Alright, we need an academy thread. I'm getting this place active again. I don't have anything to add really. I love the attitude towards youth. Tolisso, Ferri, Laca, Fekir, Gonalons, Tousart, Diakhaby are current academy grads. Who are some up and coming regular 11?
Genesio with some nice words about Aouar so is starting to see some minutes. B.Genesio "H.Aouar a fait une très bonne entrée contre l'AZ. C'est un très jeune joueur. Il est dans le groupe, je compte sur lui" #FCGBOL
Same with Tousart. This is from the pre match press conference. B.Genesio "On compare souvent @lucas_tousart29 à Jérémy Toulalan. Il fait beaucoup de progrès, il est récompensé du travail fourni" #FCGBOL
Tousart wore the captain's armband today for the match against Inter. Aouar and Gouri have been getting a run out as well as Dzabana and Maolida.
I'm going to resurrect this forum. Aouar really seems to be the next great academy player. He's obviously a little lean right now, but he has a lot of the same qualities as Tolisso had. Myziane and Gouri continue to have the look of good quality players for the club. Guebbels to me however looks to have the brightest future of all the attacking players.
Aouar with a well taken goal today. Nothing spectacular, just softly taken with his right foot from just inside the box. It's imperative that the halfwit Genesio plays him and Fekir. I understand N'bombele is our best player on current form, but Aouar just has that it about him. Outstanding player.
Saddened to see that Lyon have lost both Geubbels and Maolida this summer. And neither Gouiri or Caqueret made the squad against Amiens.
I didn't see where Maolida went? Guebbels was always going to leave. His loss is frustrating though because he went to a direct competitor.
Maolida went to Nice. 10m + 30% of his resale. Agreed, if Geubbels had to leave, I wish it had been abroad.
