danielgear Posted December 22, 2014 Author Share Posted December 22, 2014 2022/23 season Review Serie A 3rd Blew the title on the final day. 3rd's not the end of the world Champions League Quarter Finals Lost to Bayern. We were all but through until injury time then lost on pens TIM Cup Champions Beat Inter 5-0 in the final Supercoppa di Lega TIM Runners up Lost to Juventus 1-0 Fans Player of the Year Team Of the Year Former Clubs Paderborn 13th Another goodd season for them Peterborough 3rd Missed out in the playoffs back to league football Lens 9th Mid table again Deportivo 14th great season for them Mezokovesd 14th survived relegation by 3 points Next Season I'll stay for now but am looking for my next move. Rodgers is very insecure at Liverpool which looks like the only "bigger" club looking to sack their manager. I cant stand Liverpool in real life but I like to try & keep real life out of this and do what is best for my manager. I'll try & improve this summer and see if we can go better next season.

danielgear Posted December 23, 2014 Author Share Posted December 23, 2014 2023/24 pre season review Expectations Transfers In Matias Villegas sold him to Atletico in 2021 for £18.5m he was being wasted so re signed him for £15m 22 year old chilean defensive midfielder. Now have two quality options here Neto 22 year old brazilian centre back World class is an improvement on Ivancic for £8m less Gareth Bird 24 year old English left winger been tracking him for a few years now finally got him Younger and improvement on Anderson Tiago Martins 21 year old Portugal centre midfielder World class player already Its cost me £75m but with De Nuzzo I probably have the best two young centre midfielders in europe 22 & 21 could be together a long time Akrum Jassim 21 swedish centre back in on loan as cover Transfers Out Friendlies Review Great pre season. Feel like I have improved the team from last season and brought in younger players Turnt down a £49.75m bid for Meite from PSG & Manchester United because I wouldn't be able to replace him.

danielgear Posted December 28, 2014 Author Share Posted December 28, 2014 January 2024 Update Results Table Transfers In Pascal Cruden 24 year old dutch right back Arsenal had no right backs in their squad so I went for Cruden as someone I knew and might be available Fede Cartabia 31 year old Argentina Winger We needed some cover on both flanks he will do until the summer, Hector De Nuzzo 23 year old Argentina Center Midfielder Only 1 Center midfielder in the first team saw me promote Kyle Andrews from the u18s & blow my entire budget on this man to join me. Transfers Out Kyle Andrews Debut Review The squad is so unbalanced. quality is there but in the wrong places. Cleared out some players that I could sell & don't need. Major Rebuild in summer. Some handy youth players rotting in the reserves will actually get a chance under me. Think Fiorentina might get some more money from me in the summer as I require a Keeper & fancy Ayala. Good start to my Arsenal career just couldn't score against West ham in the FA Cup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
