End of January Tarnsfer Window Update

Transfers In

Armand Traore - £3m - A bargain at that price imo and will challenge Grosso for the LB position.

Transfers Out

Anderson - £3.5m

Belhadji - £3.5m

Both were unneeded after I signed Traore and Cris returned from injury. Anderson frees up a non eu spot aswell.

Squad

01012008135952bb3.th.jpg

League

01012008140026xq7.th.jpg

Abo****ely crusing the league and hopefully will go through the full season unbeaten.

Other Cups

CL - In the 2nd knockout where we will face Stuttgart.

French Cup - We are in the 11th Round.

Coupa de la ligue - We are in the Semi Finals where we will be against Marseille.

Will update later.

End of third season update currently end of may

League cup as you can see i shouldn't have won it but i'll take it anyway

Final League standings the league was this year a lot tougher due to the french teams having more money and playing a more important role in europe so they could attract better players

French cup thx to menez we won but a hard game imo

European Supercup wasn't that hard tbh should have won by more

Club World Championship the toughest i had to play, incredible those south-american teams icon14.gif

Champions Trophy always nice to start the season with a win

Champions League the crown on a good season

Will post some more pics of transfers and my teams when my transfers are finished.

Hi, I'm a fan of Arsenal and Lyon so I went to this thread.

Does anyone know of lots of young french talent under 18?

I'm starting an Arsenal game and would like to have some french influence. icon_wink.gif

I've got Sakho, Saivet, D. Le Tallec, Tambe, Benzerga, M. Saunier and Abenzoar.

Any others?

Started as Lyon today. After asking for more money from the board, they supplied me with £29m in transfer funds and I also had my wage budget upped to £1.15m p/w.

Transfers

Brought in a couple a youth players for the future. Sold Baros as I didn't find his stats to be terribly impressive. Samba and Delpierre were brought in to cover for Cris' return as I plan to sell Anderson and Muller. Signed Ducasse to provide cover at CM/DM and to replace Juninho in the future. Menez was signed because he's awesome and due to provide some versatility and some cover for the wingers. Lastly, I signed Farfan purely because I love the man! icon_biggrin.gif

Tried to sign Sylvain Armand from PSG to play at Left-back, but PSG are harsh as hell and are wanting cuddy loads for him.

This is how the league looks so far:

League

Draw came against Auxerre - despite dominating

Will post an update in January icon14.gif

Just coming to the end of the Jan transfer window.........The only signings I made were free's for next season...they were:-

Thiago Motta the DM from Atletico Madrid, he's gonna replace the on loan Flamini.

Juan Roman Riquelme, he will replace Kallstrom, who's not happy at not playing.....plus Sevilla and Everton are after him...

Erik Edman LB from Rennes, he'll replace Belhadj.

The other changes I'm looking at making are another GK to replace Vercoutre, who's contract is running out and he refused my offer

A centre Mid to replace Juninho, he's getting on a bit and he hasn't played well at all....very inconsistent

My save has gone a bit wonky icon_eek.gif

I recently saved on the game date of 2nd Feb 08.....I go back into my save today and I have zero players registered for the Ligue.....they are all ineligible.....???? How crazy is that??? I did notice an e-mail on or around the 1st Feb saying that registration had closed but I had replied to that one......

Anyway I'm gonna start again.....will post shortly after pre-season.

That happened to me when I was playing as At.Madrid and it is a known bug. Didn't know it happened in the French league though, maybe you should post in the bugs forum?

Purefun:-

Walcott is awesome, very quick, he did very well for me in one of my earlier saves....He's not the best at crossing, he has oddles of pace....even though he plays on the wings set his instructions for cross ball and through balls to RARELY and forward runs and run with ball OFTEN, then watch him skin opponents for fun.....

Sakho I always sign as he turns out good

Okay so I finally started my Lyon project here is a brief summary of my dealings in the transfer market

Players in:

Sergey Ignashevich – CSKA – Free (He is a free and he will be a good backup)

Bogdan Stancu – Uniera – 160K (One for the future)

Samba – Blackburn – 1M (Solid defender and he is very young at 23yrs of age)

Kameni – Espanyol – 8.25M (I needed a keeper who was solid and kameni is that, he is young too he will improve, although I paid quite abit I’m happy with that.)

Amauri – Palermo – 7.5 (Awesome in real life, and pretty good in FM08, 7.5 million isn’t bad he will add some firepower to my team, plus his wages are very cheap he only wanted 7thousands a week icon_biggrin.gif)

Menez – Monaco – 10M (One for now and the future, I need more depth in my midfield he was a good option, keeping it French too lol)

Missed out on Makoun II was really gutted he went to foirentia(sp) I might try and temp him from there at the start of next season. Or I might just buy bangera instead cheaper as well

Player outs:

Govou 3Million (He is poor, and that’s sixty thousand a week less on my wage budget)

Muller – On loan to Genoa (Old and poor)

1st Season so far:

Well I am only just about to play my first game of the season, I won the challenge cup against Sochaux 2-0 which was pleasing, but now the real work starts. I have also brought in some better first team coaches to help in the training etc.

good signings hopey shame about makoun though a real rock at dm, but banega is also good but less defensive imo

I personally having some trouble finding a good/great DLC, did all the obvious players, so now i'm going for palombo who currently plays for real madrid hoping to keep it under 20 mil euro

govou for 3 million, seems like a bit of an undersell, probaly able to get double that if you stick with him until jan, also i actually just bouoght menez from monaco for 6.25mil and thats 2nd season, so i think you got robbed but still good transfers

I wanted to get rid of Govou piece of poo, and his wages were just clogging up my buget. Menez is more than worth every penny of 10million. In fact I would say thats quite cheap, as I have seen him brought by clubs for over 15 M +
