Ins
Danny Sturridge was transfer listed, he's English, versatile and pacey. Decided to bring The Ox back as I love him as a player, he's also versatile, also I'm sure he will become a great player in the future!! Then the real big one, I needed a good young centre back to partner Inigo Martinez as Pepe and Hooiveld are knocking on a bit. That's when I got an email saying Zouma rejected a new contract, I swooped and got my man!

Outs
Mattia Destro left for £10m, not a bad bit of business as I got him for free!! Others left to gain some match time. Huddersfield are 2nd in the Championship btw so my loanees are helping them out a lot!!

Monthly Review
A superb month. Got to the final of the Capital One Cup again, we have West Brom this time. The Arsenal game was a dream and a well deserved win, we needed a replay against Leeds to get through the FA Cup but the draw was kind and we smashed Chesterfield thanks to a Sterling hat-trick! Other league games against Blackpool and QPR were straightforward enough.
Player of the Month
Raheem Sterling
Fantastic month from the youngster, goals and assists galore.
Table

Table's a bit messed up due to our cup games postponing our league matches. Puts us under pressure to win those games to regain top spot!
Yep, that was in fact, me!
