We finished December flying high in the league and a Champions League draw I knew we would win. The upcoming month was a time to strengthen the youth over the next few years and I knew exactly where we would start. Brazil is known for churning out some of the best talent to have ever graced the game; Zico, Pele, Ronaldinho, Romario, Socrates and Garrincha just to name a few. At Lyon, we have not a single Brazilian and I knew there would be some amazing talent that we could poach from the recent youth intakes all across South America.
Scout Anthony Gillot was sent to Brazil at the start of the season and has since reported back several times on outstanding youths that are lighting up the football scene there. He sent over so many game tapes and scout reports that it made my job very easy.
As well as targeting youth, I also needed a back up keeper to John, as Laurent Pionnier wasn’t happy at being a reserve. There was a 22-year old from New York that I had heard about during the international fixture break earlier in the year, Ben Swift. He was soon to be available on a free transfer and I signed him up.
16-year old Abdelaziz Aissaoui is joining from feeder club Laval on a free transfer. Gerard Houllier recommended the player himself, knowing we have the facilities here to make him a French great.
Tassio Bertucci – a 14-year old striker from Corinthians has been signed for €1.1 million. He will join in 2018 and has potential that is unmatched. Born in Sao Paolo, he already has the characteristics to be a fantastic striker.
Edilson is the next player to have agreed to join Lyon. Playing as an attacking midfielder, he has the skill, the speed and passing ability to split the greatest defences. We paid an initialy €4 million for him, with another €1 million spread over 24 months. He is a player that could have been involved in the first team this year if he was already at Lyon.
Guilherme Augusto is a speedy winger who has fantastic dribbling skills and outrageous flair for a 15 year old. Signing for €1.8 million, the Belo Horizonte born left winger will be a threat to any team he lines up against.
The final youngster to join is one out of Lanus, Argentina. Having played 31 times for River Plate already and at the age of 18, Luis Martinez Poch is a great future right back. He has exceptional defensive skills and a bit of pace that will give him an advantage. He joins for an initial €3 million.
The final signing is one that will slot right in to the 1st team squad at 26 years of age. His contract was expiring at Udinese and I jumped at the chance to bring him in to the team, as he will provide excellent cover in many different positions. Kwadwo Asamoah is a strong defensive player and will hopefully be of great use in the next European campaign.
Thus concludes a very productive and efficient transfer window for L’OL. I can see the squad getting ever stronger with these players joining us and look forward to introducing them in to the great culture and club we have here.

ASAMOAH! 
He has a 175PA in game! Excellent signing, and you got some class regens too!

I had him in my Bayern save and he was a lot better in that than he is now but I still expect him to do a great job

We are unbeaten after 23 games in the league with a fantastic goal difference and conceding only 0.65 goals per game in the league. We aren’t short of goals at all and smashing P$G 4-0 was the highlight of the month. That cup win is setting us up for another final against our rivals, Saint-Etienne. We beat them last year to retain the trophy and I expect us to do the same this season. A special mention goes to Tom Ince. He had a very average season last year after his €9.75 million transfer but has been absolutely exceptional this season, especially with important goals against Real Madrid. I am pleased for him because it has meant he has also been able to play regularly for England, picking up 11 caps this season so far.

No league table screen shot but lead extended at top.
The league was so close to being ours after another great run of games. We didn’t concede once in these 3 games and scored 10 in the process. I was pleased with the result against Man City because we knew a draw would give us a great chance in Lyon. They dominated and our strikers had a stinker but we came away with the draw to build on and if we lined up right, I knew we would be able to finally knock them off our back. All the strikers are on fire and are having excellent seasons. Benzia in his first 2 only scored 10 goals in the league in total, where as now he has 7 and is looking threatening every time he gets forward. 4 games in March will lead us closer to the league title and also to the Champions League quarterfinals. I know we have it in us to go on and have a strong finish in these last few
months.
