Looks Lyon are going down this season.

INsider · 21-08-2007, 18:02

that's way too early to predict
but personally i wouldn't mind more unpredictability in ANY league

good luck to daddy gourcuff's lorient

In the end Lyon will win it again,it`s just to much imbalance in terms of budgets between lyon and the other teams.

They have problems whit injuries now,but i expect them by the time they hit winter break to be top of the table.

He is top class in football manager and looks promising in real life and i think he will,when he moves to a bigger club i bet lyon are gonna get a shit load of money.

As i was saying a few months back(lol this thread has hardly any post in it

) lyon will get back,and there topping the table now by 4 points.

lyon-46
bordeaux-42
AS Nancy-Lorraine -38

agree 100%

and him and rooney would be a dream partnership IMO, much better than rooney and tevez (which has the potential to be amazing aswell)

I don't think ManU will sign Benzema for sure, there are Real and also Milan interested on him, If Gila leave in summer for sure Benzema is going to choice us,or maybe is going to be an exchange with Lyon for Benzema and Gila. Who knows everything is possible.

exactly - who knows, but my guess is 1) he prefers england or spain to italy + 2) berlusconi would never ever be willing to meet the asking price for him.

did you guys see his last-gasp freekick equalizer against st. etienne?

Actually if i was Man-fan i would preffer more Rooney & Tevez than Rooney & Benzema.
IMO Tevez is physically great all the time making pressure to the opponent defence, can play all the time without getting tired. Exactly kind of striker u need when u have such offensive wings,

yup, but Tevez + Benzema is a better option than Rooney + Tevez or Rooney + Benzema IMO.

i have to disagree with you there, tevez is a fantastic player. however rooney, when played in his normal position (the position where tevez is currently using) is world class. when we had saha at the start of LAST season, him and rooney were bloody amazing, we tore everyone apart, then saha got injured and we had a slower larsson. benzema has the potential to be better thatn saha(some would argue he already is and based on this season so far, im inclined to agree) so with a pacy striker like benzema running on the shoulder of defenders, rooney wand him would be a dream.
rooney has a much better imagination than tevez aswell and thats saying a lot considering how good tevez is.

Fergie eyes Lyon duo
Sir Alex Ferguson has targeted Lyon duo Karim Benzema and Hatem Ben Arfa in a sensational £40million swoop. Boss Fergie made his move just a week before Manchester United face the French side in a Champions League last-16 clash. He spoke to Lyon week. Aulas said: “I spoke to Sir Alex. I told him that Benzema and Ben Arfa will not leave in the next two years. We want to build our future on them. If he wants to exchange Cristiano Ronaldo for Ben Arfa we could talk about it but they would have to also give us a bit of money.” But Aulas’ remarks will not put off Fergie, who spoke to the Lyon president before Saturday’s game with Sochaux. French ace Benzema, 20, is one of the hottest strikers in Europe with 16 goals in 24 league games this season, while Fergie sees jet-heeled Ben Arfa, 20, as a long-term replacement for Ryan Giggs, 34. The pair are also summer targets for Arsenal and Chelsea.

this simply HAS to be true. i will die and go to heaven if it is.

btw, i know a lot about benzema, but whenever i watch lyon i always focus on benzema and thats it. so what does everyone think of ben arfa?

He is a young version of Malouda with a great pace and creativity.
