    Going well in the league, will hopefully do enough over the 2nd half to get Champions League football next season.

    In other news. through to the knockout stages in Europe

    image.png.ba90f2084be41cf29c0841f3b2980b2a.png

    1-1 draw against Leipzig in the first game at home, beat Utrecht and then Slavia Home and away quite convincingly. got battered by Leipzig away, yet somehow managed to equalize twice then bag a late winner to secure our qualification

    up to 4th in the table, beat United convincingly at home but also managed to draw home game against Brentford which we dominated and hit the woodwork 5 times !! Sometimes it just doesnt go for you.

    Well you’re certainly splashing the cash, @Recyclic3021 but it looks like you’re spending it wisely.

    I suppose, but am i the next Harry Redknapp?

    Better than a 50% win ratio, in some of the toughest leagues in the world too

    Great start to the season, two wins and a draw. Is this going to be Derby County’s year?

    Not doing bad but still the same issues against the top teams, completely outplayed by Liverpool and Chelsea's first team in the league. Lukaku has scored 13 goals in 5 games against us. The scheduling with European football is very demanding on the squad.

    Just beaten a 10 man Liverpool reserves in the Carabao Cup 5th round at anfield. Championship side Peterboro await in the QF's. Top of the table Arsenal are the only major team left in the competition. I might have a good opportunity for some major silverware !!

    Ouch! That’s bad news having a 15 year-old winder kid poached. Did you get any money for him or is it just the clauses in his contract?

    No money, just clauses depending on how many games he eventually plays for Arsenal. Think it adds up to £950k if he plays 70 games for them.

    Fortunately, Colin Kazim-Richards is due back in training any day now.

    dont count your chickens on that one

    Think i had Kazim available for 3 games in total after his return from injury.

    Game date: Monday 27th September 2021

    Think Baldock last till mid November for me then picked up another 4 month injury the day after he returned to training. Silly me had offered him a contract to the end of the season. He never played another game !!

    Transfer deadline day has just been and gone 

    Only one major transfer incoming. Seiwald incoming as a replacement. Wendel is another good brazilian DC newgen who has played as a 16 year old in the national u18's and is a regular in their u21

    image.png.17dd9f6f37ad1f5e12322f5bee4c845e.png

    The reason i brought Seiwald in being i lost a major member of the first team squad

    image.png.97b9eed6224348a162b267f12e6549c3.png

    Rovella left on deadline day following Arsenal's activation of his release clause. Had tried getting him on a new contract but he wanted £200k+ a week and still with a £40m release clause.

    Still considering he signed on a free i cant complain about the revenue. Profit on every other player sale has allowed the bigger signings we've made this summer.

    Table as it stands. Opening day draw away to Newcastle followed by wins at home to Brighton & West Ham

    So your Chairman has withdrawn his financial backing but has no intention of selling the club. What does that even mean? That the club has to be self-sustainable? How do the finances look?

    Finances are great, I've never had an issue with the wage buget and according to the FFP we've made over £200m in profit in 4 years. I don't think the chairman i have is loaded anyway, he's just sitting back getting rich off my hard work :(

    funnily enough my objectives again for this season are to fight relegation (in fact my 5 year objective has the same assumption, for every season, i'm assuming this is a bug in the game).......don't think thats going to happen unless my squad is raided by cash rich Saudi owned clubs. Ha, looking at these objectives im failing miserably against the only required objective. Developing players through the youth system - ranking is Devestated. I should have been sacked by now !!

    Dane Scarlett sounds like he might be some player. How did he get on after breaking Kevin Hector’s record for fastest Derby goal ever?

    He's performed well, 18 goals in 28 Premier League games and 3 goals in 3 games of the Carabao Cup 

    I needed a striker and he was one of the most valueable ones on the loan list that was willing to come. Tottenham insisted on an option to buy that i wasnt so bothered about, £15m was quite a bit for someone with not many appearances or goals but i didnt want to rely on a grumpy Fletcher, who wanted 70k a week to sign a new contract. He's done so well by the end of the season he was valued over £50m so i snapped him up as soon as my transfer budget was confirmed.

    image.thumb.png.6d5cc62e4f2f08305cd5b5ad91e4d5d2.png

    Paulo Cesar has joined as well, which is good news as Daniel Ballard has received bids from a promoted Burnley and Everton, which meet a release clause in his contract. I have offered a new contract for him to stay but i'm waiting to see if he agrees.

    18 year old Bolivian International Left-Back Manuel Apaza has also joined for £600k, another youngster who has taken to the international stage like a duck to water at an early age with 16 caps already.

    Any news on Krystian Bielik? Will he stay or will he go?

    He's going, not signed a pre-contract after turning down Legia. Refuses to negotiate a new deal so will be leaving on a free at the end of the month.

    Will probably be looking to sell Sibley, Buchanan and possibly Bird as well. Not performing when brought in to the team nor progressing as they arent getting much first team football. Jason Knight who is the club captain is the only player from the original squad who is likely to be here at the start of the season.

    Lost the QF 2-0, tbh they battered us and didnt deserve anything.

    On a plus point one my players got the No. 1 spot in the NxGn top 50 wonderkids which i was surprised about. No.2 in the list is also a Derby player, Leigh Arthur who i bought from Cardiff last season.

    image.png.6be02a42294deb7574da7e381ad15b13.png

    Arranged a transfer for £6m when he got into the Croation u18's as a 16 year old. He had good physicals then, I've been trying to train him as a DC as well but haven't been able to play him there so often

    22 appearences this season so far with a 7.20 Avg

    small update to my progress, brought in a right back Felix Agu from Bayern on loan who can play on either side of the defence. Bayern wanted a mandatory fee of £3.3m when he had played 5 games which i thought was reasonable.

    Last game was a 1-1 draw at home to Liverpool, prior to that beat Newcastle 5-0 away at St James Park. Through to the 5th round of the FA Cup played the reserves in both ties Home and away to Woking and Lincoln. Premier League opposition await at Home to Southampton

    Beilik has refused to sign a new contract and has announced he will be looking at his options at the end of the season. Havent been able to offload Fletcher and Pritchard either, so they will probably be leaving on a free at the end of their contracts

    That’s certainly a great start, let’s hope it is the season when @Recyclic3021 brings the Crown back to Derby.

    Good start but i have been brought back down to earth. Long way to go before we are winning the league. just had consecutive 5-2 defeats away at Utd and home vs Chelsea prior to that a last minute defeat home to arsenal. Im beating every one else it seems so i'd be dissapointed in a bottom half finish. Losses against Leicester, Liverpool, West Ham, Arsenal, Man U and Chelsea.
