To be fair, Juninho Pernambuco did play then.
Where has these types of players gone.

Given that late 2000’s would imply 2007 onwards I think this proves exactly what GC said

Id say late 07-08 to 12-13 where there were six different champions would probably be more suitable.
But outside of that, 18 of the last 25 titles being won by two teams ensures that it is a certified Farmers Ligue.
For what it’s worth GC also mentioned Lille having to sell key players.
It wasn’t much better back then. Lille won in 2011-12 and got savaged. Bordeaux lost Gourcuff. Montpellier etc.
Plus Lyon had an excellent set of academy players constantly coming through
That’s the period I was talking about, essentially up until the Qataris becoming the majority owners of PSG in 2012.

Any domestic league with a knockout format at the end is garbage.
Congrats to to ligue 1 getting even worse
This is an awful idea.
that’s some “two wrongs make a right”-logic right there.

How long do we give it before someone in the PL decides to take a risk on him?
Personally, I can’t see that happening anytime soon, if ever. Getafe and Marseille got huge backlash for signing him, think it’d be even worse if an English club were to sign him.
Greenwood super impressive this season, quality talent on the pitch tbf, that was never in question.
Well he’s switching to Jamaica, so that’ll be interesting. Not how I visioned Jamaica getting good players but eh he’s going to stat-pad the competition over there.
Still can’t believe his case got dropped, fucking cunt.
Hope no PL club bites. Leave him in France.
Meanwhile the PL enters year 10 (at least) of everybody knowing City shit all over the rules yet nothing actually done.

The PL launched a multi year investigation and are currently ‘prosecuting’ as a result of that investigation.
