lovely story and presentation mate.. coming from an LFC fan lol!
really liking the story...
Niklas Sure is performing well for you-know-what his ratings are much better than Jagielka, and Sule-Stones are forming a decent partnership!
you can look at Khune for GK if Howard fails to impress.. he's cheap and reliable.. or Timo Horn($6.25m release clause)..
young players you can look for Savitskiy..
Cleiton for long term GK option.. he'll cost $8-10m, but make a bid only after January, as before that he's not interested in discussing contacts!
Samir as a CB, young, and really solid. have had really good luck with him in most saves, easily available for $8m or so, about 1m of that upfront, the rest over 48 months, and becomes worth $20-30m in a couple of years.. would be a great 3rd choice for you.. Rolando is a solid CB, so is Ezequiel Munoz if you want them January, they both had contracts ending summer '15 till the earlier updates..
Para for LB, same as Samir.. both are Brazilians.. Ruben Barbosa is also a possible wonderkid at LB..
Mayke, Martin Caceres and Sime Vrsaljko are good solid RB options who can play multiple positions, and available for fair prices considering their abilities..
Gaston Gil Romero and Lucas Romero are the best DM and CM options among young players.. Lucas Romero can easily start for you every game, he's that good!
Sergi Roberto from Barca, either on loan, or he gets listed for cheap..
Andre Hahn for a ridiculous low release clause of $3.5m is a no brainer, he'll be worth $20m instantly! and a better option than your other winners.. he's consistently good.. I got him for $3.5m in January, and sold him for $52m at the season end(July) to Real Madrid!!
Pione Sisto $4.2m release clause..
ST-Seb Giovinco, Raul Gimenez, Carlos Fierro, Aboubakar is a beast, Jan '15 is the cheapest you'll get him, after which he becomes a 20-30m+ player...
keep an eye on Gabriel Iancu and Nicusor Stanciu, who can become really really good!
