What happened with Ligue 1 and their DM talent pool. Last couple of big names to come to the prem have been duds to a degree (Bakayoko, Ndombele and now Soumare).
They used to be ground zero for that classic DM/6.
Word on the street is Olise is actually leaning more to France / Algeria.
Lookman is a good pick, especially if he can give us good deliveries on the wing unlike Simon. Eze is a must flip.
Well they left too soon in their development stage. They all had like 1 good season then moved on
Bakayoko is more of a ball winner and runner than a screen. Only looks good in a double divot where he needs to play next to a sitter who will allow him to break up the play and drive forward. Well Kante does that and better a pointless signing by Chelsea.
Ndombele has to play in a possession team. The total opposite to what the Spurs coaches play except Poch but he was gone soon after signing him. Also Ndombele is probably more an 8 in a midfield 3 at this stage of his career than a 6
Soumare too early to say. Not playing in a settled midfield/team hasn't helped him.
