Transfer window seen mostly 10 youth players & 3 free squad players arrive while 4 back up players and player from the stat Jose Mauri leave.
Inter Milan, Juventus, Fiorentina & Udinese all spend over £40m. Will they all make the top 4? Udinese & Fiorentina have more work to do than others to pull it off.
Major Manager Changes
Carlo Ancelotti - England
Roberto Martinez - Man Utd
Roberto resigned from the England job after being knocked out by Japan at the Confederations Cup and Ancelotti took over
Targets
Serie A - Winners
Italian Cup - Solid Cup run
Champions League - Semi Finals
Serie A is getting tougher. Inter are almost on par with Juventus and thats a good thing for the league. Bad for my unbeaten run. Semi Finals in the Champions League is the minimum target set by the board. Loosing on penaltys in the final is almost as bad as seeing Real Madrid pick up the title!
Transfer Window
Two or three back up players come in as does a squad of youth players. This should be the last time i mass invest in youth players.

Out
One major sale was
Jose Mauri. With only a year left of his contract Chelsea came calling with a £30m offer. We managed to talk them up to £45m for a player asking to be my first player to break the £200k a week wage. This was never going to happen to a player that had slipped out of my starting 11

Monaco & PSG get the summer spending under way while the only major move was from Germany was champions Leverkusen grabbing Liverpools Rodrigo Bentancur for £26m A handy amount for a player who we know has the potential to be a Golden ball winner. No noticeable moves from the Europes major teams.

This was as dominant win as you could like. Stats show how we've started in better shape than we began.

Few changes to the starting 11. Bonaventura is on the bench for now after Gumus made a stunning end to the season earning his shot at a starting spot. This will also require Sisto moving to the left wing. Apparently he's as good on both wings but only time will tell.
Roberto Firmino is outside the 23 man squad but his versatility will see him used or if not sold!.
