A few weeks ago we searched for all the players who became professionals at Girondins de Bordeauxbut also those who have or have had a professional career elsewhere. We also looked for some young people who had gone through the training, to see where they were playing to date.

At mid-season in most championships, let's look at the performances (or not) of those who have visited us. Big start to the season, complicated season or in anonymity, let's see what it is. Depending on the championship and the continent, some players may have a higher number of matches because their championship is well underway or even finished, such as in South America, the United States or Scandinavian countries.

Not all the players who have gone through the training center are there, but a good number are. You will only find this list on
Girondins4Ever.

At 40 years old, Matthew Valbuena still hasn't hung up. Still in Greece, the attacking midfielder continues to be decisive (17 matches 2 goals 2 assists). Not far from him,
Gaétan Weissbeck relaunched in Cyprus, alongside Apollon Limassol. With 3 goals and 1 assist in 15 games, those aren't great stats either. In line with the “exotic” championships, Olivier Verdon continues his Bulgarian career at Ludogorets. He has been an essential element for several seasons (27 matches 1 goal). Valentin Vada made his place in Russia at Rubin Kazan (18 matches 1 goal 2 assists). In Portugal,
Zaydou Youssouf is a potential incumbent in Famalicao, while Zan Vipotnik found his feet in English D2 at Swansea (23 matches 4 goals). On the other hand, the beginnings are complicated for Julien Vétro who has only 5 games and 48 minutes with Scottish club Dundee FC.
