    Decided to spend some of my money as I had loads left from Transfers over the last two years, brought a centre back for 3 million upfront with future fees, could not pay more than 6 upfront as that is all I have.

    Here is some screen shots of his him, 3 mill upfront plus I think I had to offer 2 million in future fees but maybe even more but some of them are ones he should never meet but if he did I don't mind paying as he would be a very expensive player then.

    What do others think of this signing, record signing for me, hope he does well in England, if he gets in that team then he has to be good.

    Good second season in the prem. Finished 5th and was well in the title race but blew it when I had a few hard games in a row. I was on the receiving end of some thrashings from "the big four" though but such is life.

    Got offered Petr Cech on a free in November as well, he'd been released from Chelsea t 31 and was willing to pay for 30.5k a week so naturally snapped him up

    I am going to be spending a bit of time on all three saves for once today, Maidstone, Dartford who I have in League 2 and Gillingham in the championship.

    Main focus, Gillingham and Maidstone, might go to the Dartford one if I am bored.

    Was on a real bad run, dropped within four points of drop zone, 7 games without a win, but then I played the bottom team at home and won 6-0, first clean sheet in ages aswell, then I went to 10th place Brighton and won 1-3 at there place, two wins on the bounce but I am still only 5 points clear, it is hard, getting rid of a few players and I am only bringing in 4 or 5, trying to bring the numbers down and for once I have spent quiet a bit already before the window is open, will level the books out with selling a few.

    Just got myself round to downloading it, not expecting big things as it the fist FM I've got since 08. I'm (of course) the Saints, so can you more experienced tell me who are the best players to sign, best formation...ect? Thanks, Chapel. COYR!

    Just drew against Charlton, not the best game threw the three points away in the last 3 minutes with a bad pass in defence, but that is what happens, I still believe I will survive, I hope I can get a few players in so that maybe in the next two seasons I will try to get to the premiership.

    Been promoted to div two, had Marlon Harewood who scored 55 goals in 42 games. Had to sell him as he wanted a new contract of 95k a week. :(

    Lost my first game as England manager after I won my first 10 games.

    Was 3-0 to Turkey away. I was not happy at all but I am still on course to qualify from the group stages.

    What do you think of this player, 2.4 Million upfront and maybe upto 2 Million more in the future.

    2012-01-22_00004.jpg

    The other player I said about earlier I paid 3 Million upfront with the fee rising to maybe 7 Million, that is 3 mill+ 1 Mill over 12 months and 3 million of add ons if he does well.

    I am hoping these two players will be good enough to keep me in the league as they are young and have a lot of talent.

    Also got Ryan Bertrand from Chelsea on a free who is great and used to be at Gills as a youth player and was sold when he was 16, They brought in a new left back and he was listed and the new manager said he could leave on a free, he has been in their first team but they dropped to 12th so he was dropped, not up to Premiership football but would be great in the championship, take a look.

    3-0 up and hit the woodwork twice in 22 minutes against Inter Milan at home in the champions league group stage.

    I'll print screen the half time and full time scores.

    Champions league FT score vs Inter.jpg - Full time score. It went belly up after half time because Scott Dann's knock got worse and worse so I had to take him off but Inter had already scored after 46 minutes anyway to make it 3-1. I had to play Jack Cork out of position at CB because I had no others avalible. Also towards the end of the game, Niang got injured but I had already used my subs. He is now out for 3 weeks and I only have 2 stirkers capable of playing in my first team but I still have Jake Sinclair but he is only 1 star. I can't use the loan window because it is shut annoyingly enough !

    Just made the biggest risk I have ever made, sold my captain to Newcastle for 3 million upfront, and 2 million add ons if he gets 20 goals and plays for Scotland and plays 20 games for them, The fans are not happy as he was fans favourite, But I had to do it as he wanted 100k a week,
    By the way it is Johnny Russell.

    I am doing a lot of work in this transfer window, so far got rid of over 30 players as I had around 90 players between the reserves and youth team.
