Corentin Tolisso

[Impact]

I don't think many of us here have seen Tolisso in action regularly. If we had, we would know that if we signed him, he would be a starter in midfield.

It's not that his ability is significantly more than our current options but it's his understanding of how to use his tools that puts him above our options in midfield atm (and the fact he can last a season without breaking down. That's always important.) His versatility is an added bonus.

How good is he?

@carlito'sway

Tolisso reminds me of a faster, more dynamic Ramsey. He is good enough for Arsenal and could be a strong addition. If I had to choose though, there is a number of other CM's I would take over him, even on L1 (Fabinho, Cyprien or even Rabiot to name a few).
Having said that, he is definitely an upgrade of the current lot (Coq/Ramsey/Ox....etc). He is also versatile enough to be able to play in a different configurations (2 CM's or a Midfield 3).

Not paid attention to him when I've watched Lyon, but with a name like that he's going places.

Loathe player comparisons but if I had to choose a player, I would have said Sami Khedira.

Looks decent.

Signing players from Lyon with their crackhead owner seems near impossible though.

He's linked with everyone, especially Juventus. We rarely sign these types, you have to pay abit more.

Yeah we are like that guy who watch 5 others praying on that poor girl at the bar and we don't want to get close to see if we have a chance because we don't think we are good enough.

We're more like the guy who stays at home because he refuses to pay the bar's inflated prices.

More like the guy who stays home having memory wanks, thinking of the times when he didn't need money to impress the girls. It's genuinely not fun being an Arsenal fan at the moment.

We should be able to buy any player from Ligue 1. WE SHOULD HAVE SIGNED ZLATAN LAST SUMMER. Have we ever signed a player from Lyon?

Nah, we're like that guy who goes to the bar but won't buy drinks or approach girls.

Then when we go home we say we almost bought that girl a drink

 

[yybecause]

Does that guy finish his night at 4 o'clock?

And then he spend his money on porn-site with the highest membership cost.

A quick tour of Parc OL, the Lyon stadium, simply spectacular.
Aulas can be a pain but kudos to him. He puts his money where his mouth is and built the stadium with private money.

 

[Hunta]

Reminds me of nobody watching him tonight.

Not like Kante has been doing much either, and he's one of the world's top midfielders atm.

Yeah, normally though I can compare players, this guy seems interesting, not sure who he's comparable to.

Isco and Iniesta have dominated.

 

[MutableEarth]

France have all that talent and their manager is Didier Deschamps

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

AM see some player play at international break.
He is not playing well, maybe his first game, maybe playing against the best possession team in the world having a good game.

The players must be ****.

TBF, this is not unique to AM. This is standard fare for modern football fans.
