Voice of Reason Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 I've recently been playing in France as PSG. After a frustratingly inconsistent first season (finished 6th, just made the Inter-Toto), the team is finally starting to gel a few months into the second season after a dodgy start. We're playing some lovely stuff, easily beating most teams and climbing up the league. Currently in 4th, but with a game in hand on everyone else. The squad: Riquelme and Cabanas have been excellent in attack, linking up superbly. We've looked a bit shakey at the back, Bellaid in particular, so have got Vidal coming in for £4.5m in January. Otherwise looking for a new RB, AMR and long term Riquelme replacement (now that will be difficult to find), but for now the team is fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonahno6 Posted May 30, 2008 Author Share Posted May 30, 2008 The only player I can think of that is like JRR is Jimenez. Great Squad btw Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purefun Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Yes i agree great squad. Have a look at Bocaly for RB, Gouffran for AMR and Pjanic for Riquelme. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voice of Reason Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Cheers for replies. Jimenez went to Lazio I think, so it will be difficult to persuade him to come to play in France, but he would be the ideal replacement. Gouffran has already moved as well and his value is pretty high, but Bocaly is a great shout, he's turned out excellent on my other games. Never heard of Pjanic, will look him up.

So I will promote Berzenga into the squad. And I will be looking for a new striker to either rotate with Diouf or replace him, B.Gomis is who I want to sign from Saint-Eteinne. Will look for another centre back to, aswell as another right back. Also a back up keeper is needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voice of Reason Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Can I have some opinions on a few potential deals? 1. Kevin Mirallas - Free Will probably go for this, as it's a free so I can always sell him on for profit if he doesn't do the business. Will mainly be used at AMR, stats look good for a 21 year old, anyone had experience with him? 2. Gael Etock - £3.4m Wouldn't usually spend that much on a 17 year old, but my scout regards him as a definite purchase and says he has the potential to be much better than Salvador Cabanas. Key stats look very strong, how good does he turn out with training + match experience? 3. Distel Zola - £2.5m + 15% This is probably the one I'm least likely to go through with. He's turned out awesome on some of my games, and average on others. Already have Sankhare and Digard in the CM spots and I can see them there for years to come, so not convinced there's a real need for him. All advice appreciated. For those who don't know, I'm PSG, half-way through the second season and with about £7m to spend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purefun Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Voice of reason Mirallas a big yes for me but thats because i'm from Belgium. Is much better irl though. Etock never had him but show us a screenie mate!! Zola becomes good mate but you need to buy him now otherwise let him go. Its always handy for injuries to have someone extra or maybe rotation.

Voice of Reason Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 In the end I signed Etock and Zola, but Mirallas rejected me and a load of other French teams for Anderlecht purefun, this is Etock at the moment. Excellent finisher and good in the air, so would fit in my tactic as a lone forward perfectly. Trying to bring him on for the last 20 mins of games we're winning comfortably just to give him some match experience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voice of Reason Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 A new left hand side is basically needed for PSG. I got Jeremy Mathieu from Toulouse for LB and Abdou Razack Traore for left wing.

grossen Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 After reading this thread i have decided to have a crack at the french league with Lille. As mentioned before in this thread they have a tremendous transfer budget and breaking Lyon's dominance has to be the aim. First thing i did was get Makoun signed up on a new contract so the release fee went. He accepted the offer and is now tied down till 2012. As for transfers, i did quite a bit of wheeling and dealing in the window and this is what i did: In Sylvain Monsoreau 5.25m Jeremie Brechet 4m Per Ciljan Skjelbred 1.5m Pablo Piatti 250k Rene Mihelic 500k Diego Buonanotte 100k Andrey Arshavin 7.25m Out Pierre Alain Frau Marco Maric Michel Bastos Aurelien Chedjou Henri Ewane Elong Kevin Mirallas Matheiu Debuchy Emerson- loaned out Mavuba- Loan terminated I play with ricrpor's tactic and this is my current starting 11: GK Sylva RB Beria LB Tafforeau CB Monsoreau CB Brechet MD Skjelbred MD Makoun MD Piatti AM Arshavin ST Fauvergue ST Youla Subs from: Malicki, Lichsteiner, Plestan, Franquart, Dumont, Cabaye, Buonanotte, Obraniak, Kluivert League has started very well. On paper it was a tough opening few games for me but i have won 3 and drawn 1. The results are Le Mans 2-2 (A), PSG 2-0 (H), Marseille 5-1 (A), Bordeaux 4-1 (H). Those results have put me top after 4 games 3 points clear of Lyon. After a reserve left back now and a good all round striker. 12 million left to spend. Any help would be appreciated.

Voice of Reason Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 You can get Jeremy Mathieu from Toulouse for around £3m at the start for LB. Salvador Cabanas is a brilliant striker for around £4m, but will take up a non-EU spot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
grossen Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Thanks for those 2 names voice of reason. Will be keeping tabs on Mathieu in the next window however Cabanas joined Rangers.

Voice of Reason Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Already posted this in the PSG thread, but thought I'd post it here as well: Just finished the second season, and everything went to pot at the end thanks to three defeats to Nice (or should that be Hugo Lloris). First, they knocked us out of the UEFA Cup semi-finals, then beat us in the league to consign us to fourth place and missing out on the CL spots which we've held pretty much all year. Frustrating as hell, but what can you do Nothing particularly exciting in terms of transfers so far; brought in Degre, Bocaly, Farnerud, Granero on loan and re-signed Chantome from Boro. Sold Bellaid to Sevilla for £13m, so have some funds to play with. Was going to go for Inler Gokhan, but Villa have suddenly decided they want to keep him.

causeforconcern Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 It should also be mentioned that almost every club in Ligue 1 will increase your transfer budget if you ask the board. Having just started a game in this league I have to say I'm impressed with the general quality of the players. Much better than the Serie A, which is a little suprising as well as maybe a little unrealistic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wstussyb1 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I found Paris SG one of the best teams to play (heh, it is after all one of my favorite teams) You really don't need to find players for the left side, Arnuld (sp...he is the main choice for captain)) is terrific as a DL, he mighty be 27, but still, so many teams try to buy him. I find you do need a GK for the 2nd season and beyond, mostly to start or train, depends on how many teams want, the current GK, can never spell French names, Also a young Striker or a proven striker, I found that Boca Forward (the 25 year old, roberto placio sp) is a great choice, also a DR, that was my main problem finding a great DR, but some one suggested Marvin Angulo, he turned out great, also that RB from Shatkar, Iliso (sp) but they always want a lot for him, he is world class through in the French league.

Alcantara Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Started the 2009-2010 season with St. Etienne, after losing my job at Getafe, and have found it as one of the most enjoyable campaigns for a long time. Currently top of the league and doing well in the cup with Benoit Costil, (Janot was conceding some soft goals at the start of the season) Nordveidt and Abenzoir (both on loan) the only additions to the 1st team. Current stars of the team are Loic Perrin, Gomis (Top scorer in Ligue 1), Escudero and Nordveidt, though I'm having to fend off interest from bigger clubs for the 1st three - anyone have any suggestions? I'll post some screenshots when I get home for your feedback. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisandro Lopez Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Loic Perrin is a good little player, some good signings for loan's there with Abenzoar and Nordviedt.

GavinLP1987 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 alcantara - Totally agree about St Etienne. You inherit a decent squad but there are a few gems. The average gates are about 25,000/30,000. They're debt free, and you can easily go for Europe 1st year and league in the 2nd.
