Not sure how long it will take for all teh new Monaco players to gel but I'm starting to see them as title contenders already for this year. Meanwhile the neverending search for a coach at PSG and Blanc's appointment will surely be a disruptive factor for the interseason period.

Yeah surprising transfer there - since I didnt think Lille was that desperate to sell, nor does the move seem like astep up for the player. At 10 MEUR it is a good deal though for Marseille

Roma?It seems that they're also snapping up promising leftback Lucas Digne, who so far was tipped to sign with PSG. So they just need a bullying def mid and they're ready.

It's surprising that only 1 month from the start of the season there are almost no transfer rumours for Paris... last year it was non stop !
― AlXTC from Paris, Tuesday, 2 July 2013 10:16 (ten years ago) link
£50m offer for Cavani doing the rounds today, which is only a little off his buyout clause. If you'd said him and Falcao would be meeting in the league this year, I wouldn't've thought you meant Ligue 1.
― Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 3 July 2013 10:21 (ten years ago) link
So Cavani at PSG seems imminent - curious to see how Laurent Blanc is gonna get all these guys to play together and who will be benched to make space for a second striker - Pastore?
― licorice oratorio (baaderonixx), Wednesday, 10 July 2013 09:19 (ten years ago) link
I guess there will be a turnover between pastore, lavezzi and menez.
like :
ibra/cavalavezzi (pastore) / lucas (menez)matuidi / motta (verrati)
I really hope they will buy some good right and left wing backs because maxwell, jallet and vdw are the weakspots of the team !

no they haven't bought anyone special but the team was already good. they have managed to keep grenier somehow (and god knows aulas has done his best to make him want to leave !).they have also kept gonalons. but they still haven't found a way to get rid of gourcuff...

Monaco have taken a late, and largely undeserved, lead through Riviere. Falcao has looked off the pace but Ocampos and Carrasco have been good.

What's all this talk about Falcao wanting to leave Monaco already? Keep hearing rumors. Is it the French tax system? Monaco felt the need to officially deny this, too.
It's not even allowed to switch clubs twice in one transfer period no?

so I was at Parc des Princes yesterday. it was pretty fun.I think the team is not ready yet but mainly they clearly weren't lucky (especially in the last 15min). Ajaccio had like one chance (and they scored) but the rest of the game they were all in defence. I mean, during most of the game, T. Silva and Alex were playing at 30 meters... of Ajaccio's goal ! (and Silva almost scored 2 times !).again, like last year, against Paris, most of the teams (and goals) of league 1 play the game of their life !Cava's goal was great. and there were some brilliants dribbles from Lavezzi and Verratti.Pastore was awful (and I like him in general!).

if you asked marseille fans, most would probably tell you that he's had a shitty season. it's kind of surprising that he's actually scoring, though still far from the season that brought him to marseille from toulouse (24 goals iirc) yeah he always looks out of shape, bordeaux fans made fun of him at a game some time back by singing "un big mac pour gignac" ("a big mac for gignac"). actually, i think i might have already told that story here.

dunno too much how it's going for ocampos. james has been doing quite well lately, scored a few goals and had a few assists.cavani may not seem happy and considering the noise that's been made after his poor performance against chelsea, in his position of choice, he's not likely to feel any better
