but there are so many white players that have been unfairly left out for this list, it's crazy
maybe when i'll have time i'll do a complete list
in the central defender position alone there are:
-laporte
-perrin ( http://www.castefootball.us/forums/showthread.php/13607-French-Soccer?p=296627&viewfull=1#post296627 )
-jeremy mathieu (he has been outstanding with valencia in that position: http://www.insidespanishfootball.com/108433/luis-enrique-asks-barcelona-to-sign-jeremy-mathieu/ )
deschamps even made it pretty clear that he would never call mexes again while he's doing great in italy
well, atleast he didn't call mapoo yanga mbiwa, kurt zouma or eric abidal
Barcelona sign Mathieu
The 30-year-old, who can operate at left-back or centre-back, has signed a four-year deal with the option of a further year.
There is also a £40million buy-out clause in the Frenchman's contract.
Six foot four inch Mathieu started his career with Sochaux, before joining Toulouse and then Valencia in 2009, going on to make 177 appearances for the La Liga side.
Two of Mathieu's four goals last season came against Real Madrid.
Also a full international, albeit with only two caps to date, Mathieu's signing is seen by many in Spain to be filling the gap in Barcelona's defence left by the retired Carlos Puyol.
Its sickening really.This guy had a great season at Valencia and yet pieces of shi* like Sakho and Evra went on the plane to Brazil.Not to mention Varane,who can't get a game in the same league.
Still,I won't expect things to change.Apparently,being good enough for Barcelona isn't enough to be a part of the French national team:dizzy:.If anything,we'll witness the "young","fast","pacy","athletic" and "Exciting" :mmph: Kurt Zouma play for France soon,with no DWF questioning what he has achieved to warrant a place.Not that any Chelsea fanboys questioned the transfer or the high fee(12 m)...he's young and black,I mean what can go wrong,right?
Of course,stupid DWFs are having a right laugh at Barcelona,calling Mathieu overpriced and questioning the sanity of the Barcelona management.They simply cannot see past Mathieu's age.I'm expecting to see someone who's never watched him play say that he's slow soon.The guy simply can't win in their eyes.He's white.
