UNL: Season 7 new purchases

It's the start of a new season and there is a bit of activity going on with Heidelberg's roster.

Last season we had to sell One of our top players, Juan Graciano Arrua, which went to CSKA Moscow for 12M. Not a bad transfer in termos of money considering we bought him for 1M back in 2014 from St. Davids City. I didn't really want to let Arrua go since he was still growing as a player, and very young. We also sold Takayasu to FC Berliner for 110K.

So far during this pre-season we have spent quite a bit of the money we received from the EURO cup last season and transfer cash. We purchased Tihomir Maric from Stuttgart for $6M. This is a very promising young striker that I believe in time could be much better than Arrua even.

I believed that our squad was a bit lacking in the left wing so I went out looking for a good winger, ideally with some experience since right now we only have young wingers in the squad. Unfortunately I found a 20 year old winger that was just too tempting to pass. The extremely speedy Brazillian winger, Nilson was our other purchase for a sum of $8.75M. While he is only 20, his numbers are very impressive and last year he played for Anatolis SK achieving an average rating of 7.13. He has had 7+ ratings for over 3 years now and I think this guy has a great future in our squad. I see this guy as a long term investment.
