So, can anyone shed some light on them? Do they have any realistic chance of staying up? I see they havent done much in the transfer market and that is worrying me.

Caen might stay up.They have done some stuff in the transfer market.According to Mercato 365 they have obtained these players:
Adnane (Cherbourg)
Boucansaud (Troyes)
Eluchans (Independiente)
R.Gomis (Laval)
Nivet (Troyes)
Thébaux (Dijon)

And the tunisian striker Jemaa from RC Lens > excellent for Stade Malherbe

I think I'm with the majority when I say, "Who?" J/K. I think Caen will stay up if Gouffran gets 10+ goals. Or if Costîl takes over as #1 keeper and does what Lloris did for Nice this season.

Caen just signed Defender Karl Svensson from Rangers.

Young kid, 3 year contract, 21 appearances for Rangers.

Sounds good.

Anyone know anything about him?

[SuperSebGrimaldi]

Wow, I hadn't realized that they signed him. That's impressive, actually. He's an international already, as I think he was in Sweden's WC squad, and he's got a lot of ability. He's the classic Patrik Andersson-type defender. Strong in the air, a bit slow on the ground, but if you accompany him with a speedy partner in central defense, it'll work out very well.

Yeah, I just saw it on mercato365. I hope they can sign one or 2 more players like that.

Hell, sign some Lithuanians. That will make me REALLY happy.


....Or Totti........

Gouffran is the key this year. They also need more speed from their fullbacks. I like Hengbart, but we need more speed.

Midfield has some nice acquisitions, including Gomis, who I like.

And I know a lot of people want Costil to take over at GK, but Plante is solid, and comes up big in situations.

And a wild card may be the young striker Grandin, who scored the best goal for them last year in my opinion, by faking out five defenders a la Ibrahimovic before smashing it home. He is good and fast as lightning.

They were up 2 years ago and went right back down. I hear they are serious about staying up this year. I only hope Gouffran stays the entire year. He has an offer on the table from PSG and several other big clubs in England.



Allez Malherbe!!!!!!

[cmblfc]

Gouffran may not even begin this year. Wenger wants him at Arsenal for 2 million quid.

That would be horrible.

Edit: Fortin also says that they are done making moves......


Lets see what happens.
