Hi this is my first attempt at a story so please be nice 8-| As you will probably notice I do a lot of business in the transfer markets and like to have my own squad at my disposal. This story will be for Arsenal and I will try to win some trophies as early as possible. Any advice, praise or criticism are welcome. So here it goes!!!
Arsenal sack Wenger!
Arsenal have an announced the sacking of Frenchman Arsene Wenger with immediate effect. Sky Sports understands that the board are impatient for success and now wanted a manager who could take them forward. Arsenal Football Club have also stated that they will announce their new manager in the near future
Goodman announced Arsenal boss
Today Arsenal football club have announced that rookie manager Tom Goodman will take over the club. Arsenal Chairman Peter Hill-Wood announced Goodman has signed a two year contract and his main aim will be to lift some silverware in these 2 seasons. Goodman told Sky Sports News "I am delighted to be here! This is my chance to show what I can do to the world". Our sources tell us that Goodman has received a transfer budget of around £50million and has the complete backing of the board to bring in some fresh talent.
Summer Signings
First in the door were freebies Joe Cole and Michael Ballack after being released by Chelsea. These two players will bring strength and depth to the midfield with added experience and class.
Antonio Cassano was my first major summer signing. I had to pay £15m plus Nicklas Bentdner but the Italian has an eye for goal and a great technical ability.
I then brought in Jorge Andrade, Martin Petrov and Fabio Aurelio on free transfers. With a tough champions league campaign to come I thought these players would help increase the size of the squad.
Vincent Enyeama and Maxwell followed with the Nigerian costing just £220k. The Brazilian left back was brought in on a loan deal with a future fee agreed with Barcelona.
Arsenal bring in Liverpool Skipper
Tom Goodman has opened his cheque book to sign Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard for a massive fee of £75million. It is believed Liverpool would not accept a penny under this amount. Questions have already been asked by the Arsenal fans who although admit Gerrard is a massive coup for the club, believe £75million is too high for a player of his age.
Nicholas Burdisso, Gojko Kacar and Oguchi Onyewu followed Gerrard in to add ability to the defence.
Obviously many players had to leave the club due to the massive spending on new players. Out the door went :
Tomas Rosicky
Theo Walcott
Johan Djourou
William Gallas
Lukasz Fabianski
Nicklas Bendtner
Vito Mannone
Abou Diaby
Denilson
Emmanuel Eboue
Jay Simpson
A pretty good pre-season. Although I didn't play any tough teams we scored many goals which gives me confidence going into the season.
Update Soon

Attendance from St. James Park: 50, 751
A pretty good start. We dominated this match and fully deserved the win. We had a goal disallowed and had many opportunities but couldn't put them away.
