Tends to matter little if he doesn’t want to come here. I don’t know if that’s the case either way but players have a hell of a lot of power. Lyon need to take any deal over no deal.
Mikautadze is a very very good player he’d be out of our reach entirely if Lyon weren’t forced to sell. There will be many clubs getting involved soon I just hope we’ve beat them to the punch
However this is a lifelong Lyon fan from the region, perhaps it would play on his mind if he wasn't getting the best deal to save his boyhood club. Not necessarily the deciding factor but it can play a part.
Hadn't seen this news before, what happens to Barcherini in that case? more of a first team coach role?
If Roma is the competition, Florent can just say “look marra, I left that **** to join the ambitious project, join me”. That’ll get him.
I assume he will be retained as part of the coaching staff similar role to last year - Set pieces maybes
We were linked to diarra 2 weeks before it was done. we only really get one ninja signing a year and we’ve already done it with sadiki so I don’t really get this narrative
Tbh this is a bit of a concern for me even if we get him... will his heart be in it? Hope he doesn't lose his love of the game and just "go through the motions" after being forced to leave the club he loves...
