So to bring you all up to date with my season so far, i will show transfers, my squad, injuries and results etc.
So before i started with tactics, training and obviously pre season i started by analyzing the squad i had infront of me and its safe to say i was impressed, quality young players with talent that could see them come up the leagues with me, mixed with bags of experience and a couple of loan signings. I still felt like i needed to strengthen a few areas, i was pleased with the outcome didn't really need to offload many players and a couple of loan players, free agents and one £30,000 transfer later I was ready to start building my squad that was going to take me up to league 1.

So Calvet was my first signing, his stats suggested he was going to be a strong aggressive defender which is exactly what i need to bolster my defence to fight off the tough challenge of League 2, and considering it was for a cool £0 I was delighted with this great signing.
So next are three loan signings.

So then came Joe Rothwell, United became a parent club and he was one of the players they were offering and it was a no brainer at first glance i knew he had the ability to be a great player for me in the Centre of my midfield, a young player with great passing and technical abilities, something you'd come to expect considering hes been brought up by United.

Then came Jack Dunn, a young player with bags of potential on the books with Liverpool FC.
he has been a key player in my squad as you can see hes flexible in a couple of positions which really is a bonus for me and my squad. great player and would recommend to anyone.

Then came this beast, as a short stay from Jerome sinclair came to end as i was unhappy with his pre season and then getting a bad injury two games in i was quick to terminate his loan contract, which is where i came across this gem, on the books with Derby county a 20 year old spanish pacey Striker/Winger with a keen eye for goal and bags of potential. I didnt have to think twice about signing him on loan for the season.

Then came the £30k signing from Hume city in Australia, he was recommended one of my scouts and i was quick to sign him up and put him straight into my first team. very confident with his abilities as a GK.
My Squad

As of now this is my main starting 11 and formation, quick attacking football, great possession and players being able to fill in different positions when needed, its a fairly young and talented squad, apart from the odd couple, Tubbs being one of them at the age of 31 hes still banging in the goals. with Stevens having premier league experience with Aston Villa and Webster a young talented CB with bags of potential who I'm pretty sure will be in my squad as we rise through the leagues. Burgess as the experience of league 1 so also another player that should be with me for the next couple of seasons. Freeman and mcnulty both players who were already on loan at the club, both great players mcnulty is often on the scoresheet and freeman is a savage FB/WB with a fair few assists and a couple of goals to his name will be hoping to sign him in the near future.
On to the bench and Injured players

a very strong Bench with young players aswell as bags of experience giving me plenty of options when i need to switch things up. Kyle bennett who is a Key player in my Squad currently out with a Dislocated shoulder for 3 months
so there we have it a quick but in depth analysis of my squad so far. I will continue over the next couple of days the first half of my season.
Hope its enjoyable so far and any constructive criticism would be nice.
UP THE POMPEY!
