Second half of season 3
January transfer window
Not too much to report about here. I wasn't really looking for any players and no player caught my eye on the cheap. Therefore the transfer window ended with just one sale and a few promising youngsters to go out on loan and no players coming in...
Season 3 - Summer transfer window
All in all i was pretty happy with the squad and didn't feel the need for any major signings/improvements going into this season. Some things did happen though. I stumbled across a player on the transfer list that i felt the need to sign as i thought that he...
Besides the story line - A little sneak peek at one of the signings for season 3
A player that we didn't really need but at the same time a player that i couldn't turn down as I think he can help take us to the next level. - Feel free to guess!
Thanks! - Been busy with work last couple of days but hoping for an update tonight or early tomorrow.
And i'll probably do one more season split in 2 updates at least then and maybe monthly after that, as its a little more detailed.
End of season 2
January transfer window
The January window was always going to be a quiet one. We had two players coming in who we secured earlier in the save; Lincoln and Mayke. This meant we didn't really have any real money to go out and invest further in the squad, which I didnt think was...
Season 2 Summer transfer window
After the sale of Pedro Neto and securing Champions League football we were given a budget of around £8 million.
As mentioned in previous posts i was generally very happy with my squad. With Pavelka and Llorente coming in, besides already having Vukcevic...
End of season 1
January transfer window
I didn't really have much to do with here transfer budget wise, so instead i checked the list of players whose contracts were to expire at the end of the season. Two players attracted my interest; David Pavelka, a powerful box to box midfielder and Marcos...
As promised earlier, a little look at the youth prospects at SC Braga..
A closer look at the youth prospects
Fabio Balde - DC - 17 years old
Some decent stats for a 17 year old and could definitely develop into a squad option at the club. Probably doesn't have what it takes to become a...
Oh that reminds me that i forgot to look at the youth prospects in that post, guess i will do that in a small extra post later today. But as stated at the start i'm already 2 season in, and can confirm i have my eye on him :P
A first look at the squad
My first thoughts looking at the squad were that it looked pretty well rounded and with no major lackings. However, i did find the central midfield a bit worrying. We only had Vukcevic and Fransergio with enough quality in this position. We had plenty of quality in...
Before I start out this story I'll just inform you that I have already played the first two seasons on this save and the format will be 4 posts with half a season in each. After that I will re-evaluate if I will continue with updates every 6 months or change it up.
Basis for the story...
I ended up spending a lot of time looking at the list of lb's and even though he didnt fit the "experienced 24-28 year old" i ended up buying Ayrton for 2.5 mil as he had the attributes i was looking for and could still develop further. Been good so far :)
