    Just noticed that Kolo Toure is avaliable on a free, signed him up quickly, good to have a back up, signed him on a contract to the end of the season, him and Parker will be out of contract at the same time and will both by 35, then I will decide if to keep them.
    The thing is that Joe Allen is not as good as Scott Parker which is mad as I thought he would be a great signing at least I did not pay too much as he seems to be turing out to be a really bad signing.
    I think Josh McEarcan will be a good signing though but I need to play him a bit more as he is not happy at the moment, weird thing is that my Dutch 19 year old regen who I have said a lot about is a great player to have in my team already, him and the Dutch striker are both highly rated and many clubs have been after them and made offers which I reject, I will try and keep them to the end of the season but I may let them go in the January transfer window which is 3 months away as I should be able to replace them.
    Here are the two, Kejansie is currently not be targeted by anyone but Liverpool and Tottenham both made 4 offers between them which I turned down, together I brought them in on deals that meant I paid 4 million upfront rising to around 8 or 9 million but they were well worth it.
    2012-02-09_00007.jpg Bolscher 2.2 million upfront 2 games this season 1 goal, he is great.
    2012-02-09_00008.jpg He just seems to be so talented for someone at a great price like that.

    2012-02-09_00009.jpg Kejansie 1.8 million upfront, what a great midfielder he is, I buy a lot of player from the Dutch league even though I don't have the leagues open, all you have to do is make sure your scouts go there and have a look over the league for good players who are young scout them and then bring them in if you have enough cash.

    Last update just won 1-0 against Southampton, so happy, kept another clean sheet, since I brought in Krul we are doing well defensively, even better than with Kasper, goals are hard to come by but we are strong, just not in the Europa league, I don't care about that now, I have just accepted that I am out of that cup.

    Going off now, first game tomorrow will be against Galatasaray, they are top of the group and I have no points in 2 games and to get into the top 2 I need to get more goals and 4 points more than them all before the end of the group, no chance, I will just focus on in the league.

    Got Saints promoted but then relegated again :(

    Squad for this season is pretty strong though:

    Keepers

    Lee Camp
    Mark Schwarzer
    Kelvin Davis

    Defense

    Danny Fox
    Dan Harding
    Jack Stephens
    Luke Shaw
    Jose Fonte
    Jose Hooiveld
    Ashley Williams
    Joel Ekstrand

    Midfield

    Morgan Schneiderlin
    David Crammond (regen)
    Jack Cork
    James Ward-Prowse
    Michael Kightly
    Adam Lallana
    Clint Dempsey

    Forwards

    Baskim Kadrii
    Billy Sharp
    Rickie Lambert


    I'm looking for a first choice right-back (don't say Clyne, he's not as good as everyone on here seems to think), and a backup striker, preferably a poacher, who won't get pissy if he doesn't play much.

    Eardley is playing for Villa and worth £4M. However, I have managed to sign Jordan Spence for £2.6M. Haynes isn't a bad shout though, I'm getting my scouts on him.

Everything.. got Good youth coming through and A squad who atm.. have played 7.. won 6 and drew the other!! Looking good for me!

    Oh right.. Thats a shame.. when ever i'm against danny haynes he's the only plyer i fear for his speed! It's ridiculous!

    You've done well to get Fleck. He's out of contract on my save and he still won't speak to me.

    All of them except DC and DR <laugh> His natural position is AMC, but I've been playing him up front as a trequartista, which more or less requires the same attributes. The man is a god of some sort.

    I got him for £3.5M from Odense. I'm now routinely rejecting £8M bids from Celtic and it's getting a bit annoying, but he has a professional personality so he's not kicking up a fuss. You look like you could do with someone like him in your team as well, considering Kane is only rated 2 stars. Scouting Serrano now.

    Am I the only one in the world who pays more attention to my own interpretation of stats, than I do the star ratings?

    Not at all.. I'm just saying.. That is the potential of the players i have.. Harry Kane has finishing of 15... Which is why he is played!

    Ibrahim will probably have to play a few months or a year in Belgium to get a work permit, but a pretty nice haul of talent for next to nothing.

    Somewhat confused as to how al-Khaldi is 6'4", has 14 jumping, and is apparently largely unable to head the ball.

    That last guy will be immense if trained properly.

    I've got bored of this game really, its far too easy. Doesn't seem to matter who I start as all you need to do is get 2 strikers who are quick in comparison to other players in your division and play one as an Advanced Forward and the other as a Poacher and you will score ridiculous amounts of goals.
