Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)
I just found that Olivier Giroud returned to Ligue 1 after signing a 1 year contract with Lille. He was playing in USA, precisely in Los Angeles and apparently he wants to return home once for all. I assume this short contract was done because of his age. Lille will evaluate the player before doing an extension and if he fails, he will try to find a weaker team to end his career with, maybe.
In another news, we might see Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang returning to Ligue 1 or finding a better contract elsewhere since he seems to end his contract with his Saudi Pro League team.

Honestly, Olivier Giroud made a good decision, the American football league is of much lower quality compared to Ligue1, he is 38 years old, in Ligue1 he could still play for 2 seasons and then he could retire in a memorable way.

Last season Auxerre failed to achieve good results in Ligue 1, but at least they managed to stay in the league. It would have been worse for them if they had been relegated. This season they reached an agreement with Brighton to have Ibrahim Osman on loan, with an option to buy for €16m. Ibrahim Osman is a very young player, he is only 20 years old and plays as a striker. He played 22 games, scored 3 goals and made 3 assists last season. These are not very encouraging numbers.
