A new season is upon Will Still. After finishing season 4 in 3rd behind Marseille and PSG we qualified for champions league again but in the qualification round.

Finishing up season 4 with a win in the Coupe National marking Stills first proper silverware. We won the Trophee de champion. Reaching the quarter finals of the champions league getting knocked out clinically by a rampant Ac Milan.

Still has changed up the side with a tweaked formation opting for an out and out striker rather than the false 9 for the new season.

Getting an offer for Chaibi from Premier league Nottingham Forest I had to sell and getting £58mill for the lad it was a no brainier. Striker reinforcements were on Stills agenda going for the Dutch French based player in Thijs Dallinga and taking David Datro Fofana off Chelsea’s hands for a combined £55mil

£36mil of the Chaibi money was put into Kamaldeen Sulemana from now championship Southampton.

Leeds came calling for Malik Fofana and after negotiations we settled on a sale for £28mil He was replaced by David Costa formerly of Lens so has ligue 1 experience. Nordin has seen a change to LW as after not wanting to extend a contract Mbuku was sold for profit to Wolfsburg for £25mill.

A couple of the rotational wingers were loaned out so not to hamper their development seeing Tibidi make his was to Leeds with Fofana and Odobert spending a season in west Germany at Leverkusen.

Martin Terrier was bought in to add an experienced head for the youngsters at a cut price deal of £19mil (final yr of contract)

Keeping the core of the last seasons squad was on Stills mind but he needed a few reinforcements and new faces. Rennes asked to purchase Aouchiche so we made a swap plus cash for there young player Desiré Doué. Ponceau was then added in a swap for Keita who after a couple of decent performances early on in the season fell off in performances.

Loaned out a couple more rotation and youth prospects but am made one final signing for a young CB who has gone out on loan for the season. A Belgium by the name of Cyril Willems. (Vertonghen regen)

A third into season 5 and sitting atop of the table with PSG breathing down our necks. Champions league group of Man City, Wolfsburg and LASK.
