Former Marseille supremo Jose Anigo says Ligue 1 clubs must try to bring back their former stars.
Anigo laments seeing so many former Ligue 1 players wasting away at the likes of Chelsea, Manchester United and Juventus.
He explained to France Football: "When I see the talent of these players who remain on the floor, what a mess! Of course, the economic parameter comes into play, but when you see the financial losses that can result from a relegation, a bad finish or a non-qualification in the Champions League, is the game not worth the candle?
"Boys like Geoffrey Kondogbia, Loïc Remy, Micha Batshuayi, Yaya Touré, Joao Moutinho, Mathieu Valbuena, Nicolas Nkoulou, Anthony Martial, Aleix Vidal, Martin Odegaard, Kingsley Coman and others. And they all have as much talent as the others ... What I would like to see is them evolve in our Championship, although some are already there! The level would be even better."
