Jan '33
Plenty of matches this month as we are challenging on 4 fronts. We are through in the cups and Europe and solid results in the league to ensure we remain top.
Transfer updates
Out
Enzo was on transfer list when I had come in. He never made an appearance under me
Andreas was a useful squad option, bu the offer was too good to turn down for a player who had 18months left on his contract.
Alex was a youth player who my coaches were not sold on. He wanted more chances and the showdown talks led to him putting in a transfer request. Decent money for a player who would have struggled to make it
In
Carsten is a highly recommended youngster who would be eased into first team picture next year (Tomiyasu is out of contract at the end of season and I am not planning to renew as he will be 35).
Matthias was a player I had tracked in Italy (and Napoli had moved for him after I left). He is a dead ball specialist who has excellent stats. I was surprised to see him listed on the deadline day, that too for a 11 mill loss from what was paid for him 6 months back. I moved in quick as my front two are 34 and 35 respectively and I do no plan to renew Gabriel Jesus's contract at the end of the season.
