Re: AS Monaco thread 2006-07[R] I like this lineup here ...........................Roma.......................... ....Cufré.......Bolivar........Monsoreau........Givet..... ...................Leko............Perez................ .............................Toure.............................. ............Gapké.......................Menez....... ...........................Piquionne.................... I have Koller on the bench and I know he just scored for the Czech Republic but playing him 70-90 mins. isnt gonna help any for the future.
Re: AS Monaco thread 2006-07[R] Thanks, man. Honestly, if you strengthen the back line and maybe get another GK, Monaco could push for a CL spot, if not only UEFA Cup.
Re: AS Monaco thread 2006-07[R] The last 2 years they lost Evra to ManUtd., Maicon to Inter, and Squilacci to Lyon. Those are high quality interantional players and their losses would hurt any team.
Re: AS Monaco thread 2006-07[R] I calculated that between 1982 and 2005, Monaco stayed out of the podium only 8 seasons !
Re: AS Monaco thread 2006-07[R] Most definately. Got any one in mind you'd want the office to go for?
Re: AS Monaco thread 2006-07[R] I really feel that AS Monaco had a good match against PSG last week.They had several chances to score.I am still surprised that Piquionne missed that one penalty kick.
Re: AS Monaco thread 2006-07[R] LB. By the way, I wont be online that much anymore so I wont be able to keep this thread updated. If it dies it dies. If you guys keep it alive then thats great.

Re: AS Monaco thread 2006-07[R] Monaco wants the Club World Cup winner coach, Abel Braga http://globoesporte.globo.com/ESP/Noticia/0,,MUL26504-4410,00.html they will dispute the coach with an arab emirates team.
Re: AS Monaco thread 2006-07[R] Wow, I had to dig deep to get this thread. Thought I'd give this an update. Of course, arguably not as many interesting things are happening in la Principaut[FONT="]é[/FONT] as in Lyon or Marseille, though it looks like we will be getting a new manager if Laurent Banide doesn't get an extension in the next 72 hours. Apparently Guus Hiddink and Ricardo are among the candidates to replace Laurent Banide, if Banide doesn't decide to finish his contract with the club, which is due to expire in 2008. I, for one, would love to see Hiddink at the helm, as he doesn't underachieve (look at what he did in World Cups) and does well when he's not at too big a club, like Real, though it looks like the chances of us landing him aren't that big, considering he's coaching the Russian NT, who for the moment are ahead of Les Anglais in Euro 2008 qualifying. I think Hiddink would be very good at Monaco, as he's a good judge of players and can get a team to gel. Hopefully he can get more out of Yaya and develop the likes of Distel Zola, Nimani, Gakp[FONT="]é[/FONT], etc. In other ASM headlines, Guillaume Warmuz has announced his retirement. The veteran backup (and indeed that's the role he's been playing for quite a bit now) had been the oldest joueur in L1.
Re: AS Monaco thread 2006-07[R] We had one, but he had a bad start to a season, didn't get along with M. Pastor, so resigned. No, I'm not talking about B[FONT="]ö[/FONT]l[FONT="]ö[/FONT]ni, for whom Banide didn't do poorly in replacing. I'm talking about DD, who gave all of us a team we were so proud of in the Champions League. If Hiddink comes, I'd feel quite good about everything. Ricardo, not so much, though I don't believe he's that bad.
Re: AS Monaco thread 2006-07[R] The problem with Ricardo is that he plays to win, not entertain. Still a decent coach though.
Re: AS Monaco thread 2006-07[R] Agreed. I would say that Bordeaux underachieved a bit, though, this season. I mean they definitely are not as strong as you all (OL), but on paper, I'd think they were better than Toulouse/Rennes/Lens/Sochaux. I'd welcome Claude Puel back, but he's settled at Lille, it would appear. Will Raynald Denoueix be returning to coaching, or will he remain as a consultant on Canal+? I'd certainly consider him with all the U-19 players we have at our centre de formation.
Re: AS Monaco thread 2006-07[R] Things have been very quiet on the transfer rumor front so far. Doesnt seem like there be sny significant departures which is good. This team needs a lot of help anyway. The only decent rumor I saw was Illan from St. Etienne but thats not too exciting.
Re: AS Monaco thread 2006-07[R] I think they were slightly better than those teams. I hate Ricardo's style of play but the team does lack good forwards.
