January transfer window


Spent another big dose of my budget £115m to be exact to buy two young stars of world football. Robben has been injury prone to say the least so decided to go back to germany and buy winger Mario Gotze costing £65m and a heep of wages. First time i've ever managed to get him. And to help add to the englishmen in my squad i brought in right back Kyle Walker a ready made replacment for Darijo Srna who will be my back up Right Back

£50M for Kyle Walker!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dear me. I had him at Newcastleand he was quality but £50m!!!!!!!! Wouldnt pay more than £20m but I suppose u could afford it.
 
Still had £20m left over but had no space and depth was no issue

Merry Merry month of MAY


Final day of the season

​
Sunderland 0-0 Man City
A poor end to the season but still an amazing season. 100 leauge points over 97+ goal differece. Other records to fall were Aguero getting 62 goals, Biggest premiership win 8-0 to West Brom, most wins in a row 16, most points 100, 120 goals, Aguero's 6 goals against. 2 trophys out of 4 next FA Cup.



​


FA Cup Final
​
Wigan 0-3 Man City
Srna, Modric, Aguero​


Domestic treble complete with ease against Wigan who didn't bring much to the fight. Now onto the champions league final.
​

Champions League Final


Man City 2-2 Barcelona
Hamsik, Dzeko
Barca win 4-3 on Pens​


Brilliant match and we came so close to winning the big one.
Fell behind early on to a David Villa goal but scored our first penalty of the night with Hamsik pulling it level before half time. Villa again put Barcelona ahead and were looking good for the win until Sub Edin Dzeko pulled us level with 4 minutes to go. Through extra Time ewe were on top but missed our last 2 penalty's to just and only just miss out on the big one.

Season Review​


First season in England saw Man City sweep the board winning every domestic trophy on offering only loosing two games deservedly at Chelsea then a reserve side lost at Everton but leaves work to do next season with the ambition to go unbeaten and win the Champions League


Easily achieved all my targets for the season but those two league defeats and loosing in the champions league final gives me some fire in the belly to come back and win them next season

Star players were obviously Aguero along with his attacking buddys Modric and Hazard


 
PRE SEASON REVIEW

Season 4 - 2014/2015​




Well after my best season of FM12 as any team I hope to achieve similar levels of success this term. Aim is to win everything an do the quadruple as well as not loosing in the league all season maybe challenging Arsenals 49 game record




Targets
Premiership - Winner
FA cup - Winner
League cup - Winner
Champions league - Final appearance




Main signings


View attachment 232617​


Had a much quieter window this time clearing out all my dead wood and unhappiest of players.


Hulk - After helping Brazil to win the world cup I tried to sign there 3 front men all to be back up. Neymar wasn't happy with my contract and turned it down without negotiating, AC Milan weren't letting Pato go even after I'd bided £65m so in the end just got Hulk who's ability to play on the wings means he's a perfect replacement for Super Mario
Jack Rodwell - Had plenty of cash spare and with Rooney unlikely to leave Manchester the next best Englishman I wanted was Rodwell. Not sure how much action he will see but with Barry getting on he is pretty much relegated to a out and out reserve now





Main Player sales
Didn't need to sell anyone to start with but!



A Robben - Was quoted by myself as a big signing last season he flattered to deceived and after several injury before and after he was replaced with Gotze was happy to throw him to Everton with luck we wont get bitten on the *** with this risky move.


Yaya Toure - sent away on loan after nobody wanted to buy him last year but plenty off offers this time so a big save in wages


Mario Balotelli - Ah super Mario had a better 1st half of the season but grew sulky once Gotze arrived and decided to let him go and replace with Hulk


Stefan Savic - Back from Moscow didn't even get the suitcase unpacked before I sold him to Parma


A Kolarov - Training Lescott to be a LEft back and with his English nationality that rules out any need for Kolarov so bye!


Still got cash around £50m in the bank if I feel we need anything else before the window shuts.
 
The News​
In the transfer market Liverpool broke the back to get Lucas Moura for £30m and also spending £10m on Mateo Kovacic as they try to improve on 6th place last season

Ronaldo Stays at Real Madrid

View attachment 233666
​

With 6 months of his contract left Man City and Real Madrid finally agreed a fee of £42m but after offering him £250k a week and bonuses galore he accepted a £175k and probably less bonuses. Not happy and will not be making any new signings in protest!​

The 2015 FA Cup final goes down as the Sergio Aguero final. Partly because he scored both our goals mostly however as very little happened in the match where we had a routine win despite a late goal by the hammers to do the double double
