M'baye Niang is meant to be the next big hope for French football. A tall and rangy striker with pace, power and potential. He's a good shout.

Is Yaya Sanogo at Auxerre or is he at a different club? I heard good things about that young lad too.
Yes, Yaya Sanogo is another great talent from Auxerre. Interesting player. Like I say, in Franch you have so many good players, so it is difficult to mention everyone. You will in general do quite well if you decide to sign players from Ligue 1 or Ligue 2. Even lower actually.

So, in France have they set up a new system? One where the best players are relegated? I mean, there are so many great players in France, it's a wonder that people think the league poor. They are the best at football, and they have the obvious advantage of having African parentage.

In general, managers in France as well does not have the right sense of what a good team is, and that is the main reason why Lyon only finished 4th and Auxerre got relegated.

Also when you look at the squad Laurent Blanc selected. This is not the best french squad, in my opinion. I find it really strange that so many managers have a bad sense. That is why Spurs need to be very selective when they choose the next manager. It is very important to have a manager who has a good sense of what a good team is. Very few have this.

We should get Kony in to run the club, he'd round up an army of talent that SK would jizz over...

Man the Longboats, set sail across the Channel!

Make sure you have your broad-swords and battle-axes.

Ignore the footballers, take their wives and material goods instead!

Hmmmm top row, second and third from the right plus all of them on the front row apart from the dude on the end (right-side)? :p

Much as I'm pained to say, the French have a good generation coming through at the moment, the only thing stopping them would be their own arrogance.

I think that Alexandre Lacazette, Loic Remy, B.Gomis, should all be in this team. Also Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa and Sakho should be on the pitch.

Mandanda should play instead of Lloris - That is for sure!!

M'Vila - Lassana Diarra - Blaise Matuidi should all be in midfield.

I can mention more candidates, but it indicates that the team they have now is not the best they can select. That is my point.

Which is the odd one out????






Seriously SK... Give it a rest. Can you name one player that is not African or of African descent that is realistic and you would consider a good player for Spurs to sign?
