Season 2
2015/16
Pre Season
Major transfers in and out once again.
Other top 4 sides mainly strengthen with squad players.
Targets
Premiership - Title Challenge
FA Cup - Win
League Cup - Back up players
Champions League - Quarter finals
Im not being too ambitious with the changes we've made to the team. League is always a must in my eyes. After last seasons mess up against Huddersfield we have to end our mega Cup drought. Back in Europe after a 1 year absence. I'd hope for much more but would accept getting to the Quarter Finals

I got rid of so many poor youth players that i've had to filter the free transfers out
In
Mario Gotze - AM
View attachment 312974
My strategy for the summer was work through the player search list and go after unsettled players that clubs are in talks with, hence how i found Gotze who should be a key player for the next decade for under £30m.
Eder Balanta - DC

I've not found the story but thanks to whoever it was i read the story who had signed Balanta who i forgot was an amazing signing for me in last years game.
Silvio Lung Jr - GK
View attachment 312972
Back up keeper. Will only play if De Gea goes off by force.
Falcao signed on a permanent deal and 2 Youngsters join for the youth team

Out
We'll start at the top. Last seasons top scorer
Robin Van Persie joins Real Madrid for £17m. He was about to turn 32 and i thought this was the last time we could make a decent return on him and the money could go towards the cut price deal for Falcao.
Michael Carrick was another squad players who was getting to the end of there career and was moved on to give youth a chance.
Jonny Evans left to give up space to new defender Balanta and the kids
Sime Vrsaljko was a back up player signed for £7m and made 6 starts for me last year so to more than double the value in one year.

Balanta ousts Rojo from the starting 11. Pogba & Mata make a ridiculous midfield that go to our new moto "We'll score more than you" Only change to the front 4 is Falcao taking over from where RVP left off.
