[PCT] Bralirwa | Season Recap
redordead
I'm looking forward to see how you make use of your developing talents to improve your depth scoring which seemed to be the main issue.

Always nice to the long term investment in talents bear fruit. Tesfatsion is probably the best of the lot, but is a year away from being ready. Also will be interesting to see how you replace/supplement your aging stars, as you mention yourself that they won't be at the level they were previously.

Contract Renewals

i.imgur.com/WNYXusz.jpg

Well, this has certainly been an eventful renewals with some major effects on our teambuilding and transfer strategy. To get the, respectfully, less important news out of the way: We bid farewell to all four of our stagiaires from last year, who unfortunately did not leave a lasting impression. We wish all the best to Shemu Nsengiyumva, Aziz Melki, Marc Brustenga and Ivan Cobo and hope they find a home and room to develop somewhere else.

But now, to the headlines. Angel Madrazo and Fabio Silvestre both regressed due to their age following the previous season. Given their nonetheless high quality, we were keen to keep them on as veteran leaders. Unfortunately, we had to take their new abilities into account to not recklessly spend undue cap space and both were rather unamused by our offers. Nonetheless, we part amicably and who knows, maybe we’ll talk again in free agency.

The final rider to leave us might be the most surprising and also the one management regrets the most: We were unable to come to terms with our young sprinter Houcaine El Sabbahi. Throughout the negotiations, we felt like we offered fair compensation and even stretched outselves quite a bit with our final offer, and it was still not enough. We have expressed our continued interest, though, and will certainly make contact again during free agency.

With that out of the way, let’s take a look at the riders who have renewed their contracts:

.
Renewals:- 120.000
Released:- 1.090.000
Wage Cap:1.210.000

● strong intention to keep | ●●● open for offers | ●●●●● clear intention to sell
So ... that’s quite a bit of cap space, huh? While releasing two of our biggest earners obviously makes up the biggest piece of that pie, we were also able to get the overall wage bill down in renewals.

The biggest contribution here comes from Stallaert, who takes a second major paycut in a row to get his wage down to 500.000. Ndayisenga was also open to a wage reduction after a quieter season in Madrazo’s shadow, while Uhiriwe adjusted his wage according to his status after a brief bidding war in last season’s free agency.
On the other hand, youngsters Tesfatsion and Rutsch earned raises in accordance with their progress, while Uwizeyimana was modestly rewarded for an improved scoring output in 2022.

This leaves us with two things: On the one hand, an enormous 1.21M in cap space. On the other hand, just 13 riders and a roster that’s basically a decent CT team plus Joeri Stallaert (in his last prime season). Hence, a significant retooling is in order, both to remain in PCT as well as build for a brighter future. Should be a lot of fun! And if you’re interested in perhaps aquiring one of our riders, look above at our availability scale. We’re not actively looking to offload anyone, but some of them could be had for the right price.

I see some interesting opportunity here to have some talks in the future.

Also quite a huge paycut for you but with releasin g some of these monsters this was to be expected. But now you have enough foundation to buld up strong again. Good Luck for this and we talk to each other for sure Smile

I would have been very interested in a rider if I was still in PCT Sad

A shame with El Sabbahi. I guess you have a busy transfers season ahead of you, but I know you're up to the task Smile

Three big departures and, as you say, only Joeri Stallaert as a true leader for the PCT. Some significant moves will need to be made but you have the cap space to make them. We might have to discuss the departure of one of the Belgian's loyal lieutenants, because Jonas Rutsch certainly looks like quite a treat.

With a renewals setup like that there is only one possible outcome - major signings plural, and then promotion.

An expected rebuild lined up, and seeing the renewals, it should be a very interesting one. Look forward to seeing how it goes Smile

Rutsch available at a perfect time for our plans and the worst time in general Frown

I'd love to make something happen there, and maybe we have just the right piece for your PCT survival in return...

Time for the rebuild. High expectations after previous transfer seasons but obviously a lot to do and perhaps it's time for a longterm build?

Nice to see Stallaert with a good cut. That should help things too.
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters!

I know Uhiriwe is available for loan, but he's also at five dots right?

Huge calls to chop Madrazo and Silvestre at this juncture, but it gives you maneuverability from the get go in transfers I guess. Can't wait to see what you do - sure as always we'll be talking Smile

Thanks for the nice comments! Yes, quite some moves will have to be made but I'm pretty excited for transfers - a rebuild is always fun. And it looks like there'll be something to discuss with y'all, too Smile

Shakeup and rebuild indeed. It'll be a tricky balance between building for the future, which will definitely be a priority, and still making a reasonable effort to stay in PCT, which will require at least one veteran leader, I think. Hopefully I can make the right moves to strike that balance.

A shame with El Sabbahi. I guess you have a busy transfers season ahead of you, but I know you're up to the task Smile

Why not anymore? Surely all my guys could be very useful PT riders, too Wink Either way, I do believe we may have a thing or two to talk about in transfers, we'll see ... And yes, it is a shame with El Sabbahi. Imo, it was a risky decision either way, keep him on a deal that felt too expensive, or let him go. Still not sure if I made the right call, but it is what it is now.

How come? The Madrazo deal? In hindsight it was a tough one, but at the time I think the assumption that it could help both of us accomplish our goals wasn't farfetched. It's an interesting chapter of the team story, if nothing else. Or did you mean something different?

Listen, I want to keep up the share of Rwandans, so if we just swap one for another, Uhiriwe could certainly be part of that deal, yes Pfft Otherwise, it'll be rather difficult to persuade me to let him go Wink I agree though that we will talk for sure.

Oh great, the promotion predictions now start even before I sign the ageing and potentially overpriced superstar Pfft

Looking forward to finding out what the things to talk about are, because I can't think of any Shock

Absolutely nuked your leadership core outside of Stallaert, you have so much space to work with that you're essentially able to build an entirely new team, going to be super interesting to see how this team looks post transfers!
 
Eden95
A very different team post renewals, and lots of free real estate to build on. Could be a tricky transfers to rebuild a squad, but I think that you would definitely be able to navigate that minefield and come out the other side in a good position.

Feel for you with El Sabbahi - it's always challenging dealing with the jump in wage demands in renewals when sprinters max, as I found out with Wouters. Some interesting availabilities there, with a big transfer window ahead of you!
 
ember
Indeed a big rebuild incoming!

Seeing Rutsch open for offers is encouraging, as we think he could do the role as a key domestique to Wisniowski very well. Tesfatsion is also a very cool rider we've looked at every transfer season since he joined the DB. Understandably to see you've got strong intentions to keep him, but I guess we'll do talks on Rutsch and others, and who knows, maybe Tesfatsion becomes part of our talks at one point?
