Lucien Favre, now that is a world class manager.

Really good analysis from a while ago which looks at OGC Nice.

On paper, Super Mario is better than every striker in the PL outside 2/3 guys. Glad to see him smiling more in France.

Incredible human being, would love to see him leading the line for Arsenal.

Great win for OGC Nice indeed. Balo was good, Ricardo Pereira is a real talent though and Michael Seri is a gem. The title is definitely within the grasps of Monaco now. 6 points over the next 4 games and they will be champion.

Favre rejected an approach from Bayer Leverkusen, rumor now is that Dortmund are after him.

Imagine him in charge of this up and coming Dortmund side

They'd have a real shot at winning the league I think if he were to come in.

Monaco just signed Tielemans

Monaco just signed Tielemans

Good move for him. Too young for a top club, would've been benched.

If, as expected, Mbappe stays, that will be a dynamic duo. At the other end, it is clear that, with Tielemans coming, either Bakayoko to
Fabinho are on their way out. Two good players who could be excellent addition to AFC.

I'd be wary of Bakayoko actually, I reckon his physical nature is deceiving. Fabinho would be a huge signing though.

Agree. Bakayoko is a physical specimen but does not have the intelligence, finesse and tactical ability of Fabinho though. The latter can play right back, CM and I could see him as a CD if needed.

Great move for Monaco and Tielemans.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

Monaco win Ligue 1. Surely Emery must be gone.

 

[carlito'sway]

AS Monaco, deserved champion in Ligue 1 after their 2-0 win vs St Etienne. Goals of Mbappe and Germain.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Well deserve title very exciting team would be really interesting to see what they'll do in the summer it will be difficult to hold on their star players.

 

[Gooner Zig]

What an incredible achievement. It's astonishing really considering the financial disparity between PSG and the rest of ligue 1

The Champs!

This is Jorge, the Brazilian left back. He is Mendy's back up but may be the reason ASM will sell Benjamin Mendy. They are fully covered at the position. Pure talent.

Where is Mendy headed to? Could see Man City, Chelsea, Man Utd and Barca being interested.

Not sure where he is going. ASM should cash out on him though. They have the player to take over from him.
