Makoto Nakamura Posted November 20, 2019 Author Share Posted November 20, 2019 Usually I leave all transfers to the DoF, but after a test holiday in Thailand I've been following one player very closely, and since he always lets his contract with Buriram run out I decided to snap him up if I could, regardless of how good my scouts said he is. A 19 year old with 31 goals in 34 caps?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted November 20, 2019 Author Share Posted November 20, 2019 2022/23 Pre-Season A very busy pre-season but we got no further than the Champions League Quarter Final. Predicted 4th in the league but I want to do better than that. A lot of exits and just the two players joining us so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted November 20, 2019 Author Share Posted November 20, 2019 August 2022 A very strong start to the season but the massive shock is that Al-Sadd are rock bottom! Three more join us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makoto Nakamura Posted November 21, 2019 Author Share Posted November 21, 2019 At first I thought my DoF was being foolish by spending £13.25m on a player, but at least he's young and Qatari and has room to improve more. And then he gets 2 goals and 3 assists in his first game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
