Some drama before my home game versus Mainz. Markus Pröll damages his neck and has to go to see a specialist for treatment. He will be out of action for at least two weeks. Unfortunately both my reserve keepers have minor injuries too. I desperately search around for a short term loan or an out of contract keeper to take on, but I can't find any in time and have to give a debut to 18 year old Bosnian youth team keeper Erman Muratagic.
I decide to send Sebastian Nayar on a season long loan to Dynamo Dresden to give him the first team football he wants. Hopefully the experience will help him develop. Bayern Munich enquire about one of my youth team players, 15 year old centre-back Ilir Curri (possibly a fictional character). After some negotiations I agree to see for £2.2m (in instalments) with 50% of any future transfer coming to Frankfurt. Sounds like this lad is going to have a big future in the game, but I need the cash now!
