It seems increasingly likely that Piquionne will be joining OL, and instead of getting Kongo Kim in return, we will secure the services of one of the most overrated players in modern memory.
I don’t have anything personal against Mr Baros, but he has been fantastically underwhelming everywhere he has gone and I would rather bring [...]

Sorry I haven’t posted in a while. I got extremely frustrated after the 3-1 loss to OM and I thought I would wait awhile to post to avoid saying anything rash. Well, I’m still annoyed days later, so let’s talk about it.
You can say it’s only a friendly and that we lost to quality [...]

Well, a new-ish player, anyway. 25 year-old Ivorian defensive midfielder Jean-Jacques Gosso impressed Ricardo and the ASM board during his trial to earn a 3-year contract. Gosso had been previously playing his football in Israel.

Freddy Adu has joined AS Monaco on a one-year loan!!!! As an American, your humble Monaco blogger is quite proud and excited by this development and will be ordering his jersey as soon as he chooses a shirt number. Tell me, are you magically more interested in ASM now?…

The rumors are heating up that Atletico journeymen Maniche and Jose Antonio Reyes could be coming to Monaco. I heard about these and dismissed them as rubbish earlier in the summer, but they aren’t going away.
Apparently Roma were also interested in Reyes but their valuation was too low. Both players reportedly have other suitors, so [...]

Here are some action shots of our away kits for this season in the recent friendly against NK Zagreb. The shade of the shirts and the manufacturer is reminiscent of Lazio. The club calls it sky blue. What do you think? I love them, I think they’re easily more elegant than the pretentious gold away [...]

I was amused to hear that everyone’s favorite Cockney wideboy gaffer Harry Redknapp took a swipe at Monaco after rejecting the club’s 12 million pound bid for Niko Kranjcar. Something along the lines of “Why would he want to go there? They get about 6000 fans there and everyone’s more interested in going out to [...]

Monaco continued its preseason program today with a friendly against NK Zagreb of Croatia:
AS Monaco 2 (Nene 56pen, Bakar 68)

Ricardo put out the same 4-3-3 formation that drew 1-1 with Toulouse a few days ago, with a few minor personnel changes. The official website says the defensive error that [...]
