Well, summer two, was given £24m for a European finish. I bought a fabulous looking young left back for £6m, a forward called Brown Ideye who looks a beast for £12m, Alex Smithies as I’ll have to sell Hennessey soon, Seamus Coleman on loan, and a young belarussian kid who’ll play on either flank or at AM.
I let Bentley go back, but they wanted £6m to buy him with is ridiculous, despite his 20-odd assists.
I’m fed up of these tough starts to the season, though. West Ham away (they finished 6th last year), Cited away and Liverpool at home. Finished those three with 2 points, but then won my next our so I’m currently in 2nd. Tough Champions’ League group, with Inter, PSV and Young Boys – so basically between me and PSV for second. Drew 0-0 at Phillips Stadion, and hammered Young Boys. So to speak.
I’m struggling to shift my fringe players though. Milijas went for £4m, but can’t give Henry away, or Foley, and Doyler’s not attracting any interest either. Also getting annoyed at loans. I’ve got some quality u21s, want no money, no recall clause, no wage contribution, no restrictions, and nobody bids for them.
