Went against my own rantings and sold Defoe for a whopping 100k profit, lol. 2.5m to Wigan. Going back to the one striker formation. Also leaving were Ludovic Sylvestre, also for 2.5m, Kevin Thomson for 500k, Gilks as the only senior member on a free.
In so far at the beginning of July:
CB - Bakary Soumare for £4.5m
DM - Phillip Bargfrede for £925k
GK - Pawel Kieszek on loan for £575k
FB - Phil Bardsley on loan for £375k
ST - Jermain Lens on loan for £300k
I did receive an offer of £9m up front, and an additional 2.5m after 20 league goals from Tottenham for Musona, but I turned that down.
I still have 4.75m to spend in the market, so I'll still be attempting to make a move, but we'll see.
My latest youth and training facilities upgrades will be complete in October as well.
I've been shot down once again for a new stadium. They actually did agree with my reasoning this time around, but claim we can't afford it. Our finances are secure and we've made a profit every month in the Premier League, albeit minor ones. We were at 99% capacity all-season with a 20k capacity.
edit: Used 4.5m to sign Pontus Wernbloom from AZ.
Projected starting XI
GK: Forster
LB: Warnock
CB: Soumare
CB: Cathcart
RB: Bardsley
DM: Bargfrede
CM: Wernbloom
CM: Taylor-Fletcher
AML: Sako
AMR: Grandin
ST: MusonaComment

Fuuuuuuuuuuuu. Sturridge out 3 months, Krul out 2 just as we move in to second place in the table.Comment

Well, hopefully Krul being out will have the upside of allowing young Romanian Laurentiu Branescu to stake a claim. He has more potential than Krul, but is still only 19 years old. He didn't get any time last year, and spent the second half of the season on loan at Kilmanrock where he made 10 appearances and conceded 11 goals.
So far he has made 5 appearances (2 league, 2 cup, 1 in Europe) and only conceded a single goal
Apparently he is having trouble blending in and speaking the language but it's not showing yetComment

Looking through some of the match performance reports, and a common theme is 'Nigel De Jong is having trouble motivating himself to play when his manager has such a low standing in the game'.
I think I'm up to a national rep now and obviously my methods are working you cocks. Only my boys Steven Taylor and Frederik Sorenson seem to have my back 110%Comment

De Jong was flawed from that start. RELEASE ON A FREE :champ:Originally posted by mgoblue2290Comment

Lost two more players in a late 2-0 win over Burnley this morning. Sidney Sam is out for about two months and Demba Ba is out for a month. So far, I have been lucky and not lost any true first teamers (Pedro and Hoilett start on the wings) but it is really sapping my depth. I now have no backup for Cisse as Sturridge still has another month or so out.
The 16 year old German kid I've mentioned previously has 39 goals in 21 U18 games. Maybe he can do a jobComment
