Flight of the Dragon

Transfers window opens in France and I have just completed two deals. Lamy arrives for £30 million from Arsenal and Carpentier from St Etienne for £15 million. Both will prove instrumental for the club I am sure moving forward.

Thats some transfer budget! I can't wait till FM15 comes out to start playing again and have a long journeyman career like this! its been epic Cymro keep it coming1 Lamy looks a steal!

DanW19 - Cheers Dan. Ye looking forward to FM15, this save journey is almost complete, not much left to achieve. The only regret I have is the starting club I had. If I had started off with another club in Thailand I am sure I would have had a much longer LLM career to begin with.



I think it is a good time to take a quick look over the brief career. Been quite the roller-coaster! Been to some amazing places and clubs. Time in Thailand, Portugal and South Korea really helped shape this career.

Just a quick note on this. This guy was one of the first players I signed for £2.2k for Suwon shortly after I joined them. At 18 he was solid and I knew he would develop and be quite a force in Asian football. That he did become. Some years after I left Suwon he was sold to Jeonbuk for quite a big margin of £375k. From there he spent 4 seasons before eventually moving on. Would have had over 100 caps had the Suwon and Jeonbuk manager allowed him to play friendlies for China.

What's next on the agenda then Cymro, another season at Monaco are thinking of moving on?

Shedender - I very much want to stay with Monaco for the time being. No job out there really appeals to me at the moment.



Just a quick transfer update. Been a busy 13 days or so. Trying to get business in done early. Lamy and Carpentier were already confirmed, as were the deals that saw Molenaar, Dude, Ahmed, Toledo and Jan. These guys are coming in on the cheap with the view to improve the squad depth and also as potential re-sale value in the future. Kamoun is a Moroccan centre back. He is literally a steal for the price and he also doesn't count as a foreign quote because of the African player rule in France. He will be a welcome addition to the club.

In the out section we sold quite a few players and got quite a bit of money from them. Considering I got Traynor on a free last season and to sell him on for £18.5m I would consider that fantastic business. He hardly set the league alight last year so to get that kind of money for him. Cracking deal. The major surprise maybe the sale of Radnic we got a massive amount of money for him, some £45million. At 28 and holding our central midfield together I felt it was the right time to cash in on him, his form over the last 5 years for Monaco has been amazing but I felt he wouldn't be able to sustain it for next season so by selling him I would capitalise on his success.

Odds on for the league, oh snap.

So our first game of the new season and also the first chance of silverware. We came through but not without some problems. The squad was a fairly tired one. Pre-season was normal 6 weeks prep that I do with all my clubs. The training regime was not that different. There was some international but fair amount were tired or lacking fitness.

Anyway. We actually tore them to pieces but somehow allowed them back in and they are a good side and when you give them a sniff they jump on it. They did just that and we really couldn't cope until Szabo scored to secure us victory.

Nice to get a victory over PSG but we are in for a tough season.



Nice little record broken there. Do we get to keep the trophy now?

Sold a player who was starting to show his age. Wasn't really featuring so tried cashing in. Sold for a deal that will rise to £5.3million. Bad news is we sold him for half value despite early interest in him.

Great news for the club. With the new stadium expansion due to be completed at the end of the current year, it could well be bouncing at the João Moutinho Stadium.

Just read through what I have missed! Amazing work mate as you say not alot left to be won after a brilliant season!
