Nice work Ando!
I've signed 3 young players who'll be part of my cup squad next year. Josuha Guilavogui has come from Sainte Etienne, he's one rating away from being a first team squad player.
Then I've signed 2 players who are longer term projects; Cédric Bakambu and Valentin Eysseric. All have impressive stats and are 22 or younger. Perfect for my squad.
My current young stars are doing pretty well. Thauvin has gone up 2 to 85, Coretin has jumped up 5 to 80 as has Dabo. I'm managing to construct a pretty decent cup team now.

Ya, I offered Dzeko and cash to max out my chairmans valuation. Sure it might impede me now, but Chico is a longterm signing anyways.
Safe to say I never heard of any of them RS
my scouting has taken a backseat for now. I'm pretty happy where I am.

I'm getting a bit of an itch from not making a signing for so long (only been about a month). My squad doesn't need anymore players though. Youth is fine and first team is ok with the majority capable of rising further in future.

They're all french young players who are playing regular football for their teams. All with decent stats of course!
Cheers Damo.
Ya, no fear in them having very good stats with your research RS

Isn't Essyeric the fella who got banned for about 12 games for that horrendous tackle?
That's the one! Tackle aside, he's had a pretty decent breakthrough season for Nizza.
Yeah, thought it was. Aye, he always seemed fairly promising on FM during one of my many saves in the French league.
I'm 7.3m in the red
I've done it every season, except it's got a little out of hand this time. I usually buy players, wait for the transfer ban to clear, sell then get back in the 'black' and invest in better players.
I think this time though I went to big with some players wages and MK's 22,000 stadium capacity really doesn't help - I have no chance of gaining any profit at home. I'll finish the season with MK, try to guide them to the big leagues, but I think I'll be moving on at the end of it.

Yeah, those wages are insane. When I was in Division 2 I tried not to go above 600k (and that was with a stadium of capacity 40k) and made a decent profit after each game.
And if you do leave them, sell one or two players before you leave if you can so that they're not completely financially screwed. If Dias and Tymoschuk and possible a third (for example) are sold and the loan deals expire at the end of the season they might be ok. Would still be losing money but they'd be in the black for a while.
I don't think people who run up debt at a club should be allowed to move onto another side as it just cloggs the leagues up with shite. Like the Leicester scenario.
How did he manage to get Leicester down to a squad of 20 aswell?? I didnt think that was possible!
Both Marco Amelia and Jason Jarrett had put in transfer requests.
I think the game has forgotten that my stadium capacity is 39,000. Despite being no lower than 4th in Div 2 all season (after 2 successive promotions as well) my attendance hasn't gone above 23,000 all season I don't think, not best impressed with the lack of support from the people of Sheffield for my all-star team.
As it stands my Cup Squad is now an average age of 21 and a rating of 85. Hopefully i'll have a few more rises before the Cup starts again next season.
ah. are they fecked damo? or did he have money left in then bank?
They're fine financially.

Is mine. Not too bad.
My squad is coming on a bit with risers and established players improving, just need a new goalkeeper.

I have some top talent out on loan in Ola John, Jesse Rodriguez, Ross Barkley and the youth team has Kondogbia, Wolski, Leali, Olinga, Benzia and Holzhauser.
Hopefully some good risers in there and decent foundations for the future.

That's good. Atleast the computer manager can buy some players if no one steps upto the plate.
They should have 3-4 million at least, made sure he was out of debt when I brought Mata from him.

My cup team is getting there. Valdes always plays in goal anyways. If Ince gets a move in the summer that would be sweet. I expect Icardi to rise aswell. Savic has a chance and so does Chiriches if he ends up as expected with AC Milan. Costa and Leitner at a stretch.
I wouldnt have too many risers other than that, well none to rise enough to get into contention for the cups.
Inspector TR on the trail!!
What's so funny?
Lost 1-0 to Spurs. Former United player De Rossi dealing the blow to the away team.
Chelsea go top of the table giving them the edge in the title race.

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Forgot about the league game last night! Got the win though against Coventry! Great result. Chelsea next though.
And still dick me in the cup final on penno's...
Shit just got interesting at the top of the table...
I'm liable to feck ups on a grand scale though, so it's a long way to go yet...
11 league games unbeaten though, which is a new club record...
Looks like I'll make the semi's of the SMFA Shield as well...
Could've potentially been a treble season if I'd not fecked up in the cup...

Won my game 3-2 (Messi with an 88th minute winner) but no change in the top two.
Got a win against Swansea, 2-0. Bloody needed that, i've been on a horrible slide down the table recently.
3-1 vs Arsenal. HUGE!!!
For the first time in weeks I didn't dominate the stats, and finally I got a win. Stupid game this.
