rlipscombe Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Real Oviedo - Liga Adelante - Start of Season 2012-13 So, as previously mentioned, this summer was a busy time for me as I worked on shuffling the squad a bit with an eye on both immediate form, as well as planning for a bright future Transfers As you can see, there was plenty of activity with 16 arrivals to the club, not to mention a few signings in the late stages of last season. obviously this meant a number of departures also in order to balance the books. Notable departures include Juninho Pernambucano who retired, Rodney Sneijder who had proved a squad player at best, Marcos who had been extremely unsettled last season which led to his form nose-diving, Nunes who served us well last season but who was diminishing in quality, and Javi Martinez who had been our no.1 goalkeeper the season before last but who was being overtaken by the youth coming in. So, what about the newcomers I hear you ask? Well here are some of the players who have come in to bolster the team with immediate effect: Samuel - Quality young RB who has immediately become a first-team regular. his leadership qualitites have earned him the vice-captaincy as well as understudy to Rodriguez. I have high hopes for him in the future. Situ - young French CB with big potential. is pushing hard for a permanent first-team place. Polak - Czech CB brought in to bolster the squad. At 23, he’s not exactly old but compared to my other signings, he’s a veteran. Ribeiro - Another ‘veteran’ at 23, brought in for a bargain fee from Benfica to bolster the squad. Have subsequently signed a VERY promising youngster which might mean his stay at the Carlos Tartiere might be a little brief… time will tell. Garcia Ardura - young Spanish U-21 LM with MASSIVE potential. already has great technical stats and can only develop here. Will keep Jaime on his toes for a starting place. Martinez - young striker signed on a free from Barcelona, I have high hopes for the lad. Will be a bench player predominantly, but may get game time depending on injuries. Bernal - young Argentinian striker signed from River Plate who will also bolster the squad. has a spanish passport which also helps. Another striker with a big future. And now those brought in to help define Real Oviedo’s future… Denis - young Paraguayan GK bought for a nomial fee. Has good potential although not part of the squad as yet. Casado - another young GK with big potential, signed on a free from Almeria. Yuste - WB/L signed after his relase from Valencia. re-training to be a LB as didn’t do overly well in pre-season. one for the future definitely. Munoz - very gifted DMC already but who will be left to mature for a season or two. Hopefully will be the future of Oviedo, along with the next fellow…. Raul - signed following his relase from Barcelona, a player I HAD to sign. Oozes quality already, I have decided to give him at least half a season in the youth team to settle in. Potentially a world-class player. Touted as the next Senna. will do for me!! Andoni - what a midfield we might have in a few years… signed following his release by Real Madrid, Andoni ‘could be the next Xavi…’ Need I say any more?? Del Sol - signed for a nominal fee, another with bags of potential. looking to loan him out for some experience. I also wanted to show you this guy, a product of our youth academy: Villaneuva - gifted midfielder (yes, another one!!) who has been labelled the next Xabi Alonso. the second best player after Montiel to come from the academy. So, as you can see the future seems pretty secure after adding the above (and more not mentioned) to our existing aquad. I have really high hopes for our future - the last Spanish Under-19 squad featured 9(!!) Oviedo players…. i have managed to keep Palacios, Jaime, Pinto and Sielva, and Antonio, who i hadn't realised quite how good he is, is also still with us despite being keen to leave. been turning down bids of almost a million for him so far. I signed a new 4-year contract in the summer and the board have announced they are going to develop further the training facilities, although they’re already great for our league. good to see the board planning for the future too. As for the league season, it’s started well so far as I push for the promotion spot I crave. We crashed in the cup at the first hurdle which disappointed me a lot, but hey ho. Chief goalscorer in the early stages - ‘KING’ JORGE RODRIGUEZ!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iacovone Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 rancer - up by 1 point! Great work making it to La Liga (about time someone joined me in a top flight! I'm looking at you here rlipscombe ). Matias Rodriguez looks like he'll do a good job for you, great stats for a striker. Look forward to your La Liga updates Now onto rlipscombe......: I actually disagree a little with your new signings ! I reckon Martinez could be your best of the lot, all round good at everything! Garcia Ardura definitely has potential its just a shame about his pace, although if you utilise his crossing ability by making him cross from deep without having to go past opposition RBs he could be essential to you. Samuel looks a good choice for VC but maybe not Cpt as his determination is only 8. But hopefully that will improve over time. Onto the future Oviedo players: Denis is superb for only 19 years old! He's just like my 21 year old sub keeper Savas - almost identical stats. Casado is also similar. Yuste I would retrain to a LB as his dribbling is 10 and not really good enough to be a top top class WBL. Munoz would be more suited to a MC role than a DM role imo as his defensive stats aren't great. Raul on the other hand has everything you need to be a world class DM. If you can get him tutored by a mentally strong DM you could have a real star on your hands. In fact pairing him with Ribeiro might not be that bad an idea. Andoni is another with great potential. Del Sol could go either way. You must be very proud to see Villaneuva come through too. All in all I'm impressed mate - hope you don't think I've been too critical!! You know I just like seeing how your game is going . Seriously if you have the patience to see these players develop you won't need to buy barely 1 player for the next few years! The OVIEDO YOUTH have been born!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlipscombe Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 not at all iacovone... i appreciate your comments. i might even pair up Raul and Ribeiro on your recommendation... i am proud to see Villaneuva come throught. it's all good buying in the youth, but it is nice to get your own gems too. hopefully him and Montiel are the base of our future. as for not making the top flight, i have been away taking the northern Monkeys up a league..... and i am only just starting season 4, so have a bit of time on rancer in that respect....

iacovone Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Oh and a quick Savona update as I've not done one yet this season. After 9 games we're sitting 1st I knew I'd strengthened the squad in the summer but didn't realise just how much! We're now so strong at the back and our forwards Rotunno and Zaninelli have picked up where they left off last season (where they bagged 50 goals between them in all comps!). So combined with the good form of the players has been a change in tactics - I now play my usual 442 at home but a 4231 away from home. We've won 5 out of 5 away and 3 out of 4 (1 draw) at home. This included our first ever win over the mighty AC Milan 2-0. They're the reigning Scudetto champions as well so it certainly sets us in good stead for a title challenge. I genuinely believe we could win the league this year. I'll keep you posted and if there are any screenshots you'd like to see just ask Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlipscombe Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 good stuff iacovone!! keep it up... hopefully you can keep that up. our early season form saw us 5 points clear with a 6-0-0 record... then we lost HALF the squad to internationals and we've just lost our first game 1-0..... As for Montiel, he's developing a bit in the youth team at the moment.... if he keeps up his form i might promote him back into the first team squad at Christmas...

iacovone Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Yeah seems like he'll need a bit more time to develop, maybe pair him with KING RODRIGUEZ I noticed hes scored loads for the youth team, are they doing well?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rancer890 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Real Oviedo Summer Transfers (2014) Transfers I was more aggressive than years past, because I want to stay in the top flight... The New Players Eugene Shakhov - my prized signing. I will need him to be at his best if I want to avoid relegation... Jesus - originally sold to Spartak for $4 million, I wanted him back. I gave a loan fee of $1 million, and a future transfer fee of $4.4 million, and I will activate that clause. It's not a lot, as I get 50% of the transfer back. So only paying $2.2 million. I still get a $800k profit. Joao - young Brazilian. He's only 18, so he has a lot of room to grow. Jose Reina - another former Oviedo player who came back to my team. Will provide very good depth at right back, something I was missing last year. Raul Perez Rodriguez - young goalkeeper who's already starting for my team. Signed this May after being released from Zaragoza. Why I got rid of players this transfer window: Jorge - he's was number 9 in my goalkeeper depth chart... Marc Munoz - was average in his games in Liga adelante, and definately cannot compete in La Liga Miguel Angel Sanchez - loaned out for 1st team experience Karoly Szabo - sold for profit, wasn't going to play a lot anyways Giuseppe Masi - no future at my club, so loaned out Hosni Abd Rabo - surplus of midfielders, and since he's a foreigner, I have no room for him Andreas Savvidis - another midfielder, this one from Cyrus, wasn't getting much playing time anyways this season if he stayed Rodney Sneijder - couldn't crack my starting lineup. Sold him at a $200k loss... Loic Colin - was number 8 in my goalkeeper depth chart... Radim Soukup - was the most expendable, and needed a bit of cash, so off he went back to the Czech Republic.

TanO Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 2015/16 G D R Monsanto End of Season Update Monsanto most impoved side in the country, fail to capitalize on success. The start of the 2015/16 season saw the opposite of last year in the transfer window, with more players out of the door than in this year. Antonio Miguel looked the most promising of this new batch, possibly challenging Tiago Melo for his regular DM place. A weak start but strong finish to the season saw Monsanto climb to previous unthinkable highs, finishing 4th in the Liga Vitalis. The clubs season was epitomised by the incredible 3-4 away win over Varzim, demostrating how the players time and again overcame the odds to steal points from their opponents. Many fans would undoubtably point to the Quarter final of the League Cup as their highlight of the season, despite losing that game 2-0, and Miguel was certainly a bargain buy, having played every game and winning the fans player of the year award. Things look promising for next season too, with more sensible signings to bolster the squad Centreback Miguel, Left winger Helder, utility player Fernando Lima, and strikers Avelino Rica and Andre Dias will hopefully be good enough and injury free to replace those leaving.

TanO Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 2016/17 G D R Monsanto End of Season Update Changing room split threatens club survival ! Well this will be a short update, I'm just glad to get that season over and done with ! We got off to a bad start, the media began attacking me and the sub strikers formed a clique demanding first team football. All in all a terrible season, but we survived just, finishing a lucky 13th. Top performer was new boy Miguel at centreback. In the summer the dissenting voices have been dropped and I have high hopes for the new batch. Our new goalkeeper Bruno is a class above the current GKs. Forward Jose Figuiera may start on the bench but his composure and technique will hopefully earn him a starting place in time. Vitor Ferreira should strengthen cover for the midfield. The most exciting business in the transfer window is the signing of 3 players on loan from Benfica, attacking midfielder Octavio Fernandez, pacey striker Luis Vieira and the star of the show, Valter Conceicao who at 1.2M has a value equal to the combined total of the rest of the squad 3 times over !!

Out of Oviedo were some key players from years past, like former captain Andrea Paolucci, who just couldn't play in the Spanish top flight, but still considers me favoured personnel.

Razer82 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Razer82 - Real Oviedo - Spanish Second Division B1 Media Prediction - 14th Final Position - 6th Transfer Team Stats A tough first season as an entire team needed to be brought in but the team gelled quickly and we were able to make a go at getting into a playoff spot. Inconsistent form for the final 8 games saw us drop from 2nd to 6th, losing to two of the relegated sides in the process. Wins in both our final games would have secured us a playoff place, but a draw and a win was what we ended up with. Star player for the year was Chando, our top scorer with 18. He was always on hand to add goals when they were needed. A couple of the signings that were made this year are Under-19 internationals for Spain. Lazaro and Rodriguez can hopefully be a big part of my team for years to come. Financially, this season was amazing, under the wage budget and huge gate receipts mean that I could get quite a transfer budget for next season. I've got 1 aim for next season - Promotion.
