I'm thrilled for the guy. But I didn't want to jinx him by writing something positive.;-) I've still got my fingers crossed that he'll be able to save Nantes from relegation.

I’ve still got my fingers crossed that he’ll be able to save Nantes from relegation.

Is it just me, or does anyone else agree that this team has sorely lacked leadership ever since Zizou retired? If anyone could pull the team together, it would have to be Thuram. By the way Laurie, a little off topic but did you hear Fabien Barthez actually saved a penalty in a shootout the other day for Nantes? I agree.

I've also been wondering about that. I think Thuram would be the logical choice. Although Henry probably thinks differently. (I think it would be really stupid to put Henry in a leadership position after the whole melon énorme event from December.) And Trezeguet? Poor Trezeguet. Between World Cup and Serie B, all the spark and spirit seems to have gone out of him this year. I'd also be fine with Sagnol, who will apparently be taking over the captain's armband at Bayern Munich if Kahn ever actually retires. (Seriously, I think his ego could keep him going for years. Poor Willy.) But my own opinion is that Thuram is the best choice for pulling the team together. Good question. I’ve also been wondering about that. I think Thuram would be the logical choice.

Lillian Thuram? Thierry Henry? David Trezeguet (who captained the team for all of 3 minutes in the World Cup)? My personal hope is that it will be Willy Sagnol, my current favorite Bleu.
