Plan was to pick as strong a U23 team as possible then the best forward not in my Dutch squad and the other over 23's would be the 2 best players i could find for the 2 weakest positions but thanks to 4 injury's im relying on Henk Artoumian to lead me to the Gold Medal




Group B


Match 1
Nigeria 1-4 Holland


Nigeria pulled one back but i told them to attack and they gave me 3 goals.

2 times winners 4 times runner ups Argentina are next up.


The Match
Holland 1-0 Argentina


THis was a awful game. Argentina went down to 10 men and were playing even worse than ourselves but all that's irrelevant as were in the Semi's.


2nd favorites Brazil are knocked out by favorites Italy.

Season Preview
20 years of hurt


A Quick review of whats in the video above

Summer News

20 Years at Aberdeen. A highlight package may be in order
Another Stadium Expansion planned. How much expansion can you get? I didnt even ask this time as i didnt think we could go bigger than 60,000 and now its on its way to being 75,000!
2 Club legends Derek Sneddon & Chris Pierce retire from football




Targets
SPL - Winner
Scottish Cup - Winner
Scots League Cup - Winner




1st team 2032
The future has arrived at Aberdeen. New wing back Scott O'Neil will slowly take over from Blaha while Deng Nan, Petr Filip & Stuart Callaghan will share Jovic position. I still think we need another center midfielder which Scotland is not producing just now. Up front Parker takes over from Novosel as the end of last season was enough to convince me he's ready.




New Players


All Young all Scottish


Scott O'Neil - DL
Long term win back. O'Neil & Grant will be our wingers long term.


Phil Muirhead - MC
Just in to bolster the youth team. 1% of playing in the first team


Jim Wright - ML
Like Muirhead a player from the great youth academy of Hamilton




Players Leaving


Denis Jovic - Man Utd - £50m
Was always going to leave this summer and we got 3 bids of £50m but since man Utd was one of them they got priority


Antonio Novosel - Liverpool - £37m
Was only getting bids of £23m as the summer began but Liverpool finally came in with a £37m bid like last winter. Nobody else came close.


Nailton - Aston Villa - £13.7m
I've been trying to sell him for the past 2 seasons. Turned out good but we have too many good Scottish forwards for Nailton to get chances.


Stef Luys - Benfica - £11.25m
He was going to be my starting midfielder with Jovic leaving but after rejecting the £7m bid from Benfica they returned with a better bid which for a relatively unproven u19 player who wouldn't be with me long term was good enough for me.




Youngster Charlie MacRae leaves for Reading


Marco Friedrichs disappointing time at the clubs ends as he leaves on a free. Golabek, Redford & Marcelo leave on loan.

Aberdeen
I made offers on 6 players on deadline day but only 2 would agree. i got a 16 year old winger from Dundee Utd but left him there for this season as he's played most of there games which he wont do for me.


Adam Moult - MC
Crewe are always good for the odd regen and Moult could turnout to be the best they've produced so far.
