What a team... Abidal is near signing too.

PSG v Monaco is going to be epic. OM is doing it's thing too, although nowhere near this level. But Payet, Valbuena, Ayew and Gignac will be dangerous.

Would be even surprised to see them compete for the league..

Monaco are trying to steal the brightest youth CB prospect in the world from River. Death to oil money Mad

Official: Monaco sign Abidal.

wat
Abidal-wat-Carvalho-wat
Moutinho-Toulalan-wat
JRod-Falcao-Ocampos?

Is there going to be any squad depth? Laughing

by FalcaoPunch Mon Jul 08, 2013 1:58 pm

They dont need as much squad depth as some of the bigger teams considering they will only really be competeting for Ligue 1. But having some alternatives throughout the course of the season would be important

by sportsczy Mon Jul 08, 2013 2:24 pm

Isimat-Mirin, a fantastic young CB prospect who plays for France U23, was bought as well.

Subasic was a very good keeper for them last year and, unless they get a big name, i'd stick with him.

They also bought Martial, who is one of the top 3 CF prospects in France for me. Paid 5 mil to Lyon for him, which pissed off all the Lyon fans lol. Aulas had to publicly appease them in fact.

Additional defense depth: Andrea Raggi (former Bologna), Tzavellas, Kagelmacher, Andreas Wolf (former Werder Bremen). If they sign a RB, which they are rumored to be, then it's good depth.

Midfield depth: Nabil Dirar, Jakob Poulsen and other depth type players. Frankly, they need to sign a couple more players here.

Forwards: Martial, Riviere (France U23 player), Valere Germain, Ibrahima Toure. Good depth with forwards and talented.

The starters should be:

Subasic
New RB- Isimat Mirin-Carvalho-Abidal
Toulalan-New CM
Moutinho
Rodriguez-Falcao-Ocampos

A RB and CM away from being complete imo.

by LeBéninois Mon Jul 08, 2013 3:04 pm

Isimat Mirin is very good !!

Don't think it's be wise to have only Abidal as quality LB. i don't want him to be overplayed.

Is Ranieri going to be the long term manager ? Or are they looking to replace him after this year

by sportsczy Mon Jul 08, 2013 4:54 pm

Tzavellas is also a LB.

Ranieri is there this year and, like PSG, they will make a run at Wenger next summer. Wenger started his managing career at Monaco remember.

by M99 Mon Jul 08, 2013 4:58 pm

Is'nt Monaco after Lucas Digne? Fell Abidal is there for depth in defence. A decent RB and CM, Fernando and maybe Debuchy?

Digne is almost certainly going to PSG... that's why they went for Abidal.

Fernando was mentioned a month ago and nothing since. Haven't heard anything reliable on Debuchy.

by sportsczy Mon Jul 08, 2013 8:13 pm

Monaco prez announces that mercato is over for Monaco unless something that they cannot refuse presented itself... but they are no longer active.

We'll see.

by farfan Mon Jul 08, 2013 9:49 pm

are they planning on relying on guys like obbadi in CM ?

they a need CM.

The team as it is right now is supposedly good enough for the L1

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Mon Jul 08, 2013 10:50 pm

Debuchy said he wants to stay and has no intention of moving anywhere.

I would be very surprised if anything on that front moves at all.

As i would any of our players as Ashley has insane valuations.

Cabaye is the only one i see leaving of any importance.

by Milantildeath Tue Jul 09, 2013 12:27 am

Don't worry, they have Andrea Raggi :bow:

He will save the defense

by Red Alert Tue Jul 09, 2013 6:25 am

They're going to finish 3rd. PSG will win it.

Falcao will then find his way to a Chelsea / RM as he's not in a third party any more.

And that Belgian kid? Yannick Carrasco (?).. I heard a lot of good things from him.
