Didnt see the natch bar a few highlights but from reports Massengo impressed again and was ithe player nterviewed after the game. The commentators often mention how playing in the championship has made him the pkayer he is. Good to see him doing well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh Louie louie Posted February 26, 2023 Report Share Posted February 26, 2023 We couldn't give him away and the only club that wanted him was desparate but if he gave a good interview after the match thats all that matters this may boost our compo I agree 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's what they mean by making him the player he now is, he is stronger, faster and more robust than when he first arrived. Not enough for the rigor of the championship every week but when you go to a league like France most of the teams are below championship quality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never quite worked out here, but that’s not that shabby at all. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You look at the infrastructure and academies at clubs like Lyon and they are superb. Better than anything at Championship level in this country and most of the lower Premier league aswell. Most of the clubs i mentioned regularly hold their own in the Champions league or Europa league aswell. As you said the style is slower but technically there are some very good players in ligue 1. We all know right now Premier league is without a doubt the best league in the world but i think it has gone to the heads of some people in this country in recent years. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
