French teams in the ECL next year.

Lookin good, we will most likely have 3 of the big guns competing with the best of the best in September.

Marseille's financial troubles seem to be old news, today they announced they will be going after Auxerre's Cisse & Boooomsong, Sochaux's Pedretti & Nantes' keeper Landreau. All of them young French internationals.

Monaco's 87 million Euro deficit will also be taken care, with new investors stepping in with an injection of 120 M. Euros.

Lyon will hopefully keep the core of their players with the possible exceptions of Govou and Carriere.

These are all high quality teams in my opinion, and next year, as most of you know, there will be no group stages in the second round of the CL. I think this will be a huge advantage for our teams, why? it's hard to explain, but on 2 games, French teams can compete with the best of em. It's our consistency in the group stages that seems to be very poor.

So, I think 2 teams will make it to the quarters or beyond next year.

Any thoughts from you guys?

 

Exactly, I really like Auxerre and all, but we need to see the PSG's, Om's, Bordeaux's, Monaco's and Lyon's, these teams can do some serious damage.

P.S: too bad about Bordeaux, they have a great team and awesome fans. I would take them over Monaco.
