Poor end to the season but onwards and upwards

Any positions you're looking to bring in new players for?


Disappointing end to the season.

After spending 33M on new reinforcements on positions we need improving on I'm happy with who we brought in

I will post the transfers up soon

I agree As we only needed a win in May to finish 6th or so.

I have brought in great players that will boost the teams. Yeah, just hope we can max it out soonish and get good youngsters through intakes.

Aston Villa just offered 28M for Lukas Podolski. I'm not sure what do /o\ Shall I cash him in and sign young striker?

No surprise they wants him after cracking season with us. They also sold their striker to Spurs.

Gutted but it's hard to turn down 28M for 32 years old.

Targets for Podolski's replacements

Vincent Aboubakar
Jackson Martinez
Richairo Živković

Wolfsborg accepted 20M for Zivkovic and currently in contract talks.

Also after this regen,

He will be our number 1 striker

I will probably get the regen and stop spending.

Thanks SBR. He does look good, I have played him few times but struggled to get scoring so hopefully he will when he gets back from Brazil.

Failed with our previous attempt to get Urawa Red Diamonds for merchandise feeder club. So I decided to leave it to the chairman this time. Hopefully he can get a good one.

Delighted with the signings I have made in the summer

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/8OTt5ggDPP6b2oseIV7ubYZhNK4dOaKv8qmNCl9o.png
Pre signed him around January as my scout recommended him as he was star of the Italian Youth club invitational.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/9YGiWmGlzlvLI9r3Nuwo1fNJW5q9oKH6oVcCUGaK.png
Massively happy to sign Tah, will be massive player for us in our defence alongside Vida. I guess we can say tah very much for him

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/IKjxhGu5hyq7muKnZXzcuSnEMrcvb2bD44cTfFTb.png

I brought Murphy in as Lozano's replacement, as he's English He had good season at Norwich.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/pNkG6z8ScK7N4pzLbg73rZxcuP5rNaxyq8UVaUYC.png

Brought this youngster in as my scout rated him highly.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/o1uViQtuHJvE1MObhrjHMCIAgzxMNoDoGKkGVCUH.png

Ahh Ruben Neves I was after him for a while as Porto refused to sell him, I went back for him after found out he refusing to extend his contract so I took advantage of it and they wanted 14M for him. Hopefully he will be our star player this season.

http://i.imgur.com/aeIP7Us.png

Surprised I got him on cheap. He wanted to leave Marseille, and I needed another defender which was him

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/sjfojF7oQQ7LAn5EZ2ZXhbMNeJFWsSUVhG6On9wU.png

Fischer \o/ I was in a tough mind as I was also in talks with Tello from Barcelona. I decided to go for Fischer in the end, as he wanted 27.5K p/w when Tello wanted 90K No brainer there

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/c4rLaZDpk96627Khsih0ayaBAGhZn1ZcvIrye5g7.png

Completely forgotten I signed this guy /o\ Will be in U's21 this season.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/g48PnhbMsRjT0wzcVsXteW1cI7qyPU3VRNDnOD6d.png
He has a great game against us which prompt me to sign him but unfortunately he has failed to gain work permit. so I'm willing to take a gamble on him.


OUT

Scott Wotton - kept complaining about lack of first team football, so I decided to sell him. Not bad profit for us after signing him on free last season.

Winston Reid - Decided to sell him as he kept making too many mistakes for us and decided to move him on.

Lukas Podolski - Leaves with heavy heart But he's now at age of 32. Would be crazy to turn down 28M.

Hirving Lozano - Came to me saying he wants to leave cos of Juventus interest in him, I said I will let you go til they match our valuation. But Juventus went on to sign someone else So Fiorentina took him off me. Hence why I brought in Murphy.

Jean-Armel Kana-Biyik - Like Reid, kept making mistakes. Happy to see him go, as I feel we got much better defenders now at the club.


I'm half way through to my pre season, which will be updated shortly.

Cheers DP91 Was heartbreaking to sell Lukas but he's 32 and would probably starting to decline.

I do get your point there. But my aim is to sign young players and turn them into world class instead of bringing in big names players for massive fee where I can get youngsters on cheap, to save the club money wise

Hope I cleared it up for you.

Pre season results

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/95aSOtCwnoXpDkcrhEjoJJGadSbGQ1CT28bASX0o.png

Pretty happy with our pre season to South Korea, our 3-1 loss was a mistake from Hardwedge (GK) and Daniel Doyle giving away late penalty.

Late goals from Lennon and Clemente saw us beat San Lorenzo in Mark Noble's Testimonial.

Disappointed with our 4-2 loss to Genoa We threw away 2 goals leads and they got one back before half time and all of sudden, 2 mistakes from Tah and Auretentxe gifted them the goals to see us crashing to a loss.

I decided to revert back to our 4-4-1-1 formation and we played brilliantly against Fiorentina and we also dominated the game. Harrop scored the only goal on 18th minutes with a strike outside the box.

I have made one last addition to the squad. Costing me 3.8M. My scout found him while scouting in Czech Republic. Gave him 4 stars rating on his potential.

Out:

Jan Schmidt to Silkeborg IF - 2.1M - Wanted to leave for first team football, they came out of nowhere and offered him 2M to take him off my hands. Was never going to get first team football here.

Edgar Garcia - Atlético Nacional - loan for the season - Decided to accept their loan for him as I want him to gain game time there before coming back next season.

Paul Hassan - Swansea FC - loan for the season - I felt he's not quite ready to play for first team yet, so Swansea wanted him on loan as rotation so I accepted it. Hope he does well there.
