Notts County Second Season – The Transfers
| Tweet |
As I said in the previous post I felt that we don’t need to buy too many players but I also wanted to build for the future and get some interesting youngsters in the squad. The result was that I bought… 13 players and another one on loan. Some of these players will be loaned out this season hoping that they will become better players for the seasons to come. I decided to sell some of the players in the squad, it was a natural decision considering the team’s progress.
Now let me introduce some of the most important signings, you can find details about every player in the squad in the newly created current squad page, it will be updated every time I sign a new player or sell a player from the squad.
The new left back that I brought in is Charlie Mulgrew, a tough Scottish defender with a great left foot. He is also very strong and tall and I hope that his technical abilities will make the difference when needed. I was happy that I could get him for free from Aberdeen, it was a bargain I couldn’t miss.
I needed a pair of centre backs and believe me, it was tough to find some good pacey ones. I chased several targets but eventually settled for Marc Muniesa and Ritchie De Laet. Muniesa is a good Spanish prospect coming from Barcelona, he’s only 18 years old and I can see that he has a lot of talent. He could be a first team regular right away and I hope he will become a Premier League player with us.
Ritchie De Laet came from Manchester United and he was quite expensive, 3 million euro. I chose him because he can cover any defensive role, he could be quite important in a long season.

I think you will either finish 2nd or 1st really depends on how fast your squad blends together good luck.
Thanks Eddie.
You have a big squad now and most of them can come in to do the job for you. Promotion should not be a problem the only question is how many points your team will get at the end of the season. I like your new addition regarding your current squad, let us know your players better.
Thanks for your feedback Lye.

Adam Szalai was a steal on a free. He’s a great player in real life…County actually wanted him at the start of this season. Turned him down though.
@Tom
I didn’t know that County wanted him in real life, thanks for the information. I knew him from all the hype there is around him in Hungary, he’s a huge prospect for them, they hope to build a great national team with the likes of Szalai and Dszudszak.
Yeah them too and Krisztian Nemeth from Liverpool, on loan at AEK at the moment.
Indeed, they have a promising generation on the rise, it will be an interesting team to watch in the future.
