I meant the profile of Zirkzee but also physically up to it! I like Joao Pedro.
Something something love of the club la
Taking this here so we dont pollute the transfer threads and angry the mods to the point that they delete them, because that's how I follow transfers most of the time.
Yeah, I was honestly expecting Moses Simon to step up to a bigger club, but if Paris FC are going to be this ambitious, then I can see why Simon would be attracted to such a move. They can become a well-established Ligue 1 side if they keep themselvse up, and I can see them attracting loads of players who aren't good enough for PSG. Where do you think Nantes will go after this? Last season, they did just enough to avoid a long-term relegation battle, but could they be dragged into one in the upcoming season?
I dont understand how no european club has ever looked at him, I'm very happy about this but he has literally fallen through the cracks despite being super consistent as one of the best wingers in L1. He's not good enough for the highest level but he's too good to be at Nantes this long. I honestly thought we were past him leaving as he's reaching 30, but as I said I would try to accomodate him as he's been loyal and in the past 20 years good players havent been loyal to us (I dont really blame them, we're a mess).
We still have the worst president in world football.Many teams have incompetent leadership at the top, but as long as Nantes has a good coaching and playing staff, they should be able to work around him. It'll be tougher for them to continuously find good and/or promising young players to replace their current outgoing players, though. It seems like there's way more competition for those kind of players than there used to be.Either way we're a team that battles relegation every season, and that's going to be the case this season as well. If we manage to get a good start then we can reevaluate but I'm not too hopeful
The problem is that he's been here for 20 years and nothing is changing. He thinks he's some kind of football genius who's incredibly unlucky but he's just dumb as a rock. He and his son are running the whole club, from transfers to coaching. They make transfers without consulting the coach, and they change coach once or twice every season because they dont do everything they say.
What a shame. Nantes doesn't deserve to be treated like this. There are way too many of these rich morons who think they know it all because they played FM one time and believe that they can do the same thing in real life. I still remember that one screenshot of Woodward playing FM on his laptop whilst on the plane.The problem is that he's been here for 20 years and nothing is changing.

Anytime we produce a good player he sells them for cheap at the first opportunity because he's afraid of losing out on potential money. And we used to have the best academy in France and had a monopoly over the north-west part which is a big talent pool but he's let it go to waste and now Rennes is dominating the region and we're now a 2nd tier academy that produces one good player every other year.
I assume you know about the great history of the club so it's a depressing to see it being used to play real life Football Manager by a moron who's not even rich. My kids are PSG fans because we live in Paris and "why would we support Nantes when they always lose and you're always angry when you watch them". I hate Kita
That's the thing, he's not even rich. I mean he's rich by normal standards (I think he's worth like €200M) but not by football owners standards. It's like Boehly at Chelsea except he's actually rich. I wouldnt mind as much if he was this loaded
At least the club can be good enough to not sink further and further unless Kita decides to start taking money out of the club and into his pockets.That's the thing, he's not even rich.

We got relegated and always bounced back instantly, we're a midtable L1 club when it comes to finances so in L2 we're a titan. We have one of the biggest stadiums with a high attendance and there's still a huge area in the north-west where I grew up that is Nantes territory only.
We're stuck in that purgatory of battling relegation every season. The French Cup is our only hope at having any kind of success, our runs in 22 and 23 are my best memory in the past 20 years. The only way things will change is someone else buying the club.
Yea the club is not in danger to be in Bordeaux's situation. I dont think he's the type to line his own pocket unless he is somehow desperate. He put quite a bit of money into the club when he bought it, made some big transfers but it failed badly and we got relegated. He quickly realized he didnt have the bankroll to play that game and since then he's been cheap but he still put a bit more money a couple times. I honestly think he wants to do right and thinks he does but he's just an idiot who does everything wrong and keeps doing it.
This is really interesting, and a discussion that isn't had very much. In your analysis, how do you factor in the team around the striker? Are there good examples of striker's shot volumes increasing drastically when switching teams?
That would be a successful window in my eyes.
You'd struggle to get them to offer 15m lira
Not really surprised about Sancho and Rashford because of wages and Garnacho because of the asking price, but the lack of rumours around Antony is weird. Out of all the offensive rejects you loaned he had the best season and is on affordable wages, there should be more clubs interested. I wonder what kind of fee the club is asking for him.
Are you expecting him to say that he thinks they're hopeless and have no long-term role here? Think that'd be good for the prospects of selling them?
Sure as hell isn't helping sell Garnacho. If Nunez goes to Napoli I think you can close the door on him leaving the PL. Isak would probably move to Liverpool and then I can see Newcastle going after a ST that we might want
Exactly. Shitting on our players in public is clearly counterproductive. Not sure why so many seem to want him to do it.
Exposing the likes of Hojlund on the world stage week in-week out has done much more damage to their value (and the results) than benching them citing ´not suited to the system´.
Latte for me too. Best to get bad influences away from the squad asap
