Good evening all

First of all i want to thank Burnley Football Club for making me the manager of the club. I was a dream come true.
I also thank the readers of FM Base with out you guys these stories wouldn't happen.

Breaking news

Its January and the transfer window as opened, Burnley hasn't wasted much time in signing a new player.
Jesus Vallejo what do we knnow about this player.

Born in Zaragoza, Aragon, Vallejo joined Real Zaragoza's youth setup in 2007, aged 10.
On 26 July 2013, after impressing in the Juvenil squad, he signed a new deal with the club.

On 23 August 2014, before even having appeared for the B-side, Vallejo made his professional debut, starting in a 0–0 draw at Recreativo de Huelva for the Segunda División championship.

On 26 December he further extended his link, until 2019.

Vallejo scored his first professional goal on 5 April, netting the last in a 1–1 away draw against CD Tenerife.


Jesus Vallejo is one of the most promising Spanish central defenders in FM15. With excellent concentration, anticipation and tackling this defender will be rock solid being less error prone. Needs tutoring to match his light-hearted personality to his great determination

The windows hasn't been open for long and Burnley have made a second signing
Thiago motta from PSG on a free transfer. what do we know about him.


Born in São Bernardo do Campo, São Paulo, Motta signed with FC Barcelona in 1999 at age 17, from local Clube Atlético Juventus, initially being assigned to the club's B-side. He eventually graduated to the first team in 2001, making his official debut on 3 October against RCD Mallorca in a 3–0 home win.
In the 2001–02 edition of the UEFA Champions League, Motta made seven appearances and helped his team to the semi-finals. In the 2002–03 season in La Liga, he appeared in a career-best 21 games (with three goals) as Barça could only finish in sixth position, and also played an important part in the following season's long UEFA Cuprun, which was eventually ended by Celtic, in the first leg, a 0–1 loss in Glasgow (0–1 on aggregate), he was sent off during half-time after hitting out at opposing goalkeeperRobert Douglas, who was also shown the red card, in an incident that happened in the tunnel.
Motta was also dogged by several injuries, particularly one suffered on 11 September 2004 against Sevilla FC, which sidelined him for seven months, during his time at Barcelona. He would eventually need surgery to rebuild the anterior cruciate and lateral ligaments in his left knee, but was able to make a swift recovery and made an emotional comeback, taking to the field to rapturous applause as eventual league champions defeated Getafe CF 2–0 on 17 April.

Atlético Madrid


In late August 2007 Motta signed a one-year contract with Atlético Madrid, for an undisclosed fee. Once again he began the season on the sidelines, injured; in the Copa del Rey quarterfinal match against Valencia CF he was ejected after only 25 minutes, and the Colchoneros lost the away fixture 0–1 and subsequently the tie.
Due to injury to regular starter Raúl García and the departure of Maniche in January 2008, Motta's opportunities increased. In March, however, the recurrent knee problems reappeared, and his season was over, followed by a successful surgery and rehabilitation in the United States, following his release he trialed with Premier League side Portsmouth, but did not sign for the club.

Italy


On 11 April 2009, Motta scored two goals (one of them in the first half's injury time) in a final 3–2 home win over Juventus FC. He finished the year with a career-best six goals, and his club qualified for the Europa League.In September 2008 Motta joined Genoa C.F.C. on a free transfer, after passing a medical. During his debut campaign he performed consistently well and was a regular in the starting eleven, under coach Gian Piero Gasperini.
On 20 May 2009 La Gazzetta dello Sport confirmed that Motta, alongside teammate Diego Milito were transferred to Inter Milan. Inter paid €28 million for Milito and €10.2 million for Motta, while as part of the deal, Genoa received five Inter players: Robert Acquafresca, Francesco Bolzoni, Leonardo Bonucci, Ivan Fatic and Riccardo Meggiorini, Motta's agent Dario Canovi later revealed that his Genoa contract with the club included a buy-out fee of €10 million.
Motta's debut came in the 2009–10 season's opener, a 1–1 home draw against A.S. Bari, and his first goal came the next round as he opened the scoresheet in the Derby della Madonnina after an assist by Milito, as Inter defeated A.C. Milan 4–0. Having been in and out of the team for the duration of the campaign, he netted his first brace for Inter in a 3–0 win against Bologna F.C. 1909 on 3 April 2010.
Motta also appeared in eight games during the club's victorious Champions League campaign, including the 0–1 loss at former side Barcelona for the semifinals (3–2 aggregate win). During that match, he was sent off after apparently striking Sergio Busquets in the face with his hand; the incident gathered attention due to Busquets' apparent feigning of injury.
On 23 October 2011, from a corner taken by Wesley Sneijder, Motta scored through a header in a 1–0 win against A.C. Chievo Verona, which was Inter's first home win in 2011–12.

Paris Saint-Germain


On 31 January 2012, in spite of Inter manager Claudio Ranieri indicating shortly before he was confident the player would remain with the club until the end of the season, having called him to the upcoming league match against U.S. Città di Palermo, Motta signed with Paris Saint-Germain F.C. in France, for a fee believed to be around 10 million. Following his move, he revealed that he dreamt of playing for the club ever since fellow Brazilians such as Raí, Leonardo and Ronaldinho shone in the French capital, he also revealed that he was not happy at Inter, refusing to further elaborate on his reasons to leave.
Four days after signing for the club, Motta made his debut for PSG, against Evian Thonon Gaillard F.C. in a 3–1 home win, being booked in the process. On 22 April 2012, in another home fixture, he scored his first goal in Ligue 1, contributing to a 6–1 victory overFC Sochaux-Montbéliard.
On 21 February 2014, aged 31, Motta extended his contract until June 2016. In August, he was left with a broken nose after being headbutted by SC Bastia's Brandão in the tunnel, as his opponent went on to be suspended for six months.

2 more new signings at Burnley André Ayew & Youri_Tielemans

Early career

Ayew began his career with TSV 1860 Munich, when his father played in Munich. At the age of ten he was playing for Nania, a club whom his father is currently the chairman of, in Accra, Ghana. After four years of plying his trade in the club's youth academy, Ayew was promoted to the team's senior squad at the age of 14. Despite being on the senior team, he still participated in youth-sanctioned events, such as the 2004 edition of the Altstetten U-19 Tournament, in which he was named one of the tournament's most famous players.[2] Ayew played professional football at Nania for two seasons before departing the club and returning to France to play for his father's former club Marseille. Ayew joined the club on an aspirant (trainee) contract and, upon his arrival, was inserted into the club's youth system and placed onto Marseille's under-17 team. While there, he impressed coaches and teammates scoring 11 goals during the team's league campaign. Ayew also participated in training sessions with the senior team training alongsideSalomon Olembé, Habib Beye, and Bixente Lizarazu. Following the season, on 27 May 2007, Ayew signed his first professional contract agreeing to a three-year deal.[3] He was officially promoted to the senior team and assigned the squad number 29 shirt.

Marseille



Ayew made his professional debut for Marseille on 15 August 2007 in a league match against Valenciennes coming on as a substitute for Modeste M'bami in the 89th minute. Marseille lost the match 2–1.[4] On 6 November, he made his UEFA Champions League debut against Portuguese champions Porto at the Estádio do Dragão playing on the left wing in place of Bolo Zenden. Ayew played 77 minutes before being substituted out as Marseille were defeated 2–1. Ayew earned praise from the media for his performance of containing Porto right back José Bosingwa.[5][6][7] Five days later, Ayew earned his first league start against Lyon at the Stade de Gerland. Ayew again featured in the team as Marseille pulled off a 2–1 victory.[8] Ayew finished the season with 13 total appearances; nine in league play, two in cup play, and two Champions League appearances. Ayew's first season with the club drew the attention of Premier League club Arsenal who reportedly offered Marseille £5 million for the player.[9][10] However, Marseille denied the approach.

Loan movesTwo months later, on 31 August 2009, the last day of the transfer window, new manager Didier Deschamps confirmed that Ayew would be joining newly promoted Ligue 2 club AC Arles-Avignon on loan for the entire 2009–10 season.[14] Ayew was given the number 10 shirt on arrival and was inserted into his favorable right wing position.[15] He made his debut with the club on 11 September appearing as a substitute in a 1–1 draw with Angers.[16] The following week, he scored his first goal for the club in a 4–2 defeat to Tours.[17] He was ever present in the team's fall campaign, but due to the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations, missed the month of January. Ayew returned to the team on 5 February 2010 and appeared as a starter in all of the team's matches for the rest of the campaign. On 9 April, with the team in the midst of a promotion battle, Ayew scored a double in the team's 2–1 victory over Le Havre.[18] The following week, he struck again scoring the opener in the team's 1–1 draw with Guingamp.[19] On 14 May, Arles-Avignon secured promotion to Ligue 1 following the team's 1–0 win over Clermont. Ayew started and played the entire match.[20] He finished the campaign with Arles-Avignon appearing in 26 total matches and scoring four goals.For the 2008–09 season, Ayew switched to the squad number 8 shirt, however, due to the arrival of attackers Hatem Ben Arfa, Sylvain Wiltord, Bakari Koné, and Mamadou Samassa, Ayew was deemed surplus to requirements for the season and was loaned out to fellow first division club Lorient for the entire season. Ayew was inserted by manager Christian Gourcuff as one of the team's focal points of the attack alongside Fabrice Abriel, Kevin Gameiro, and Rafik Saïfi and made his debut on 16 August 2008 coming on as a substitute in a 0–0 draw against Lyon.[11] On 27 September 2008, Ayew scored his first professional goal after netting the opener in the team's 1–1 draw with Sochaux.[12] A month later, he scored his second career goal in a 4–1 rout of Saint-Étienne.[13] Despite the initial success, Ayew was limited throughout the league campaign to just appearing as a substitute. He finished the season with 22 league appearances and three goals and, on 30 June 2009, returned to Marseille.

Return to MarseilleAfter the successful league campaign with Arles-Avignon, on 16 May 2010, Marseille manager Didier Deschamps confirmed that Ayew would be returning to the team and that he will be earning some significant playing time with the club for the 2010–11 season.[21] On 5 August, Ayew signed a three-year contract extension with Marseille.[22] The new deal keeps him at the club until June 2014.[23]Despite the arrival of Loïc Rémy, Ayew was inserted as a starter by Deschamps and scored his first goal in the second league match of the season against Valenciennes in a 3–2 defeat.[24] Following the international break in September, he scored a double against his former club Arles-Avignon in a 3–0 win.[25]
He scored a hat-trick, including two 90th minute penalties, ensuring Marseille a 5–4 victory.[32]Ayew was named in the squad for the 2011 Trophée des Champions match against Lille OSC held on 27 July 2011 at the Stade de Tanger in Morocco.[31]
In December 2011, Ayew signed a one-year contract extension until 2015 with a release clause of €18 million.

On 4 April 2014, Ayew scored only his second hat-trick of his Marseille career, inspiring his club to a 3–1 league victory, their first in seven outings, over bottom club Ajaccio.[33]

Check for Lacina Traore. In my save I got him for 1,4m€ to Marseille where he went on to be backup to Gignac scoring 5 goals in 14 games, all as substitute entering game in 70+ minute. A good joker.
