Pre Season 16/17

Ok so as per usual I spent ages and ages and ages looking for some good regens!

Instead of detailing each one I will put all of them here and you can check out which ones take your fancy!

Total cost 813k...**** yeh!!

Yeh I got quite a few but they all have great potential, was worth the hours I spent looking...and yes I mean hours...I had a free Saturday and got a little too into it but hey ho!!

Players Out:

Matt Lowton - Swansea - 4.5m....Wasn't going to get much game time anyway!
Raheem Sterling - Man City - 30m...I didn't want to sell him but he was moaning and they met his release clause! Just means I will put Wyke in the first team instead of rotating him!

I also managed to sell a really average Regen for 3.5m to Spurs, idiots!!!

Players In:

Seamus Coleman - 6.5m
View attachment 376079With Lowton leaving I needed a new RB, Coleman will go straight into the first team and his value almost doubled!

View attachment 376078
Well this is awkward!...Just sold everyone's favourite! whoops!

Congrats on another good season! Didn't miss Benteke as much as I thought you would.

Yeh we managed to do OK! Welbeck came good after he settled! Next season should be a good one!

Just read this through and really enjoyed it! Brilliant game and I'm really thinking of taking up a similar challenge - I've started enjoying playing with youth, but normally use too big a side to implement them enough!!

On a side note, the thing that stood out to me the most is that Saints had Giorgio Chiellini in their squad for your Europa League Final... and yet got relegated!? Is that the Chiellini from Juventus!? He's a beast, how did they pull that one off!!

Keep up that hard work, will definitely follow this!

Cheers for following!

Yeh I always sign too many youth players and most don't reach their potential.

It is that Chiellini! they got him in the second season after they finished second (Juventus were almost relegated)

We were winning 4-0 after 30 minutes, little bit worrying when they got 2 back but we were in control.

Results:

Nottm Forest 1 - Maupay

Southampton got back to the Prem but are as **** as ever!

TOP! oh yeh! great results and Liverpool slipped up which is brilliant!


Newcastle hatred!

The betrayal of Pardew!

Ok so I felt this needed it's own heading and sub-title!

You may remember one of my regens called Flynn, a tall strong and quick striker with amazing hair!
View attachment 374823^^this guy^^

Well I had many offers from teams to take him on loan and Newcastle said he would be a key player...so I accepted.

Well the B******s lied and he has played nothing!! not once!

I may be overreacting but this does annoy me! and I don't think I can recall him until the end of the season!

Therefore I declare war on Newcastle and will no longer sell or loan to them and will look to destroy them in anyway I can!


​

 

[Average Joe]

Pardew did the same with me with Zaha! Key player and barely played. Every other week I was getting told to have words with him, he made promises and then never kept them! Proper arsehole Pardew is

December 2016

Villa 3 - Brunetti, Welbeck, Emberton

Nice easy win against a local team!

Cardiff 1 - Scocco

Key Prospects

Ok I thought I would do a little different post this time and just give you an update on the brightest prospects I have at the academy.

These are the guys I will fight hard to as long as I can. Most should make the first team easily once they mature.

So first up is my favourite, Stephen Wyke
View attachment 373759Over 80 games so far in the Prem with 15 goals and 10 assists! Very excited with how he has progressed, especially that his determination has doubled!

Gordon Connor
View attachment 373751One of my favourite young strikers! I kept him this season as a back up to Welbeck and he is doing well.
Prem games all together with 7 goals and 9 assists.

Dan Emberton
View attachment 373749I let Clark leave in the summer and this guy has taken his place and established himself in the first team!
20 first team games this year with 3 goals to his name.

Gary Flynn
View attachment 373746This is the man who is on loan at Newcastle but wasn't being played. Well after me constantly moaning he is now playing and scored 4 goals in 8 games.

Shea (Nigel) Thornbury
View attachment 373743I like this guy partly cos he is from Northern Ireland but also at how quickly he has progressed this year. Tutoring him has really helped!

Hopefully we can see them progress into world beaters!

January 2017

Ins and outs

Ok I didn't even look at the transfer market because we were doing so well but I did let a couple people leave

Agbonlahor left for 1.2m...he hasn't been the same since his injury
Alex McCarthy left for 5m. He wanted to go so didn't stop him.

I probably should have bought a back up keeper...whoops too late now!


Results

Everton 1 - Berisha
Villa 3 - Okore, Agbonlahor, Caldwell

Nice away win, happy with the performance.

FA Cup 3rd Rnd
Villa 1 - Lallana
Liverpool 2 - Beradi, Smalling(og)

We were the better team but couldn't get the goals

Villa 3 - JWP, Connor, Welbeck
Man City 2 - Dzeko, Shaqiri

I was not expecting it this easy, almost 30 shots on goal!

Villa 2 - Lallana, JWP
Liverpool 3 - Schmid. Suarez (2)

Liverpool get the win against us again. Pretty even match, could have gone either way!

Arsenal - Hernandez
Villa 2 - Welbeck(2)

Another great win against a bigger side.

Chelsea 3 - Barbosa(2) Hazard
Villa 1 - Hughes

We did terrible, worst performance for ages...serves me right going on the attack from the start!

​

psst, dutch colonized indonesia until 1942, therefore in our NT there are many indonesian-dutch players (even gio van bronckhorst is an indonesian-dutch, sadly indonesia quite f-ed up several years ago and only use local players. we just don't know we could use mixed nationality. so the first time we did this is in 2012 aff cup, where the only good indonesian-dutch player is an old australian league striker and an amateur player from dutch league )

Thanks! I'm glad someone is enjoying it!

I did not know that! I assumed it was just a random mix! maybe I should have kept him and tried to make him a beast!
