The Manager
LOSC today confirm the signing of Marco Castillo as manager, ahead of the 2016/17 season.
Castillo, 28, is a Spanish national who holds French citizenship, and has been promoted to his first management role in elite football after working within the club as youth coach, as well as an opposition and team performance analyst, having joined the club in 2011 under then manager, Rudi Garcia.
"It's a great honour for me to be trusted with this responsibility. I have been here for many years, and have been privileged to grow with the club in this time. I am familiar with the club and the players, and I know what the fans want and expect."
"The club have been very honest with me and we agree on the future of this team. We want LOSC to become a leader in world football, and we want the world to recognise this crest."
"For me, it is important that we want to have the ball, and work hard to get it when we don't. We want to excite the supporters, and to do this we need to score goals."
"As a fan of this club, I understand that a name like mine, with this experience is not what you would expect, but I ask for the support and chance to give this city the club it deserves, and a club to be proud of. We are all in this together, and we will achieve a great many things."
Castillo has signed an initial 1 year contract with Le LOSC.

Summary Summer 16':
That's all I'll need.
Merci!
Thank you!
Dziękuję! A really nice club that hasn't been the same since Hazard left... time to change that! Maybe el-Ghazi or Kishna will be the messiah!
“This is a group of players that have largely not played together before, and definitely not with me. It will take time for them to adapt, and of course when they do we will begin to see the fruits of our labour.”
"I do not want to spend so long here today, I would prefer to get back on the training pitch."
“You look at this game from the statistics and you wonder how LOSC are not the winners here. But from the game you can see we have work to do, and we need to make sure things are smoother.”
“In one moment, the ball is in their corner and we are pressing with 3 or 4 players, and first they escape - this should never happen. Then a long ball, we do not deal with it, one mistake, and 2-0.”
“Richardo [Kishna] scored a fantastic solo effort, and for sure he will do it again. He works hard, and shows his talents during the games. We are thankful to have players like this. Young Bissouma did very well. He had a good 45 minutes with some nice moments. I can tell you now this player will be with us this season.”
“Lastly, I would like to announce that Soualiho Meïté will not be away [on loan] this season, and has been recalled. He will play against Udinese.”
“Difficult game. We knew before that we needed to score two maybe three goals to advance in the tournament. From this we were too heavy in our desire the first half, and perhaps this was why the players were more tired in the second half.”
“Of course we can talk about the two penalties that never were, but this is pre-season, it would be nice but it is not so important. This is football, these things happen, and we want to talk about them.”
“It’s never a good thing to lose any player, but especially in pre-season. Éder will take maybe 4-6 weeks - we know it is a sprain of the ankle.”
“We go home without a win, but with a lot of thoughts, you may argue the importance of both against the other, but the truth is each without the other is a disappointment.”
“Next for us are some behind closed doors fixtures, a lot of training and then FC Metz in the league. We will have more opportunity, some new players, and we will do the best we can.”
LOSC finish bottom of their group in the pre-season tournament in Switzerland, the team will now travel back to France and begin preparations for the new season.

The pre season results are not to be positive... but it is just pre season.
Now real football start
Thanks! The next few updates will shape the squad...
Thanks! and tell me about it! But here's one to soften the blow!
And I love the minikits added in the match report!
Thanks! Just thought it'd add a little!
Cheers guys, excited about Mbappe too! I've just been to the Etihad to see him score against Man City!
Here's the next bit!
Vincent Enyeama signs for Chelsea FC. A speculated €20m fee has been agreed which sees the 33 year-old Lille veteran sign for the London club.
Enyeama signed for Lille in 2011, amassing over 100 appearances for the club.
Fans are said to be in disarray with this deal leaving the team without an experienced goalkeeper. Only Mike Maignan, 21, and Jean Butez, 21, remain at the club. Some fans took to social media to voice their discontent;
LOSC have thanked Vincent for his service, and wished him all the best in his remaining years and success in England.

Wonderful tweets there... Very nice graphics once again!
Hard to turn down such big money! I had made a mistake with the tweets that I did not catch!
Here's a double-update - feeling bad about flooding with updates twice/three times daily so I'll get past the transfer window and switch to mid-monthly (in-game) updates, so I'm not bumping the thread all day with each game!
Shame Enyeama has gone but it was a lot of money. Roussillon seems handy though.
Thanks! Here's another!
Thanks for following guys. Having already played some games with him, he's been sensational in some games.
Nope! Look at the player and if I think they can play a different position to their 'listed', I'll do it. I prefer him there to others and I have a fluid play anyway.
LOSC Lille today confirmed the signing of 19 year-old, Youri Tielemans from RSC Anderlecht on a long-term contract.
The Belgian midfielder joins with an ever-growing reputation as one of the hottest prospects in world football.
Manager Marco Castillo welcomed Youri to LOSC.
“The signing of Youri for us is an fantastic one. There is no club in Europe that would turn this young man down.”
“It is of great testament to the direction this club is heading that a talent like Youri decides this is the place for him.”
“We are proving what I said when this club will be a hub for young talent. We are building a core of players that will wear this crest for many, many years.”
“He will be straight in to the fold.”
Youri will wear the #31 shirt.
