I don't watch it. I occasionally watch the odd PSG game to see how Poch is doing with an ensemble of superstars, get bored at the drab football, and turn off.If you think the league is that bad why are you watching it?

Says a lot about the strength of the French league.
I genuinely think our bottom tier past managers like Moyes and Ole would win the league with PSG, its that bad over there.
Oh I have no doubt that there'll be outliers. But given a few seasons, a manager like Ole could definitely win the league with PSG. Especially considering the squad he'd have at his disposal and the chasm of resources and quality that exists between PSG and the next best French sides.Emery who is definitely a better manager than Olé did lose the league there. And PSG lost it last season with Tuchel and Poch at the wheel. Also better managers than Olé.
If it was only pre season then yeah not too much to worry about, i was worried he was approaching Hazard levels of professionalism.He appeared once for pre season with a bit more weight on his ribs, nothing to worry about, as you shed that surplus fat during pre season anyway. I would be happy if Shaw was only carrying a bit more weight in pre season.
I agree, if your barometer on if a league is good or not is by judging their performance in Europe then yes France comes up short. But it's still a very good league to watch especially if watching a game that doesn't involve PSG and yes it's good for watching emerging talent as well. There are some very big teams in France historically so it's a shame it get's taken the piss out of so regularly, but i think a lack of spending power and mismanagement is a problem there.Ligue 1 is the league I watch the most highlights of after the PL and Serie A.
It's a pretty fun league to watch to be honest outside of PSG, there's a lot of up and coming teams and the French league is like the factory of emerging talent, there's a lot of interesting players there.
Every time I watch PSG they lose. But they’re always like 16 points clear.
I’d take any of Ben Yeddar, Martins or Tchouaméni to be fair. They’d all improve us.That Monaco RW Martins looks a tidy player. Can supposedly play RB too. Could be a decent squad option.
His name isn’t footballery enough for me. He could score 100 goals a season and he’d still sound like someone who should play for Sevilla.
Deary me, takes until 15th till you get to a non PSG player
A classic example of when stats tell you a different story than reality. PSG looks dominant in Ligue 1 on the stats, and yet always looked second best for large chunks of most of their games in the league. If it wasn't for Mbappe bailing them out, sometimes with last second goals, this team would be looking over its shoulder by now in the league.Only 2 of the top 23 are non-PSG players & UTD Poch lovers say, "Well, he can't be that bad they are 12 points clear in the league"
Neymar 4 millions € per month to miss half Ligue 1 games and get injured in crucial UCL games.
It has to be one of the biggest flops in modern football, top 3 at least.
Lucky PSG has all the money in the world, so they can burn money just like that, and still do fine financially.
Wonder who is PSG gonna sign after kicking Neymar...Ronaldo? Lewandowski? Benzema?
Can see PSG going for an old world class player in his last legs, and of course he isn't gonna do shit in the UCL due to his advanced age, and PSG fans will get mad again...rinse and repeat.

Neymar and Mbappe both with 3 goals tonight. Messi with 3 assists.
The other twos stats hold more weight as they are against more competitive competition.Mbappe has been ridiculous this season, 5 goals and 4 assists his last two games. He's got the most goal involvement right now for the season out of anybody in Europe at 52 g/a in 38 games. Benzema and Lewandowski right behind at 50 g/a.
Check out the Benzema vs Lewandowski thread, people will discount anything all the way up until they get to the PL because this is what fans do in general (not all). I couldn't care less, because Mbappe does it anywhere he plays besides the Euro in his career. It's an irrelevant point to me in assessing just how great he's been, especially if you see how dysfunctional that PSG team has been throughout the season.The other twos stats hold more weight as they are against more competitive competition.
I think that’s why Mbappe really needs to leave, no one gets excited about 3 goals vs the mighty Clermont foot. He needs to play against better comp.
I don’t mean the EPL but in this case this point I think is valid when considering who the best player in the world has been for example.Check out the Benzema vs Lewandowski thread, people will discount anything all the way up until they get to the PL because this is what PL fans do in general (not all).

They actually don't, not even a little bit when it comes to things of relevance like awards, Ligue 1 is not Austria or Holland, and it's a harder league to score in than the Bundesliga for what it's worth.I don’t mean the EPL but in this case this point I think is valid when considering who the best player in the world has been for example.
Lewa and Benzemas numbers hold significantly more weight then what Mbappe is doing against Clermont foot or FC Metz.
If he wants to get more consideration and recognition he needs to go to a big club and then perform against Better opposition.
Once again your getting what I am saying confused.They actually don't, not even a little bit when it comes to things of relevance like awards, Ligue 1 is not Austria or Holland, and it's a harder league to score in than the Bundesliga for what it's worth.
Mbappe has been regularly talked about as possibly being the best player in the world now, he's regularly in the top of the individual awards and this season again. Wherever he moves, he will dominate, anybody who still doubts that about him at this point, I'm not really trying to hear their opinion. He's more than proven 5 years on and it's plain for anybody to see, whether it's Ligue 1, CL, International football. Do you really think Mbappe wouldn't wreck the Bundesliga if he was there with all those open spaces on the counter? Or with an average Real Madrid leading by double-digits in that Liga? Be serious...
This just reeks of 'can't do it on a cold night in stoke' and that just doesn't apply to players of that caliber, but we can all have our opinions. Regardless, I'm certain Mbappe will move on within a year or so, it won't be a question in your mind then and we'll all be able to rest easy.
Swear i read about him in one of Molina's leaks. Saying he was on loan there last season with a buy option but did well so PSG cut the loan at the end of the season before they could activate the buy option. They thought they could get a higher price from someone else but no one came in so they sent him back to Lens this season as well, think it was something like that but my memory's sketchy.Really like the look of Kalimuendo at Lens. Think he's on loan from PSG, but think he could be someone who could be a good pickup for someone if PSG don't have space for him.
I'll have to look that up, I'd not heard about that.Swear i read about him in one of Molina's leaks.

But surely PSG need to start integrating their young players into the first team squad, they'll have a better attitude for starters. They've produced some really good players over the last 10 years that they've let go including players like Nkunku.

Yeah, Diaby is another one. Maybe Poch can start doing that next season, but I'm yet to really see him do that at PSG.
So is Kalimuendo actually a lens player?They sold these players due to FFP.
You're saying what every PSG fans want for a long time, but we just keep letting go of these gems for nothing and with Michut and Simons sitting through some recent pastings in Ligue 1 (Michut did get about 8 minutes last game), they will be the next ones not to renew and go elsewhere and may shine in a few years.Swear i read about him in one of Molina's leaks.
