RELISH THE RED


SUMMARY OF SEASON 2011/12

There I was, as a former Swedish football pro, ready to take over Liverpool football club after Kenny Daglish suddenly relieved his retirement to the world of football. The new owner John W Henry had recently (as in real world) targeted the season’s expectations for qualifying for Champions League. There had been some difficult recent years for the club. Two managers before Mr. Daglish had not succeeded to bring victory for the club fans. Although I had bigger plans and wanted to compete for the title. For this I was given £2m for transfers. Not much money had been left over after arrivals of players such as Charlie Adam and Jordan Henderson to mention couple

TRANSFERS

The Season started with offering the German Bundesliga club Mönchengladbach, £15,25m for the young goalkeeper Marc-André ter stegen. An offer they could not refuse. The deal was sealed with Marc-André, a weekly salary of £ 34,500 per until 2015. Doni who was bought to assist Reina was not unfortunately to include in my future plans. He is a great goalkeeper but unfortunately doesn't obtain the skills and age that is required for the expectations I've set up. Doni is to play the reserve team this season

A second quick move was the transfer listed Ibrahim Afalley from the Spanish giants Barcelona for £1,9m and £45,500 per week . The thought was to get in a player to sub Downing on the right winger position as the old fox Bellamy is starting to get some gray hairs back on his neck. Bellamys place on the first team was not threaten due to Steven Gerrards long time injury (5 months from start). Afalley would be assisting Maxi as the offensive playmaker this season

TRANSFERS

With the arrivals of two upcoming players, I needed to offload players to balance the season budget. Fábio Aurélio set of to Palermo for £2,3m. I had big hopes the young English player Jack Robinson to fill the position after Jose Enríque. Australian goalie Brad Jones was sold to Málga (£1,5m). Having ter tegen joying the club, there was no need for a fourth goalkeeper. Hansen Martin was loaned to MTK

Other bigger Premier League signings

Leighton Baines / Everton Arsenal £15,5m

Hulk / Porto Chelsea £16,75m



... Next report in couple of days. After that kick off 2012/13
