Extraordinary season for AaB. Well done. Good idea with the introduction of AaB News, and I like the club awards etc. However, there's something about the new format that makes it quite small and difficult to read. It was much easier on the eye before...
TRANSFERS
what a busy window. Our first signing was the return of right back bruus. after a successful loan spell we brought him back to the club for £1m from Troyes. Bruus agreed an important role on a 4 year contract on £7.5k per week.
we then signed Arnau rafus to provide cover in the goalkeeper department after he had been released by valladolid.
the first departure of the window was want away defender idris said. he attracted intrest from england and left for £2.5m to norwich city.
we needed some cover at full back. That came in the form of brondby youngster clement biscoff. his versatility could be a key develoment point for his. he signed on a 5 year deal on an undisclosed fee and his key reason for leaving was for champions league football.
winger diagne has left the club to join osk for £300k.
moller joined charlton for £250k.
nielsen has joined cagliari on a season long loan with an option to buy on £3m.
a major blow as two days after the first game of the season muller had his release clause of £2m was met by toulouse. this meant with a heavy heart he would leave. we wish him all the best in his future career. in response we brought in young goalkeeper tobias jakobsen from vb with a view for rafus to be our new number 1.
in a devastating double blow we accepted an offer from cardiff for star player john for £2m. our response was simple. sign bovalina for 800k and then start training new signing biscoff to be a winger.
we needed a leader. some experience to help our young side. We also needed someone who could actually take a set piece. That is why we targetted wass from Brondby. We managed to agree a £600k deal for the 36 year old.
Matches
We started the season off at home against randers. thus far we have not recieved much interest for any of our main players luckily so we go into this game relatively unchanged. A full debut for academy graduate moen is a standout. Bruus also makes his permanant debut. john started off the same as he did last season. on fire opening the scoring in the 36th min. unfortunately without said we dont seem as tight at the back. They equalised through odey just before half time. in the 65th minute tho we would get a penalty when iredale was brought down.iredale converted the pen to make it 2-1. disaster struck for AAB as gutierrez was sent off for a disgraceful challenge two mins after the penalty. we would see it out though and win 2-1. Great way to start the season.
the second game saw us face s.i.f away. the game would end as a boring 0-0. The most interesting thing about it was that nathan redmond plays for s.i.f.
Boss Notes
As stated previously. We were always going to have some turnover. It is a shame to lose Muller as he was so important last season. John as well. Please dont worry though we will rejuvinate and build!
