Depends what you mean by bigger club. If you mean Man Utd and Chelsea I agree. If you mean the likes of Spurs, Villa and even Liverpool I think he might choose us.
This. But really it is time to up our interest big time. Make a bid ffs.
Basically, according to L'Equipe, we are looking for a defensive midfielder (in this case Matuidi) to accompany Cabaye (which makes no sense as we've got Tiote). But Saint-Etienne haven't received any offers as yet. Matuidi's fee is fixed at 15 million euros.

Sounds like kind of guy that would do well with a good midfield behind him. He also has age on his side.
If we can get him cheap because his stock is at a low eb then it could turn out to be a decent deal. Like I said before, if the scouts think he's good then I trust their judgement.
What's with his inflated price tag then if he's s****?
I think Psg paid 10m or so for him, and he has had a few ok games but he is certainly not top class, when you pay 10m you aren't going to let him go for 3 or 4. I have seen a few Psg games but friends of mine who are season ticket holders say they would drive him here. The sort of player who could have an open goal from 3 yards out but you wouldn't get out of your seat till you had checked the videprinter to confirm a goal.
Yet he's averaged a goal every 2.3 games for PSG. How many open goal chances do they create??
And was voted their player of the year for the 2009/10 season.
That's how the French pronounce it, so I'm inclined to go with that!
FWIW, 'ch' is a sound that doesn't exist in French. Pretty sure it's Erdinch. Oh, god, I don't care.
Isn't Charlotte a French name?
In French, they pronounce "ch" as "sh".
