Everything is ready at Millerntor stadium for a new season, my third managing St. Pauli in Football Manager 12, my second in Bundesliga.
Last year we had a great finish (7th place) for a newly promoted team, an Europa league spot was gained too, so my main aim for the summer market campaign was to improve the team adding more quality players, Europe will surely be a huge progress for my small club.
- Transfer budget: 5.5 M
- Yearly wage budget: 11,8 M
Players bought
Edgar Prib is my most expensive signing so far, a huge investment for a tiny club, 6 M, he will become my regular left winger, even if he’s not his preferred position as he likes to run with the ball through the middle, his stats should suit well the role I have in mind for him
Alexander Callens is a Peruvian Centre-back I snapped for free from Real Sociedad, it seems to have a big potential, will provide competition for Pandza and Wormgoor.
I had to pay 2,3 M to Werder Bremen to get Bjorn Kopplin (24) a quick German defender, will rotate with Geis in the right back position, another man to bolster my defensive line.
Patrick Funk (24) has been at St. Pauli since the start of my adventure, but he was just on a two years long loan, it was time to buy this guy, a perfect ball winning midfielder that already showed his skills with us.
Roni (22) is a young Brazilian right winger , he had a decent debut season at St. Pauli this year, so I decided to buy him back having a 1.8 M agreed price for him.
Other players:
- Pape Souarè (23) left defender, free
- Bongani Khumalo (26) central defender 1.6 M
- Franck Julienne (22) striker, free
- Felipe Bastos (24) Mc, 425 k
- Davy Klaassen (20) striker, loan
