Bit dissapointed to go out of the league cup and the fa cup is looking a bit shaky but the league is my focus and the first knockout round of the Europa League has drawn us against Fc Sochaux, so that should be ok.​

So, at the start of next season i will be bringing Seydou Doumbia in on a free. Not a bad deal methinks. We may be able to scrape a Europa League place this season but i'm not holding out hope for much else. Man City in the next round of the Europa so thats unlikely to end well.​

I guess we aren't going to retain our title then. Still i didn't really expect much against city. On the plus side we are in 6th so we should be back in Europe next season. The youth intake was as naf asusual with a 2 and a half star player being the best there. Fortunatly i poached a few regens off of a few other teams including the 5 starer in the last post.​

Not a bad comeback considering our start. To be fair it was a pretty poor month but i rested people against Norwich and I'm happy with our league finish. We are not ready for the champions league but we have a chance in the Europa. Atleast we got a trophy, eh? Garry monk has retired and Wenger has retired after winning the league.​
 
I signed Rafinha from Bayern but sadly he dosent have a work permit so he cannot play.

Ademilson and Ibrahimovic

Swansea 6 - 2 Aston Villa
Kjaer, Clyne, Okore, Richards and Ibrahimovic(2)

Man City 1 - 0 Swansea

Swansea 2 - 0 Southampton
Griezmann(2)




Not a bad start for the new guys. Europa group is Standard, Ajax and Apollen L. Unfortunatly we have drawn Man City in the League cup so i can't see that campaign lasting long.​
 
Thank you everyone. Cavani was on the transfer list, I think Napoli did really badly in the league as Hamsik left too (to Man City aswell, the scumbag)

Wow. Not the most difficult month by any means but, wow. The Spurs game was just a fluke as far as i can tell. Although, ofcourse, it could be my amazing signings and finding a tactic that works. (Nah it was a fluke)​
