Youth Intake

Probably the most exciting time of the season for me. You can get lucky, and lucky I was! One lad in particular, Jaap Ouwekerk will get a lot of chances in the first team straight away.

Comments

Well, what a fantastic season! We won the league, though that could be thanks to Ajax's poor start or FC Twente's dramatic drop in form which saw them gain just 15 points in their last 19 games of the Eredivisie season, which consequently ruled them out of any participation in European competitions. Nevertheless, I feel 79 points is a great points tally and it certainly gives us something to aim for and build upon in the coming seasons. Of course, I couldn't do this without my main players. Players such as Alexander Milosevic and Stefan de Vrij were outstanding this season and I am looking forward to working with them again and watching them improve even more next season. I was quite disappointed in my strikers this season- I had no one who even scored 15 goals. However, with Fierro signing in January, I feel he will really shine next season. On a European front I would have liked to do better but to be fair, a group consisting of Athletic Bilbao, Newcastle and Fenerbache was always going to be difficult. In terms of finances, things aren't so great (Main cause of this is the Fierro signing). However, with extra income from Champions league football and potential player sales next season, our finances should only improve.

Onwards and upwards!

Haha, Twente's performance was quite realistic. Awesome man, Feyenoord is a great club. Most beautiful in the world in my opinion haha. Interested to see what you can do in the CL next season.
 
Thanks everyone, just letting you guys know that I'll be away on holiday on Tuesday for two weeks (Portugal, woo!) so I might get 2 or 3 more updates in before I go, and I would get back to this when I am back!
 
Okay guys, sorry for not updating recently, away on holiday now so I will resume this on the 31st July (hopefully).
 
Okay guys, I'm back and will be resuming this straight away!

Month Review

Not bad at all! Some really good moments in October, most notably the win over arch rivals Ajax and the shock result against PSG. Only disappointment would be the draw vs Heerenveen, but you can't win every game. My players really have an eye for goal, which is something I did not see enough of last year. Graziano Pelle is incredible!

Fairly happy with Eredivisie form
Things are getting tight in the CL
Signing News!

Transfers!

So a player leaving us in January is Ruud Vormer. Did well last season but not had much of a chance in the first team this time round. I accepted a £4.1m bid from Olympiakos, quite pleased with that transfer fee.

View attachment 374014

Now I'm very excited by this kid I'm bringing in. Cayetano Jofre cost me £5.75m but he is well worth it. He joins on his 18th Birthday which is the season after next season! Got a while to wait unfortunately. I plan on giving him a lot of game time when he eventually joins the squad; he's a beast... 18 U20 caps for Argentina at 16 illustrates that.

Eredivisie

Vitesse 3-2 Feyenoord
Fierro x2

My problems with Vitesse (or Bony FC) continue. Happy that Fierro got a couple.

--

Feyenoord 2-0 Zwolle
Pelle, Immers

Played the weakest team in the league. Just happy I got the job done.

--

ADO Den Haag 1-2 Feyenoord
Milosevic, Pelle

Had to pull off a comeback here, 1-0 down after just 4 minutes but we turned it around fairly quickly.

--

Feyenoord 4-3 NAC Breda
Milosevic, Mokotjo, Pelle, Immers

3-1 down after 26 minutes at home, I was raging! Terrific comeback from the boys but I don't want that to happen every game.

----------

Champions League

Feyenoord 3-0 Valencia
Fierro x2, Clasie

Wow! What a result! Don't know what else to say about this really!

--

Feyenoord 2-0 FC Porto
Fierro, Mokotjo

This too! Unbelievable! PSG away next. Noticed that I've won all my home games but lost all away games in the CL.

----------

Monthly Review

Well what can I say about the Champions League... It's been good to me so far! Still got 1 game left and the group is still very close. As for the league, while I'm happy with 9 points out of 12, I'm slightly concerned at how much poorer we look now compared to earlier on in the league. Still, the result is more important than the performance and if I'm winning games 75% of the time then I have to be pleased!
