Football Manager

Also, just got offered Adam Johnson by Man City for £2.8m, so I'll take him for depth as well (or perhaps to start at LM, moving Moses to RM, and Coleman back to RB)

[Fappin Raptor]

You sold low on Gueye. If you gave him a couple more years you could've doubled/tripled the income on him.

[Lanteri]

Drew a tough group in the Europa League. Villareal, Fenerbahce and Dnipro.

The game didn't save after my Zenit result That's demoralizing

[BigHouseUSA]

Signed Salvatore Bocchetti, somehow. Took down Sunderland 5-1 at SJP (), lost in a spirited game to Man Utd at Old Trafford, 2-0, they had a 95th minute penalty. Took down Norwich easily too. De Jong/Ba/Sturridge up front is going to be great to have.

Heh, just looking at Bocchetti and De Jong's wiki and found this.

Might put Newcastle on hold for a bit and start in the lower leagues. Readin the llm forum on SI always brings abou that desire, maybe I can stick with it for a while

[Lanteri]

Well, if Cahill's playing career wasn't officially done before, it just about is now..

Just went down with damaged cruciate ligaments. Sent him to a specialist, where he's expected to miss 7 to 8 months.

In the same match I lost Stancu (who has 5 goals in 7 games now), for 5 to 6 weeks.

We're off to a strong start in the league with 5 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses, putting us 3rd in the table so far with 17 points, and we've won all 3 matches in group play of the Europa League, but it's going to be tough with all the injuries piling on.

We're also back under a transfer embargo, as the takeover talks have resumed once again.

Signed Frazier Campbell on a free for some cover while Stancu's out.

[Lanteri]

The takeover has been completed. Was taken over by a local businessman. However, the personal message I got from the new chairman says there's no plans to provide the club with any investment at this stage. So...not really sure how this benefits me financially, unless they plan to wipe out the debt..

About to finally start up my Everton game.

[Lanteri]

Tom Cleverley is joining the club in January for £3.5m. I was surprised to see him transfer listed by Man U, and I certainly jumped at the opportunity. I now have an all-English midfield, with Johnson-Rodwell-Barkley-Moses across the middle, and Cleverley as the AMC. And, well right now anyway, 3 other Englishmen in Baines, Jagielka and Maynard all in my starting XI. +1 to my domestic player bias.

[calgaryballer]

Just started unemployed. Took a job at Valdres in the Norwegian Second Division, Group 2. Had a £35k transfer budget on offer, so I figured, what the fuck

Currently sitting in 11th (of 13), with 5/24 matches played. This is a relegation spot

[Lanteri]

The groups have been drawn for the 2014 World Cup..

Group A: Congo, Mexico, Brazil, Bosnia & Herz.
Group B: Colombia, France, Belgium, Angola
Group C: Italy, Ivory Coast, Spain, Costa Rica
Group D: South Korea, Uruguay, United States, Norway
Group E: Honduras, North Korea, Holland, Argentina
Group F: Portugal, Russia, Nigeria, Bahrain
Group G: Croatia, Chile, Switzerland, Senegal
Group H: Germany, Japan, Paraguay, England

[calgaryballer]

I read one guys story on SI, and Congo won back to back World Cups in the 2020's

[Lanteri]

In my continuing theme of raiding Man U's youthier players, Danny Welbeck will also be joining me in January for £4.7m. So, that's now Welbeck, Cleverley, De Laet, and Gibson all on the squad via Man U.

Steve Bruce 2.0?
