I did ask your questions.. I requested us loaning LB Gassama only for him to correct me that Gassama is a RB! We're not getting Bastos sorry.. When asked if he thought Benzema was worth 35mil euros he just said it was the market price.. He wouldn't say which player he thought was the best only commented that they were all 'big' players. He'd love to coach Messi cos he thinks it would be easy.. said "I couldn't teach him anything!" He has no plans to become a manager himself, he likes working with Puel and said "I am happy" When I asked him if he thought Lyon could still win the league (they're 6pts behind Lille) he smiled & said we must believe it but I got the impression he didn't really think they would.. He knew Hull City, especially Daniel Cousin who he played against for Lille vs Lens (Cousin's old club) but he didn't know any of our current players although he said the name Barmby rang a bell He was shocked that a player of Craig Bellamy's quality was in the English 2nd division (we were talking loans) Patrick Collet scored 31 goals in French Ligue 1 for Martigues, Arles-Avignon & Lille..
Collet is 43, we're talking a while ago.. yep I mentioned Ghilas & he knew him cos Lyon beat them 5-0 a few weeks ago..
I am aware he won't have played for a while - the playing for A-A just stoked my mind. Just thought that if he remembered Lyon playing against Cousin, he should remember them playing against Ghilas (assuming he wasn't injured at the time). Turns out that he did. He probably knows of Bernard as well.
We need a keeper next season, ask him if they fancy doing a swap for Lloris with Bullard, Bullard probably earns more than him which is pretty sick.
