featuring "The Toon" in the middle of floating fans traveling to Newcastle on Tuesday night, a tribute to the last wave of talent from all channels tricolor. In France, meanwhile, all waving a handkerchief stained with tears as fires Ligue 1 an increasing number of high level players. More most likely to come before the transfer window closes on Thursday.

When French President Fran?ois Hollande has announced its intention to impose a 75% tax on the salaries of players, I thought it was going to be celebrated as an equal. Many supported the proposal, but football clubs were horrified and complained that it would be "the death of French football" and against-productive, as it could cause an exodus of players and get nothing but the ruin of clubs because TV revenue and attendances would fall. believes that the league would cost € 1000000000000 French clubs. Holland eventually backed down, however, the exodus of players from Ligue 1 is gaining ground.

Lille Eden Hazard departure for the European champions, Chelsea, was a gesture that everyone concerned, as Olivier Giroud to Arsenal. People have long been accustomed to such transfers, especially since the 1990s, when France became a major exporter of talent, as the fruit of Clairefontaine was taken by the biggest clubs in England, Italy, Spain and Germany. But now, ranging from low-ranking international foreign clubs.

With power increasingly globalized football, there is an increasing flow of players who choose to imitate M'Vila and head to Russia, Turkey, the Middle East, China and Brazil.

In the past, as a striker Guillaume Hoarau Loic Remy or could go to other French clubs once they become surplus to PSG and Marseille, respectively, but the clubs can not compete if Remy St?phane Mbia followed QPR and Aerbin Hoarau went to Dalian in China. Similarly, the Brazilian midfielder Nene, a leader of the Ligue 1 assist providers in recent seasons, has left PSG and Lille to Lyon, but for Al Gharafa, Qatar.
