Hello! I'm not familiar with PSV or the Dutch league but i'd like to know how good has this lad been in his last games of pre-season. Could any fan give me their honest opinions about him? Thank you in advance

Hello everyone, I want to preface this by saying I won't be doing this for every Ligue 1 club, if anyone else wants to do other clubs they're more than welcome to do so, I figured since the season is starting next weekend now would be a good time to make this. Shamelessly stealing the template for the PL preview, so all credit to /u/NickTM for that one. If anyone makes a Toulouse/to lose pun I will force feed them cassoulet until they fart themselves to death. Forza Viola

The 2017-2018 exercise was horrendous for Toulouse, finishing in 18th place, synonymous with a relegation playoff against the winner of the ligue 2 gauntlet, in this case AC Ajaccio. Fortunately, circumstances made it relatively trivial to put the Corsican team away 4-0 on aggregate (they had to play their home game on neutral ground due to their fans being major knobs, and their star goalkeeper got injured just before halftime in the first game)
The summer season proved fruitful, the board managing high-money sales in Issa Diop for around 25 million euros to West Ham, a club record sale, and wonderkid goalkeeper Alban Lafont to Fiorentina for a reported fee of around 8 million, among other departures, and securing the crucial permanent signing of Max Gradel from Bournemouth after a brilliant season on loan where he quite literally single-handedly saved the team from relegation, scoring important goal after important goal, becoming an immediate fan favourite. He was then appointed captain. Other important signings include goalkeeper Baptiste Reynet from Dijon, right-winger Mathieu Dossevi (political affiliation unknown, twitter legend) from freshly relegated FC Metz and highly rated prospect Manuel Garcia on loan from Manchester City.
The 2018/2019 season started very well for Toulouse, despite a 4-0 thrashing on opening day against Marseille at the Vélodrome, which saw the very first use of VAR in Ligue 1 afford a penalty to Marseille just before halftime. T
