sherwinriga Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Things are really looked good, despite of Sammarinese clubs getting San Giovanni young prospects in time including Roberto Ciacci and future NT Lorenzo Raschi (sorry, Tre Fiori club). Once you made clear that San Giovanni will have its master plan soon, the more you improve the roster, the better you have the chance to win a championship!

Bedese Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share Posted February 8, 2017 Youth Intake Day! Looks like a pretty tidy LB. Our defence is coming along very nicely. I don't really see anything there that excites me, to be honest. His stats just aren't that great. Not going to get gametime unless Rondelli (YP24a) leaves, which probably isn't that unlikely. We keep getting decent keepers through, which is annoying, because I just know as soon as we start struggling in that area we won't get a decent one through for twenty years Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it might be to do with spending money on your facilities. How much do you have in the bank? The trigger for us (and every other team who've turned Semi-Pro) seems to be having 1m in finances - once that happened for us, the board turned us Semi-Pro without me even needing to ask them. 1 hour ago, mjaferrie said: Jesus, that transfer window was brutal - intake looks good though! It does, to be fair. If we can keep producing talent like the guys we've had through lately, we'll be just fine, even if some of them do slip through the net.

I have a feeling that may be why, but with my somewhat 'Success' in the Champions League, we've been over 1mill a couple of times, but could it be that because I requested the training facilities (even though the money hadn't gone out) they probably didn't want to make the step up. I've just had another facilities upgrade accepted just before I finished the season, so I will hold off on them until I start making tracks on the professional status. We currently have £450k after the facilities money going out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having better facilities is always a good thing, but I'd personally agree with holding off on upgrades until you can make it to Professional, just so you don't end up losing your best players to other teams in San Marino - or, if you get any really good ones through, to somewhere like Austria or Belgium.

Bedese Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share Posted February 8, 2017 Season Review! League We won our group, but then fell apart in the Playoffs. Not happy. Cup Knocked out on penalties. No Europe next year. Schedule Squad Other Teams: Fiorentino lost 6-0 to Shirak from Armenia in the CL First Qualifying Round, and Faetano lost 5-0 to Stromsgodset from Norway and Cailungo lost 6-0 to Slavia Prague from Czech Republic in the EL First Qualifying Round. Next year: We're a really unbalanced team. We have 4 or 5 quality players playing alongside 6 or 7 horrible ones. We have 0 quality CMs, which is going to hold us back massively until we get some in.

Everyone's either on an amateur or non-contract, so they're free to hop around to whatever team they like. I'd say that it's probably a bug that so many of them decide to move around, but there's not a whole lot we can do about it. We also lost some more: Starting LB and starting ST.

Bedese Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share Posted February 8, 2017 Youth Intake Day! If only he wasn't casual, he'd be close to a perfect striker for this level. Size, strength, decent pace and a good shot on him. We don't need a RM as of now, but he looks pretty talented. A good winger on the other side, which is something we did need. He looks pretty decent. 10 marking sort of masks his poor tackling, and his physicals are great for a CB at this level. I'm pretty sure he's already our best CM, which tells you a lot about the state of our CMs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedese Posted February 9, 2017 Author Share Posted February 9, 2017 F*** right off. We were offering him £240 per appearance and £70 per goal/sub appearance. He was fine with that deal when it was offered a few days ago, but now he's changed his mind and gone to Tre Fiori for £29 per appearance, and a fiver per goal/sub appearance. Really irritated with that one. He was our top scorer this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
