Newcastle United Scouting Thread - Ligue 1 + 2 2014/2015

zero zero huff and puff

OM two down at home to Lorient within 15 minutes, equalise, Lorient score immediately, equalise again Lorient score two. 3-5 with Ayew getting two for Lorient.

A week behind but finally watched Lyon's 2-2 draw with St Etienne, could be the 2 ponts dropped that costs them the title cos they should have been 3 or 4 up before they eventually got the opener then quickly proceeded to concede a penalty (converted) and had a man sent off. Was a really great performance and Fekir was again outstanding.

Eheh so good to watch OM sink... Since their defeat at home against Paris !
No champions league for them next season !
I hope Paris will take the leader seat back this afternoon (and that OL will lose !)

6-1 Paris. Boom ! Goal average difference with Lyon reduced to -2 in one game. Smooth

how the fuck did rennes afford €21m on an unproven brazilian winger in 2000? reminiscent of denilson to betis

They bought this guy in the same week for €12m as well.

Never great when Wikipedia lists your spell at a club as 2001-2003, Games:? Goals:?

Gallic shrug the very least they could have managed

answer they are owned by the son of francois pinault, this presumably being the reason why he hasn't been so spendthift lately

ridsdale perhaps the more apt comparison

Interrogé il y a quelques semaines par le Mensuel de Rennes, l’international brésilien était revenu sur les raisons de son échec. « Au départ, je devais jouer à l’Olympique de Marseille. J’avais même parlé à l’entraîneur de l’époque, Abel Braga. Rennes a finalement doublé l’offre. Ce n’était pas ma faute.

Having lost Payet, Thauvin, Imbula, Gignac, Ayew, Morel and Fanni in addition to Bielsa it's surprising Marseille can field a full team but they are trouncing Troyes 4-0 atm.

Lassana Diarra, who has been without a club since last summer, scored the terrific second one.

3rd and 4th were pretty sweet too.

disgusting goals

finally watched the weekend's highlights. ooh fekir!!! The other chaps goal was laughably good as well.

finally beating Monaco for the first time in ligue 1 in like 8 years was pretty sweet for PSG (and 3-0 in their stadium even better !).
after 4 games, Paris has 4 wins, 7 goals for, 0 against.
nice season start !

psg were so dominant vs monaco, could have had 5 or 6 goals tbh. Ibra looked good and Matuidi was immense, again!.

yeah, Matuidi keeps improving, that's quite amazing. at some point someone dribbled through 3 guys and I thought it was Marco or something be it was Blaise !
great start for Di Maria too. fantastic passing for Lavezzi.

PSG will be champions in about an hour and half, with eight games to go. Would have won earlier had they turned up in the last two league games.

Marseille are substantially worse this season, as are St Etienne, arguably. Lyon, who are the second best team in the league on form, are 32 points behind. Monaco will probably finish second but have shipped out most of their better players and rely on a creaking Vagner Love for goals. There have been some interesting cameos from teams like Angers and Caen this season but it is evidence of the weakness of the league rather than any real depth. It is difficult to see how things can go on as they are but idk what could possibly change things.

Currently seven nil up away from home with over half an hour to play. Zlatan just scored a ten minute hat trick.
