French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

Nice have again expanded their connections to add strength in midfield and this time they got Tanguy Ndombélé for free from Spurs. Tanguy Ndombélé spent last season at Galatassaray after the Turkish side signed him on loan. When he returned to Spurs, he was no longer included in the plans, so he did not get a contract extension and was free to join any club.

Actually, I still remember Tanguy Ndombélé's performance a few seasons ago and he was still good enough so this was the right transfer for Nice to take. He also has quite a lot of experience with European teams and this is the arrival of Tanguy Ndombélé back to Ligue One after last playing for Lyon in 2018.

Ndombele could have been a much better player but I believe he wasted his career by himself.    He couldn't find proper chances in his last times at Tottenham and after that he just started to be loaned to other teams every season. He put on a lot of weight when he joined Galatasaray as well and he couldn't be much of a use.

Now he has joined Nice for free and I don't think Tottenham cares about losing him like that. But I still hope he regains his form in every way to pull himself together. He is normally a decent midfielder but just careless at the same time.

Tanguy finally returned to the league that once made a name for himself in football, he had spent a lot of time with Lyon before and became the player with the most expensive purchase by Tottenham in 2019, but bought at a high price but Tanguy is very difficult to adapt to the English league game and makes Tottenham continue to loan him to many different teams so far,  After a long journey in various teams on loan he was finally terminated by Tottenham and now joins Nice to continue his career, Nice managed to get him for free and I think Nice was lucky enough to get him even though he failed with Tottenham so far but he was very good when he was in Ligue 1 previously.

Nice of course needs several new players for them to recruit this season in order to be able to compete next season, especially now that Khephren Thuram who has been Nice mainstay in the midfield is starting to get closer to Juventus, so by bringing in Tanguy of course they can make him the right replacement to maintain a solid midfield next season.

Currently PSG is not a suitable team for talented young players like Lamine Yamal or Osimhen if they want to achieve a brilliant career. PSG are one of the top teams in Europe but they are almost never one of the favorites to win the UCL. They dominate Ligue 1 and almost every year qualify for the UCL. But Ligue 1 is not a league with high intensity and strong teams. A team with a very large cash capacity like PSG can bring in any player they want. But not all players need money, especially if they are young players. I think it would be wiser for young players to choose career over money.

If Osimhen were so in demand, then some team would have bought him long ago, but he continues to play in Napoli, and all his possible transfers end only in rumors. Sooner or later PSG will win the Champions League, and Ligue 1 remains one of the top leagues that provides many opportunities for the player. Mbappe, by the way, came to PSG from Monaco, and now he is a Real Madrid player, in my opinion this is a very good career development, and it didn’t hurt that he started in Ligue 1.

[Lidger]

In the last two seasons we have seen PSG only selling players from their club and releasing many players on free but in contrast they have not made any significant transfers.  Signing new players with their clubs has become very important this season. Of course, they need to recruit more important players to their club who will contribute well for PSG. At the moment, PSG does not have any good forwards, besides, they do not have any good quality midfielders in their club, and if they want to catch them, they must think about these three positions. Recruiting only three players in three positions will not solve all problems, but PSG will definitely need reserve players. Since they need so many players at the club, I don't see them arguing with any new players. The transfer window has only been open for a while but they could have signed a quality player if they had targeted a player earlier. Now they have to complete all the agreements within the time that is left

Paris Saint Germain don't want to get out of their comfort zone when they think they already have the players they need, even though that is the wrong logic they are thinking, because after all they have to think about the future and what they will do to make themselves better in the future. front. As a team, one thing they have to think about is how to keep them solid for a long time and also that it must be sustainable. To achieve that, a team must prepare the next generation at least every 2 or 3 seasons, assuming the current players can last 2 to 3 seasons.

However, Paris Saint Germain doesn't do that, they prefer to pamper players who are considered stars and in the end they also have to feel all the difficulties they are currently experiencing. Maybe now they are a little confused because many players have left and the coach is a victim of what they did, because the coach has to think harder to bring the team to a stable condition.

If PSG think they still have good players at their club and with this player they will win the France league title next season as well as reach the semi-finals of the Champions League again then I would say they are daydreaming. 

Mbappe alone made up 40% of the team and he left PSG for Real Madrid this season so if a quality player can't be recruited to replace him then the situation will worsen. I don't understand why Luis Enrique is in charge of PSG why he is not taking any steps to improve the performance of this club. I've seen other managers who have come to PSG and spent a lot of money on players so why aren't they spending money in the transfer market now that they have a quality manager at their club. 

With the state of their local league, they might win the local league but this team is never going to do well in the Champions League.

If they go to a better team, they won't necessarily be able to get regular time, I don't think so, in fact PSG is a team that is quite worth choosing because PSG is a team that is developing quite rapidly and also in the UCL they are really taken into account, regardless of those who haven't yet. having won the UCL, I think it's all about timing.
And players like Lamine Yamal or Osimhen are not players who have developed rapidly, they also need time to process, and more precisely they have to choose a team that makes them the main players so that their careers can continue to develop.

Young players like the ones you mentioned wouldn't be wrong if they wanted to have a career at PSG as long as they have the opportunity to play more and can also be seen more often in two different competitions. Because PSG itself is a team that often enters the Champions League, so young players who have special talents can also be more highlighted by the media and can also be more sought after by other teams at the end of the season. However, what is very unfortunate is that their own time can be wasted while they are at a team like PSG when they could have the opportunity to win the UCL trophy through another team.

I am happier when I see players who can be in a more competitive league, I mean a league that is more regular and plays every week. In Ligue 1, in my opinion, there is no more competitive competition, especially at Paris Saint Germain they seem to be guaranteed that they will at least get one title there. So when competition is like that (not competitive) it will also affect them. Because maybe they will feel comfortable and in the end be lulled by what they get.

However, I wouldn't say that that's a wrong thing, because the competition is there, but it's not that tough. The advantage is that they will be able to play more regularly and that can increase their flying hours. On the other hand, when they definitely get regular playing time, then that also means there is no competition between players, in my opinion that is also not good in a team. The reason is that there must be competition so that players can show their best game.

But not all players need money, especially if they are young players. I think it would be wiser for young players to choose career over money.

There is still plenty of time for young players to think about money matters if they are not planning to retire early so it would be much more appropriate for those who are still young to think more about their career in a more competitive team even if it is not at PSG. Because if you want to hope for the UCL trophy, of course PSG is not the right choice at this time even though we all don't know what condition PSG will be in next season when they return to the UCL competition. But still, young players should be able to pursue their careers in teams that have the potential to win the UCL, not in teams that always fail to get the UCL.

Are you kidding me? PSG is a "developing team"? More like a black hole in development for ambition and talent. Yes, they have money to burn; but, when has that ever translated into Champions League glory? Stand up and scent the Qatari oil, folks! Lamine Yamal and Osimhen could be generational gifts. Why would they waste their prime years in a club thats more interested in buying trophies than earning them? Playing time at PSG? Please. PSG's only development is their standing as the top European football bottler.

After hearing about many superstar players joining the Saudi League, now it seems Saudis want to hire a player from PSG.
Marquinhos is the captain of PSG even during the time when they had many superstar players but he was not a famous player for PSG at all and even sometimes the fans wanted him to leave and now it seems he got an offer from Al Ittihad to play for this team in the next season.
Even PSG confirmed the offer they got from this Saudi team.

[Hanadawa]

Sooner or later PSG will win the Champions League, and Ligue 1 remains one of the top leagues that provides many opportunities for the player. Mbappe, by the way, came to PSG from Monaco, and now he is a Real Madrid player, in my opinion this is a very good career development, and it didn’t hurt that he started in Ligue 1.

As far as I know, last season Osimhen had a very large transfer market value which made many clubs unable to get him. Napoli also won't let other clubs get it easily. Because of that, they set a high price clause for Osimhen. This season Napoli's performance has been very bad. Osimhen managed to score 15 goals and was among the top scorers but was unable to provide a good performance for Napoli.

I think if given the choice in my opinion PSG is better than Napoli. They can almost always win the league so they will always be able to play in the UCL almost every season. But the problem is that currently PSG is not a good choice if you want to have a career. They are a good team but Ligue 1 is not as competitive as some of Europe's other top leagues.

Mbappe, by the way, came to PSG from Monaco, and now he is a Real Madrid player, in my opinion this is a very good career development, and it didn’t hurt that he started in Ligue 1.

Osimhen previously played for Lille before Napoli bought him for 60 million euros after he performed quite impressively during his season at Lille,  so It's surprising that Osimhen market value has also increased rapidly at this time, of course, Osimhen attracted the attention of many big clubs when he was able to help Napoli win the Scudetto last season, but at that time, along with a new contract extension, Napoli fenced him off with a fairly high release clause and making many teams choose to withdraw from recruiting him, previously PSG was reportedly very interested in bringing in Osimhen as a replacement for Mbappe but for some reason now it seems like PSG is not doing anything to realize their current interest.

The decline in Osimhen performance occurred while he was injured when helping Nigeria in the African Cup last season, but even so when he recovered and return to the team towards the middle of this season he was actually able to make Napoli improve again, In my opinion, Osimhen has made a big contribution to the team that has him, so PSG should be able to consider him as an alternative to become their main striker next season, PSG has a guarantee of qualifying for the UCL every season because they have dominated Ligue 1 so far and of course that is could be a step for Osimhen to become a main star in Ligue 1 , so this will enable him to become a target for other big teams in the future like just like Mbappe is currently.

England qjs always been osimhens dream, he wishes to play in an English team and as a matter of been particular, Chelsea has been his most preferred choice according to his statement long ago on the media, Jim not moving to nay other team yet is probably because he knows how crucial his next move will affect his career considering how popular he has become and so if he gets offer from any random teams away from his choiced leagues, he may most likely turn them down, currently if he gets an offer from Chelsea he would most likely accept that more than he would with PSG. Winning the champion's league no doubtts is possible at PSH but I don't think it still makes it an opportunistic team for players looking to advance career, appearing in the champions league consistently is their most obvious advantage and that is because the Ligue is yet to be so competitive to the point PSG will have to battle qualifications.

If Osimhen's target is a domestic title, then Paris Saint Germain could be an option for him because it is almost certain that they will be able to get the Ligue 1 title. However, I agree that if he cares more about his career, then I think it would be better for him to look for a better team again in competition. It's true, almost every season Paris Saint Germain can be in the Champions League, but every season they also experience repeated failures. they are not that great compared to other teams in the Champions League.
That depends on Napoli too, because if the price they set is high then chances are that only Paris Siant Germain will be willing to spend the money to bring him. The reason is that with the high price, other teams are thinking twice about getting his signature. Last season there were also many teams interested, but they couldn't afford what Napoli wanted in terms of price.

Osimhen was an option for PSG even in the last season. I think Osimhen could have even better performance in the last season when he was in the better form but now PSG knows they can't expect to see a miracle from this player but he can have a good performance like two years ago and he can be out of the good form like last season. I think there can be better options for PSG than Osimhen and they should not be worried and run for finding a replacement for Mbappe because Osimhen and Mbappe are not at the same level at all.

Though not the Premier League, PSG is strong in Ligue 1. Yeah, they steamroll the competition in France, but that's not a bad thing for Osimhen. That kind of persistent winning mentality can boost a player's game, especially in the Champions League

They know he scores goals, so Napoli can charge whatever they want. That's pennies for PSG. Osimhen is the striker they need to score regularly in Europe. They've struggled in the Champions League, but this person could make the difference

Not just trophies, but legacy. Osimhen has the potential to become a legend at PSG, and that's something you can't put a price tag on

Even PSG confirmed the offer they got from this Saudi team.

During his career he grew up at PSG and everyone knows him thanks to his expertise in leading this team for many years. But unfortunately his age continues to increase and in fact his performance is still good enough to be at PSG. However, no one knows the future and sometimes it comes faster than expected if in the end he chooses to leave PSG.

An offer from a Saudi pro league team will certainly be difficult to refuse, especially since Marquinhos is so full of titles and experience from his time at PSG that even if he leaves, the club won't be able to hold him back any longer. The rest is that PSG must be prepared to look for other alternative players to fill the central defender position that he will leave and I think if Al-Ittihad are interested in signing him then they must quickly provide a proposal.

But the problem is that currently PSG is not a good choice if you want to have a career. They are a good team but Ligue 1 is not as competitive as some of Europe's other top leagues.

Well I don't really know if PSG is far better than Napoli because the both teams are currently playing on different leagues that has different levels of performance but if we should consider based on the local league achievement is obvious that PSG has more to offer than Napoli because they have been wining the French league for seasons now and it has become a thing of habits for them because no matter any difficulties they would always win at the end.

But however in the case of Napoli is always very difficult for them and they even barely qualify for any league before the season runs out, well I wouldn't blame them because there is a huge difference between Italian league and French league because Italian league is difficult to play than French league because if PSG should play on the Italian league there is no way they would perform the way they are performing.

It's very true what you say, for me Ligue 1 is interesting , but it doesn't represent the strongest league in European clubs. If you want to measure yourself I think the first option is the PL, if not , the Second best option I see is La Liga , and the third option I see is the Bundesliga , which for me has a great level. Now as you say, you're right, some prefer money over career, but if they want money it's preferable to go to Saudi football, which isn't bad, they have a good level now , because it has a High level According to the games I've seen, and I think it has the Highest level in Football than Ligue 1 , of course that's my perception, I could be Wrong.

PSG wait for green light to take Liverpool star back to France

The Frenchman played 37 games in all competitions for Liverpool last season, contributing a goal and receiving five yellow cards. He received a red card against Arsenal in the 3-1 Premier League loss, suffering two yellow cards in the second half.

Former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp rotated Konate with youngster Jarell Quansah to keep him fit for a longer time period. However, the 25-year-old suffered a surprise dip in form, struggling to display his usual dominance in the defence last season.

In any case, PSG wants high-level players to continue maintaining their lead.

A good player will not be able to provide good performance for the team if he can only work alone without any help from his own teammates on the team. So it would not be enough to say that Osimhen is a bad player because he does not get more good support from his teammates who may still be less able to provide the best passes to him when in the match. Because in fact he still has to be considered a good player at Napoli so that Napoli sets a high price for him so that other teams cannot reach him more easily.

French Ligue 1 which is mostly peoples called farming league having huge decline in quality and performance in last few years with no revival work done by French soccer Federation is surely miserable now things are going from bad to worse with PSG is having nothing to develop things as mostly they love to have quality players even on high price and done their job which is winning and having good results in UEFA Champions League in last few years they spend huge amounts on few transfers which fail to give them Champions League title, but sadly they are still failed to understand things and having no intention to change their strategy which give them better results and strong base of having quality players.

Now again they are working on few quality players to join them and having better results, but this is surely having not solid strategy for them to develop things we have reports they are working on few top players to join them for the next season, and they are able to stay at the top in this league and having good results in Champions League with all will be available in few days.
