Just a depressing post, really.

First things first, the last few weeks have been very hectic in my "real life" because I've fallen behind in my research, and as a doctoral student, my adviser is not happy with me, which is why I've had to take a vacation from the soccer blogosphere. So you can imagine my disappointment that despite missing two games and nearly two weeks into the January transfer window, nothing remotely interesting has happened at Lyon.
