LaptopSaint Posted 14 June, 2013 Share Posted 14 June, 2013 Has anyone watched Lyon this past season? In other words, is there anyone on this forum who's actually see him play and can give us a useful opinion rather than spouting bouleshyte. Genuine question.

In other words, is there anyone on this forum who's actually see him play and can give us a useful opinion rather than spouting bouleshyte. Genuine question. He's gone down the pecking order this season at Lyon and some of their fans are happy to see him leave because they were expecting a world-class player and didn't get one. Some issues about his attitude supposedly as well. But I've seen him in a couple of games for Lyon and Croatia and he looks good. Strong, composed on the ball and a decent height.

I have, a few times thanks to my betting expeditions, ha. Wasn't that impressed. He's very rash sometimes, but wins a lot in the air and likes to keep the ball on the ground. Not quite a Rio Ferdinand, not quite a Nemanja Vidic. The EPL might be better suited to him, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewy Posted 14 June, 2013 Share Posted 14 June, 2013 By far and away the most important aspect of this move is that we signed a defender first, so alpine has much less opportunity to whinge this summer about not having our priorities right.

He scathed: "I'm very unhappy, and everything has gone downhill. I was angry at the club because they made me train with the [tendon] rupture. I should have been out of training 45 days. "I'd be lying if I said I feel comfortable at Lyon. I've lost my passion and joy for training, and I never expected to experience that. "Lyon to do appreciate me, and I want to go. I'll do my best when I get a chance and play, and then we'll sit down and see what happens next" Lyon boss Remi Garde dropped Lovren from the squad for his outburst, and made clear his unhappiness with the Croatian's public criticism. He told ESPN: "Dejan is a young player and he was tricked a little bit. Having said that, you can't go against the club and the institution. I've spoken to him about it, and I cannot sanction what he did." Last week, Lovren's Agent Nikki Vuksan told Calciomercato: "What I can confirm is that many clubs in Europe want him, and if someone wants to make an offer, we will talk to them. With the right offer, he will leave" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
