I am currently managing Boca Juniors in Argentina. I'm second in the league with 3 games in hand on the team leading. According to the board expectations/vision, I am expected to sign high reputation players and sign Colombian players. Currently the board is disappointed with the lack of progress made towards this vision. But why?
First of all, my transfer budget is only about 2 million Pounds. So that would automatically exclude signing high reputable players as they inevitably cost considerably more then 2 million Pounds. On top of that, signing Colombian players of a decent level would also not be able with that transfer budget.
My 2 main strikers at the start of the game are Benedetto and Orsini at the start of the game. Benedetto has scored 27 across all competitions. This is from 26 starts and 6 sub appearances. Orsini has 19 goals across all competitions. This is from 20 starts and 11 as a sub.
I added a 22 year old Argentinian striker from Atletico San Luis from Mexico. While in Mexico he scored 14 from 53 but has so far scored 11 from 9 for me. So he is not high profile but his performances have been excellent.
The board is satisfied with my transfer activity, but only because the player agreed to lower wages when compared to his ability. No thoughts on his performances. On the other hand, I sold 2 players at a significant loss, one of whom is Colombian. The board are not happy with that. But still they are satisfied with my transfer activity.
I don't know. It's a bit as if board vision and expaectations do not align with what is happening at the club.
Thoughts please?
