Liam Pinder
and Kai Rooney both move from Hearts to Manchester City, for fees of £3.3m and £3.2m Respectively.
Dale Faulkner wins the Best Player of the European U19 Championships, while Liam Pinder wins Golden Boot. Both are named in the dream team.
 
****, my dreams to fly under the English radar and become a world beater for Canada look to be over! :(
 
OK guys, don't have as much time on FM now so I have given Faulky half of the control, we will be doing alternating seasons! Faulky is in charge at the moment.
 
Feb. 2014 Update.

Wanted to let Ampofo get to Mainz before I posted the update. So here we are:
Derrick Ampofo:
View attachment 331729

Just got to his club, been at training 5 days. The press mentioned that the club was happy to finally have him join. Let's hope he starts playing!

Rob Cadle:
View attachment 331730
Rob puts it up for his national side but is whimpering a bit in the SPL playing 3 games and conceeding 6, however he was credited with one clean sheet. So two bad games one good one? Still looks promising for the young keeper.

Sam Donovan:
View attachment 331731
Sam really hasn't been impressive for Millwall and due to his poor form has found himself locked out of the squad while they hope he develops in the reserves.
Sheku Dos Santos:
View attachment 331732
Nothing really coming down the line for Sheku as he appears to be locked into the Everton youth system.

Dale Faulkner:
View attachment 331733
Dale signed a new contract at Rangers and it looks like the three musketeers are going to stay there for a while longer absolutely dominating the competition.

Massimo Gasperoni:
View attachment 331734
Massimo has really found it hard to break into the squad and hasn't made any appearances for the first team, he has made a few non competitive matches and has looked good. He has already broken into the National team and has found the net for them which is always a good sign. Has been likened to
Stefan Kießling by the media.

Kieran Laing:
View attachment 331735
Kieran has been on good form for Gillingham although his goal scoring touch has taken a bit of a slump he will need to recover from that injury and start finding the net if he hopes to help Gillingham fight for safety.

Dan Newton:
View attachment 331736
Finally signed a new contract with Rangers after rejecting two offers. Has been blighted with injuries this season. Even with those injuries Dan has put in some very promising displays.

Pierre Dupont:
View attachment 331737
Just signed a contract to take him to Palmero. Looks to be a good move for him as he'll get the rest of the season to play it out at US C-L

Liam Pinder:
View attachment 331738
After impressing at the u19 tournament he signed a big deal to move to Man City. Only to make one appearance and then tear his hamstring. Hopefully you don't rot too much in the reserve team. Pinder has also shaken that terrible media likeness to Owen - Although with that injury you might as well stay with that link!

Max Power:
View attachment 331739
The mighty midget is in good form at Rangers and rounds off the three musketeers there. He is the only one of the three to sign a new contract. But he still has a year remaining unlike the other two who's contracts were about to expire in the summer.

Ashkay Rao:
View attachment 331740
Ashkay shows us that it isn't all roses at Hull as he is upset there and wants to leave. Looks like he'll have to stay put for the remainder of the season though as Hull were unwilling to part with young Centre Back. Although he is the only player exposed to the top flight at the moment.

Kai Rooney:
View attachment 331741
City must have been excited to bring their own Rooney in. Yet to make an appearance for the first team he has been impressive for the youth set up.



As Kezza said we shall be alternating the task as it is more fair to those participating! If you want to see something different let either of us know.

I prefer the term 'Mini Messi'. Firing all cylinders in SD2 as well, 3rd top scorer!
 
update: Feb 2015.

Derrick Ampofo:
View attachment 332071View attachment 332082
Mainz are struggling in the league; and it appears the Derrick isn't getting any real chance to crack the first team a few substitution appearances but other than that he's been on the bench - Perhaps he'll follow some of the fellow BAP's and head out on loan next season.

Rob Cadle:
View attachment 332072
Cable traded in the wonderful weather in Scotland for Hull City. Unfortunately they lost their bid to stay in the PL last season so he'll be back stopping a championship side this year. Hull are performing very well and it is clear to see that Cadle is shining. Cable has also formed a friendship with Noel Blake the current u19 England Manager.
Massimo Gasperoni:
View attachment 332076
After spending a long term on the bench last season Gasper is on loan at Bochum; still not seeing much of the field in the German second division. Still playing with the full international powerhouse of San Marino he has taken a likening to their Manager Giampaolo Mazza.
Sam Donovan:
View attachment 332073View attachment 332086
Donovan has found starts hard to come by this season; perhaps the manager thinks that the step to the championship was a bit too much for him. He's still developing well and has formed a friendship with teammate Nadjim Abdou from Comoros.
Sheku Dos Santos:
View attachment 332074View attachment 332084
Proving himself at the Everton youth team earned him a loan spell at Sheff United. He's taken the exposure and is really flying. Who knows he might stay at Sheff united as they look poised to win promotion. Stuart Pierce finds himself in Sheku's good books as he has had a few call ups to the u21 squad.
Dale Faulkner:
View attachment 332075View attachment 332085
Not looking quite as dominant in the Scottish first division perhaps the skill level is starting to ramp up and these young stars are having trouble keeping up. Rangers appear happy and are offering Faulkner another contract in the hopes that he'll stay beyond this season. Again, Rangers have easily won the division and are already looking forward to playing in the SPL next season.
Kieran Laing:
View attachment 332077
No injuries hampering Laing this season as he looks to beat his career best goal tally of 15 in a season. He has already seen the field 30 times this season and has bagged himself 11. He is going to have to find the net quite a bit more if he wants to help his team battle relegation for a second season.
Dan Newton:

View attachment 332078
Injuries have been hurting Newton this season as he has seen half as many matches as Faulkner and a handful less than Power. Newton did score in the Scottish Cup final last season and looks to have only found the net once since then. Let's hope he shakes off these injuries and really begins his development. Newton looks to be considering a contract from Rangers as well - they must be building for their SPL campaign.
Pierre Dupont:
View attachment 332079View attachment 332087
After completing his signing with Palmero Dupont immediately finds himself leaving for his home country for yet another season in the lower french leagues. He appears to be finding it tough to find his groove and repeat performances.
Ashkay Rao:
View attachment 332080View attachment 332083
Rao's tone has changed - perhaps because Hull are winning again. He seems to be a consistant player for them and looks to be enjoying playing in front of Cadle. Him and Charlie Austin have a good battle in training and have formed a nice little friendship.
Kai Rooney:
View attachment 332081View attachment 332088
Rooney finds himself on loan; but by contrasting his development to Pinder's it looks to be a great choice. Lots of playing time in the Championship and he is managing to find the net for promotion battling Wolves.

Power is solidifying himself as a goal scorer climbing up the charts in the first division. He also scored in the Scottish cup final against Dundee in the 5-0 drubbing. He's a bit of a suck up to the Manager as he is friends with Mr. Strachan. He makes his first appearance for the Full international squad and bags himself a debut goal.

Pinder is finding his chances limited at City. He has found the pitch on two occasions scoring at that putting his return rate at 50% which for an 18 year old that is impressive.

September 2015 update

Derrick Ampofo
View attachment 332292View attachment 332293

Only played 1 game for Mainz last season, but following their relegation he may get more of a chance in the first team.

Rob Cadle
View attachment 332298View attachment 332299
Was mystified as to why Motherwell played Rob so little, particularly after his very promising debut season at Hull. Made a flying start this season too!

Sam Donovan
View attachment 332300View attachment 332301

Unfortunately, Sam has had a torrid time at Millwall. May need to move to help his development get back on track.

Sheku Dos Santos
View attachment 332302View attachment 332303

Had a "Meh" loan spell at Sheffield United, scored a few goals. No loan move so far this season so he will be backup, but he scored in the cup and this will please the manager.

Dale Faulkner
View attachment 332304View attachment 332305

Was always going to be tougher in the SPL after 3 very easy seasons for Dale. Average start but a long way to go.

Massimo Gasperoni
View attachment 332306View attachment 332307

Thought it was an odd loan signing by Bremen considering Massimo's lack of apps for Bochum last season, but he has made an immediate impact.

Kieran Laing
View attachment 332308View attachment 332309

Following Gillingham's relegation, Laing has expressed a desire to leave the club. Can't see him lasting mch longer.

Dan Newton
View attachment 332310View attachment 332311

Like Dale, Dan has found things much tougher in the SPL. Got 1 assist in the cup but that's about it so far.

Pierre Dupont
View attachment 332312View attachment 332313

Pierre is set to stay in France for another season after going to Nice on loan. Not the highest average rating but got a goal.

Liam Pinder
View attachment 332314View attachment 332315

Not done anything in City's first team but he has done well in the non competitive matches.

Max Power
View attachment 332316View attachment 332317

Mini Messi hasn't quite had the Messi-eqse start to the season. Scored in the league and a hat trick in the Cup vs Dumbarton, but as a whole the Rangers team needs to do better.

Ashkay Rao
View attachment 332318View attachment 332320
Didn't have a great season last time out, but was named in the European U19 Championship dream team in the summer and has made a solid start this season. Also got his first senior goal.

Kai Rooney
View attachment 332321View attachment 332322
After a disappointing loan spell at Wolves, Kai has moved to Rangers' old firm rivals Celtic on loan. Made a good start, already trebled his assist tally from last season.
 
Knew the SPL would be tough - Hopefully they adjust quickly and start playing. What is the SPL league looking like?

From that latest update, Rangers had 8 points after 6 games, Celtic had 10 points- Hibs had 18 :P
 
1 start - 8.10 rating... Not played again -___-

I hope now going down a division is going at least give me game time...
 
Haha, noticed in one of the SS's that you see a steam message from a friend of mine :P

Anyway, I'll be posting an End of season update later tonight and then I will hand back to Faulky. Is there anything we can do better guys?

Make sure my player signs for Man United :P
 
Wow 14 Clean sheets in a relegation season is impressive :) Hopefully Hull we help me develop into the next Buffon!
