It seems my superstitions were well-founded. According to the club’s official website, Jérémy Ménez is off to AS Roma for around 14 million euros.
As I have said before, I am sad to see him go, but he seemed to be twiddling his thumbs waiting for his big move anyway. The price is quite also [...]

ASM 1-1 Caen plus mercato-mania

AS Monaco 1 (Nimani 52)
Caen 1 (Leko 74og)
Sorry about the late report….anyway, this match was very similar to last week’s match with Nantes in that Monaco had decent chances but only managed one goal and then the opposition equalized through a fluke. The lack of a number #9 continues to haunt the club, though that [...]

Nantes 1 (Keseru 66)
AS Monaco 1 (Meriem 4)

This should be an excellent signing, we already have fellow Croatians Pokrivac and Jerko Leko in the side to help him get [...]

Paris St. Germain 0
Much to the chagrin of the French media, PSG could not manage a single point at the Stade Louis II yesterday. It was nice to see so many spectators, I hope they weren’t all Parisian fans and journalists.
Monaco won despite losing Adriano and Cufre early in the first [...]

Monaco concluded their pre-season program with a 0-0 draw against Roma at the Stade Louis II. Despite the lack of goals, there was plenty for this blogger to get excited about…actually the lack of goals was quite good news.
