The New Generation - Stade Rennais

Stade Rennais are renowned throughout France and Europe for having some of the best youth facilities and sheer quantity of playing coming through the youth ranks to make the first team and national team selection, just some are Sylvain Wiltord, Stephane Mbia, Yoann Gourcuff, Jimmy Briand, Mikael Silvestre, Yann M'Vila and Jaques Faty among others. Indeed of the current senior tream 11 of the 22 are from the Rennais academy. As Rennais were my first team outside of England on FM I have a big soft spot for them so hopefully this will be a great long term save.

The Squad The squad is very young as you would imagine having so many youth academy graduates in the team but there is a bit of experience mixed in with the likes of some promising youngsters in the likes of Sylvain Armand, Benoit Costil, Paul-Georges Ntep, Vincent Pajot, Sanjin Prcic and Ola Toivonen.

Summer Transfers

With a modest budget of 2million pound I had to sell to buy and do a bit of stretching of the transfer payments and managed to bring in a few loans and one marquee signing so to say.

Transfers Out

Ruben Neves - Loan

Jean II Makoun - 600k

Adama Traore - Loan

Sergi Samper - Loan

Charles Itandje - Loan

Ligue 1

On the back of 4 straight wins to end the pre season we opened with a 1-1 draw against title chaser Lyon thanks to Kamel Grosicko who was only playing due to Adama Traore's injury. the draw was followed by another two draws and with PSG and OM looming we gladly took the three points against Caen 3-1 with the attacking trident all registering a goal

Godd start to the season, Fierro and Vallejo are two excellent deals. Beating Marseille is brilliant and the draw against PSG is also good considering considering you had a man sent off.

I honestly don't care if I get into Europe, I just wanna keep giving youngsters some game time by rotating as much of the first 11 i can each game and improve the youngsters. Next season with some loanees returning and another year into the youth I can blood some more than I can atm.

In form player - VOID!
5 games without a win how could I possibly choose one....... Vincent Pajot still has a decent rating during the past two months and youngster Steven Moreira has done well in my rotation policy.

I take full responsibility for what has happened. I jinxed it, and would like to sincerely apologize to the fans and players of Stade Rennais, but more importantly to the manager.
