Thanks alot guys! I am planning to post another update tommorow about our transfer season goals, but i can see that most HQs aren't updated that much, so i am going to ask if it's okay to post this often? Might sound stupid, but well it can't hurt.
Well some HQ's post maybe 3 times a year, so i think you'll be fine

There's no limits on HQ posting - feel free to post as much as you like. It is better when we have lots of active HQ threads.

Okay guys, thanks alot. I will try to keep this updated as much as i can. Won't post every single detail, but giving some more info about and around the team and the things that are happening in races/off season is always good i guess.

Race Goals
As the start of the season is getting closer, we, as every other team, had to select 5 goals for upcoming season. Our sponsors were quite optimistic, so they send in these 5 goals below.
Race | Category | Target | Istrian Spring Trophy | C2 | Win | Tour d' Azerbaijan | C2HC | Win | Overall Rankings | CT | Top 3 | Tour de Pologne | C2HC | Top 5 | Tour de Slovenie | C2 | Top 5 |
It's going to be very hard we know, but with big budget Nordeus is giving us, they should be achievable.
Transfer Season Goals
Well, these goals above won't be achievable without any riders, right? So, we decided to make a "short"list of riders we want to get in upcoming Transfer Season. Most of these names are realistic and are probably going to be easy to get.
Name | Nationality | Age | Matej Mohorič | Slovenia | 19 | Kristjan Koren | Slovenia | 27 | Zsolt Der | Serbia | 30 | Kristjan Durašek | Croatia | 26 | Marko Kump | Slovenia | 25 | Blaž Furdi | Slovenia | 25 | Luka Mezgec | Slovenia | 25 | Esad Hasanović | Serbia | 28 | Nebojša Jovanović | Serbia | 30 | Robert Kišerlovski | Croatia | 27 | Emanuel Kišerlovski | Croatia | 29 | Grega Bole | Slovenia | 28 | Janez Brajkovič | Slovenia | 30 |
Pretty long list yep, but we hope we can at least get half of these riders. Some of them are very ambitious (R. Kišerlovski, J. Brajkovič), some of them very likely to happen (M. Mohorič, G. Bole) but all in all, it's going to be really fun Transfer Season for us.
That's it for this update, Nordeus TM.

Brajkovic probably won't leave Heineken as far as I know.
Kiserlovski is going to be hard, he's probably going to end up in PCT or PT.
Anyway, good luck! |

Good luck getting your 'very likely' targets... I know some PCT managers already mentioned those names before

Especially on the free agents it's going to be hard to predict. You can hope for bargains, but any potential 7 riders are going to get attention.
Good luck to you (at least your list has none of my names on it )

Some very ambitious targets on that list, but that will be needed for some pretty hard goals. I'm pretty sure we'll meet a few times in the bidding wars.
Just one tip of advice, since you're goals are so hard: try to get a good balance between price/quality of riders in the transfer season (and not tunnel to hard).
Good luck in the season!

Yes, quite ambitious!
I am no master of CT teams but, if you get 3 or 4 riders from that list you should consider yourself lucky.
Good luck though. Very nice looking thread

Your targets would make for a strong PCT team, never mind a CT team!

Alot of comments! Thanks everyone for stopping by and leaving a comment and thanks for kind words on HQ.
Just to explain, since no one probably understood (neither i explained it well), of course i am not going to get all of these guys, neither maybe even half of them but i thought having them on shortlist as riders from Balkan won't hurt. Of course, i probably don't have any chances to sign riders as Brajkovic, Kiserlovski (as i said above), but i just don't see a reason why couldn't i sign Der, Mohoric, Bole, Furdi, Jovanovic, Hasanovic, E. Kiserlovski and maybe even Koren... Okay, i know that Mohoric is probably going to be hard, since he has really great potential and some nice stats already, but i can also sign him on loan if nothing more.
As for Race Goals, i intentionally set the high goals to get the big budget for upcoming transfer season. Pivovarna Lasko disbanded this year , so i think it's my time to shine and i counted that it's probably better to get bigger budget now and get some of these talents and maybe even if i fail to success in these goals, i would still have some quality riders next season, which are going to be hardly reachable next year.
Hope you understood the point, blame my bad English if not.

The extra cash you get from goals will not increase your wage cap, quite a big thing to look out for! Other than that you are right, aim big, as wins are what counts in the end. Or a fun team .

It's nice to see you are going to go after Slovenians that are free agents after Pivovarna Lasko sadly disbanded! And not only Slovenians it seems, former Yugoslavia could be a really nice market and at least for me possibly a really likeable team. Good luck!

Haha, i am really aiming for big things in the first season and that's really noticable from goals i set upthere.
Thanks Roman! My plan really is to make Ex-Yugoslovenian team. The idea is quite unique, no one has a such a team so i decided to give it a go. At the end, i am from Serbia myself so it's probably the best decision. Thanks alot, once again!

If you land one of those big names....

Big thanks to jdog for making this AMAZING userbar!

Wow, right there, to the stars they said!
I will eat my hat if you will get your hands of even half of these riders (Mohoric could end at like almost half of CT budget), but good luck on that. I really like the ex-yugoslavia focus, there is a room for that. We will meet on the market for sure.

Well, it now seems like i just gone too far with all of these great names, but i will still try to get some of them without doubt.
But also, if i somehow get some of these big names, i will have huge chances to finish somewhere on top of the CT rankings, so it's double-edged sword...
