Know much about Lyon?

[Alpha]

Probably why Valencia, Real and Barcelona tried to sign him.

What do you mean by "tried"?

When clubs like that really "try" to sign somebody, they generally do.

Yeah and Barcelona wanted Biscan too...

[Craig_H]

Wasn't he meant to be compared with our Stevie? Shows how mediocre he is

By his mum, maybe...

[Craig_H]

Depends when you seen him. He pretty much is the heartbeat of the Lyon side. At Sweden, they undermime him for some reason and play players like Anders Svensson and Nicklas Alexandersson.

Last time i saw them, he was picking splints...

Valencia offered £12m for him but Lyon turned them down. Bacelona signed Toure instead and Real signed Sneijder.

Obviously you rate Kallstrom AF.

How would you rate him in terms of other major European midfielders?

Is he as good as Xavi, Sneijder, Pirlo etc?

[Dalglish]

I know that they'll beat Rangers

Mind you I could do that

So, instead of "trying" to sign Kallstrom, you could have said:

Valencia weren't willing to offer more than £12 million and Real and Barcelona went elsewhere.

Is that an endorsement of his credentials?



FWIW, I think Kallstrom is a decent player without uprooting any trees.

[Dalglish]

I tried to sign Kallstrom

In an AF sense

ie I didnt

I think he is an excellent hard working central/left sided midfielder. He won't deliver fancy flicks and tricks but he will always do a very good job on the pitch.

Like Sissoko do for us.

[MrsB]

Does Govou still play for them?

We've been linked with him a few times in the past?

Not sure if he's ever been up to much though.

Yes, he's still there. He scored vs Lille a week ago.

No, definitely not. Like AFII said Kallstrom is hard working, but nothing special. He's not even a regular starter at Lyon.

Lyon is by the Rhone and Saone rivers if I remember correctly. Its a pleasant city - I think the second biggest in France. Well worth a visit.

[Craig_H]

Benzema was class again tonight. Looks a superb prospect. Probably already very costly.

LFC should really hire me as a scout

[slimbimjim]

They are all French nationals so won't be playing in the African Cup

Kallstrom is a good player but I don't think he could cut it in the premiership. He would be decent in an average side here. Good player, but not good enough, IMO.
