This season, my starting 11 consisted of... -------------- Krul ------------ Santon - Bostwick - Fonte - Fox --------- Schneiderlin --------- -------- Cork - Hammond ------ de Bruyne -------------- Lallana -------------- Lee ------------- In the summer, I've got Falque coming back permanently having rotted in Spurs' reserves for a year. I'm also trying to get Belhanda and Giroud in from Montpeillier, who've just been relegated from Ligue 1 (de Bruyne was only a loan deal). I also have Joe Bennett signed from Middlesborough, who will run Fox close for the left back starting berth. And in holding midfield, I've brought Rene Krhin in to challenge Cork and Schneiderlin. Having finished up 9th in the Prem after a horrible end to the season, I'm looking at replacing Fonte with someone else. I'm keen on Shawcross and Stoke were in the drop zone most of the season, but escaped. I'm also thinking of dropping the DMC to create 3 attacking midfielders with 2 holding midfielders, especially if Belhanda comes during the summer, to create a midfield five of Cork, Schneiderlin, Belhanda, Falque, Lallana. Hopefully that will prove to be a very strong line-up. If it goes how I imagine it will, it'll be immense. Here's how Bostwick is doing btw... please log in to view this image
Shawcross is amazing, I cannot see you picture at the moment, but what season are you in, are you going into the third season.
Going into the third season now, a gem just came up for centre back. Sebastian Coates for £5.5m, on the transfer list. Played as Liverpool once, managed to get a lot out of Coates, so hopefully if I get him I can replicate that.
He is suppose to be a great player, hopefully he will do well for you, I see once the picture come up that you were going into the third season. Does Hammond do well for you as he doesn't do that well for me.
Most of the season, his ave rating was over 7.10 but it dropped towards the end of the season. He did well in the Championship for me too. I didn't even know he was available til a news story popped up saying I was after him
I will have to try and do something different with him, I think my formation needs to change as it don't suit Soton, my basic 4-4-2 has worked elsewhere but may need some tinkering to work well at Soton.
Only £5m You can get more if you set your expectations higher at the start of the season, but if you don't achieve, you will be sacked....probably. If you're lucky, you can try asking for more money mid-season, or the board might make more available. Depends on how the club is doing financially.
Oh ****.... Not only have I got Coates....well see for yourselves... please log in to view this image
Shouldn't be....anyway, it's Jack Robinson being offered to me for 4.5m. Naturally I bid, and got him too
He is class, defiantly on the update, I have him on loan at the moment, he is only 17 at the moment and he is top quality.
