No different to the UK thenYou don't really have to dig deep to know that France has deep-lying issues with racism

Bit like mad Mario. Every now and again we need a spark. For the price quoted it’s worth taking the chance.Get this guy
we need flair in the squad
We need a nutter
Hes a character.
And a decent player who will get better
AgreedHow could I forget the main suspect! :)
I wouldn't even class Grealish as been a pain for the club, Far from it.
He's a treble winner and a huge part our success especially that season.
Well said.Agreed
Mendy was hugely overrated - yes good going forward but horrendous defensively.
Grealish as much as I dont think he has been very good on the pitch, he hasnt done anything bad. I thkn watching and listening to him he needs some help. He clearly struggles with the mental pressure and I wonde if he has ADHD or something like that. He needs someone advising him to deal with the pressure of being a professional footballer.....
Not saying he is anyway like Gazza (or has the same issues) but he was a likeable kid at one point just having fun and a lot of pressure and limelight
It's just a weird point to argue. Society (and media) has picked and selected who they want to treat like shit for centuries.That's got nothing to do with a player being called racist. 99% of the France team is from Africa - they're not all referred to as "lazy". It's utter nonsense
Good watch, really skillful, 2 footed.
But the point is not watching HIM, but how the defenders defend!
Very fair, no pushing, holding, hugging, catching so the artist of playing a ball with his feet can shine - according to the rules in place.
Now over to the PL, where for strange reasons all that unlawful defending is allowed to destroy any creative play. Cherki would be frustrated after 10 mins by opponents and even more by refs permanently waving play on...
Just wanted to point out that PL is a different universe, sadly.
I truly hate that.
Are you saying we could enjoy a bit more of this?Bit like mad Mario. Every now and again we need a spark. For the price quoted it’s worth taking the chance.
Colin Bell makes that look rather expensive, no?The best "cheap" player we've ever signed was Kompany for 6 n' half million squid.
His delivery was always ridiculous though. He had one cross, which was to fire it across the box at the speed of a missile.Agreed

European refs though, not Pigmol/FA philosophy...True!
Funny thing is, the french teams this season in Europe have done well against English teams defences
With decent European refs though.True!

He also signed Laporte, who was French when we bought him. And Mahrez is basically French. Let's be honest, Sagna and Clichy were both a bit old by then, and Nasri had injury problems (only ever played 52 games in four seasons after leaving us) and Mangala was always shit, but particularly unsuited to Guardiola's tactics.I could understand if Pep was unsure. He inherited 3 French players from Manuel and got rid pretty quick. His only other foray into the French gene pool was ... enough said. Of course I may be assuming to much!
Having said that I do hope he's up for this one.

It was a decent chunk of change in 1966 for a 19 year old.Colin Bell makes that look rather expensive, no?
