I decided to accept it as I think he's better off playing for them. I mean each players got prices on their head. 69M for him is crazy, I might look at Gill Romero as his replacement or fast track Frederik Vermeulen into first team and improve him and turn him into world class player.

Love you Mr Chairman

I asked for a feeder club for merchandise and he said I can pick one as I have been at the club for ages \o/ So I decided to pick Urawa Red Diamonds and hopefully they will agree. They let me picked a club at beginning of the season which I picked Kashima Antlers but they refused to join up with us.

£69 million! lend me some at TNS? great money mate!

Unbelievable Europa League win Johno congrats! Love the transfer window updates and such in the close season also. £40m for Valencia was such a good sale and the initial investments look very good, plenty of regens with huge potential. Exciting times for WHU with Champions League football, some debts written off and the new stadium which should bring in some good revenue even with the £2m yearly rent fee. Then the Lucas Romero offer! Incredible! As good as he is you just have to sell, I can't remember if you have either but hopefully there's still an opportunity to sign the likes of Gaston Gil Romero or Youri Tielimans with some of the profits which would make it an unbelievable deal and no doubt huge profits for investment. Timo Horn has been good on my save now in 2020 but is still at Koln, would recommend Bernd Leno or Jeronimo Rulli if either are available but just a recommendation! Great career potential now Johno, really picking up now!

I did have a chance to sign Youri, but Monaco stole him off me Horn have been amazing for me but they matched his clause which nothing I can do unless he turn them down Franck de Boer just took over Dortmund after Kloop appointed as Germany manager.

I was sad to see Romero leave as he's our captain but 69M for him is a lot of money and I could sign 2-4 players with the money from the sale.

I'm currently looking at Butland, Courtois (unsettled at Chelsea) and Nicola Leali from Empoli for Horn's replacement. Will take a look at Leno.

Hopefully this season where we step up and challenge for EL spot. Aiming for 6th - 7th finish.

Pre season


https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/IIzBl9SvxNFM0aZzOSe1jS1LVcAcyfx6Co5U1lJx.png

We kicked off the season with a tour to China.

Was disappointed to lose to Shandong Luneng, we was all over them and battered them and couldn't break them down. Their goal was on 60th minutes with a long range shot.

Went for 4-2-3-1 against Guangzhou Evergrande F.C. and we was superb and they struggled to cope against us Kieran Bywater got us in front by getting end of Potts's cross to boot into the net. An own goal extended our lead as their defender sliced Potts's cross into his own net. Jon Aurtenetxe got us third goal of the night after heading in Noble's corner kick. After coming on at half time, Schmidt got us our 4th goal with an volley from Gomez's cross.

We also battered Tianjin Teda F.C.with 3 goals in first half. Aaron Lennon got us underway on 11th minutes with a finish inside the box after good work by Jenkinson. Matt Jarvis scored our second goal, heading in Gomez's cross. We was awarded a penalty on 44th minutes after Lennon was fouled in the box. Zapata blasted it with accuracy into top corner to finish the game 3-0.

Some reason I has the massive urge to try 3-4-3 based on Van Gaal/Guardiola's 3-4-3 with Ajax/Barcelona after reading some articles on his/Guardiola play.

So I went for this

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/exYay9tJT6iWZx3UsLTlD0iiCnYfGqF2Tp8NKshB.png

And I genuinely don't know how we didn't win this match against Beijing, we outplayed them everywhere. They scored just after 1 minute after Noble failed to mark their scorer and scored inside the box. Jaanai Gordon was missing alot of chances for us but got us level, getting onto Honda's pass to score. We has 61% possession against them. Which is quite pleasing as we kept the ball alot and made alot of passes especially DM MC MC.

We was offered a tour to Spain against RCD Mallorca and Valencia. Which we accepted it.

We also outplayed RCD Mallorca despite us drawing 2-2. We got in front on 51st minutes with Honda striking inside the box. 20 minutes, Carl Jenkinson sliced Sastre's shot into our own net ffs. We went behind seven minutes later after Kana-Biyik mistime his header and Gai Assulin headed it in to put them in front. Honda saved our bacon by scoring on 90th minutes with another strike inside the box.

We also outplayed Valencia as well But we went 2-0 down after Gaya took advantage of Wotton's mistake to score an header. Valencia's De Paul scored a free kick on 55th minutes to put them ahead. All of sudden we went crazy and scored 4 goals afterwards

Matt Jarvis got us goal back, Gomez ran toward the box and brought on two players which left Jarvis free, passed it to him and strike into bottom corner. 10 minutes later, Honda got us on leveling term against Valencia, heading in Wotton's cross inside the box. Lozano scored our third goal, after being set up by Gomez again and smashed it into top corner. Got his second goal for us on 89th minutes with another strike inside the box.

God where do I start with out 6-5 loss Utterly pathetic, We went 4-1 up and should have been out of sight by then. But Meh, I'm still happy how we playing our football.

Passes we have made:

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/iIgrCZ7aSHiqRRO8wgKOxnzjKKGFa7yZrUNRlkn4.png

Brought Carl Jenkinson back for back up. Was good for us when he was on loan in the first season.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/OoCopvFi7TOMCsu3JaN2HJo5EyjW8qCBXGDb3DV9.png

His agent offered him to me and I decided to snap him up and beating other 12 clubs for his signature. Will be back up player.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/m9t8GQBYc1xdjEC7OQdEZomGuqtzkP6D31lKEmgb.png

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/5zSdLLWJCXuxlXvrgKoR6hRiTMyWKBAzjfljEaGH.png

We now got 70M to spend and In talks with few Goalkeepers and then no more spending afterwards.

The board won't let me adjust the transfer budget toward wages.

Yeah, I'm in talks with both of them;

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/rN0pwmBYNv9sBpOz4uhLqaO2ZpE3QSI7ZtJG51rS.png

Koval - They wouldn't accept anything less than 14.75M which is his minimum release clause.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/cFTDfpGzhMMygvWjvEZTLXNivvKpm6baP5MGS0EC.png
Leali - They accepted 5.25M bid.

I'm tempted to sign Koval over Leali. What do you guys suggest?

August 2016


https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/NHzwixzTmtbFDyiDKeqNUZOjCDGTWZC7UEeHTAZu.png

Happy with the way we started our season.

But massively disappointed not to beat Newcastle despite Lozano getting late goal for us. We was all over them and just couldn't get pass Krul ffs. Who was in superman mode for some reason.

An mistake from Kana-Biyik gifted Ayoze the goal to put them on front on 55th minutes. Lozano got us the point on 85th minutes with an strike outside the box. We deserved 3 points but stupid Nigel Pearson said we was lucky to be in the game. Really?! When we has 17 shots and you only had 8. Tosser.

Outplayed Blackburn all over the park and should have been more than 4. Lozano got us the lead on 4th minutes with an a finish from 8 yards out after Harrop put him through. Lukas Podolski got us the second goal on twenty minutes with Honda slipping him through and smashed it into top corner.

Blackburn got a goal back through Tom Cairney. After Leali, mistimed getting the ball which Cairney beat him to score /o\ 2 minutes later, Josh Harrop, getting his first goal for the club with good passing between Honda, Podolski and Lozano to set him up to finish inside the box to put us out of sight.

Podolski got our fourth goal with an penalty after being brought down in the box, stepped up to smashed it.

Decided to rotate the team around to keep them wrapped up, some of players performance disappointed me massively, especially Ongenda who keeps missing chances ffs.

Luton took the lead after extra time after another mistake from Kana-Biyik which gave away an penalty. Jarvis saved us with a strike on 108th minutes. Disappointed it took us that long to score when we took 25 shots, 10 on target. Thanksfully our team came out victorious on penalties, 5-3.

Lukas Podolski is banging goals for fun Got us in front within 9th and 12th minutes. Lozano's goal put us in 3 goal leads. Leicester pulled 2 goals back on 42nd minutes and 70th minutes through Bech and Pazzani. Which I got annoyed with the defence Thanksfully Jarvis put my mind at ease with late goal to put the game to bed.

Good start to the season.Hirving Lozano has started like a house on fire.Gutted I missed out on him with spartak.Couldnt help but chuckle when you drew Chelsea.Hope you can get another win over mourinho.Great additions to your backroom staff.And good that your improving facilities.Getting through that group will be a tough ask.Ajax are hit and miss on this game I have found but Bayern are quality every save.
