Start of SEASON II
Loh has been offered a new contract 165,000 per week by the board room as he has been performing above expectations. I told the board room that this season would be even better! We are gonna bring more glory to Liverpool FC, this season we are aiming for EPL, League Cup and ECC!
Board room having total confidence in me thus rewarding me for 88m of transfer budget. Wow, in my mind there were big names swirling around, Dzeko, Mata, Silva, Jack Rodwell and so many more. But still, I have to look at which position required an upgrade or backup so as to bring the best out of Liverpool!
Before the start of 2nd season, i have agreed agree to terms with Antunes, Nadja and one more guy(couldnt remember). After giving long thoughts, I had in mind who to sell, who to get. There was a huge mistake that i made, I actually have 4LB after signing the necessary players! I left with no choice but sell Insua =( Luckily Joe Mattock is a good replacement, similar capability, probably more potential and more importantly, English!
Loh decided to improve his backline first before anything as he wants his team to concede even lesser goals than previous season. In EPL last season, Liverpool was ranked 2 conceding least goals while Chelsea is number one. Liverpool with 36goals conceded while Chelsea 29goals.
Loh, "We want to instill fear to every single team that play against us, a defence that is hard to break with insane attack force." "Building a fortress at home, lets not concede more than 10goals at home this season! Sons, you have my trust, we can do it!"
After hearing Loh's talk, it is expect that Liverpool will be doing very well and a force to be reckon.
Transfers made:
Antunes
At 400k, with his stats it proves to be a steal! Too bad, i had Garrido and Mattock due to abit of my mistakes. Antunes will be on loan to Burnley. He is a decent backup for LB.
Javier Garrido
Another quality backup for LB. Hope he will perform the job well done when required. Will have a fair share of appearance with Joe Mattock.
Joe Mattock
Quality replacement for Insua, its a plus that he is a English! Definitely will be a leading star in LB.
Pablo Barrientos(Regen)
He is a insane regen to be honest! What a regen! You got to look at his stats! Play lots of positions! CB, DM, RM, RB! Versitlity player, my favourite =x He is truly an awesome wonderkid and looks to be one of the best wonderkid around the world. Thank goodness the appeal is successful =x
Jack Rodwell
This kid has real talent in real life too. Look at his stats, at 19 it was already a decent backup for DM. Very excited about his development in 1-2season's time! Already have 3 England caps. He will be vital for my diamond formation in the future. Which will be explain later =)
Radja Nainggolan
Found him through scout, looks awesome! can play AM RLC and he is better, cheaper and younger than Benayoun. That is the reason why i sell Benayoun.
Marc Moritz (Regen)
Just another youngster that i bought for 16k lol. Hopefully he will turn out great!
Guilherme
One of the talented youngsters in FM09, can play either foot looking good to be my future AMC =)
Brand Guillaume (Regen)
Goalkeeper that i signed on free transfer, 19yrs old was actually a backup for reina as I thought of selling Diego. In the end i didnt =x
Alphonse Areola
Another goally that looks good
Edin Dzeko
My scout strongly recommend this.. I also find it hard to resist after seeing Dzeko stats.
Prolific scorer! Dzeko and Torres, i wonder how deadly can they be.
Martin Zapata
Ah ****! Missed!! He choose to go to ROMA!! He could have been another great addition to my squad, look at his awesome stats
Transfer Overall:
Could have gotten the Zapata but overall i thought i did a decent improve in squad's depth as well as quality, along with 2 English sons =)
