Preseason, First Transfers and First European Fixtures
Preseason
We had a pretty good preseason and most of our players are now fit and ready for the upcoming season.
In between these games, we had some Europa League fixtures as well.
Our first opponents were Union Saint-Gilloise, a team we faced previously in a friendly and beat 5-2.
UEFA Europa League
League Path Second Qualifying Round 1st Leg
We dominated the 1st leg and got a 4-0 win.
Dieu Michel scored on his 1st team debut which is always great to see.
UEFA Europa League
League Path Second Qualifying Round 2nd Leg
We couldn't get another win in Belgium though.
Despite playing very well on the 1st half, they dominated us on the 2nd and scored two goals to equalize the game.
Our next opponents are the Czech side Mladá Boleslav.
August
Not an easy start in the league by any means, specially when we have some European fixtures inbetween matches against Sporting and Porto.
Transfers Out
Nélson Oliveira left the club to join Goztepe for 40k.
I said I wanted him gone so there he goes.
Unfortunately, Handel was sold to PSG for a whopping fee of 2m...
I really have no idea why his value is always this low but as you can see even as a PSG player it maxes at 2m.
Anyway, when PSG came in for him and I rejected the first bid he got mad and since I don't want any mutiny in the club I agreed with the player I would accept a new offer if they paid 2m. They offered that exact amount and I included a 50% future fee clause so if he ends up being sold we will get half of the transfer.
Other than this two, we just had a bunch of loans.
Transfers In
We had 14 players joining the club in July but one of them was Kaio César who was already here so let's just say 13.
Darren Robinson was the first one to join as his contract at Derby County was ending.
He doesn't look awful and he's still 19 so maybe he can develop well. If not, he'll be sold for profit.
Another player who had his previous deal ending was Aurelio Oehlers.
Again, he doesn't look too bad and hopefully can develop. If not we'll just sell him later.
3rd free transfer of the window as we sign the ex-Dortmund left back Jaden Korzynietz after his contract ran out.
Similar situation to the last two.
The last free transfer we had joining us was the midfielder Daniil Dushevskiy. He signed for us back in March and was at the club in trial. Now his official contract started and it's another situation like the last 3.
He has a good personality and good mentals for his age so if he can develop he'll be brought into the 1st team.
The first transfer fee we spent was on the Brazilian winger Jhonatan Kauan, who joins us from Internacional for 575k.
Not sure if he'll develop much though.
We then spent another 650k on another winger. This one came in from Slovan Bratislava and looks beeter than Kauan in my opinion. Lacks a bit of mental attributes but I'm hoping he can develop them.
We then paid 195k for the Danish striker Axel Bertelsen from Nordsjaelland. He looks good and only needs to develop his composure and decisions a bit more. If he does I'll call him up.
425k were spent to bring in the 19 year old midfielder from North Macedonia Martin Gjorgievski.
He looks promising and can play everywhere in the midfield so it's a good option to have at the club nontheless.
We keep strenghtening our midfield with the 18 year old Colombian Caleb Morelos, wjo joined from Deportivo Cali for 325k.
Morelos was joined by his compatriot Elin Rivero, who joined us from Atlético Nacional for 350k.
Viktor Radojevic joined our club for 975k and was the most expensive signing we made this season so far.
He's a decent wing back and now we have a proper backup for that position. He'll still be playing in our B team for now to develop his attributes but he may become better than Zé Carlos as Mangas backup very soon.
Matteo Cucinotta joined us from Deportivo Riestra in Argentina for 165k and looks very good in my opinion. He's definitely a player we can compare to Telmo Arcanjo as he fills in the same wide playmaker role. I may train him at the midfield just because he lacks some speed but I think that for the price he looks very promising.
Our last transfer in July was the Dutch striker Jesper Uneken from PSV for a fee of 500k.
Looks promising as well and I hope he can develop well to come into the 1st team soon.
