i don't think it's a question of money, and the titles don't amount to a hill of beans between the four white lines. especially since only one player on the present squad (vercoutre) was on any of those title winners. no, if juventus took OL lightly it's because we're only 5th in a league they might consider (wrongly imo) as a full step below the serie A, and because we were missing so many regulars.
even better, lets hope we get healthier. grenier is a long way away still, both fofana and gourcuff should be coming around soon, but the return match will be even sooner. and bedimo looks like he went down again against VAFC. on the good side, we'll have the first-choice back pair available, tollisso looked just enormous in valenciennes ( even against weak opposition you could smell the talent, he's a good one) and ferri almost as good. and malbranque is coming closer to the level that wowed us all beginning of last season. if only we could get ONE of the players mentioned in the first paragraph back. arnold's OK but we have NO sub possibilities for the midfield.
After the PSG debacle Im ready for another disapointment today especially since OL is mising too many important people (Gourcuff, Grenier, Fofana still out.) Im already ready for next year.
too soon.. man... to soon. I'm not any more mad than I am disappointed in which the way PSG flubbed out last night. I really didn't think Ibra was that much more important than Cavani at this height of the CL.. I was clearly wrong, Cavani didn't do crap.. Emotionally I'm ready to sell this whiny piece of sh1t for around the same price PSG boughtem for, but then again whose going to replace him. I'm a forgiving person, so Cavani will have a massive chip on his back along with Ibra to take this ship back deep into the CL again next season, IF both are still around next season. Blanc's season so far... BetterThanIExpected.gif
Got to cheer for Lyon to beat PSG in the Coupe de la Ligue to get them back in the Europa League. Hope PSG is deflated from their Champions League exit and is disinterested.
