Could not believe it when I was 2 nil up at Half time in my second game of the season
At Chelsea aswell, well ended 2 all. That is closer to reality, we through it away in the second half though.

 

Where did you download that from?

I've started a new pentagon challenge, and got the job at Jamaican side Dela Vega Utd. They're so obscure I can't even find anything about them on Google.

 

First thing I thought about was starting the pentagon again, it's going to be so, so good.

 

There seem to be tons of clubs without managers, and some of them don't have any real players. For example, I'm in the Jamaican 2nd tier and 99% of the players in the division appear to be fictional. It's the same with the Moroccan 2nd divison as well. I think most of the top divisions have real players though.

 

I'm not too bothered about that, not as if I know any players from the jamaican 2nd tier etc...

 

Feel like crying, I only have Jack Butland and Schmeichel, but Kasper is much better than him, but they are the only two who are decent, all other keepers are young and this happens,


What will I do, as you can see how unlucky I am as the window just shut, ****ing **** it is. All season, Butland ain't good enough, now I wish I did not cash in on Jason Steele as I thought at the time, only need Schmeichel and Butland as Butland can play cups and Kasper will play all league games as he will probably not get injured, how wrong was I.

 

Had to make quick action, only just noticed that the window shut on the 2nd on there.

Made a signing of a Keeper and also one great one on loan with a view to sign him.

Krul, great keeper from what I know and also he has played a lot, he was a good price, 3.3 million, I had just sold Obertan and brought in a new midfielder cheaper so it was ok, will rise to 5 million if he does well.

Costil, good keeper from the French league, as you can see he is on loan from Stade Rennais, don't know much about him, but he has played a lot of games for his age and he done well for them last season, he was a loan till the end of the season with a 200k fee, and if I want to sign him I set a non negotiable fee of 2 million, don't think I will sign him, but I brought him in as I don't want to take a risk again, he is my back up and I did not expect that to happen to Kasper so if Krul got injured I have someone.

Overall in the window I done well on the outs but did not have as many good ones in, Lost Steele, Obertan, Lua Lua and many of my good gems, some of them were 4 and a half stars so I did not want to let them go,
Scally sold my 2 best ones, my 5 star ones, but I did get a good amount for them, I brought in the defender for 2.5 million rising to 5.5 million and Scally sold him for 10 million rising to around 12 million so he did not do bad as it paid for all my players this window as we were short of cash for this one, only had 8 million to spend.
He also sold my young 5 star striker who is in the Spain under 21's for 9 million to Spurs, he was great though and I wish he did not do that, but I have to live on, I have done it many times, but I just feel this squad is weak, I spent only 8 million but we have 18 million there if we need it as I have spent none of the money made by sales.
I also have the money for Obertan, Jason Steele and Lua Lua, but a lot of that is over 12 months.

I have just been shocked by Hearts after a 1-2 defeat at home against Man Utd. I just lost against Hearts in my first group stage Europa league game 3-0, that is well bad.

Here is a sum up of my signings, I will just post the team, any other are just youth players and are in the under 18s.

I got Sturridge on a season long loan for a second season running, don't have to pay his wage fully so that is why I brought him in. I brought in Zamora as a back up as I didn't have enough money to buy any more at the time, I do now but I would rather try not to spend and allow the small debt drop and also make sure we have positive accounts this year.
Labyad was brought in to replace Obertan, he was a good replacement who is young, only 21 now, he had spent 3 years at Fulham, he did spend time with Tottenham, he is currently in real life at PSV.
Adam Johnson, the best signing, so happy I have him, I got him from Stoke where they nearly ruined him, he had not played hardly any football for nearly 2 years, one year out on loan but he did not play all the time. He did not cost me anything as he was near the end of the contract but to make sure I got him I will pay 2 million in the future if he does well.
Josh McEachran from Chelsea, happy to have him as he was only a million in the future.
The other signings are Krul and the other keeper but you know about them, the only other main one to talk about it Joe Allen who I got from West Ham as they were relegated so they were asking for 2.5 million but I did not have the money at the time so I agreed to pay 4 million in the future, may be more, but on certain terms like 50 goals I doubt he will ever meet that one so I have used a lot of logic in getting him.

 

i have started my carrer mode with plymouth
here is my competive results so far
port vale (h) 2-1 W
Brentford (h) LCG 1-1 pen 4-2 w
macclesfield (a) 1-1 D

NEED HELP!!!

I am saints, and well established premiership club, and want to kick on, but cant sign anyone!! I have £38m transfer budget but no one to spend it on! Here is my team

GK: Keiron Westwood

DR: Kyle Naughton
CB: Scott Dann
CB: Curtis Davies
LB: Keiron Gibbs

MR: Alex Chamberlain
MC: Jack Cork
MC: Jay Spearing
ML: Adam Lallana

STR: Emmanuel Adebayor
STR: Daniel Sturrage

Subs: Wayne Hennessy, Stephen Kelly, Sean St Ledger, Michael Essien, Jermain Defoe, Shane Long, Danny Rose

Where could I strengthen, and with who? Tried to sign whole load of players but wouldnt even enter contract negotiations? Im in 2015.

Thanks guys and girls!

 

I would say you could strengthen central midfield! why not try and sign n'vila or what ever his name is?

 

I thought CM and maybe RB, but its getting players in who are better which is the problem

 

Hmmm what about Tom cleverly of man u or Jack wilshere?

 

CB as well for davis.

 

Is there a reason why the majority of your squad is British? Are you trying to sign British only players?

If not then:

GK - Sommer, Ter Stegen, Luis Guilherme
RB - Corchia, Inkoom, Romario, Martin Montoya
LB - Ricardo Rodriguez, Diego Renan
CB - Guilermo Burdisso, Papadopolous, Craig Dawson
CM - Nainggolan(might be spelt differently), Lucas Andersen, Jonas Svensson
MR - Ahmed Musa, Marco Reus
ML - Lallana is still awesome for me in 2017
ST - Fierro, Niang, Bakenga,

Also look at the bigger countries U21's especially Brazil and Argentina as you will be able to find some future world beaters there who will be willing to join you,

 

Try and win a cup or two or get into europe through the league its good at attracting players.

But my best tip is spend a shed load on quality scout with really high ability and POTENTIAL finding stats then send them out to countries like argentina and brazil find talented 18-21 year olds and kick back and wait for your league position to rocket!

I've got a fella who is equal to wesley sneijder in almost everyway and in some aspects better, he's only 22! Quality regen, from america so its worth poking around there youth systems too!

 

I have a good mixture of foreign and British players, best thing to do is have a mix.

best thing I can recommend is just to bring is a new keeper and a centre back, not priority to get a new keeper, just two new young players and then just spend a few million on some young ones for the future.

 

Look who i created.

Just starting it the game up for today for a little bit, Burnley in the cup, only the League cup though.

So happy with my win in the cup, all the goals come from players making their first start.
Zamora, Byrne and Rault, I am happy with them all.
Zamora is on loan and he is here as a back up, Rault is my new midfielder and he has had to wait a bit for a first game, he was on as a sub though as he had been injured and Byrne was on as a sub in his first game.



Drew against Blackburn, new keeper Krul was great 1-1, but I should have lost, sadly my top scorer Ward got sent off early on and he will probably be banned for 3 games, time for Sturridge to play a bit, I started Zamora that game as Rodriguez morale dropped as I changed the captain as Schmiechel is out for the season so I changed it to the new Keeper Krul and he does deserve it, he was man of the match against Blackburn, he has been man of the match for 2 out of the 3 games he has played so he is great, kasper is not happy but there is no point in having a captain who ain't going to play this season and also he had only been captain for 3 games so he and the team ain't happy, but they will get over it, he is a good player and I hope he will come back good next season, hopefully the team will get over it in the next 10 games.


So pissed off now, just lost my second group game in the two games I have played in the group stage, threw it all away in the first 38 minutes, they are **** at the moment.



Just had a great League game
Won 0-3 at Blackpool
My new Midfielder Labyad got 2 goals on his 3rd game, he is good, he is the replacement for Obertan, thought it would be tough to replace him as he got 6 goals and also he created a lot as he is great, but he seems to be good.
I have drew 1-1 at Wolves new aswell which is not as good but it is an OK result.
