Gateshead

[noobito]

Players who are released i mean are no longer needed by the club so are not offered a new contract and end up as free transfers, I just keep the players i have loaned in on my shortlist so i get a message if they are released from the club.Never pay compensation for them because they aint good enough to warrent a fee which is why they are released but they are good enough for free and can be cashed in on in a season or 2.

My parent club is Newcastle and i've only managed to get 2 players from them who were released.I get alot who dont have a club but alot of clubs go in for them so it can be quite hard to pick up the best ones.

The best way to bring in good players is wait until July 1st and just go to every club in your league, Set the view to contract and you will see players who are out of contract but have not been released because the club is currently trying to get them to resign.Offer them a contract too and you will get a few quality signings for free who would set you back a decent fee otherwise.

You will only get 4-5 players who actually join you some will resign others will choose other clubs over you but those 4-5 players are quality players for whatever league your in.Dont forget to check the clubs in the league below you as some of them have decent players and teams in leagues above you too check the reserves for them too.

25 games into the Championship and we are now sitting in 5th on 50 points tied with Wolves in 6th, Norwich on 52, Swansea on 53, West Ham 56 and Portsmouth on 66 points make up the top 6 with Fulham on 49 points just hanging around outside the playoffs, closest after them is on 39 points so i have abit of a cushion there.

Signing 3 players in January 2 i have mentioned and Oscar Diaz is joining on a free from Mallorca hes a AM RLC/FC sadly im on the 30th of December and he just got injured for up to 3 month so that just sucks.

Selling Fallon to Colchester for 200k, Kandol is off on a free to Oldham, Lawrie is off to Oldham too for 50k and David Livermore is off to Bohemians for 60k, 310k for 3 players who cost me nothing cant grumble at that.

Championship Playoff Final
Gateshead 2-0 Wolves
Le Coz fires us into the lead hitting a crazy shot from the right hand side that creeps into the net.Wolves push hard for a leveler but on 81 mins their dream is shattered when Cansdell-sherriff scores from a Harley corner to seal the win.Great performance, Avoiding West Ham in the final i was confident if we played well we could take it and we did.

The Premiership dream came true, Some solid signings this season made it all possible.Counago was a delight as was Le Coz and Ali Sar was great when he signed.Vega was injury prone and never actually played 2 full matches in a row for me.

Looking forward to the fight to stay up, My first signings were made last season when i took Koman on a free from Sampdoria and i've also signed Gary Irvine a D/WB R DM MC from Preston for 70k.

Good luck in premier league

 

[noobito]

Thanks Damon i think im gonna need all the luck i can get this season.

My link with Newcastle was terminated due to us both being in the same league now.I checked to see if i could get a new one but due to us being a premiership team they were not interested in us being a feeder club nomore.However a few days later i get a message sayin Real Madrid have announced a link with Gateshead which i cant understand but i aint complaining.

Having made 23 million in sponsors last season and being given 29 million for TV rights this season and selling players for 11 million in total my transfer kitty sat at 30 million, i went 1 million over that budget but belive i have built a strong team once they gel.

Sold:
Jonny Godsmark - Millwall 575k
David Prutton - Millwall 800k
Jake Livermore - Millwall 1 million
Ocsar Diaz - Cadiz 1.2 million
Kevin McDonald - Rangers 5 million
Matty Fryatt - Huddersfield 1.3 million
Adam Cass - Hibernian 50k
Yves Makabu Ma Kalamby - Zenit 1 million

Baught:
Vladimir Koman - Sampdoria Free
Gary Irvine - Preston 70k
Mark Doninger - Newcastle Free
Fabian Delph - Leeds United 5.5 million
Aron gunnarsson - Toronto FC 2 million
Joe Hart - West Ham Free
Mohamed Diame - LOSC Lille Metropole Free
Rui Patrico - Free Transfer
Elano - Wigan 275k
Luca Caldirola - Inter Milan 450k
Nicolas Anelka - Free Transfer
Andre Bikey - Reading 2.5 million
Youssouf Doumbia - Mallorca 1.1 million
David Aureekoetxea - Zaragoza 95k
Douglas Costa - Gremio 8.75 million
Coutinho - Palmerias 10.25 million

Key signings are Delph, Costa, Coutinho and Anelka, Aureekoetxea is a recommendation of Anelka's with the potential to be alot better than Delph which looks promising.

Preseason:

Dorchester 0-4 Gateshead
9 mins in and Koman opens the scoring with a simple tap in.Delph then nets a wonderful long range strike on 25 mins.Anelka is next to score with a simple headed goal on 42 mins.Diame ends the scoring on 72 mins with a placed shot from outside the area.Good result against my little feeder club.

14 mins in and Zarate scores from the spot, Ireland scores on 41 mins.44 and 46 mins and Zarate has completed his hattrick.83 mins in and the destruction is completed compliments of bruna.Just a total demoliton job, Welcome to the premiership Tynesiders haha.

Its not going great so far but given time to gel i think we will stay up this season.

 

[noobito]

The Premiership is not the most welcoming of places to new teams and the Tynesiders are finding out the hard way why this is the best league in the world.

2 new signings in Mariano Pernia and Guy Demel 2 defenders which in all honesty i needed.

Premiership
Gateshead 0-0 Chelsea
The match as a whole was pretty poor and Chelsea offered little in the way of problems.We created a few good chances and good have actually picked up the win but i'll take a draw against Chelsea anyday.

Premiership

We hold out for the first half limiting Newcastle to very few chances.Second half things went down hill with Owen netting twice on 52 and 61 mins both down to my poor defence.69 mins and guthrie made it 3-0.Diame was sent off on 79 mins and Keogh was injured on 90+1 mins.Poor result against my former parent club but still gelling.

2 mins in and rooney scores and its looking bad.Delph however levels it up on 17 mins with a wonderful strike.Delph then scores another great solo effort on 42 mins and we take a suprise lead into half time.Second half sees a different Manchester United though Anderson hits a freekick on 50 mins.Vidic heads home on 76 mins, Rooney hits a great solo goal on 85 mins and Teves completes the route on 88 mins.Just a shocking second half performance after playing so well in the first half.

Premiership
Gateshead 2-5 Arsenal

Sirl scores after on 2 mins.Payet scores a cracker on 38 mins he scores again on 65 mins.Delph pulls one back on 67 mins with a cracking effort.On 84 mins Caldirola puts it past his own keeper which sums up out defence today.Poor result i should be losing 4 against teams like this.

Currently sitting 18th in the league on 11 points, Scored 19, Conceeded 34 goals in only 13 games, Need to sort my defence out and quick, Bikey is a rock but Keogh cant cut it, Need to bring someone in on loan in January maybe try for someone from Real Madrid if i can.

Delph has been my key player so far scoring a impressive 11 goals in 14 games from CM, Adding 4 assists aswell.Seems like the smartest move i made this season.Coutinho is back after a 2 month injury though and Costa is fit again so we have a stronger lineup now atleast.

 

[Rollsie]

Unlucky mate, dont worry you will stay up ! good luck in the transfer window

 

[Jack Fulham]

Doing really well their, but yeah your defence is *****, have a look at Demidov or Tore Reginiussen, rocks at the backs for me in prem but i have no idea where they'd be now

 

[noobito]

Currently 24 games in now, Sitting in 15th on 25 points, 7 won, 4 draws and 13 lost, 36 goals 53 conceeded.My defence is very weak but thankfully my team is scoring more now.Having tried going with 4-2-1-2-1 and still conceeding so many with 4 defenders and 2 DMs i switch to 4-1-1-2-2 and while im still conceeding my team scores more and i have picked up a good few wins and some shock results.

Premiership
Gateshead 0-2 Hull
First half was very close and we had a few chances to score but couldnt take them.Pennant scored for Hull on 34 mins but we were still in with a shot.Fabio ended that hope on 80 mins though.Poor result we need to pick up points against teams like this.

Premiership
Chelsea 3-1 Gateshead
Love scores on 5 and 11 mins to end the game right away.25 mins and we lose Keogh to injury.Philiskirk scores on 84 mins to end the game.Elano is injured on 87 mins but Cansdell-Sherriff scores on 88 mins but its all over.Didnt expect much from this so cant complain.

Premiership
Gateshead 2-0 Newcastle
Ali Sar opens the scoring nodding home a long throw from Gunnarsson on 5 mins.Bikey makes it 2-0 on 25 mins from a Harley corner.Newcastle push for a goal but the match is dead and we pick up a win against our former parent club.

Signed Nacho on loan from Real Madrid who is a CB and Alipio but he didnt have a permit so canceled that loan.Signed Casper Lund a AMR for 1 million from AaB too.

Sold Hart to Villa for 2.8 million, Doninger to Hearts for 1.1 million, Le Coz to Angers SCO for 650k, Anelka went out on free Norwich after sucking hard.

Arsenal offered 22.5 million for Coutinho, I changed it to 22.5 million + 25% of profit from next sale + Arsharvin but Coutinho turned down a contract from Arsenal so a no go but still i only paid 10.5 for him so his price is going up.

Wow you've had some fantastic results agaisnt some top team,s shame about Coutinho deal but I reckon you'll do enough to stay up.

 

[noobito]

Yea some of the results came as a shock but they dominated the games so much my counter attacking worked well even at home because they were always pushing up.Sadly they dont work quite as well at home against the weaker teams so im working on a new tactic for those those games while sticking to counter attacking away and against strong teams at home.

I lost Delph to injury for 2 month though which really hit me hard because he has been a beast in CM, His long shots fly in alot of the time or result in a corner and Elano can swing them in, Bikey was away on international duty but he came back for the Newcastle game and scored again.Once Delph gets back in sure he will be banging them in, He should finish my top scorer unless Coutinho picks up his form rapidly.

In a way i glad Coutinho didnt leave because next season if i stay up i'll look to bring in some new defenders obviously and 2 new strikers.Play Coutinho as AMC he has 17 long shots as does Delph who will play CM just behind him.Just need some poachers then to pounce on the rebounds.

Well thats the plan, I think the poor defence needs sorting first though.Bikey is a beast but i might move him to DM with his 16 long shots if i can find 2 solid CB's.

Manchester United are after my keeper Patrico, Barca want Douglas Costa and Arsenal, Porto and Everton want Coutinho.I might struggle to hold onto some of them sadly.

 

[Jack Fulham]

If you get a decent price, you can reinvest in your much needed area's though, you don't wanne suffer second season syndrome if you stay up

 

[noobito]

Yea, I need to strengthen by backline im eyeing up a couple of regens from Blackburn and Birmingham both look solid and should only cost me 10 million or so for the pair.A couple of new wing backs too if possible which should cost me too much, Stoke have a nice regen who can play all across the back i will try and bring in and Ipswich have a solid AMC i want so i can keep Coutinho upfront.

The season is over anyway and i stayed up, I'll update it tommorrow when im online though.Ipswhich and Stoke were relegated so i have a decent chance of getting both them players, Birmingham are in the Championship so i should get the CB from them too.The Blackburn CB may be harder to get but i'll try my best to sign him.

Depending on the offers i get i should beable to sign all those players with the money i make from TV rights plus my final position fee.I'll sell on deadwood i have in my team and maybe net 6-7 million there.Hopefully i wont need to sell anyone but if the offer is of a price i think fair i'll have to accept.

 

[noobito]

As you can see in my last post i stayed up and actually quite comfortably after finishing the season strong.My counter attacking tactic worked really will but im still struggling to build a tactic for weaker team that suits the kind of players i have right now.

Premiership
Aston Villa 0-1 Gateshead
In what no means will go down as a classic unlike a couple of games between these 2 before the only game of this dire match comes on 72 mins from Costa who fires home on the volley from a Elano cross.We end on a high with a win but in a really poor match.

We finished very strong and alot of that is down to my player of the year and the only Gateshead player to make the premiership team of the season Fabian Delph 33 games, 17 goals, 7 assists, 6 MoM awards with a average rating of 7.43.Coutinho picked up young player of the year too which was a nice bonus.

Dont ask how i managed to get so many players in my reserves i needed to release, I totally forgot about it as i was playing through the game.

 

[noobito]

Before i get off just though i would post screenshots of my 3 regen defenders i picked up, They should strengthen my team alot but only time will tell.They probably aint the best in the world but alot better than i had and i dont have the money to bring in world class players, Not that they would join me if i could.

Green cost me 3.2 million + Elano.Pike set me back 3.4 million after i declaired interest in him he requested a transfer and Birmingham accepted.Park set me back 2.5 million after he was offered to clubs by Stoke when they were relegated.

Will update once im 5 games into the new season along with preseason results.

Good First season mate, hopefully you can bulid & push for Europe
