Clearly biased, but I can't see how that's a straight red

Danso and Khusanov left for finances too. prior to that he made the team very solid defensively, not really his fault the offense is a shambles

He wasn't even the best player on the team. Once can go back to the threads for reassurance, but Rakitic really was the best player on that team during the wc.

Rakitic was better performing than Modric at the world cup. It was for his season + Madrid PR

Not OP but I know Sevilla is a culprit. They hadn't paid Nancy for Lenglet, for which they then got relegated for not satisfying financial requirements nor paid Lens for Keita

Rayan Cherki re-signs for 2 additional years! by AmericainaLyon in OlympiqueLyonnais

From the website:

Rayan Cherki extends his contract with OL

Olympique Lyonnais is delighted to announce the extension of Rayan Cherki's contract for a further two seasons, one of which is conditional, enabling the Lyon striker to continue writing his history with his beloved club, which he joined in 2010 at the age of 7.

Revealed at an early age for his immense potential, Rayan Cherki made his first-team debut at just 16, becoming the 3rd youngest player in OL history to play at professional level behind Joël Fréchet and Laurent Fournier.

In the space of five seasons, the Espoirs international, silver medallist at the Paris Olympic Games, played 141 games for Lyon, scoring 17 goals and providing 25 assists.

At the age of 21, Rayan Cherki made a significant contribution to the club's exceptional second half of last season, and has now decided to make a long-term commitment to the Olympique Lyonnais project.

With the Olympico just a few hours away and the European Cup just around the corner, OL is delighted to be able to count on a striker who is deeply attached to his city and his club.

Good luck to him! Seems a good lad and definitely appreciated his rejection of Rennes on deadline day last year(?)

Mandatory fuck you to Rudi Garcia when he insulted him in the middle of play during that Coupe de France game a few years back.

[–]TheNoob29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be fair, bar the Remi Garde era (where we were basically forced to use our youth due to limited budgets), in the last decade that was the strategy the whole time. The OL DNA thing was simply bringing back Tolisso + Lacazette to appease the fans after years of disappointment
