French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[wmaurik]

depending on the injury, if its not too bad I think everything will be fine. I know Dembele is a quality player and even though he has this injury he always tries to do well in every game.
but I just want to know if its true that Dembele will go to PSG? because I dont know any confirmation from PSG or Dembele or this is just a rumour. because it is possible that Barcelona will extend the contract with Dembele because seeing that he is 26 years old, he is still very young and Barcelona must also think a little before letting him go.

It would also be surprising if Barcelona wanted to let go of Dembele for PSG at that age, because on the one hand Barcelona itself is struggling to get better next season by building a more solid squad so they can compete again with the top teams in the Champions League. But if Dembele is managed by PSG, I think PSG next season will also be quite good because there are several other good players that PSG have acquired through the transfer market this season.

Dembele has been after they money all the time in his career and honestly I don't think he is such a great loss for Xavi and Barcelona. When he was without injuries and was able to show his best performances, he was definitely a great player, but there have been too many ups and downs with him. He scored 24 goals in 6 years, which makes 4 goals per season as an offensive wing player. It's ok if they don't score 20 goals per season, but 4 goals as a player in his position is not enough. He never justified the transfer fee Barcelona paid for him and I believe he was also one of the best paid players. PSG is the right club for him, it is all about the money.

[asriloni]

They've made a good start, but they shouldn't be satisfied with the wins they've had in pre-season matches, because the real challenge hasn't started at all, and there's still time for them to evaluate their play in pre-season matches. More than a week is left now, and in that time it should be enough for them to fix anything that's missing from their overall game.

PSG will have a new striker to come very soon. Goncalo ramos will be strengthening the attacking line of PSG. The club has been facing some horrible results and i don't even think 1 week was enough to solve any problems in the club. PSG's performance is very worst compared with last season. The fact that if enrique was not able changing the club in a short time. Enrique has been facing same situation as chelsea but it seems like that enrique faces difficulty in adapting with the new players.

Next season will be much more competitive, especially in the Champions League, why I say Champions League, because their main goal is there.

While it is hopeful, it is unlikely to happen as PSG was not even remotely competitive when Messi was still playing there. With Messi leaving, PSG's performance may be affected and change drastically.
Being able to go to the play off can be considered as a great achievement by PSG in UCL next season. Im not so optimistic with PSG right now. I remind you that PSG is gonna play without mbappe. The club can only count on neymar.

If it is all about money then clearly, Barcelona is not the right place for Dembele. Because anyway, instead of getting a big salary but in reality, Dembele also seems to get a salary reduction at Barcelona because Barcelona finances are very bad. So yes, with his young age and Dembele having good quality, it will certainly be the right step if Dembele decides to leave. After all, it seems that it is not Barcelona who wants to sell Dembele, but in fact PSG seems who has an interest in bringing Dembele.

[zuzie]

Dembele is going to fill Messi's void at PSG as it seems. This transfer is happening all of a sudden really. I didn't even know whether there was a release clause of Dembele worth 50 million euros until last Monday until PSG made an offer for him. I don't see any update so I hope PSG managed to benefit from that.

Dembele has a really great skillset. If he doesn't have problem any adaptation problem here which I don't expect at all he should be making a significant level of contribution. Mbappe is also likely to stay this season. But I don't know about Neymar's future. If he stays I won't be surprised in case he gets a lasting injury again.

Apart from that I highlight the worth of the 50 million euros that Paris Saint Germain has spent, does it really work? This is based on what Dembele has gone through with Barcelona, he has shown no progress in the last two seasons with Barca. I honestly doubt Dembele's performance, but it would be fairer to see his debut first.
It looks like Luis Enrique will need to prepare alternative options if Dembele did not perform as expected

[rendravolt]

PSG closed their pre-season game with a convincing 3-0 win against Jeonbuk. Statistically PSG dominates with 8 shots on target and 57% ball possession. In this match, Neymar scored a brace and Asensio was always amazing with his hard drive from outside the penalty area to cover the winning goal. This is a very important victory after they have struggled in the last few matches and Luis Enrique certainly evaluates the performance of his players a lot before the game starts. The opening match of Ligue 1 will take place in 10 days and this is the PSG vs Lorient match, I'm still quite curious whether PSG can win the opening game later or will find it difficult to do so with the inconsistency they get.

PSG has through 5 matches during pre season and they got 2 wins from Le Havre and the latest is from Joenbuk and this is not impressive records if we see from their status as defending champion of France league but indeed this cannot be used as the reference to their performance next season because i am sure Luis Enrique will immediately evaluate these results however today against Joenbuk there are interesting things about the starting lineup of PSG that Enrique was played Neymar since the beginning of match and this make PSG was playing more effective and more better compared to their performance on the previous matches and Neymar as man of the match because scores 2 goals

I think if there is no transition of players and a new PSG coach maybe they can win all the matches. But indeed this result is also not entirely good, but at least it can increase the enthusiasm of all players to be able to work even harder. After recovering from injury, maybe Enrique was a little worried about putting Neymar in from the early minutes, but if you see Neymar starting this game, it's likely that Enrique is very sure to return to playing him from the start. Apart from that I don't think there is anything more to add, it's just a matter of how the adaptation and transition goes smoothly for the upcoming Ligue 1 competition.

While all these could be rumour cycling in the social media and other medias, but if there is a party that is pushing for the business of Dembele between Barcelona and PSG, I know that it should be PSG. That club is not settled as of now because they are not even sure that Mbappe will be with them for next season and Neymar can go anytime. So, they need a good player to hold the frontline for them. In the other hand, I believe that Barcelona will tend to sell off their old players because of their salary structure and sign new players with a lesser salary structure for financial stability on the long run.

If it is true then Neymar was already offered to Barcelona as part of the Dembele transfer and PSG wanted to get rid of Neymar and offered him as a loan player to Barcelona, but they did not want Neymar. This is again proof that the best times for Neymar are over as well. Some years ago every club would have happily accepted to get Neymar on the team, but not anymore since there are too many issues with him and he has been too expensive for so many years. He never really was worth the salary he received.

[temple]

If it is all about money then clearly, Barcelona is not the right place for Dembele. Because anyway, instead of getting a big salary but in reality, Dembele also seems to get a salary reduction at Barcelona because Barcelona finances are very bad. So yes, with his young age and Dembele having good quality, it will certainly be the right step if Dembele decides to leave. After all, it seems that it is not Barcelona who wants to sell Dembele, but in fact PSG seems who has an interest in bringing Dembele.

But what are we talking about here? He was making 20,000,000 euros gross per year and I believe he accepted a reduction of 10% or something like that?

The point is that no matter who the player is, since there is so much money involved every player is willing to give up on their career and the titles they have been dreaming of as children. Dembele is a French guy so ok he could argue that he feels home in Paris and that is why he decided to leave Barcelona, but the truth is that it is also about the money. Neymar was the same back then when he left the club that he has been dreaming to play for for a very long time and then PSG came and he said bye bye.

I hope that the Mbappe decision will soon be announced. He Mbappe at least decided against playing for Al-Hilal and I thought he will do it for the money.

[rahmad2nd]

It would also be surprising if Barcelona wanted to let go of Dembele for PSG at that age, because on the one hand Barcelona itself is struggling to get better next season by building a more solid squad so they can compete again with the top teams in the Champions League. But if Dembele is managed by PSG, I think PSG next season will also be quite good because there are several other good players that PSG have acquired through the transfer market this season.

With some of the statements made by Barcelona and Xavi, I would not be surprised if in the end they will let Dembele go. now Dembele has reached an oral agreement with PSG, with a contract duration of 5 years if I'm not mistaken. well, now it's just a matter of price agreement between PSG and Barcelona. However, I still believe that Dembele will join PSG in this summer's transfer window. apart from that, PSG is getting closer to an agreement with Goncalo Ramos, as quoted from Romano. he also said, that this weekend can be completed.

With these two newcomers, Enrique has the ideal choice. moreover, Dembele fits into the system implemented by the PSG coach. Likewise with Goncalo Ramos, even though he is still young, he is a striker with quite a lot of potential. plus, added with Neymar who became the right wing. the point is, PSG still has players who are full of skills on the front lines. it's just that Enrique still has a demand for the players he wants, he needs an established midfielder and Bernardo silva is their main target. theoretically, this team will be quite solid even without Mbappe. but don't expect more, PSG can immediately compete strictly in the Champions League competition.
in essence, Enrique will first build the foundation and system that he implements. thus, gradually PSG will become a very solid team. and they should, they did this a long time ago.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Mbappé already said no to the Arab team, will he regret it one day? I don't know, but it would make me laugh if he rejected him because of the hope he has with Madrid in the other season, if Madrid says no, I don't even want to imagine what the player will do, the position he is in is sad The player could have if that happens, because I say something, opportunities only present themselves once in a lifetime, and that's why you shouldn't waste them, if you let the train pass right now, when you want to catch it, you won't have a chance.

Mbvappé is a very good player, but I certainly don't like the attitudes he has taken , he thinks it's very important, and it's not the idea , a player has to be humble enough to be much more valued.

I think he will regret his attitude in the future because at this moment he is so selfish and ignores the good attitude of the psg team. Even though Mbappe name has soared with PSG in several seasons but there is no thanks from him if we look at his attitude. Al Hilal offer was officially rejected by Mbappe because he did not want to join Al Hilal. Apart from that he only wants Real Madrid for his next career.

Seeing the increasingly complicated transfer situation, it seems that it will be quite difficult for PSG to sell Mbappe to another team in this transfer window apart from Real Madrid. But there has not been a meeting of the Real Madrid delegation to meet with PSG to discuss the transfer of Mbappe. So if Real Madrid chooses to remain silent in this transfer window, it means that Mbappe fate will be tossed around in this transfer window.

Most times it isn't always about the money. A young player like Mbappe wants to win trophies and mingle with the best of his time, not to go bond with Arab players who need the experience of age to advance football in the country.
Mbappe would eventually go where he wants to go and I don't think he would regret turning down the $700m deal because he earns as good, got the attention and press representation and he's young.

Yes, what is remarkably seen here is that the player wants to stand out in any way, for this he must always have a better option to be able to have more vision, be more famous, that is something that is not denied to him, for this reason I think that player only wants to go to Real Madrid, only now Madrid is not so interested in him, because they have and are looking for other players who have a better vision than him, the player is already 24 years old, and they like Madrid younger and with more vision and that they have a future protector, I don't know what Mbappé is looking for, he has won many tournaments, he wants to do many things, but the gfúbto9l is increasingly difficult, now they have many good players who they compete with him.

PSG closed their pre-season game with a convincing 3-0 win against Jeonbuk. Statistically PSG dominates with 8 shots on target and 57% ball possession. In this match, Neymar scored a brace and Asensio was always amazing with his hard drive from outside the penalty area to cover the winning goal.

Apart from that I don't think there is anything more to add, it's just a matter of how the adaptation and transition goes smoothly for the upcoming Ligue 1 competition.

Well, you have to remember something, the pre-season matches are just that, preparation, to see how the teams are doing, what changes are good or bad for the team, if things can go well or badly, I have always thought that in any game They must take advantage of Neymar's performance, I would never take out seven players unless they feel bad or are injured, Neymar is a first-rate player, they cannot leave him on the bench, they must take advantage of him, he is a star at any moment, he cannot define a game, I think Luis Enrigque knows that, plus he has to use it because he doesn't have any more material, Mbappé is ruled out, so things are like that now.

Now, if things improve for PSG and with all the player transfers they have been able to make, they can get the perfect replacement for an Mbappé who doesn't want anything with PSG.

Luís Campos future at Paris Saint-Germain in doubt following Kylian Mbappé saga

Having been brought in last summer to replace Leonardo and to bring in a new approach to recruitment at Paris Saint-Germain, the club’s sporting advisor Luis Campos could already be packing his bags.

According to L’Équipe, the latest twist in the Kylian Mbappé saga has weakened the Portuguese director’s position at the club. He was amongst those who did not want to leave him out of the PSG squad that travelled to Japan for pre-season, a tactic used to pressure the French attacker into to make up his mind about his future – and that put Campos in a sticky situation.

Instead of being on the forefront of this issue, which his position at the club requires him to be, he has been in the shadows, and not very vocal, unlike his president Nasser Al Khelaifi. He had even told the latter to calm down, show a little bit of pragmatism, rather than frustration with the Frenchman.

The club seem somewhat willing protect the sporting advisor, as they do not want to add to the current issues they are facing, leaving Campos do his work in the background. The recruitment campaign he has led this summer has seen the arrivals of Marco Asensio, Manuel Ugarte, Milan Škriniar, Cher Ndour and Kang-In Lee.

His influence has, however, been reduced. The arrivals of Lucas Hernandéz and Xavi Simons, as well as probable future transfer for Ousmane Dembélé have seemingly been operated by the Qatari president of the club. Meanwhile, Campos is focusing on deals for Bradley Barcola and Gonçalo Ramos.

It seems that Mbappé's effect has made a lot of noise to the players who are on the team with him, it's something very curious, because Mbappé has a lot of influence over his teammates, of course he doesn't have enough influence over Neymar, from what I see Ney He can take advantage of this situation to shoulder the team as he does in Brazil, which is not bad, he has the support of Luis Enrique (who is quite complicated) so he should take advantage of that plus he has now.

Every team needs an indisputable leader to inject that energy, that positivism, PSG is doing everything possible to stay afloat. However, I think that something else aftls to them.

[emrecemsan]

The only problem with Dembele is his being quite injury-prone player just as Neymar. Having two such players in the squad is a quite big risk for PSG but it isn't like there is no alternative to Dembele here now of course.

For example Dembele missed 17 matches last season:



When it comes to Dembele's skills he is a really special player. In the time period he keeps himself away from injuries he can contribute highly to the team. Now with Goncalo Ramos' arrival I wonder what kind of an attacking trio Luis Enrique will use mostly. Maybe Mbappe would be on the left wing with Ramos' being centre-forward and one of Dembele - Neymar duo to be on the right wing.

[Slow death]

but I just want to know if its true that Dembele will go to PSG? because I dont know any confirmation from PSG or Dembele or this is just a rumour. because it is possible that Barcelona will extend the contract with Dembele because seeing that he is 26 years old, he is still very young and Barcelona must also think a little before letting him go.

yes it is true and now the agreement has been closed, you can see it here:

Ousmane Dembélé to Paris Saint-Germain on €50m deal from Barça

source: https://www.instagram.com/p/CvfI3AiID_l/


Now I also saw that PSG is looking to buy the Benfica player, Gonçalo Ramos, you can also see that here:

Paris Saint-Germain are closing in on €80m deal for Gonçalo Ramos!

source: https://www.instagram.com/p/CvdfhjWojRc/

if PSG manages to buy Gonçalo Ramos then we will see a strong team even if they don't have mbappe, without a doubt that this coach is making good signings, before I criticized psg for not making good signings, or not signing good players, but now i see a different posture on their part, because mbappe didn't accept the offer from the arabs and didn't accept extending the contract with psg, with that now psg is forced to think about creating conditions that allow the team to get good results results even if they don't have mbappe in the team, but that's something psg should have thought about years ago

they became so dependent on mbappe that they forgot that mbappe and messi are not the only good players in the world, they spent a lot of money on unnecessary signings, but I hope that from now on the team management will stop acting ungrateful and greedy and let mbappe play in the team while he waits to finish his contract, it would be an idiotic attitude of the management to pay a salary to a player who will be on the bench while he is in good health, honestly it is something absurd to do such a thing, I hope we do not see something like that. we will see the first league games how psg will do, I saw that neymar is back in the team and managed to score a goal

[Doell]

Dembele is going to fill Messi's void at PSG as it seems. This transfer is happening all of a sudden really. I didn't even know whether there was a release clause of Dembele worth 50 million euros until last Monday until PSG made an offer for him. I don't see any update so I hope PSG managed to benefit from that.

Dembele has a really great skillset. If he doesn't have problem any adaptation problem here which I don't expect at all he should be making a significant level of contribution. Mbappe is also likely to stay this season. But I don't know about Neymar's future. If he stays I won't be surprised in case he gets a lasting injury again.

That's a great striker yeah but Dembele is often injury at Barcelona, I hope at PSG he is always healthy to strengthen PSG attack line, because if he gets injured maybe his fate will be the same as Neymar. But as a player who is still relatively young, I personally quite sure he will have no difficulty for adapting quickly at PSG.

depending on the injury, if its not too bad I think everything will be fine. I know Dembele is a quality player and even though he has this injury he always tries to do well in every game.
but I just want to know if its true that Dembele will go to PSG? because I dont know any confirmation from PSG or Dembele or this is just a rumour. because it is possible that Barcelona will extend the contract with Dembele because seeing that he is 26 years old, he is still very young and Barcelona must also think a little before letting him go.

Hopefully at PSG he doesn't get injured often, because minor injuries will also affect the player's performance anyway.
Seems like that rumours are true Sir I see news from Fabrizio Romano and Viva Barca, if it's not true maybe they won't make a post like that, but let's wait for official news from PSG. Yes I also didn't expect it, Sir. Dembele should have extended his contract at Barcelona, but that player might be tempted by PSG offer.

[ShowOff]

It would also be surprising if Barcelona wanted to let go of Dembele for PSG at that age, because on the one hand Barcelona itself is struggling to get better next season by building a more solid squad so they can compete again with the top teams in the Champions League. But if Dembele is managed by PSG, I think PSG next season will also be quite good because there are several other good players that PSG have acquired through the transfer market this season.

Dembele has stated to Barcelona that he wants to go and play for PSG next season. Of course the news is very upsetting to hear, but Barcelona can't stop it even though Xavi has really taken good care of him over the past two seasons. Dembele has personal reasons for planning a move to PSG, but I think it's because of financial problems for Barcelona, ​​who currently expect many of their players to accept low wages.

I don't see this as something of a surprise, but of course Barcelona will deeply regret Dembele leaving for PSG. But in the end Barcelona can take advantage of this situation to get another player they want, that's for sure because PSG will pay Dembele's value to Barcelona as expected.

[Leviathan.007]

The biggest happy news is that Neymar Jr. was able to score two goals in the first match after returning from a long injury. Hopefully this achievement will give him great confidence in himself. And I personally want this player to complete the season with a great performance.

He had a good comeback after the recent drama that happened to him and he lost the last season, also many fans were unhappy and complaining about his performance in PSG, now even without Messi and Mbappe, Neymar could have good performance and he scored two goals while according to some news we saw in the past day, PSG wanted to give Neymar for Barcelona for the loan, they wanted to hire Dembele and had to pay 50m for it and instead of paying this money, they wanted to give Neymar for the loan.  

[el kaka22]

Mbappe and PSG might be having a fight right now and I understand that but that doesn't change the fact that as long as he doesn't want to leave, nobody can force him to leave. You can literally bench him and just make him regret for not leaving, but that still doesn't mean that he is going to leave.

In football contracts, you can't force anyone to leave and that is why I think it's quite important to realize that you are going to be forced to keep the same team as much as you possibly could. That will make it easier and better for everyone over long period of time so you can just play him for one more season instead of benching him, and then you are going to end up with him leaving anyway, just like you wanted him to.

I honestly doubt Dembele's performance, but it would be fairer to see his debut first.
It looks like Luis Enrique will need to prepare alternative options if Dembele did not perform as expected

€50m is not a big deal for Paris SG because we know that this club has very good finances and it doesn't matter how much you have to spend, the most important thing is that the target players can be found.
Here a lot of people say or doubt Dembele's performance just because of his injury but for me it's not a problem because the injury has a certain time to heal completely and even though at Barca Dembele doesn't have a good performance but we don't know what will happen and usually Players will be more talented when they meet the right coach.
Another thing that you don't need to worry about is when Paris SG starts buying players at high prices, I am sure that these players are considered to have good talent by Paris SG so they have the courage to bid at high prices.

Apart from that I highlight the worth of the 50 million euros that Paris Saint Germain has spent, does it really work? This is based on what Dembele has gone through with Barcelona, he has shown no progress in the last two seasons with Barca. I honestly doubt Dembele's performance, but it would be fairer to see his debut first.
It looks like Luis Enrique will need to prepare alternative options if Dembele did not perform as expected

€50m is not a big deal for Paris SG because we know that this club has very good finances and it doesn't matter how much you have to spend, the most important thing is that the target players can be found.
Here a lot of people say or doubt Dembele's performance just because of his injury but for me it's not a problem because the injury has a certain time to heal completely and even though at Barca Dembele doesn't have a good performance but we don't know what will happen and usually Players will be more talented when they meet the right coach.
Another thing that you don't need to worry about is when Paris SG starts buying players at high prices, I am sure that these players are considered to have good talent by Paris SG so they have the courage to bid at high prices.

Dembele couldn't do what he wanted in Barcelona. Some simple mistakes have angered fans many times. Some players may not be able to adapt to certain teams. I don't know why, but I think Dembele will do well at PSG. His speed and dribbling ability can make him useful in PSG.

I had not read any news about this transfer before. PSG quickly transferred Dembele. I think this is a transfer success. If they had previously said they were interested in Dembele and another club had been interested in Dembele, this transfer would have been more costly.

PSG closed their pre-season game with a convincing 3-0 win against Jeonbuk. Statistically PSG dominates with 8 shots on target and 57% ball possession. In this match, Neymar scored a brace and Asensio was always amazing with his hard drive from outside the penalty area to cover the winning goal. This is a very important victory after they have struggled in the last few matches and Luis Enrique certainly evaluates the performance of his players a lot before the game starts. The opening match of Ligue 1 will take place in 10 days and this is the PSG vs Lorient match, I'm still quite curious whether PSG can win the opening game later or will find it difficult to do so with the inconsistency they get.

Finally, PSG won a friendly game and this time they were playing against Jeonbuk, however, this South Korean team was not strong enough to stand against PSG and the superstars they have but still maybe the good thing about this game was PSg finally showing good performance with Neymar, even if they didn't have Mbappe and Messi but for this game Neymar was enough to win this game and he scored one goal. Maybe Neymar is going to have a good return in the next season after the last season he lost.
