JANUARY TRANSFER WINDOW
I am all over the place with this window! I went into it wanting to sign a left winger and to keep my big stars and I have kinda done that but by god it was tough. I signed one player and brought another one in that I kept quiet about in the summer.
Basically in the summer I brought in Michael Olise on a free transfer from Liverpool with the sole aim to loan him out and then sell him at a profit so when I was scouring the planet for left wingers with no success - being asked to much money basically - I was about to go in for Kingsley Coman on loan but then Olise requested me to cancel his loan deal and I decided to take him back and bring him into the fold!
He has until the end of the season to prove to me that he is worth keeping around or if not it should at least boost his transfer value.
On a similar deal I brought in a young Mexican striker on a free and I have already loaned him out.
Now for player sales. Nobody in the first team was sold and the only player who really left was my young prospect Cepzanovic wo joined Braga on loan to get a higher level of match experience. But that doesnt tell half the story...........
THE BIDS THAT I REJECTED!!!!!!!!
Igor Deric had requested a transfer and a host of clubs came in for him with £53m being the highest bid from AC Milan for him yet I rejected them all and after the transfer window closed he asked to stay so I immediately extended his contract for an extra year until 2031.
Duric £8m, Wague £24m, Stevanovic £14m, Pete £37m were other offers while Real Madrid bid £40m for Grisales and they were all turned donw.
And then there was Kikic.
Bid after bid after bid after bid after bid came in and in the end Chelsea basically said - name your price - so I did - £190m and they accepted it!!!!!!!!!!!!! So I cancelled it lol. I was so tempted naturally to accept the offer but I dont have a replacement anywhere near his level within my squad and do the foreigner rule in Serbia it would be near impossible to replace him. He is contracted until 2030 and is only on £5,000 a week so I can keep him for 2 more seasons before my hand is forced. He doesnt want to sign a new deal yet he hasnt requested a transfer so we will keep it as it is lol.
£190m jeezo.
