Olympique Lyon midfielder and Barcelona loan out Marc Crosas (20) has repeated to Catalan sports paper Sport that he could stay in Lyon next season:
"I will have to talk with Barcelona about my future, because I don't have any idea about their plans. I think there could be possibilities to stay here, but we'll have to see."

If you could loan him out for another year to Lyon I would do it. The feeling being that if Benzema becomes available next year, Crosas is a guy you can throw into the deal to bring the price down a bit. I doubt you'd get much for him now if you made the loan deal permanent. Plus it would give Lyon another year to see how far he's developed and if/where he fits in their future plans.
He's had a great time at Lyon. It's hard to say whether the club will keep him (it depends on the price Barca will ask) or if Barca will agree to sell him. I doubt Lyon will want another loan though. I'd certainly like him to stay at any rate.
Anyway, he won the title with Lyon, becoming the first Catalan (actually, the first player from Spain) to do so. He gets along really well with the players at the club, has been learning French (with some help from Benzema and Clerc), is close with the Brazilian crew and with some of the older French players like Reveillere, Toulalan, and Bodmer. I hate to say it, but given his enthusiasm and desire, he seems more like a Lyon youth product than Ben Arfa.
There are pics and some vids (links in the comments) of him going wild during the celebrations, which you can check out here:
