Fola Posted September 5, 2019 Author Share Posted September 5, 2019 April '23 Well deserved. Been a key player for me over the last few seasons. Surely got to get an Italy call up soon. Had a short loan out when he first joined the club but a key player ever since. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fola Posted September 5, 2019 Author Share Posted September 5, 2019 April '23 A good experienced player who has done a great job when called upon. Really happy to be able to bring him in permanently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fola Posted September 5, 2019 Author Share Posted September 5, 2019 April '23 A real shame this one. He's performed so well for us this season and last season too. I just hope he can come back better than ever and this doesn't ruin him because it's a bad one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fola Posted September 5, 2019 Author Share Posted September 5, 2019 April '23 Signed up another one of the boys who have been with me since the start. A key player for me as a left IWB. Just look at those average ratings. What a player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fola Posted September 5, 2019 Author Share Posted September 5, 2019 April '23 - May '23 We are the CHAMPIONS my friend. It was a shame to not go the season unbeaten but to win the title for a second year running when we were predicted to finish 8th is a great feat by the lads. A shame to lose the cup final but just luck of the draw with that one. 101 points and 114 goals. Just won the double and this is the budget I get. This board need to leave sharpish.

Fola Posted September 5, 2019 Author Share Posted September 5, 2019 Season 22/23 - Player season stats Goalkeepers Mattia Perrin was once again my starting goalkeeper and had another great season. He was injured for a short time so Alessio Furlanetto stepped in and did well. Vito Mannone was our number 3 keeper and will retire in the summer. Defenders Arturo Calabresi was once again a rock for me at the back. Jonathan Panzo rarely featured and will probably be moved on in the summer. Paolo Bianciardi had a great first full season at the club and gained an international call up- he spent the majority of the season at RB but I do see him as a CB in the future. Luca Gallina ended the season as our starting RB and did really well. Antony Angileri played pretty much every game for us. Mattia De Sciglio will join us permanently in the summer and is a solid back up. Ibrahima Mbaye will leave the club in the summer and didn't feature at all this season. Federico Mattiello was my starting LB while Federico Dimarco and Angelo Pifarotti didn't get much of a look in. Midfielders Alessandro Murgia was a class act in centre midfieler as a MZ- how he hasn't had an Italy call up, I will never know. Bruma got a lot of injuries this season but still managed to bag 17 goals which is very impressive. Remy Delaporte had a strong first season at the club. Luis Alberto did well and I would like to bring him in permanently but I doubt we will be able to afford him. Theo had another strong season when called upon. Byron Rivera is one for the future. Pedro Neto had a great goalscoring season and was regularly rotated with Riccardo Orsolini who unfortunately has a bad knee injury. Sergio Gomez and Pelayo Morilla are just class acts- the best players in this side. Strikers Fabio Silva is already a superstar and was once again, my top goalscorer- he's already a legend at this club. Orji Okwonkwo actually played the whole season on LW and managed 12 goals. Cosimo Marco Da Graca is a great back up for Silva. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fola Posted September 5, 2019 Author Share Posted September 5, 2019 May '23 I also had all of these guys out on loan. I will probably loan the majority of them out again next season. Good to Paul Glatzel doing well for Fulham in the Championship, I would like to get him out on loan in Serie A next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fola Posted September 6, 2019 Author Share Posted September 6, 2019 June '23 I bought him in on a free transfer last season but as the board would only give me 15% of the transfer fee, I don't really see the point of selling him. He's a very good player but he is unhappy now because he wants more money. I have tried to offer him a new deal but the board won't allow me to offer him any more than £49k a week which is rubbish for a player of his quality. He is trying to force a move away now but he won't be going anywhere unless I get an increase in the transfer revenue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fola Posted September 6, 2019 Author Share Posted September 6, 2019 June'23 Just thought I'd have a quick look at my incomings and outgoings over the seasons since I have been here. I have won two league titles and got us into Europe on 3 occasions and the board have only given me £1 million to spend- I struggle to see how I can improve this team without selling players. Even then, I will only get 15% of any transfer fee which will end up with nothing pretty much. My worry is that the more we win things, the more the board will expect this every season. But if we end up selling players, then I won't be able to achieve this and it could cost me my job at some point. I will include this season but I haven't announced who has left/been bought yet- I will do that in future posts. SEASON 1 TRANSFER SPENT = £9.25 million TRANSFER RECEIVED = £3 million SEASON 2 TRANSFER SPENT = £25 million TRANSFER RECEIVED = £22 million SEASON 3 TRANSFER SPENT = £39 million TRANSFER RECEIVED = £8.25 million SEASON 4 TRANSFER SPENT = £20.5 million TRANSFER RECEIVED = £22.5 million SEASON 5 TRANSFER SPENT = £71 million TRANSFER RECEIVED = £65 million SEASON 6 (Ongoing) TRANSFER SPENT = £18 million TRANSFER RECEIVED = £33.5 million OVERALL TRANSFER SPENT = £182.75 million TRANSFER RECEIVED = £154.5 million NET TOTAL = - £28.25 million So over the past 6 seasons and all the success that we have had, if you look at the incomings minus the outgoings, I have spent £28.25 million which at this level is remarkable. The worry here is that the board are now expecting Champions League football so the better we do, the more they want but I am not backed financially enough to do this.

Fola Posted September 6, 2019 Author Share Posted September 6, 2019 August '23 The Italian transfer window has shut now and for now, we have managed to keep a number of our key players. I have a feeling though that the window is still open for other countries even though ours has shut so there could be a little bit of movement. Lets start with the outgoings. I have brought in £36.5 million into the club this summer and only spent £19.25 million- madness how we're expected to perform under these circumstances. Once again, we have managed to use the loan market to our advantage and managed to bag monthly fees and all wages paid for many of our players. Many our youngsters so won't go into too much detail on them but a few first team players have left. Marco Tumminello joined Wolves for £9 million. He joined us two seasons ago yet spent the last two seasons out on loan so he never kicked a ball for us, we never paid any of his wages and we just gained £9 million. Cosimo Marco Da Graca did really well for me last season but I couldn't ensure him a starting spot this season. He has joined fellow Serie A side Palermo. Paul Glatzel has rejoined Fulham who are in the Premier League this season. The rest are all rotation/backup players for me. Now onto the incomings. Madness really that I have had to rely on free transfers. Mattia De Sciglio and Giovannetti were both out of last seasons budget. Can't believe we managed to get him on a free. Fell out of favour at Lyon so decided to bring him in- direct replacement for Luis Alberto who has returned to PSG. Our new third choice keeper after Vito Mannone retired. Joins due to the knee injury to Riccardo Orsolini. Only on a one year deal- I hope his legs haven't gone. On loan here last season. Italian international. Solid. One for the future. I've been wanting to bring this guy in for years now but I have never been able to afford him. Managed to bring him in on loan until the end of the season.

Fola Posted September 6, 2019 Author Share Posted September 6, 2019 August '23 - September '23 A tough start to the season. Despite on paper, the results looking good, especially against Juventus and Inter, I just can't see us doing as well as previous seasons. We have looked very sloppy at the back and have only kept one clean sheet last season which is very unlike us. I hope I am wrong but I think we may struggle this season- my early prediction is that we will finish 4th. We've been saved so far by Pelayo Morilla who has been fantastic.
