Cork will be good for mid table premier league team. 4m seems reasonable.
Is Walker doing good? Usually Walker and Naughton(both RB) will be out of favour at Spurs. If not try Ivan tomecak, Ivan Pillud, Samuel Inkoom or Jerry Vandam.
 
This is what i expect my squad to me entering the premiership (first day of season) - with who i expect to go not included and the transfers i have agreed included.

GK - Hradecky, F.Fielding

DL - R.Wallace, B.Easton
DR - Cho Won-Hee, A.Yakubu, G.Alexander
CB - A.Barthe, J.DeMerit, A.Bikey, (K.Long - might let go out on loan)

ML - Eagles, Kapo, G.Boyd (Sillah - might let leave)
MR - Soukouna, N'Gadi, Assulin
CM - C.McCann, McDonald, R.Gucher,

ST - L.Griffiths, J.Bothroyd, Mendes da Graca, M.Paterson (Rodriguez - might let go out on loan)

obviously quite a small squad, because il let a load go to free up the wage budget.


Budget atm is 16M + sales, i dont know if will increase next season though

sorry to post again but forgot what im looking for

1) Good solid prem CB with experience to play alongside Bikey
2) Young CB as backup (behind DeMerit & Barthe)
3) Quality CM to replace Cork who was in on loan
4) Young midfielder who i can shape into advanced playmaker
5) Quality striker who will get goals - preferably targetman to play with Girffiths

4) Possibly try Robbie Brady from Manchester United as a advanced playmaker, his technical stats are quite good and you could probably loan him with a view to his contract running out start of season 3 :)
 
With that team you will get relegated. You need players who know the league and can carry the not so good players. Luckily I spend a lot of time playing as newly promoted teams so I know a few bargains

1) Check the Tottenham reserves! Kaboul and/or Woodgate are usually avaliable. I would go for Kaboul due to wage demands however Woodgate is IMO better.

2) Jordan Spence is a great young player avaliable for less than £3,000,000 - wouldn't look much further than him unless Danny Wilson is transfer listed

3) Blackpool get relegated 90% of the time meaning Charlie Adam is avaliable, leading Premier League midfielder he can run your side, would also reccomend bringing in another CM preferably Wilson Palacios.

4) Leave this one to you, not the best at scouting young players.

5) Simon *** is a very good Premier League striker, scored 15 goals in my first season in the Premier League in one of my games but if you are looking to spend then maybe Carlton Cole? guaranteed 10-20 goals per season.

1) Sign Woodgate(he will be out of contract soon)
2) De Laet, Sebastian Langkamp
3) Steven Defour, Charlie Adam
4) John Fleck, Martin Galvan, Diego Buonanotte, Marco Verratti, Ignacio Camacho, Albin Ekdal
5) Try signing Eric Hassli, Helder Postiga or Mike Hanke(all will be out of contract). Have a look at Suk(South Korean forward).
 
thanks.
Yeah i have a very young and inexperienced squad, but iv absolutely owned the championship 105 points with 3 games to go, only 2 losses, 90 goals scored. So im hoping with these 5-7 additions i should just be able to survive :)

So far bought in
George Boyd - 1.4M
Charlie Adam 3.9M
Diego Buonanotte - free

& sold Carlisle, Cort & Thompson

got 9.5M + Sales left
any ideas, thanks so far :)
 
Maybe he is not at all what you are looking for, but Fazio is usually available very cheap for me (no one never picks him up). Quality CB imho if he is available. Not "proven" in PL tho.
 
Cheers, got quite a few in now and squads looking smaller & better.
Still need a striker i think - prefer someone who can play as a target man but has pace, any other areas i need to strengthen? (caps is first

GK- HRADECKY, fielding

DL - WALLACE, easton
DR - WALKER (loaned in), yakubu, cho won-hee
CB - BIKEY, DeMERIT, barthe, spence

ML - G.BOYD, mccann
MR - EAGLES, assulin, soukouna
CM - ADAMS, McDONALD, gucher, n'gadi

AM - BUONANOTTE, galvan

ST - GRIFFITHS, m.paterson, bothroyd,

Loaned out - f.spears, k.long, j.rodriguez, f.brandy, mendez de graca

Still got a few to sell but budget it 7.5M + sales so 10M ish, maybe a little more.

Negotiated, not sure if i should sign:
Stanislas from west ham for 5.5M
dos santos from spurs - 500k up front for loan & 2.5M to make deal permanent
 
tom cairney,hull.
bought him for 1.8mill
quality CM and is young aswell
 
Stanislas will turn out very good!

If you need a striker, try David Goodwillie, Michael Eneramo or Lacina Traore.
 
Try Garra Dembele from Levski. Technical stats may not seem too flashy but he has great mental stats. Can sign for about 800k or so
 
im burnley in the second season, managed to beat man cuity west brom, birmingham stoke :)
after 6 games im on 13 points and sit in 5th

usually just having balanced counter works well my team is

Jensen
Walker (Loan) Smalling (Loan) Bikey Fox
M. Diarra
Gomez O'Hara
Paterson Eagles
Grifiths/Owen

:)

Diarra wants stupid wages :(
Just bought in Stanislas for 5.5M & van aanholt from chelsea for 1.2M & offered contract to postiga & donadel
talking to manual da costa from west ham for 1.2m fee as cheap backup
other free players iv noticed that im considering as i have plenty of wages but not a lot of money
= Nathan Rooney (18-CM) , Patrick Viera, Eidur Gudjohnson, Luis Jiminez, Trocowoski (sp), Kyrgiakos, owen, woodgate

got 750k left but still need to get rid of few players
& loaned out edgar for 300k fee
