Ligue 1 is "trash" but every big club is milking the talent
Carrasco, James, Martial, Payet, Aubameyang, Coman, Hazard, Lacazette, Michy, Marquinhos, Verratti, Aurier, Zouma, Umtiti, Digne...
The league is only trash until your favorite teams come through and raid the talent
Its only "trash" because a french team isn't rotating out of the CL final.
can't forget those young up and comers ousmane and moussa dembele. all been thru ligue un youth camps but im schleep oon ligue un dont produce quality nor has competition

having talented players does not mean the league is good.
But Sevilla and Real Sociedad would?
are sevilla and real sociedad leading la liga? no.
the fact that nice and monaco are actually leading the league shows how bad league one is.
you started the argument off with the 56 goals thing.
they wouldn't have 56 goals in any other league
I didn't even start off an argument
. I posted a stat that impresses whether its Ligue 1, La Liga, or the Prem. To score 56 goals while also still competing in the CL and only 1 win away from dominating your league on goal difference for the next month is impressive. Point blank. Thats a massive achievement for it to only be December and your backup striker is a 17 year old who just put up a hat trick.
Had that been a young english kid, he would be all over the metro transfer rumors. Whether he played against an upper tier English club or a club facing relegation.
Had this been Sevilla or Inter, you guys would be posting about it and how it proves how competitive and unpredictable these leagues are. But since is France, its "trash"
Leicester city runs rampant last year and its an amazing testament of how great the Prem is, but Nice and Monaco are balling out of control, holding the 4x ligue 1 giants back from dominating, and its "trash".
Had it been Wolfburg and Leverkusen over Bayern, it would be a "class league".
But France is trash.
And you're talking about Monaco like they aren't one of the TOP french clubs in history... Like they don't produce some of the best players, and aren't one of the most popular french clubs in the world. Ask a french person about football and they'll probably say Lyon, Marseille, or Monaco before PSG. Despite me liking PSG so much (because of the Zlatan man and their fire kits), PSG isn't that big in comparison. Many professional french players don't even like PSG, hence why they don't want to go back and play for them despite how much money they have. Now that Monaco is rolling in the dough, and once Lyon and Marseille catch up, you'll see more players sticking around.
My point was never that Ligue 1 is the best league in the world. Its that Ligue 1 isn't trash. Its a quality league that produces quality talent, and if you watch enough games, its just as exciting as Serie A, La Liga, and even the Bundesliga. The level of teams aren't as strong across the board as say a La Liga or Bundesliga or Prem, but to call it a trash league because Barcelona, RM, Bayern, or Juve doesn't play there is wild talk. PSG is only 40some odd years old...
Producing talented players doesn't mean the league as a whole is class.
The Eredivisie has constantly given us high level players, but that doesn't mean the league is good. They have a close title race every year as well.
You're right, it doesn't. But both UEFA and the IFFHS both rank French Lugue 1 as the 5th strongest league in the world.

Not the internet, not NT, not youtube comments section... But the world.
Its not just me saying its a class league, stats prove its a class league.
And the players I posted aren't just good players. Most of them are key players to their teams. Coming from a "trash" league.
I'm not saying Ligue 1 is the strongest, or even near the strongest league in the world. I'm saying, its quality. And this season its more exciting than ever. Its the 5th ranked league out of 54 ranked UEFA leagues on the planet. Its literally top 5. Thats hardly trash.
But its something I not only see on NT on a regular basis, but all over. Just because peoples favorite teams don't play there.
