Winter transfer highlights - 4th Feb 2031

Seems I missed some deadline day deals in the summer so I'll add those too.

Sheff Utd signed keeper Spike Brits for free on summer DD. Then this winter they've signed Roony Bardgjhi for 48m. Jonathan Rowe was sold for £47.5m.

Sunderland signed Tanguy Nianzou on summer DD for £55m, and also Joao Felix on DD for £38m. Nobody of note in Jan.

Derby signed Jonas Urbig, Yves Bissouma and Riqui Puig on summer DD and have loaned Maximo Perrone this winter.

Bolton signed Sambi Lokonga for £42m on summer DD and have loaned Conor Bradley from Sunderland in the Jan window.

I strongly dislike it when all the teams have played a different amount of games.

Sheff Utd have hit a terrible run of form. Sunderland are maintaining their place so far. Bolton and Derby just like two mid-table mates chiling out.

Good news for Derby and Sheff Utd though, they made the Quarters of the FA Cup! The bad news is they play each other.



Oof what a game! Sheff Utd thought they had it but an Evan Ferguson equaliser on 85' and a Moukoko winner on 90+3 has broken Sheff Utd hearts!

Derby play Liverpool in the semis.

Where did we get to in Europe?
Sorry forgot that:

Bolton made the Europa Last 16 but were knocked out on pens by Girona.

Sheff Utd beat Girona in the Quarters and face Inter in the Semis.

Sunderland got spanked 4 - 0 on aggregate by Barcelona in the Champions League R016

So many of these going to pens! Wirtz made it 1 - 0 after 23 mins but Darvich equalised on 37. 1 - 1 AET.

Pens:

SCORES! 1 - 0
SCORES! 1 - 1
MISSES! 1 - 1
MISSES! 1 - 1
SCORES! 2 - 1
SCORES! 2 - 2
SCORES! 3 - 2
MISSES! 3 - 2 still. If Derby score their pen they win
SCORES! 4 - 2! Derby go through to the final!
fake pen to make you think it went on longer



Derby will play Chelsea in the FA Cup Final.

Not great for Sheffield Utd but all to play for!



Academy product Chris Biggs coming up clutch for Sheffield Utd! They are in the final and play Juventus. Could they do back to back European trophies after the Conference League last year?

Yep! I'll only really report on it if a team makes the quarters but I should've done a small write up for the first one. Just imagine it instead.

21st May 2031 - End of PL season.



I can't believe it! Both teams dropped out and have formed a Man City sandwich with Bolton and Derby. Sunderland lost their last two games to Villa and Arsenal. Sheff Utd beat Brentford on the last day but their form was not good enough before that. I will update this after some finals though as some will likely still get some form of Europe.

Wow, Sheffield fell off a cliff. We are a distinctly average football team. :lol:

Defeat for Sheffield Utd! Biggs popped up with another goal but it was too little too late. Maybe if @SilentWitness hadn't sold Bradley Barcola things would all be different.

Sheffield fighting on two fronts though. Terrifically well can club.

Who else dropped out of the Europe spots?

Haven't got time to send squad lists or anything so will do that tomorrow.

You're all struggling a bit so maybe I'll have a think and let you all get an extra superstar or something.
