Season Expectations

View attachment 372676

Well i looked at Garmash who was unhappy but as i got a bid accepted for him he moved to Benfica in the blink of an eye for £18million!

I didnt really need or want to bring anyone in after this so i sold Bandura and brought in a cheap replacement Goalkeeper and also splashed a few million on a decent Centre Back prospect.

Kucher was the other squad member to leave as he kept on complaining about wanting to move to a bigger club despite not even making our team much last season as he is now 34.


DC Andrey Ivanov DC £3.4million

Actually we have not been all that bad these past few years. We lose mostly yes, but most matches we actually play better than the opponents. Its just immaturity and lack of concentration I think ...
 
Alrite i got the pass the parcel save to do at the moment so will be back on this save tomorrow
 
Right just got to type up the pass the parcel and then will be on to the july update

July 2016

Ukraine Super Cup
Shakhtar 3 - 1 Volyn
Konoplyanka 6 Butko 13 Dzeko 22

A comfortable victory to pick up our first trophy of the season as we get our goals early.

League
Arsenal Kyiv 0 - 2 Shakhtar
Dzeko 39, 93

Looks like Dzeko is going to continue this season as he left the last one banging in the goals for us but now turning 30 we will need a replacement coming through.

League
Shakhtar 2 - 0 Metalist
Costa 8 Chaykovskyi 60
Grechyshkin sent off 41

I was a little worried with the sending off just before half time but we managed to cut off the game with a second goal on the hour mark.

Friendly
England 2 - 2 Ukraine
Zozulya 69 Vitsenets 87

I changed half the team around at half time and the second lot did a very good job and it was two Shakhtar players getting the goals. Up next two World Cup Qualifiers in September

​
 
Does anyone know where i can find how long a player has left before getting Ukrainian passport? Or is it impossible? Cannot find it on Costa's profile anywhere
 
Right i have played up til December but not sure whether i am going to continue this as not making any transfers has zapped the fun out of it for me with £28million to spend but no decent Ukrainians, not sure whether i should starting signing a few foreigners?

Thoughts . . .
 
Yep, definitely following this! Thanks for pointing it out to me. Quick question, do you feel that you have any advantage at home in Europe? I think in last years game I was able to be more attacking than this years and I haven't seen you battering teams like Shakhtar can at home

i have struggled in europe but that is due to poor quality in the ukrainian ranks, if i had 4 seasons as shakhtar with their money i would be tearing up europe but yeah i thought maybe teams would struggle especially coming here in december and feb with it snowing
 
Last year I started a Shakhtar save and in the first season I reached the quarter finals and beat Madrid, Man U and Juve at home... Something SI need to have a look at I think, the Donbas is a fortress in real life because of the cold
 
Anything happening with this??? ****** love a good Shakhtar story

I may get back to it at a later date, but the fact that i asked people if i should continue over a week ago and nobody replied made me think that nobody was reading
 
Well I suppose that's fair enough, but I'd love for you to continue it. Even if you do decide to call it a day on this one, it was a good read!

I hate that 2015/6 stage, real transition starts to happen and you can't make much progress
