Bordeaux Thread [R]

[SportBoy333]

They have 3 signings so far. Micoud, Dalmat, and Wendel all MF's. They should sign an attacker and defender before the window cloes.

New rumors concerning Patrick Kluivert. Also Juan Pablo Sorin.

Bordeaux: the false note of recruitment (05/09)
The president of Bordeaux, Jean-Louis Triaud, acknowledged that the envelope intended for the transfers had not been entirely used. A sum of 10M€ remains indeed at disposal of the club to be reinforced, relays the Western Southern daily newspaper. How to explain such a failure whereas the club is engaged in League of the Champions? Whereas the infirmary filled already (Jemmali, Fernando and Smicer in particular), the low depth of the bench shows already the weaknesses of a manpower badly armed at the same time to make good figure on several tables. (By Nicolas Lagavardan)

Looks like someone screwed up. :)

Sorry, don't have a clue. Just been following the match on Soccernet.com.... Seems pretty even so far.

Gala 0-0 Bordeaux

Good hard earned points for the men from Gironde.

[SportBoy333]

Micoud said he was happy with the result. By the way, Denilson is still without a club as a deal to a Saudi Arabian team fell through and he's now looking at Portsmouth.

[HypoLuxa]

I'm wondering if we shouldn't get Denilson back just for this season. We've looked pedestrian so far and the goal scoring is still minimal just like last year. I'm not a big fan of denilson's, but he does add a bit of skill and scoring to the squad.

The team is 3-0-3 and laying in the middle of the table. It's still early days, but I don't see any more of a goal scoring threat now than last year...Hopefully this will change.

[SportBoy333]

You needed a decent striker and you didnt sign one. Darcheville, Chakmah, and Lelanders are average to mediocre. Denilson wouldnt help he's not a striker. You midfield isnt bad its up front thats the problem. Wendell is looking decent so far.

[HypoLuxa]

After a lackluster start of the season for Bordeaux, they host PSV today in the Champions League second round of games. PSV and Bordeaux both drew in their previous games, so they'll both be looking for blood.

This is what I dreaded as my favorite Dutch team faces my favorite French team, but as I am hoping for both to advance I obviously want what will facilitate both to advance.

PSV is a shadow of the team that did so well in the Champion's League two years ago, but they are still quite dangerous. This should be a great game, and I think that it will end up 2-1 for Bordeaux.

On a side note, Ricardo signed a contract extension that will last 2 more years. If he can build upon last year's success and do well in the Champ's League and Ligue 1 this will definitely be a worthwhile contract extension.

[SportBoy333]

They must win this match if they are going to advance. Liverpool and PSV are still the group favorites.

[HypoLuxa]

well Bordeaux lost against PSV 1-0. They had 15 shots but only 4 were on goal. They have it all to do as Liverpool and PSV each have 4 points and Bordeaux has 1 along with Galatasaray. Tough game as PSV committed 23 fouls:eek: but whatever, they got the result and Bordeaux now have a tougher road to go. Micoud was substituted right after half-time...I hope there was no injury that he picked up....

[SportBoy333]

They have to take all 6 points from their last 2 home matches in my opinion and steal a point on the road.

[HypoLuxa]

yeah Bordeaux haven't made it easy on themselves. They HAVE to take care of the home-field advantage, hope there is a slip-up with Liverpool and/or PSV AND go on the road to PSV and Liverpool and play for points. It will be tough, but not entirely out of the realms of possibility.

Sounds as if the home support was lively and boisterous, and Micoud was brought off for tactical reasons, which did seem to work in getting more shots.

Now they have to travel and face Valenciennes in the League. Hopefully they don't have a hang-over and take care of business to get to 5-0-3.

I find it a bit strange how Bordeaux have played 7 games in Ligue 1 and have not drawn once. This coming after last year when they drew every other game it seemed. weird...

[Allez Lyonnais]

The campaign's over. Bordeaux are just not good enough to compete among the European elites.

[HypoLuxa]

The campaign's not over, but it's close. That game Wednesday was huge as we all know, but it's not completely out of the realm of possibility for Bordeaux to recover and squeak into the second spot in the group.

Bordeaux's strength is the defense and that translates better on the road than a high-powered offense, so they still have a realistic chance. Hell, I think they can even get a point out of Liverpool at Anfield!

[SportBoy333]

I'm very excited about the Bordeaux-Liverpool match this week because I'll be able to watch it. I'll be pulling for Bordeaux all the way to get a positive result.

[HypoLuxa]

I'm actually very optimistic about this match. Gerrard's out with an injury and Ricardo is going to have his boys play aggressive, since they HAVE to get results now that Bordeaux are 0-1-1 with no goals scored as of yet.

Hopefully Ricardo will use Micoud in a creative role right behind the striker/s, like he did against Monaco last weekend.

Whatever the case I'm predicting a 1-0 win for les Girondins!

[SportBoy333]

Dalmat, Planus, and Smicer are all out.
