French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Josefjix]

PSG already got what they needed to have. In the last season, they had superstar players but they didn't have a coach like Enrique in this team to help players have better teamwork and they have it. Also, Enrique is experienced enough to make PSgeven win the Champions League title.
But other than this, they have to give Enrique some more time and provide him the players he needs, Mbappe leaving PSG was harmful for them.

It will take more time before witnessing the progressive structure of PSG. Remember, they sold one of the promising player to Real Madrid and his space is vacant, no replacement yet for Kylian Mbappe. This is probably the picture where Paris Saint-Germain headcoach, Enrique steps in, he will deliver excellent job during his prime in Parc des Princes stadium. He just need more time to settled down and arrange for the very best. Luis Enrique will do the necessary changes to boost the performance of the club.

Everyone will see how Luis Enrique will be able to manage the PSG team next season with Kylian Mbappe no longer in the squad. Because so far there has been little dependence on Kylian Mbappe at PSG so Luis Enrique will have no other choice but to look for new players. And also change things that are still dependent on one player into more solid teamwork in order to stay on track to win next season in two quite prestigious competitions of course (Ligue 1 and Champions League).

Mbappe departure from the French League resulted in minimal audience interest, although I know that is not a strong reason but just based on my thoughts so far where Ligue 1 in several seasons has only been about PSG and Mbappe has been most often highlighted by the media. Now people's attention is diverted, especially as Mbappe supporters who usually focus on Ligue 1 will be more enthusiastic about La Liga. Do you think I'm exaggerating when it comes to Ligue 1's outlook or are there similar facts at play here?

I remember two years ago when PSG had players like Neymar and Messi in this team and they had Mbappe at the same time, there was too much interest in watching PSG games while before these players joined PSG people didn't show any interest in watching French League at all. Now since Mbappe left PSG I think there is going to be less interest in watching PSG games and this can definitely damage the French League. That's why when Mbappe was about to leave PSG, everyone in France was trying to make him stay there.

The appeal of Ligue 1 lies in PSG, and the appeal of PSG lies in its number of star players. Without star players at PSG, the Ligue 1 fan base will certainly decrease significantly, which could also have an impact on the income of Ligue 1 clubs. I think that is also the driving factor for PSG to always have the ambition to build a squad made up of star players especially after Mbappe left for Madrid. Apart from that, PSG really wants to realize their dream of winning the Champions League trophy for the first time in the club history.

From another point of view, without many star players in the PSG squad, the other Ligue 1 contestants will be at a big advantage, where the competition for trophies is not too competitive. The gap that has been created due to PSG abundant financial strength has made PSG too dominant for all of its competitors. This fact actually cannot be ignored, and PSG actually won't care about the lack of Ligue 1 fans. PSG is only focused on increasing the club prestige, and continues to be ambitious with its project of winning the Champions League.

PSG owners have huge ambitions to make PSG a strong team not only in the league, but they are obsessed with winning the Champions League, so they don't hesitate to spend a lot of money to recruit star players at that time, Neymar, Messi, Mbappe and Donnarumma become players that they can recruit and make their team look very strong, Previously, the president of PSG really wanted the two best players in the world who had been rivals to join the PSG squad, but this didn't happen after Ronaldo preferred to join another club, I think If Al Naseer previous ambitions are realized then we will see PSG like an Avengers team that has many stars in their squad.

What the PSG president hoped to make PSG a big team has of course been fulfilled now, but even though they have gathered many star players in their squad, PSG is only able to compete in the domestic league without being able to do much in the Champions League so far, even though one by one the star players are leaving PSG at the moment, of course they are still a big team so I think they will still be able to compete in the Champions League even though they may still need a lot of time to become champions.

In fact, the people in charge of the PSG team cannot be blamed in any way because this team has invested a lot of money just to transform their club into one of the best clubs in the world. They spent a lot of money I accept that but they spent the money in a wrong way so that their plan did not succeed. Always talking about PSG, I used to say that their team lacks a good manager. Maybe there is no chance to say that now because now they have appointed a quality manager to their club but I don't see any significant activity from the manager in this transfer market so what are they really planning for next season. I thought they would get over last season and plan hard for next season but so far it doesn't look like that.

It is very difficult to predict the direction of steps that PSG management will take in the future in building squad depth, especially after they lost their best asset, Mbappe. So far PSG have not brought in a replacement for Mbappe, several names have been linked, but we don't know for sure who will be recruited. We know it is difficult to find players who match or approach Mbappe quality in the transfer window, but PSG seems to need a solution for the role left by the French striker. One thing is clear that PSG will try to maintain its bargaining value in the Champions League, maybe PSG will start its new project again to build a luxurious squad.

At first glance, the steps taken by PSG management and club officials in this decade seem inappropriate in building squad depth, because the best result they can achieve is winning the Ligue 1 trophy and becoming Champions League finalists. It is certain that without actively moving in the transfer window it will be difficult for PSG to compete in the Champions League next season, but it would be wiser if PSG changed their perspective in recruiting players, meaning they don't have to continuously recruit star players, because that is not a guarantee for success.

It is a fact that no player stays permanently at any club. 
When Lionel Messi left Barcelona and came to PSG, we saw him cry a lot and he never wanted to leave Barcelona. At one time he said that he is ready to play for Barcelona for free, but according to UEFA rules, to keep Messi in the team, Barcelona had to pay double the salary, which Barcelona could not afford, that's why they sold Lionel Messi.

Mbappe left Real Madrid of his own free will so PSG should re-plan. Mbappé was an important player of their club but seeing him leave will end the performance of the club but it is not like that. If they spend money in this transfer window and get some players in their squad as planned, their team performance will improve again.

Luis Enrique will have a tougher task than before, where last season he still relied on Mbappe in his scheme, but next season he will have to change to a new strategy with the composition of the players they have. In fact, PSG is trying to bring in star player to replace Mbappe but it is very difficult to make offers to star players because maybe they are not interested in playing in League 1, afraid that their future will be in vain like Mbappe.

I think PSG's situation of not having star players will make the competition in League 1 more competitive and seeing that there are other clubs who will challenge for the League 1 title next season, with that we will see whether Luis Enrique can still defend the League 1 trophy for PSG?

Mason Greenwood, one of Manchester United young players who was previously loaned to Getafe and became one of the best players there, has finished his loan contract for one season and now he will return to Manchester United but there is another loan option.
Manchester United has reportedly reached an agreement with Marseille for Greenwood on the same loan, namely one season, this could be good thing for Marseille because Greenwood himself will be able to help them compete considering that the previous two season have been in decline.
So far there are no Marseille players who can really look competitive enough and can also show how dominant their qualities are, it is hoped that Greenwood presence will bring change to Marseille next season.

Mason Greenwood was brilliant for Getefe last season, it felt like he never left football after all these past few months behind bars. I think he was also player of the season last season for that club as he contributed to the club, they actually wanted him to stay longer but Manchester United wasn't impressed with the offers made to sign him.

He'll be leaving for Marseille shortly and it's no longer a loan deal, he'll be sold off completely. A minor setback came up about the young player after the Mayor made some comments about the young lad but Marseille are still pressing hard to make sure that they get the player they want hundred percent.
He needs to get back to good shape, he could be able to play the next Fifa World Cup Competition if he is able to find himself inna consistent club that backs him.

Per Emerick Aubameyang did well for Marseille last season, are you saying you don't have no idea about what he did in the UEFA European Europa League Competition.

The facts you say are very real and can also be an example or reference for other players so that there is no surprise when something like that happens again to another player at a club. Apart from that, there is always regeneration at every club, especially a club like Barcelona which has an academy to hone the talents of young people so they can have the talent to play in more prestigious events. Likewise with Mbappe who went from PSG to Real Madrid, who generally had a special reason apart from still being quite thirsty for the Champions League trophy and other trophies.

Didn't Manchester United previously plan to sell him permanently? could it be that Greenwood's negotiations with the Italian team have failed? If that's the case, it's possible that Manchester United will have no other plans other than a loan for Greenwood to happen again. I think Marseille made the right move by securing Greenwood's services for a season because this player is really good.

But it seems that Marseille is also constrained by quite large costs according to Manchester United's request and therefore they tried it first on loan. If possible and have fresh funds next season, it is possible that Marseille will make him permanent. We know that Marseille spent big this summer and at least 2 to 3 new players have joined.

This season has been a challenging season for Luis Enrique in managing PSG, after one of his top players chose to move to Real Madrid, now he has to look for a reliable replacement on the front lines. Mbappe has been PSG mainstay in breaking into opponents' goals, now he is no longer with the team coached by Luis Enrique. There is no other choice for PSG other than looking for a replacement to fill the void in the front line, several players are starting to be linked with PSG, including one of the Euro stars who succeeded in bringing Spain to the final. Luis Enrique must be able to keep PSG from being a team that always dominates Ligue 1 and improve their quality in the Champions League, Currently, the UCL trophy has not been achieved even though a lot of money has been spent recruiting classy players. It is hoped that Enrique presence will be able to make it happen.

Greenwood is one big player that need to play for a bigger club as a full time player not as a player Manchester United are using to confuse themselves by loaning him every season and it pains me to see how they still treat him by loaning him and after seeing how good and better he has become they can't still give him another chance to come back to the club as a player. UTD and pride, that's what is stopping them from progressing, is best to terminate Greenwood's contract let the young man be free from all these crazy loans, I believe he wants to play for UTD but they think he's not good for them.
Greenwood did well in Spain for Getafe and going to Marseille is really not too cool IMO, not that he won't do well but starting all over again is not really healthy for a young man as Greenwood, he needs to be back to where he's familiar with, like England or the Spanish side he went to last season, for now the deal is not yet completed let's see how it turns out.

[Luzin]

A minor setback came up about the young player after the Mayor made some comments about the young lad but Marseille are still pressing hard to make sure that they get the player they want hundred percent.

Still no one doubts it. I don't think I hate because his mistake is 1 time unfair. He is a young player who still has potential. I think Man United loaned him out because indeed their regulations are like that. If the problem is solved, it should also end. So giving the opportunity to play is a good thing. He has given proof in the getafe, he deserves to play even better. Marseille's offer is the biggest and probably no one dares to go bigger than that. I think Man United will release him.

Greenwood is a good player and he had a good performance in the last season while he had to leave Manchester United and play for another team on loan but since he was under investigation in England he prefers to avoid playing there and that's why I think this player is linked to Marseille to play there in the next season on loan. However, Marseille won't be a good destination for him because Marseille is not a strong team and he can choose much better teams than Marseille. Maybe after this season when he plays in the other teams on loan, he will return to the better teams again.

So far there are no Marseille players who can really look competitive enough and can also show how dominant their qualities are, it is hoped that Greenwood presence will bring change to Marseille next season.

After De Zerbi handled Marseille he starting to look for potential player for this team and he want Greenwood because De Zerbi feel Greenwood can in form again after loaned to Getafe this season and actually Marseille has a plan want to buy Greenwood permanently not want to loan him from Manchester United especially Manchester United also still required huge funds to gets the players so they will be more likely want to sell Greenwood rather than to loan him and the current situation of this transfer is actually between Marseille and Manchester United have reached an agreement on the transfer price for Greenwood that Marseille will buy Greenwood for 30 million as transfer fees

But after Mayor of Marseille Benoit Payan make some of controversial statement about this transfer that he doesn't want Greenwood be a part of Marseille then some of fans has starting to refuse this transfer so there is possibility this transfer will not going to happend because of the things i mentioned above but indeed Greenwood agent still under discussing with Marseille representative to find the best ways of this transfer but Marseille is not alone because reported Lazio also interested want to buy Greenwood

[arimamib]

He'll be leaving for Marseille shortly and it's no longer a loan deal, he'll be sold off completely. A minor setback came up about the young player after the Mayor made some comments about the young lad but Marseille are still pressing hard to make sure that they get the player they want hundred percent.

Marseille, which next season will be handled by a smart coach who previously coached Brighton, is currently starting to gather young talent from clubs that play in the English league, De Zerbi is very aggressive in recruiting forward players who next season are expected to make Marseille able to compete for a one ticket the champions league as a realistic target for clubs in ligue 1 (because the championship trophy will likely still belong to PSG), greenwood is one of the transfer targets they are continuing to try to realize at the moment even though they still have Aubameyang on the front lines, apart from marseille who has currently offered 30 million pounds to Manchester United, Lazio is also reportedly still eager to recruit Greenwood to face the competition next season.

Still no one doubts it. I don't think I hate because his mistake is 1 time unfair. He is a young player who still has potential. I think Man United loaned him out because indeed their regulations are like that. If the problem is solved, it should also end. So giving the opportunity to play is a good thing. He has given proof in the getafe, he deserves to play even better. Marseille's offer is the biggest and probably no one dares to go bigger than that. I think Man United will release him

The situation faced by Manchester United is not easy to deal with the Greenwood problem, Manchester United reportedly still want to retain their talented young player, but the effects of the previous case that befell Greenwood will most likely make the club condition unstable in the next season If Greenwood is retained, because here are still many Manchester United fans who refused Greenwood is at Manchester United at this time even though he was declared not guilty in the case.

Actually, Greenwood is one of the players who has a bright future, especially after he was able to perform quite well when he was first promoted to the first team, last season we could see how he performed quite well with Getafe so it seems that Marseille are very interested in bringing him in next season, Ligue 1 is not a very competitive league so I think greenwood will be very easy to adapt to later.

This is a certainty in football that players will not always remain playing with that team, although some players are loyal to their team in the end they will be separated because of age and they will stop being football players. Clubs must also be aware of this kind of thing, not to mention that a team must regenerate as said. Being prepared to lose a player is something that must be present at all times for a club.

Management is someone who will control where the team will move, therefore it must be filled by very professional people. Because the fact that is happening now is that management is actually one of the reasons the team is moving backwards because they can't manage it very well. This should also be a note because they manage everything within the team, including finances. How many teams end up having to experience problems because they fail to manage finances.

Basically Mason Greenwood is still young, and it seems natural that Greenwood did not get a place in Manchester United's main squad. And thus,loaning Greenwood to Getafe is a good way of course to make Greenwood get more minutes to play. But it seems, as long as Erik ten Hag is still the manager of Manchester United, then it looks like Greenwood still has no chance of getting more minutes to play.

Therefore, accepting offers from other teams will certainly be the right choice for Greenwood, because he is still young and has good potential too, then ofcourse Greenwood deserves to get more minutes to play. But yes,  it looks like there will still be competition in this transfer window, although Marseille may be the leading team to get Greenwood, but it looks like there are still other teams who are also still trying to get Greenwood and the team is Lazio.

If PSG works at the field level and if they find talented players and sign them at a low price and bring those players to the club and turn them into good skill players and sell them at a high price, then the club will gain as well as the club will be strong enough. We don't see much of that with PSG. PSG lags far behind other clubs, including Real Madrid, where 16, 15 and 17-year-old footballers are highly valued. 

PSG buys players with huge sums of money and after a few days they see players who are not performing as expected and are forced to sell those players at very low prices or let them go for free. As these things bring financial loss for the club on the one hand, on the other hand, the performance of the club does not move forward because of these things. Since PSG got a quality manager, they must think about these things.

So far there are no Marseille players who can really look competitive enough and can also show how dominant their qualities are, it is hoped that Greenwood presence will bring change to Marseille next season.

Mason Greenwood left Manchester United for a loan move to Spanish club Getafe last season after he was cleared of the rape case that was brought against him by his girlfriend and despite not playing professional football for months before he joined Getafe, it didn't stop Greenwood from having a great season with the Spanish club. I was expecting Getafe to sign him on permanent basis but surprisingly, he was allowed to return to Manchester United.
Marseille was reported to be closing a 26 million pounds deal to sign the England international on permanent basis but reports have that the deal have been put on hold after the Marseille mayor got involved. There's a report that the mayor opposes the signing of Greenwood to the club which means that Greenwood potential move to the French club might not materialize again.
