Probably confirms that Deschamps is a bit of a pillock more than anything. This is the same guy who didn't start Kosicinely despite being the PL's best defender, instead preferring Sakho and Varane, the latter of which doesn't get too many matches sitting on the bench of Madrid. And who caved into the media pressure of dropping Giroud after the Nigeria game and starting Greizemann, in the process losing Giroud's hold up play and industry and Greizemann's off the bench impact.Originally Posted by ARightTouch
Sagna is the better player imho and removing the bitterness of his cuntish move, I don't think many people on here would disagree with that. However it's not that big of a gap and Debuchy should be able to do a steady reliable job there without needing to be babysat. In the meantime a more long term target like Bellerin can develop so in that sense it's a good move. Besides, there aren't many available instant-ready fullbacks who are as good as Sagna so you've got to take what's available at times.
