kingxlnc Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Have France ever had a poor generation of players? Even the one's that hadn't achieved the heights, had some crazy talent, even our own super talented Ben Arfa was nothing but a fringe player. I remember they didn't qualify for USA 1994, but even then, they had Ginola, Cantona, etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazzaschicken Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 So if the contract length etc is correct (6 years) how is that feasible since uefa changed the limit to 5 years starting this summer so everyone doesn't do a Chelsea FFP maneuver Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 5 year limit is only for FFP calculations. You can't amortize the fee over 6, 7, 8 years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 On 22/06/2023 at 19:21, The Prophet said: Expand Speed of thought is definitely one that sticks out watching him. I get the point TCD is making about not having great passing ability in terms of distance, or accuracy over a distance of sliding players in etc, but what he does seemingly have is a really impressive short pass under pressure. Like Joe and Bruno tbf he looks like a high turnover player with the ability to put himself in trouble and play a quick, smart, simple pass out. Looks like he often looks to receive it after too and look forward. Im excited. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
