[laughs]
Adam HurreyHOST
Should we have Laurent Blanc as our manager 'cause it's quite funny on that basis alone.
David WalkerHOST
Did you have any suggestions, James?
Michael GranthamHOST
And it was, it looks like he missed, but it was a great block by, I think it was Blanc, wasn't it?

He blocked that.

Yeah.

Nacho DimariGUEST
Laurent Blanc, surprise him,
Laurent BellaicheGUEST
yes.
Laurent BellaicheGUEST
He played in Fiorentina? Yes, he played in Fiorentina and in Inter.
John MerrimanHOST
Why? Because he, when you count it up, there was Dominique...
John MerrimanHOST
There's no reason you should know this, but there was Petit, uh, there was a Blanc, Laurent Blanc, who's from Ales.
John MerrimanHOST
Uh, there was the, uh, quite, uh, some- quite flip in many ways, uh, uh, uh, Barthez, uh, the goalie.
John MerrimanHOST
And did I forget somebody? There was a guy who never- kept missing all the time, um, what's the name, a Breton, I can't remember who.
James BennettGUEST
And you saw that four years later when they won the World Cup with largely the same group of players, except you exchange Cantona and Papan for Zidane and Stéphane Guivache somehow.
James BennettGUEST
So, you know, you've got, you've got your core in terms of, you know, the defense is Marcel Desi, Laurent Blanc.
James BennettGUEST
You've got Didier Deschamps in front of the back four.
James BennettGUEST
You've got, you know, some of the more creative players going forward, like Cantona and Papan and David Ginola who were exceptional talents and showed that in the various different leagues that they played in.
Kyle QuinnHOST
Um, the best defender in the world, uh, in, during that time.
Kyle QuinnHOST
And it's a huge mistake for Fergie to get rid of him for something he said in his book and bringing in the 35-year-old Laurent Blanc, and that cost us the league that season.
Kyle QuinnHOST
Um, yeah, he was a, him and Johnsen obviously were the partnership at the back that brought us that treble winning success in Jaap Stam's first season.
Kyle QuinnHOST
And then he would go on to win the league, um, uh, in, in the two following seasons as well.

GerryGUEST
He wasn't the polished player that he would become or the finished article by any means, um, during those years.
GerryGUEST
And we had Wes Brown and Mikaël Silvestre and players like that coming in.
GerryGUEST
Um, but the year that always sticks out for me, and it was, it's very regret- regrettable, is, uh, 2001-2, um, when Laurent Blanc came in.
GerryGUEST
And look, Blanc was a fabulous defender in, in his younger days, and a really cultured center half for Inter Milan and, and the French national team.
Paul SampsonHOST
You're not fit.
Steve BracknallHOST
Be like fucking Laurent Blanc at Man United.
Steve BracknallHOST
Laurent Blanc.
Steve BracknallHOST
Lovely, classy, very classy.
Paul SampsonHOST
You're a dream.
Frank LeboeufGUEST
Um, I think there is a, a competition which is absolutely good, and uh, and is, uh, absolutely fantastic for Zidane to have the, uh, the choice that he has.
Frank LeboeufGUEST
Uh, but it was again, the same with me, uh, Laurent Blanc, Marcel Desailly, Lilian Thuram at the time, that the Aimé Jacquet, same name, uh, had the chance to choose.
Frank LeboeufGUEST
And uh, that's what it is.
Frank LeboeufGUEST
But, um, I think Kulacura and Upamecano as the first choice, and uh, and um, Jacquet is the big surprise, but he would have to be a little bit patient.
