Remember a few years ago Lyon was not what they are right now. So who do you think will be the next Lyon. A club that right now is not so big but in a few years will be right up there with the big boys. My pick goes to OGC Nice. New stadium, more money to spend, more fan interest. Right now they are grouped with clubs like Bastia, Auxerre,Sochaux,Metz,Strasbourg and Toulouse. In a few years they will be on the level with Marseille, PSG, Monaco, Lyon, Bordeaux, Nantes and Lens.

Rennes. They seem to have the scouting thing going on and signing Kallstrom should be a boost, if he's the player they think he is.
Good youth formation going and getting better.

It's tought to call right now. As much as I'd like PSG to stay on top of the French and European football scene, another team may just steal the show...
Who that is? I'm going to say Lens.

I would also say Nice and Rennes the absolute best thing about french foortball is that almost every year you see a new team win the championship.
