Pressure is now on!
Barcelona are a aging team but with a lot of money to spend £173m available! After winning the league 5 times in his 6 year regain Luis Enrique will feel he has been unjustly let go but the club have failed to keep up with Real Madrid in Europe after there consecutive Champions league wins Darran has been brought in with nothing but Victory being acceptable and the Barca board room have told him he MUST win all three trophy or his job will be under review at the end of the season!


Carlos Puyol was the clubs Assistant manager but was rubbish so out he went and i brought in the best of the best Mauro Tassotti from Milan

My old friend Michael Skibbe joined Italy as my assistant leaving Bayern Munich


Targets
La Liga - Winners
Copa del Rey - Winners
Champions league - Winners
Other target, Will play Messi in the Aguero role to see if i can break my own goals scored in a season record




Barcelona transfers
IN
Igor Prusina - The your Croatian goes right into my 1st team. Found him by accident while looking for my usual big team signing Vrsaljko
Hulk - My old friend from my Man City days. Perfect to play in any attacking position in my team and will be back up


Jack Wilshere came in for the minor fee of £108m to make my dream central midfield with Case and Thiago playing a more attacking role


Sandro costing £63m wasn't necessary this season with Mascherano still up to the task but if the cash is there then im going to use it!




Out
Mostly back ups and regens for sale. Only guy who may have started i got rid of was Marc Muniesa



Other Main summer transfers
A Griezmann another Inter superstar leaves for £27m to join Chelsea
Marc-Andre Term regen, German legend joins spurs for £23m

Real Madrid sign Italian superstar Silvio Spinetti for £17m
Man City add Alan Dzagoev for £20m plus regen Marcelo Alfaro from River Plate
The premiership also saw Chelsea spend £37m on a regen Russian center back
And finally Man Utd sign veteran G Higuain for a big £22m, Why sell Rooney for £5m!!!!!!

Diego Simeone left Spurs to take up my old job at Juventus
Massimo Allegri replaces Simeone at Spurs
Roberto Carlos joins Chelsea from Athletico Madrid after Carlos Quiroz retired

Transfer window

Spain was very very quiet in the transfer window. Sevilla spent £15m on a Brazilian regen and elsewhere Arsenal spent £31.5m on Newcastle center back and possible pirate Scott Silver.
 
Have been playing all morning and have got half way through February and the game going far to slow so the time has come to end my story i believe. Will keep the save incase i come back to it but time has come to start a new story with a bit of a difference

Thanks everyone and sorry its stopped early again!

Games going far too slow? How's that? Could you upload the save? I would love to play it.
 
Think its too big a database combined with my aged Laptop. Will find out how to upload a save and will do so later today
 
Upload it to MediaFire and put the link down, that should do it. Although uploading may take a while, depending on how large the file is.
 
Enjoy dude

And let me know how you get on
