Media silent on Sp**s spending £100m on Lo Celso and Ndombele and loaning them out.
Compare that to the Pepe/Lukaku coverage.

Time to say Lyon players are overrated.
Time to say Lyon players are overrated.
Apart from Mercedes Benz, who really blew up after leaving Lyon? Aulas has been rinsing Europe's elite (and Sp**s) for years.
It’s 50/50 with Lyon, it’s the same with Lille- there’s some players there even now that would improve the team.Essien was top tier. There were other very good players too like Mahamadou Diarra, Eric Abidal, Malouda, Pjanic, Wiltord and even more recently Guimarães and Ferland Mendy.

Arsenal fans just stuck on Laca really.
Essien is probably the best after Benzema. Both top class. Wiltord and Diarra that's like 20 years ago? Pjanic has not been great apart from Roma. Abidal the best from that list for me. Guimaraes still all to prove, but will definitely be important for a team like Newcastle. May need to refresh my Malouda memory, but not high up the list from my memory. Mendy done well at Madrid.Essien was top tier. There were other very good players too like Mahamadou Diarra, Eric Abidal, Malouda, Pjanic, Wiltord and even more recently Guimarães and Ferland Mendy.
Shame ndombele moved to Sp**s guy is a baller would have loved him hereMedia silent on Sp**s spending £100m on Lo Celso and Ndombele and loaning them out.

I dunno man, it’s kinda like saying Southampton players are overrated because not every player is Mane and Bale was years ago.Essien is probably the best after Benzema. Both top class.

Juninho probably my favorite Lyon player, though he never moved up from there, so who knows if he could do it without L1 discount.
Everytime a player does well at Lyon they get hyped up on AM. Hardly any have fulfilled their potential after their move.
Most players are usually moved on or become fringe after a couple seasons. There is a lot of hype around these guys when they peak in L1. Fekir, Aouar (still no suitors?), Laca (I always defended him and think he's done well for how we utilized him), Tolisso, Ndombele, Dembele, Depay, Cornet.
Good players, lots of talent, but definitely overrated.

Pjanic, who had already rejected Arsenal while still a budding young prospect at French club Lyon, was earmarked by Tottenham as a successor to Luka Modric after his move to Real Madrid.
He told The Telegraph: 'You want to know the names? They were Arsenal and Tottenham.
'There was the opportunity [to join Tottenham] but at that moment I told them I was happy where I was and that's why we didn't sign the deal.

Guy just can’t put the donuts down apparently. To be fair, most people in the world would lose motivation if they got £200k a week guaranteed for the next 5 years.Shame ndombele moved to Sp**s guy is a baller would have loved him here
Since benzema in 2009 to Madrid their noticable transfers are:Time to say Lyon players are overrated.

They want all or nothing seriesMaupay might be on his way to Nottingham for 15M.
Nottingham look each new day they sign new player. It's seriously crazy
I think they just know how to get good money from thier talent. Cherki and Terrier to move next and they'll easily get 60m from bothSince benzema in 2009 to Madrid their noticable transfers are:
2011 Pjanic to Roma for 11M (good)
2012 Lloris to Sp**s for 12M (good)
2013 Lovren to Southampton for 10M (good)
2015 N’Jie to Sp**s for 14M (bad)
2016 Umtiti to Barca for 25M (bad)
2017 Lacazette to Arsenal for 53M (mediocre)
2017 Tolisso to Bayern for 41M (bad)
2018 Diaz to Madrid for 21M (buyback)
2018 Geubels to Monaco for 20M (wtf)
2018 Diakhaby to Valencia for 15M (good)
2019 Ndombele to Sp**s for 60M (haha)
2019 Mendy to Madrid for 48M (good)
2019 Tousart to Hertha for 25M (bad)
2019 Fekir to Betis for 20M (mediocre)
2020 Traore to villa for 20M (bad)
Left 2021 and 2022 out because its too early to say but I have to say Andersen to crystal palace is looking very good.
Conclusion: the time where u could get value for money for players from Lyon has long past.
Thier club will be nothing if they get relegated because they'll made big loss if they get relegated with those playersThey want all or nothing series
They sold terrier for 12M years ago and Cherki is nowhere near ready. U stuck in 2020?I think they just know how to get good money from thier talent. Cherki and Terrier to move next and they'll easily get 60m from both
