having a mare with Newcastle
After going on a winning streak of about 16 games it was followed by a terrible run of form, with me just salvaging 4th in my 3rd season
Summer transfer budget was £30m
A lot of dead wood and I want to make room for my youngsters to break through
I have to many strikers though
Oba Martins and F Llorente were my strikeforce, now I have Marchinouqs as an up and coming, then another 22 year old just signed for the future, and was offered 27 year old Robinio for £8m so got him as well
Going to have to chuck a few, loan them out

Sounds good mate robinho is a steal at that price lol what positions u looking at strengthening with your £30m
btw what u doing at Uni, im also at Leeds Met
.
well as i said earlier took over a rather sad looking juventus team, Nedved still playing age 39 for example !
lots of old underperforming players so I set about putting that too rights !
no real chance of doing anything in serie A as there was only 8 games to go however they were in the second knockout of the Uefa cup so I put all my efforts into winning that in all honesty in order to at least get something out of the seasona nd also it would mean european football for next season
anyway current squad
as you can see not the greatest so I set about the rebuild by literally having them all on the transfer list lol
so far players out
so quite a lot of money coming in and importantly a lot of the big earners going out, some of these i didnt want to let go like chiellini however he was an around £100k a week and im only getting gate receipts of £2m max a month so i needed to trim the wage bill as well as rebuild the squad.
So Ive gone with the theory of singing a few experienced players coupled with some regens in order to complete my new side for next year, player in so far
so still got quite a bit of money left to spend but desperately in need of a couple of strikers so going to see who I can get for whats left of my budget, then sign some squad players
oh the board are very dissapointed in my performance in serie A I mean come on guys I played 8 won 5 drew 2 and lost 1 !
not the end of the world !

a few decent signings there mate esp for the money youve got, how old is ronaldinho btw gbuffon should save you a few points as season in goal lol who u thinking in the strikers department with how much money left to spend on one
didnt see the chiellini transfer lol how you manage to get that much lolwell as i said earlier took over a rather sad looking juventus team, Nedved still playing age 39 for example !

I don't need team strengthing at the moment really, I have a sort of Aston Villaeque side at the moment, punching above their weight, I have a lot of young talent and I don't want to push them to the reserves by buying superstars
Topped up the squad with Hamisk from Napoli though, for an eye watering £30m
Anyhoo I'm doing IT Management for Business in my 3rd year, yourself?

hamisk is class mate good signing that, blown all your budget then
Doing Business Information Systems myself in third year too

well ive got about £70 mill budget but due to the balance etc im thinking of spending around £30m on at least 3 strikers.
Ronaldinho is 32 and hes halved his wages to £50k to join me, i think he should be good enough for at least 1-2 years though and when i had him for MUFC in a previous save he was class so worth a gamble for that amount imho
I just offered him out for £100m then came down to offering him out for £50 million and MUFc and Real Madrid both bid for him

pretty good business that he is class on the game but could buy a few good regens for that easily
finished 3rd with boro and semi final of fa and euro cups.
my team for next season is a potential league winner for sure on paper. im betting it doesnt perform like it should though :/
i could have done better in the league last year but right near the end my 2 strikers who had been scoring every week both decided to go on 10hour goal droughts
just played darlington in a friendly and took 21 shots scoring none. bleurgh

Tone down tackling? Or are they all quite aggressive players? Perhaps ask them to be a little nicer in future.

So Felipe and Ramos are defenders. Where does Carrico play? I found Vidic got a lot of yellows and sadly reds as well. Had to get him to tone his aggression down in games.
