SV Wehen: The Build

Hello Friends and welcome to my latest SV Wehen update.

I asked my assistant manager to provide me with a team report and his main concern was with the AML position and he had a couple of suggestions for a closer review. As I want to have a farily young squad I’ll make offers to Sergio Peter and Braganca.

The first staff meeting didn’t reveal any new transfer targets and pointed out that the team was not much good at anything other than fitness. I was  keen to add to my DMC options so after the meeting my AM provided another report for potential players though these are a bit older than I really wanted but nonetheless will be scouted.

A quick word about my transfer budget which is £0.00

The board expects promotion to the second division so I have immediate pressure to perform!

The job advertisements I placed for Scouting and Coaching staff didn’t provide any quality but that’s hardly surprising as I’m in the Third Division. I did pick out the best of the bunch so now I have a bit more depth in both the First Team and the Under 19’s. I also added two more scouts whom I’ve sent off into Switzerland and the other roaming around Central Europe.

Once the transfer window opened I was unable to sign AML Sergio Peter or Braganca who opted for other clubs though I did acquire Marco Loring and Mourad Hdioudad DMC’s as both were strongly recommended. Interestingly for loan signings it seems that clubs require a 60% to 80% contribution towards a player’s wages so my only loan signing was in the AML position who is Dominick Schwertel from FC Koln. Here are the profiles of the players brought in.

Also I picked up on a free transfer a new right back as well.

In reviewing my squad as a whole with the help of assistant reports there were only a handful players that could possibly be put on the transfer market but I felt there was no urgency to do so and may go back to that at a later stage. The Under 19’s I left alone completely.

Pre Season Results

A solid performance in pre-season and we were unlucky to lose against Hannover. Going into our first game of the season I’ve already got problems with injuries to three of my starting players including my #1 goalkeeper.

Morale for some reason is very poor and with just a few days until our opening game things are not looking good already!

Thanks for reading.
