Monaco couldn;t win the title it will be Nice, Marseille or Auxerre.

I bet more on Monaco (really good team now), Marseille or Lyon.

All that talent but they still coudn't come close to Winning the European or Uefa Cup. How far did the '99 team get into Europe, Papa I can't remember.


I am not sure but i know they lost to a Spanish team, i think it was Malaga in the 1/8 finals in UEFA cup.

Heres a list of players Monaco had in 1999:

Fabien Barthez/ Man u

Philippe Christanval/ Barca
Martin Djetou / Parma
Rafael Marquez
Philippe Léonard
Willy Sagnol / Bayern Munich

Marcelo Gallardo
Ludovic Giuly
Sabri Lamouchi / Parma
Sylvain Legwinski
Jon Arne Riise / Liverpool


David Trézéguet / Juve
Thierry Henry / Arsenal

that's pretty scary.


Man, on paper that's one hell of a team.

What is the current vibe in Monaco regarding the departure of Rafa Marquez. He wants to go to the Spanish League, but the club is asking a lot of money for his rights.

Impossible : Malaga is for the first time in UEFA Cup this season, and doing quite good (1/4).

I´d say Mallorca but not sure. I remember one of the matches they lost 4-1 there and coudn´t make it to the 1/4.

Well, I havent been following this, but they are trying their hardest to keep him, maybe if they make the ECL he will decide to stay for another year.

The only way they will keep Marquez is if they restructure his contract and pay him more or if they continue to keep his selling clause high. Deschamps likes him and I think that he wants him to stick around.

I don't know if playing in the ECL with Monaco would motivate him. He's already done it before and the other teams that have reportedly been after him will likely be playing the Champions league (Real Madrid, Deportivo, Barcelona, Manchester United)
