So im not too happy after making a loss last season for the first time since i took over thanks to facility upgrades and a stadium expansion they have given me no transfer budget and want me to cut my wage budget. This was before the Dongou deal so i do have around ?7million to play with which will go into wages.
Players Out
So a couple of players left for big bucks besides from Dongou bringing in around ?7million we also let moaning Thorgan Hazard go for ?3.4million will long serving Ademi left for ?8.25million. Arguably 3 of my best players have left this window but all 3 were not happy at the club and Ademi and Hazard had already handed in transfer requests.
So we brought in just under ?20million in transfers while loaning out aroun 12 youngsters and letting 5 or 6 players leave on free transfers.
Players In
So i brought in 6 players with only one of them costing me any money and that was only a compensation fee because he was a youngster.
First off i brought in Ewandro who i have had a look at on a few different saves and only cost me a small fee and should be Dongou's replacement even though when i signed him on his pre contract i was hoping he would play along side him.
Ewandro - ST

Next up i found a short stop gap replacement for Ademi in the form of former Real Madrid, Chelsea and Arsenal man Lassana Diarra.
Lassana Diarra - DM

So next up was a replacement for a second choice GK after i decided to not renew Kelava's contract, the youngster i brought in from Inter looks like he could take the Number 1 jersey straight away.
Francesco Bardi - GK

Next up was a 2nd choice left back as Kolarov is getting a bit old now while Ruben Lima i like to use on the wing a bit more now, This youngster came through the ranks of Man City's youth academy.
Darren Taylor - DL

Another Man City academy product Rugani joins and he will hopefully push for a starting berth in defence next to Sebastian Coates.
Daniele Rugani - DC

Finally i brought in a young Brazilian winger as Oliseh and Adam Johnson have both dramatically fallen away, I cant get rid of them for lack of trying, Johnson picked up a bad injury at the end of last season and has gone right down hill.
Pablo Dyego - AMR
