Decent signing with Andreas, will he be your starter at AML or slowly easing him into first team?

Slowly easing him in. It will be the Wenger method I think

He was well renowned for playing a highly rated youngster one week and sitting them out the week after slowly increasing playing time.

Indeed he did! Like with Fabregas and Wilshere

And look at how far Fabregas went.... I'll not let you suffer the pain of Wilshere memories... That's PTSD inducing

Thanks for bringing it up

Also don't you have John Heitinga? He's a decent coach for defence role.

Started with zero staff and just a Doctor due to licensing issues

Transfer Update

Last signing of the summer and another for the future. 

Roko Simic 6Mill from RB Salzburg.

He's gone straight into the B team to develop but I'll be keeping a close eye on him

[VyKing]

Champions League Group Draw

Starting our journey in Europe in Group B which looks like a tough but achievable group

Chelsea being the obvious but Salzburg have the ability to make things tricky.

The draw in all its glory.

It's just the title of the blog my lover. Don't be hating

Tough group but top 2 finish is definitely possible!

This was the kiss of death haha! What started off with a sloppy defeat to Chelsea followed 3 great performances to put us top of the group. We then fell off in the Final 2 games with a 2-1 loss in Salzburg to 10 men of RB (pay back for buying Simic) then another defeat to Chelsea.

Europa League to play with a game against Danish side FC Midtjylland

It's a banana skin tie but one I'm confident of not slipping on.

In the league, well its business as usual, 16 games in won 13 drawn 2 lost 1. A nice gap forming.

Sorry @TempelmanVitesse aren't chasing they're just Vitesse.

The team are chipping in with the goals Brobbey the top scorer with 6 showing that we have goals in the team.

Scheljderup has fast become my first choice left winger with some dazzling displays. Which means I can get rid of Berghuis or Tadic. Though I'm fast losing patience with Tadic and his disciplinary record. 

I waited before slowly bedding in Simic in the team, who has scored 5 in 3 games and 3 in 1 cup game so far.

Kenneth Taylor looks like the new CM wonder kid from the academy. Making the CDM position his own . The vultures are already circling.

Another youngster making a splash in the first team is 17yr old Garbiel Misehouy.

Tough to go out in CL group stages, still winnable tie against FC Midtjylland.

Transfer Window

So lets see how the January Transfer window played out.

The ins

One of the clubs visions was to bring in players 18 and under, which was my main task in January. My DoF sought after Zandbergen

Mr Valentines Day himself 

Thiago Fernandez will be a regular started and for 3mil is a steal

Matheus Nascimento, I looked at him and took a moment to decide if I wanted him or not. Ultimately for his age he can improve alot but I'm looking forward to that growth.

Alvaro Bastida checked all the right boxes. I needed CM's and DMC's and Cadiz get to keep him til the end of the season to aid his development.

Leandro Figueredo, this lad was offered to me by his agent. Scouting report came back as an A- I didn't need much more convincing.

The outies

All in all I'm pretty happy with the transfer window. Much of it was thanks to getting Berghuis out of the door. 

Current Net Spent: + 85mill

I mean did you expect anything different? 

It should have been a closer affair with PSV but the draws ultimately cost them. 

@Tempelman10th isn't too bad pal. They get an award for trying.

We got to the Quarter Finals of the Europa where we took a 3-2 agg lead back to the San Siro and ultimately got slapped around. I think at this point being slapped by a wet fish would have hurt less.

Betis went all the way lifting the trophy.

In preparation for the incoming vultures I've already done my transfer dealings barring any last minute changes.

I couldn't pass up on Vitor Roque but he goes back for the remainder of the season to develop.

Still in the Black with finances 

My aim this year is to get rid of this Transfer Debt

 

[Tempelman]

10th is okay with the current players, I think... Hope I will do better in my game though.

Edit: The name San Siro is for AC Milan fans, not Inter...

Youth Development

One of the beauties about Ajax apart from being a much more advanced civilization than the Vitesse lot, is there fantastic youth academy.

The youngsters stepping up towards the end of this season and will play a bigger part in next season are as follows.
