Romain Alessandrini,Florian Thauvin should have amazing year for Marseille both will have call ups for France and play friendly's maybe even André-Pierre Gignac theres going to put a hell of a fight for a champions league spot in Ligue 1 this year ! Lyon and Monaco are going to fight it out Lens and St etienne, Nice, should do well and get Europa league spots
Have to disagree there, bud. Lens and Nice will be terrible based on what they have done in the transfer window in that they havent improved much from last year. I mean if Lens want to avoid relegation they are gonna have to do more than what they have done so far. Nice same thing. St Etienne should be ok but I dont know about a Europa League spot.
Lens new goalie is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gianluca_Curci So youre counting on a guy who played 25 games the last 2 years to try to save you from relegation
Nice sign ex Marseille castoff Souleymane Diawara. Not a good sign if youre trying to stave off relegation. Matt you really need to reconsider your predictions of Nice and Lens contending for Europa League spots.
Mauvaise nouvelle pour le RC Lens. Ce mardi après-midi, la DNCG s’est montrée intransigeante avec le Racing. Admis en Ligue 1 par la Fédération Française de Football après un avis favorable du CNOSF, le club artésien a été interdit de recrutement par le gendarme financier du football français. Cette décision sera maintenue tant qu’Hafiz Mammadov, l’actionnaire majoritaire, n’aura pas versé les 4 millions d’euros promis par valider l’accession. (Source : L'Equipe)
Yeah but Gervais Martel got into bed with a dodgy character so its all on him. Btw, Sochuax want back in Ligue 1 now. http://www.lensois.com/2014/08/06/67459-sochaux-veut-la-place-du-rc-lens-en-l1
Not serious, just a political signal. Anyway Martel gathers what he's sowed. He wanted to keep his position at any cost.
Bastia has had decent summer recruitment. I think they can contend for a Europa League spot. Also Rennes obviously can contend for Europa.
"Chairman RC Lens reportedly told the DNCG, during his visit on Monday that the government of Azerbaijan would simply froze all accounts and business, and therefore it is impossible for a single euro comes from the principal shareholder of the club." http://www.foot01.com/equipe/lens/mammadov-out-le-rc-lens-au-bord-du-gouffre,150903
What.... I'm so confused, how tf did he become shareholder..not how, more like why??? Df was the point?
Likelyhood of them being like Strasbourg, Grenoble, Le Mans, etc. and being stripped of professional status and having to go down to the lower divisions. I have no idea. Either way its a League 2 level team with no big home crowd advantage and no new recruits. Enjoy last place.

HOW THE FCUK DID WILLY PULL THIS OFF LE BAYERN ANNONCE CONTENTO A BORDEAUX. Le Bayern Munich a annoncé que Diego Contento allait s'engager en faveur des Girondins de Bordeaux. Le latéral gauche, âgé de 24 ans, a été formé en Bavière. Ce dernier doit désormais trouver un accord avec les Bordelais et passer la visite médicale.
Poor showings from Monaco, PSG and OM put Caen in the top spot after the first week. OL already battered with injuries but still managed a win at home.
Maybe Nice wont be as bad as I thought cuz Super Dario already has 2 goals in the first game after 8 total last season.
