Very happy how we started the season, few close games where we lost due to individual mistakes. We was very, very unlucky to go out against Schalke, even Roberto Di Matteo, says they was and admitted we was the better side! Roll on 2015! The board wants Europa League qualification which I'm sure we can this season I'm struggling to get the best out of Max Kruse My aims with Gladbach is to bring in youngsters into first team (few already been playing for us like Joshua Holbty and Dahoud.

In Europa League, we finished top of the group with 2 games to spare, we will be playing Villarreal in First Knockout Round, first leg in Spain.

Special mention goes to him! 22 goals in 25 games, been amazing for us and just signed new contract til 2019. Been capped 4 times by Sweden, this season.

Brought him in as back up and already played few games for us.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/is0CexEDCq7WD72e7A5QbxhEXJfOrkhRiYDSTAGC.png

Ahhh, Begovic Have been utterly brilliant for us since joining in the summer.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/SaHdVfGQrqOSxqAic1Qnt9GKf99ZvL9m8LWb6DKX.png

Just recently joined us and scout thinks he could be a decent player.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/CTbB4TbdzdlY8UaaPxW7B1W5WZrqT6mZI0PEGNgX.png

Spent 8M on as Domínguez's replacement.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/CQATcWCsWlDJN2cyG2108vdewzbQ5V817kVDGHQD.png

Another American . Will be decent back up for us.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/ZphHh4Q4yCmzZJpNN4LXI9Q1kk4funYc7auoZHV9.png

Yup, Third American joins us /o\ Tempted to turn him into an striker/Treq/ false 9.

I was looking at a article (think it was on Football Manager Stories) other day about how American youngsters turns into decent players in the future and that prompted me to look at cheap American to snap up on free.


Feeder clubs

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/mrrrKoA17TvgOs95865klF9t3lrUt0xhRCVjA8CM.png

Shame we're only getting 9M for Kruse Due to his release clause in his contract. Came in saying he wants to leave due to Atlético Madrid interest in him, tried to convince him to stay but wants to go to play in Champions League. Offered him out for 20M but clubs came with 9M. Scored 5 goals in 11 games.

Have got few youngsters in U's19 are playing well so might take a punt on them or switch to 4-2-3-1 from 4-4-2.

I still don't know why I signed him in the first place. /o\ Didn't make any appearance for us. Not bad profit and we get 50% of next transfer.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/BhLbusUy0EBbcbnoMKk0ztTaxcXbQSalGU30M6e3.png

Good riddance!! Been sent off third time this season, warned him twice and fined him a week wage, came up saying it was unfair, so I decided to sell him soon as possible and Fiorentina took him off me for 11.25M. But Arsenal gets 2.8M

Will be tough especially with teams around me, Already played Bayern and Dortmund away so hopefully we can do them at home!

I couldn't reject any offers for Kruse as he got 9M release clause.

He already been excellent for us since joining. He got 60M release clause so I won't be selling him til they match it

When I use 4-4-2 (most of the time) he play as ML - winger attack. If I'm playing 4-2-3-1, he plays as Treq behind striker.

Would be amazing if we could get him back for next season,but he just came back from few months out injured.

Fantastic work so far! I've never considered managing Borussia Mönchengladbach before, but they really do look like a class act in real life, and on your save.

Good luck for the CL push, hope you can secure it for them!!

Good luck with Monchengladbach, I had some good fun when I managed them before my laptop died. Surprised to see Hrgota doing so well, he was rubbish for me. Also has the update removed Andre Hahns release clause? It was something like £3.2m so you'll want to get rid of that if its still there!

Wow, HOYD picked him as best intakes this season, and I agree with him! He's also labelled as could be the next Paul Breitner.

Thanks Willz I'm enjoying it immensely especially few youth making their breakthrough into first team.

Good club Gladbach mate, really interesting career to start up.

Yup, we just got our youth intakes and hopefully I can develop them into unbelievable players I'm going to try and blood in youngsters than splashing silly cash elsewhere.

Thanks! Unfortunately, Hrgota is having a blip Has not scored since 1st February in all competitions.

But lucky for us, Rizzo, is in hot form for us Been superb since taking over Kruse's place. Currently got 8 goals in 8 games.

Regarding about Hahn's contract, just taken a look and it's not there thankfully.

Pretty happy how we started two months \o/ Surprised to see Rizzo is on fire with his brace against Dortmund. But pissed off with our lost against Frankfurt and Koln as 2 individual mistakes in both matches saw us lose We ease through against Villarreal, where we will be playing Gala, in next round, first leg in Turkey.

Got few games left to finish the season, so will update soon.

Get in \o/ \o/ We was guarantee a CL spot for next season after we beat Hertha, but we needed a point against Mainz, to finish 2nd as Dortmund, could have overtook us if we slipped up against Mainz. But Dortmund lost 1-0 to Werder but Schalke and Leverkusen overtook them Disappointed not to beat Mainz. We gave our best against Gala but they was too good for us But happy we only conceded 2 goals in April and May since we lost to Hoffenheim.

Gutted Hrgota not scoring alot of goals for us in 2015 which I was hoping him to bang 30+ with him hitting his form Might look into the market for a proper goal scoring striker, initially Man Utd wanted 23M for Javier Hernandez, which I agreed to, but he wanted 91K p/w and him and his agent wanted 5M for signing on fee Told them where to go! So I might try the loan option in the summer. Unfortunately, Thorgan Hazard won't be coming back to us for second season Chelsea was being an arsehole, they wanted 125K per month fee plus us paying 100% of his wages, but I wasn't prepared to do that. So goodbye, Thorgan Might look at De Buyne instead.

Transfer budget

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/1hXGRgrDwWDMV2QaunKSrHcMA2FNAEUcb4c8IGvK.png

Was given 15M after we qualified for CL. I have already pre signed a regen from Belgium. so probably why I was given 15M to spend. I will be looking to get rid of few players ie Sommer etc etc and bring in decent players. Currently looking at Jonathan Tah from HSV.

They're frankly ridiculous on this game. They was heading for unbeaten season til Leverkusen, beat them 2-0.

I don't think we'll be spending alot on new players in the summer as I want to keep bringing in youth through.

Will be busy summer as I decided to let most of my staff leave as contract running out. And bring in better qualities coaches.
