Season 2020/21 Preview
Another quiet window but with my job and the clubs immediate future on the line (Almost ever major player will leave without European football next season) we had to buy quality. Missed on on almost every player Man City bought and several more.
At Euro 2020 Holland added the Euro's to there 2018 world cup win overcoming a mental schedule including France, England, Spain before our own Memphis Depay again scored the winner against Italy the only goal in the final just like in 2018

Season 5 Targets
Premiership - Top 4 Finish
FA & League Cups - Try and win a cup
We need to get back into the top 4 top continue this sides development otherwise we'll loose so many talented players. With the depth now having more quality than ever before i'll not be resting so many players in the cups this year so i hope to bring one of them home and finally add some significant silverware to last years League title.
Starting team 2020

As usual there's a few changes taking place. Newbies Kupriy & Licoln jump right into the staring 11. Key players on the bench to watch for are Anthony Richaud, Luke O'Leary, Radek Cervenka & Dean Gould who will all be looking to take on the dodgy defenders of last season as well as the new center midfielders Salakory & Licoln

More quality over kids as the pressure to win is ramped up from the board. No European football next season could be the final nail in my coffin
Olexiy Kupriy DL

Scouted in his breakthrough season and highly recomended by anyone that spotted him. Has massive potential despite the price i'd say we totally overpaid in desperation to add new players

Great story behind this guy. In season 1 a deal was agreed for him to join Wednesday for £3m but due to our lack of funds in those days it was either him or Romero and long term it looked like i chose the wrong guy. However luck has funny way of working and this summer he was released by Dortmund and a week into the free market he was still available. Now i expected the usual insane requests over £200k a week however i was quietly impressed to agree on £130k a week a gamble for us but if he fills my most problomatic position then it will all be forgotten.
Two youngster join as i cant resist!

Out
3 of our best players could not be convinced into staying at the club. First to go is Leon Goretzka. He had made sounds of wanting out early on last season and with 12 months left on his contract the time was right to make a £30m profit from him. Next out was Max Romero who fell down the pecking order almost as fast as he climbed it, One solid season was followed by a succession of injurys last season. Was never fit nad hardly played. Happy to take Dortmunds £16m with lots of prospects just waiting to join Junior in the 1st team. Last to go was Jorge. Caused a huge fuss at the end of the season and his form at the end was starting to end our love hate relationship. At the same time one of the best Left Back prospects in the game was ending a loan spell at Schalke so i took the chance to nab him up before the big clubs got in.
