BoxToBox Posted May 5, 2017 Author Share Posted May 5, 2017 I'm surprised I don't see Fisse Mike on any list. I'm slightly unsure what to do with this one fellow. I brought him into develop as a Libero, but he's started to look like he'd be a great wingback, but then, is that passing and vision wasted as a wingback?

I was so certain he'd be an icon that I didn't realize he was nowhere to be found. Per Bjerregaard is one of the - if not the most - important figures in Brøndby's history and in Danish football as well! As the chairman for many years he was a big part of making Brøndby the first scandinavian club to become a professional team in 1986, and was a big part of getting big name managers like Morten Olsen and Michael Laudrup to the team. In the 00's of this millennium this took a turn for the worse, however. His leukemia was getting worse, Brøndby was struggling with both performance in the league and financially. This all became too much and the supporters let him hear for it, and it wasn't always pretty. In 2012 he retired but no matter how it ended he should be the biggest legend of them all. Without him, I seriously doubt Brøndby would have been what they are now. He has also defeated leukemia recently! I think Stridh would be terrific at RB. I would think that his vision and passing just adds another dimension to his game making him more than just a wing back who runs a lot and crosses but rather one who can also pick out passes and be a part of building up play in narrow spaces.

BoxToBox Posted May 6, 2017 Author Share Posted May 6, 2017 Vilfort Day! So, with the decision to forsake transfers going forward, this becomes less my favourite day of the season, and more the very most important day of the season! We have young quality in depth in most positions on the pitch, what we need most is centreback depth, though we're still a few years away from it being an issue. Well, well, well, finally Kim is excited enough about a talent to drop the "generational tag" on a youngster! The first of the save! How Kasper Eriksen never was that rated, I'll never know. He's a striker though, which is the deepest spot on the pitch, but of course we're delighted regardless. We're keeping the top 5, and the keeper to replenish the U-19's side, who have been picked apart last season(and thus were knocked out of the UEFA Youth League in the first ko round), but there are two we have expectations of. Eriksen can finish, head, is quick and well balanced. Also, despite being a righty, is handy with the left peg. Perfect for the point of an attack, bit he needs a lot of developing, He's 15, so that's expected. Nielsen is 18, so is already off the pace, but nicely balanced, and could be quite useful if his professionalism is raised. Weirdly, I decided to cancel our affiliation with Landskrona and it went through the same time as the intake landed, so he's sent from them as you can see on his history/career stats, but wasn't listed as so in the announcement as they're not an affiliate now....

BoxToBox Posted May 6, 2017 Author Share Posted May 6, 2017 I forgot, despite doing well, I was getting quite bored of International Management, and was considering knocking the USA job on the head.

If I can get him and Pulisic on the pitch at the same time, it could be real dangerous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoxToBox Posted May 6, 2017 Author Share Posted May 6, 2017 They're an odd team to manage, flashes of quality, plenty of potential, but lots of tough games, especially since they have to battle Mexico pretty constantly. There's a real good German I've been trying to pinch, it's not likely, but he's 22 and they still haven't given him a senior app, so maybe. Could really do with a DM, though, to replace Michael Bradley. I wish I could haul some into my team to develop them, seen some world class prospects, but it'd go against the save.

BoxToBox Posted May 6, 2017 Author Share Posted May 6, 2017 So, some excellent news. One, Eriksen is officially world class. Two, though it was nightmarishly difficult, eventually him and his agent relented and he signed a new contract, with no release clause, but also a 3 year extension! Plenty of the squad should hit his level in the next 8 years, so long before that's up, he should accept another contract. Look at him! Look! Future team captain, as soon as Pontus Jansson leaves, which I'd expect will be via retirement, and at 30, that's a while off too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoxToBox Posted May 6, 2017 Author Share Posted May 6, 2017 Season Review! Smashed the league, won the cup, and out in the first knockout in Europe. Much of a muchness by the results, but there is progress. More goals scored in the league, hanging with big clubs in Europe, just Juventus, last season's winner and this season's losing finalist was just a bridge too far yet. We'll get there, especially with Eriksen hitting a world class level, Radebe looking like a *better* Lukaku, and Per Olsen well on the way to being a monster keeper. Going to have to sell some forwards, I think, just too many. As they say, "You can't have everything, where would you put it?"

Meaning by time the final rolled around, Spain were to a man on 70% energy, my best 11 were fully rested and ready, having had a full week between starts.

BoxToBox Posted May 7, 2017 Author Share Posted May 7, 2017 Season preview. We're going into this one a bit weaker, not in starting 11, which is the strongest it's ever been, but in depth as we sold a few players and replaced them with youth. We've been given a fair, but far from impossible challenge in Europe, and I'd like to see some progress this season. Other than that, much of a muchness. Keep developing our young players, keep getting richer. Some good teams in our group(we were the first seed despite being 2nd on the list to Inter), but it's no "why has RNGeebus forsaken me" group. FCK are FCK'd if you ask me, but to be fair done incredibly well to make the groups after drawing RB Leipzig in the playoffs. In the Europa, Nordsjaelland.... well, they're not going to have fun. Transfers. I did say I wouldn't be able to keep all my strikers(we just have so many), so it was between Bjorkheim and Radebe, and it was never going to be Radebe(who I turned down offers of 40m+ for without negotiating) Oldrup Jensen was a key player for us, for a long time, but at close to 30, short contract, Berge, and a youngster ready for a chance, it was the right deal to make. Petursson was let go to give youngster Jeppe Olsen a chance, and I preferred Daniel Danielsen to start, who's as good in defence, but technically better and can whip in a better cross. Johansson was let go due to age, and give Stridh and his marvellous moustache a chance. Not shown here, but 4th choice CB Rasmus Thelander was also let go as his contract expired. Promotions. So, players go, and players step up... After a few seasons on loan, Eriksen comes in to be Radebe's backup. Goran "The" Borg is promoted into the CB rotation, expected to be a long term replacement for Pontus Jansson as Kasper Eriksen's partner, but rumours abound that he's about to put in a transfer request. Probably because he's sick of John Drake roaring "resistance is futile" at opposing managers, ever game Goran starts, or when he's subbed on.... Not the most offensive or defensive, but decent enough at each, and has a real burst of acceleration. Not sure how much potential he really has as development has kind of stalled, he'll still be a class backup. Backup Libero for now, but like Stridh, his crossing(surprisingly) and overall physical development hint that he could be a cracker of a wingback.... Speaking of.... Taken to it like a duck to water, and now enjoys a spot in the first team, as rotation for Seppa. Wang isn't promoted just yet, but has been covering for Fisse Mike's injury and will be taking over from him full time soon...... too soon. Other stuff... Per Olsen grows at real pace. If he keeps this rate up he could be the best keeper in the world, and soon at that! Which is it lads? Man I think this board are just being *****s for a laugh.
