Belhanda was a big loss. He was the main playmaker in the midfield. Cyprien is still out. They did sign Christophe Jallet. Right now they are tied with Ajax. Cant believe they make these guys start the season so early. No one is ready for it. It would be a miracle if Nice advances.
Latest I saw on Foot01 today is Esseryic will play his last match for the team vs Ajax then will be sold to Fiorentina and Sneijder will be brought in to replace. Also Nasri is being linked with Nice now.
I don't want to call them rejects, but I can understand why Nice are opting for older more experienced players of higher quality than younger players with higher potential in the transfer market
