FEBRUARY
Lineup - Rajkovic, Wague, Duric, Pavlovic, Rogerio, Grujic*, Melovic, Kikic, Lo Celso, Radonjic (Stevanovic), Deric (Mladenovic)
We return after 2 months away to thump Vozdovac. Our goals from Grujic and Lo Celso were great finishes while I was pleased to see Mladenovic scoring again - he really does have a big future with us.

My 2 CMs, Grujic and Melovic ran this match from start to finish. Melovic assisted 2 and Grujic 1 as their partnership continues to blossom. We may have lost out on Dimarcos incredible assist tally from LB but it seems those numbers have been switched back into midfield!

An easy enough win but I am worried about Igor Deric's loss of form. There was interest in him in January, the same as most of my players, but he is struggling to perform or even find the net in his last few performances.

UEFA Champions League 1st Round 1st Leg
Lineup - Rajkovic, Wague, Duric, Pavlovic, Rogerio (Pete), Grujic, Melovic, Kikic, Lo Celso (Obradovic), Radonjic, Deric (Mladenovic)
A good result but it should have been better as we were the better side. Radonjic put us in front and we were all over them for the first half hour but they levelled with their first shot on target. David De Gea was the MOM which speaks volumes! Lo Celso went off injured and he will be out for around about a month.

Igor Deric got back on the scoresheet here which is pleasing but yet again it was my wingers who really got the job done as they grabbed 3 goals. Kikic is just ridiculous!

SUMMARY
Firstly I will go over the on the pitch matters in February before going over the transfer window in January which has some interesting news!!!!
We won all 4 league games on our return to action after the winter break and we were pretty convincing in our victories with Melovic, Grujic, Kikic and Radonjic hitting the ground running. Our lead is 18pts but with us having already failed to win a match we basically have to go through the motions to end the season as yet again it is over by October lol.
In the Champions League we got a great draw away to Manchester United as we got an away goal and as ever I am always confident about playing anyone in the world at home as we hardly ever get beat there so I think it is actually 60-40 in our favour however as I type this I may instantly regret it.
Now for the winter transfer window.......
I received offers for Wague, Pavlovic, Duric, Pete, Melovic, Deric, Radonjic, Vidosavljevic, Mladenovic and Propadalo but the bids for Zeljko Kikic were mind boggling. I rejected bids up to £30m for him and then Chelsea bid for £40m so I jokingly set a price-tag at £82m and it was accepted!!!!!!! I didnt want to sell him however so I cancelled the deal and he wasnt unhappy and actually signed a new long term contract which I am delighted about. I think the board would have overruled me if it wasnt for the fact that we have £170m in the bank account!!!
