrique can change this system in PSG in which they spend a lot of money in wach transfer window but I know Enrique is a wise coach and he knows how to make some not expensive players to earn great achievements for him. If they give him more tools he can do better in PSG.

It is not easy to adapt quickly for Enrique to manage the existing PSG system and squad, moreover of course there will be a change in strategy from the previous strategy, the players will certainly adjust the strategy given by Enrique which will obviously take time to process the adaptation on the field, I think PSG really made changes and reshuffles to the main squad.

But for the UCL I'm sure PSG is still not really seen as the strongest club to be able to reach the final point, but for the domestic league it won't be difficult for PSG to win it especially since there aren't too many clubs that can compete with them in the domestic league. I think PSG need some other new players to make it look better than last season.m n

Luis Enrique is quite an experienced manager so his taking charge of PSC is definitely positive for the team but PSG should have made this transfer earlier when they had all kinds of players in the team. Maybe PSG is a little late in bringing Luis Enrique to the team because Lionel Messi and some other players left the team before Luis Enrique joined PSG. If Luis Enrique had been appointed earlier, the former Barcelona manager could have assembled a beautiful team with Neymar and Lionel Messi. After Lionel Messi left, Mbappe will leave the club and it will be very difficult to organize Luis Enrique's team. Still, if he is given the opportunity to transfer at will, he can take this team to a good state.

Looking forward to seeing how they play, I understand that it's only a pre-season game, but when a lot of the new players and stars are no longer together, it's going to be a different mix that Enrique will use. Maybe this match won't be the full measure of their performance, but my point is the same as yours with some of the names that are on the roster for the start of next season's competition.
The opponents they will face are far from the strength they have, but considering this is a pre-season match, surely trying all the names they have should be able to be seen in this match.

One thing I want to see from them, namely from young players who can stand out in this team, because I don't see any young players who can stand out because they are dominated by experienced players and also have big names. Hopefully Enrique can give a place to their young players, not necessarily regularly but the time that will increase their flying hours will also be very good.

They're talking about 1 billion euros for a 10 year contract. If this contract is real, Mbappe will be the most expensive athlete ever. To be honest, I don't think it's a good thing if this offer is real, it creates a great unrest in the team. Mbappe is a good football player, but we know that he is not on good terms with the other players in the team, and when he earns 100 million euros a year, they can break down even more. Even now he has a pretty high salary and I don't know how logical it would be to accept a 10 year contract

But I would like to add one thing here if PSG let go of Kylian Mbappe then the team will be in great danger. Because Kylian Mbappe is an incredibly fast forward. I think he is an ideal striker for PSG team. If Mbappe leaves the team, PSG's attack will be very weak at the moment.
