Thanks, mate. I will see what I can do, mainly want to strengthen the midfield and attack, defence is solid. But I will go after any classy and available player.
As mentioned, it is a bussy transfer summer.
On the goal, we brought Alban Lafont. The youngster is coming from Chelsea on a season long loan. I was eager to take him for 2 seasons, but they didn't even wanted to discuss such transfer. Anyway, since our keeper Duchez is 37 years old and the reserves are not so viable, Lafont may just be the starter this season.
Coming from relegated Italian side Genoa is the argentinian defender Lucas Orban. He desperately wanted to leave his club and my scouts were in such awe of him, no way I could have missed the chance.
William Remy returns from Montpelier on a bargain deal. His ability to play on 3 different positions and the facts that he already knows the club and the league were key for his signing.
Mark Diemers comes from the Dutch side De Graafschap on a free transfer. He was the first to join, as his transfer was negotiated back in january. He seems solid enough option for the midfield as the majority of the players already at the club don't seem to be good enough for regular Ligue 1 starters.
Tom Carroll was transfer listed by Tottenham and choose (much for my surprise) our offer. At only 25, he brings some Premier League expirience and class, on a decent price.
The most expensive deal of the summer so far, coming from Nancy, is Vincent Marchetti. A gifted youngster, who can give us 2-3 good seasons in his development and maybe a solid profit from his future transfer.
Another highly recommended by the scouts player is Ismail Aissati. Once a teen prodigy of PSV, he failed to grow on his full potential and eventually, after spells in Russia and Turkey, returns to one of the top European leagues, looking for a chance to revive his career. Joining on free, so if he fails, at least there will be some profit from the deal.
What is a transfer window, without some Latino flavour? Ours comes from Gonzalo Maroni, young Argentinian playmaker, joining from Boca Juniors. He will be Aissati's main competitor for the starting place in the team. I hope he, like Marchetti, to be sold with massive profit in the future.
And last, but not least, the badly needed striker. Anatole N'Gamukol joins from Red Star on free. He was the top scored in Ligue 2 last season, bagging 18 goals in 34 games. If he scores half of these for us this season, I will be a happy manager.
I think this will be pretty much all the new players. The only thing, which may change that is massive offer for someone, and the need of replacement, or heavy injury. Anyway, I will post the whole transfer history at the end of the window.
