Interesting read about their academy. Seems a pretty strict routine.

Cracking read that mate, thanks. Their head of academy being an ex teacher does not surprise me too much. Huge emphasis on education in academies in France. I also know school teachers who coach and they are often very good. Who better to explain things to an 8 or 9 year old, than someone who has trained for years in how best to explain things to an 8 or 9 year old.

one year loan with option to purchase

Upon arriving at SAFC, Michut said: “I had a fantastic experience at Paris Saint-Germain, but now I’m ready for a new challenge and I’m very happy to be here. I travelled to the Stadium of Light on Saturday to watch the game against Norwich City and the atmosphere inside the stadium was unbelievable. This is an opportunity for me to level up as a player and I always wanted to play in England, but I also like the project and that is why I’m here. My preparation for the season has been good and I’m ready to help the team.”
 
Michut continued to train and feature for the senior team throughout the campaign, lining up alongside the likes of Lionel Messi and Neymar, and was part of the squad that faced Real Madrid in the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League.

"Hey Edouard - meet Luke your new centre midfield partner"

Hopefully he'll be able to deal with the step up.
 
PSG fans do not like Michut like. Disrespectful is a word I’m seeing a lot.

they don't like that he wanted to leave to get first team football rather then play for their reserve side and leave in a couple of years instead.

Personally I admire the lads confidence to get out of the easy environment he had there and go and make a name for himself in, frankly, not the most International renowned glamorous locations

The very fact they're angry at him tells me we have a player. if he was rubbish they wouldn't care.
