Calum Davenport (Free, West Ham) -Soild centre back, but he will not be able to play till 1st January 2011, for reasons we all know.
James Wesoloski (150K, Bristol Rovers) - Sitting in reserve team not needed.
Steve Howard (50K, Charlton) - Was usually on bench. Is not needed by club mainly because of his advancing years.
Wayne Brown (100K, Charlton) - Again was on the bench, he is too old and slow to be in my team. More money towards my budget.
Matt Oakley (100K, Charlton) - Did well last season when he got the chance, but again too old and too slow.
Chris Weale (40K, Fulham) - Was number 2 since Fabre arrived, Chris started moaning that he wasnt getting first team football. So i put him on list and he picked Fulham, where he is guanteed first team football?
Juraj Halenar (350K, Slovan Bratislava) - Striker i tried to sign last season, but wage budget stopped me. Great finisher of the ball, will do well for us i rekon.
Kevin McCann (85K, Hibernian) - Needed a right back, and this young lad is a not bad defender. But will look for someone on loan aswell. Vandam chose not to return this season.
Ricthie De Laet (Free, Man Utd) - Good young centre back, can also cover both full backs.
Vasilis Pliatsikas (1.1M, Schalke) - Biggest signing im gonna make, Greek midfielder 22 year old, he will do a great job for my team.
Brian Smith (100K, Derry City) - 19 year old right back, i fought off lots of intrest in this player. Scout rekons he is regarged as an important player for the team.
I would give screenshots of some players but only works in windowed mode and doesnt show all the stats.

Transfers:

R.Hinds (S/O 74)
M.Fryatt (90)
Man of the match: M.Fryatt 7.9
Leicester got off to the better start, before Marcus Tudgay got sent off for a elbow on defender Jack Hobbs. Leicester dominated all way through and finally broke the deadlock at 73 minutes, where Yann Kermorgant was played in by Fryatt and slotted home. Few moments later Hinds picked up his 2nd yellow card of the game, for arguing with the linesman. Leicester manager Jake Stratton admitted the goal was clearly offside. Matty Fryatt secured the win with a cool finish in the 90th min.
"We played very well from start to finish, i am pleased with the debuts of McCann and Halenar they played really well. Its great to start the season with 3 points and hopefully it will continue."
Leicester cruise into 2nd round
Leicester 3-0 Macclesfield
M.Fryatt (54)
J.Halenar (70)
N.Savinaud (88)
Man of the match: N.Savinaud 8.0
Leicester struggled to break down the Macclesfield defence forcing the Foxes to shoot from long range. They held out till Matty Fryatt cool finish just inside the box, the goal opened up the game and Halenar scored his first goal for the club and Savinaud came up top in a goal mouth scramble to but the polish on the victory.
"Easy game as expected, good all round performance. Unfortunatley we picked up a few injuries, Fryatt will be out for a few weeks with a twisted knee, and Yann will be out for same time period he pulled his hamstring."
Charlton ****** deserved point at death
Leicester 1-1 Charlton
Brian Smith (77)
J.Johansson (88)
Man of the match: Brian Smith 7.9
A really close encounter, both defences were playing really well and couldnt find way through. Until Brian Smith headed home from a corner to give Leicester the lead, but celebrations of a win was cut short when Johansson got a 2nd attempt of his previous shot to give Charlton a well earned point.
"Everyone knows how frustrating late goals are, team just got abit nervy and that might of cost us the win. But none the less Charlton probably deserved the win if im honest."
Goaless draw at The Keepmoat Stadium
Doncaster 0-0 Leicester
Man of the match: K.McCann 7.7
Doncaster defended well to keep the Leicester attack out, there was no clear cut chances by any side.
"Another draw, but i always say any points away from home are good. Doncaster are a good side, and just couldnt break them down."
10 Man Leicester held to another draw
Ipswich 1-1 Leicester
J.Halenar (9)
V.Pliatsiski (S/O 73)
L.Trotter (84)
Man of the match: L.Trotter 7.6
Leicester took an early lead using Sears pace to run through on goal to pull it back for Halenar for a tap in. The Foxes continuted to dominated but couldnt add to their goal tally and was later punished when Pliatsiski was shown a second yellow. No doubt the card changed the game as it was Ipswich who was now dominated and was rewarded through Liam Trotters header late on.
"I would of taken this before the game, but another late goal. We are throwing the points away, i refuse to blame Pliasiski. The team had more than enough chances to seal the game before the sending off."
Will finish month off later or tomorrow.

A goal which he claimed, 3 minutes later Gallagher finished cooly after he was played through by Wellens. It looked like it was gonna be a big score line but either side failed to create any real goal scoring chances.

Well done on making it to Wembley in the first season.
I expect you will be able to easily make it to the premiership this season if you keep going like this.
