SaintMotbot's Platinum League Chairman Game.

Ah Dang.. This is my first time playing a chairman game.. So apologies if I messed up by announcing too early.. :'(

No worries. But when you make bids for foreign players, you are not guaranteed to get them. Some other club may have bid for the same player and stolen him from you!

The fourth round draw could not have been much harder for us when we were drawn against league leaders Juventus. An absolute cracker of a tie took place as both teams fought hard for a 3-3 draw. Juventus probably the happier of the two teams with three away goals to their advantage.

BAYERN MUNICH'S SQUAD OVERHAUL!
Following our abysmal start to the season, Ms. Hopkins has decided to have a shake up of the playing staff to help Mr. Pellegrini achieve our modified goals for the season.

OUTS
View attachment 167484
Manuel Neuer -> Manchester ****** (£35m + Joe Hart)
Obviously the move that's caused a rather large stir in world football, but he has been ****** this season so when we received the offer of this amount plus a world class goalkeeper for him it was a no brainer.


View attachment 167483
Thiago Alcantara -> Arsenal (£27.5m)
Probably the least notable of the 3 outs, Thiago wasn't getting enough game time due to the U23 players rule meaning that Brozovic was taking his place in the majority of games so we moved him on for a good amount.


View attachment 167482
Philipp Lahm -> PSG (£21.5m)
Captain. Leader. Legend. ****.
In all honesty, I'm the most sad about this, but he hasn't been up to the level that this great club needs so he had to go!

INS
View attachment 167481
Joe Hart <- Man ****** (P/Ex)
England's Number 1 becomes Bayern's Number 1! A definite upgrade on Neuer!

View attachment 167480
Hernanes <- Juventus (£8m)
With the switch to 4-2-3-1 for Pellegrini, we needed a backup CAM. Hernanes is that guy. And tbh, I quite like him as a player IRL.

View attachment 167479
Stephan Liechsteiner <- Juventus (£20m)
In my opinion, one of best RB's in the game currently - at the very least one of the most hard-working! He should be able to keep up with the game more than Lahm could, and is probably better at attacking!


View attachment 167477
Tin Jedvaj <- Leverkusen (£21.5m)
Continuing our policy of stealing the best players at German clubs, we take the talented Croat away from Leverkusen. Fits the U23 rule, and with the potential to be a top class CB or RB in the future.

View attachment 167476
Alessandro Florenzi <- Roma (£39.5m)
Another player who I'm a big fan of IRL - basically a more talented James Milner! Can play RB, RW, CM or CAM - Will let Pellegrini choose where to play him.


View attachment 167475
Baldé Keita <- Lazio (£18.5m)
An absolute steal! The picture says it all really, he can become incredible - and I have saves on FM which can back that up! Him, Coman and Rodriguez mean we have the left flank sorted for the next 10 years or so!


Now, let's march back up that table to where we belong!
EDIT: Ok, maybe not straight away :p

Calleri has already scored 3 goals in 5 matches! That's brilliant! If only we could have won against Leverkusen, we could have been in the Top 5! Well 8 points from relegation and 10 points from Top shows how tight the league is and every match counts! A detailed up date will be up soon :)
 
Aah.. We are the Aston Villa of this league... Relegation not very far away for Inter.
 
JANUARY UPDATE:

A hard fought victory over my old club as new signing Caleri makes impact on the first day and grabs a brace. The pair of Depay and Caleri troubled the experienced backline of Milan but it was probably the injury to Pirlo which switched the match in our favor. Ibrahimovic was his magnificent self but our attacking 4 of Willian, Mata, Caleri and Depay were all brilliant! A good start to the month!

Another match and another hard fought win in the Platinum League. I haven’t heard this in a while but MANCHESTER UNITED have a comeback win. When I saw the Barbosa goal I wasn’t very hopeful as we haven’t won many matches coming back under Van Gaal but he fired the players up as Depay and Young got the goals for us. Young hasn’t been first choice but he has been very good off the bench and it is pleasing to see the fighting spirit, in him and in the entire team! GGMU!

17/01/2016

A rear guard effort this time around as a defense leads by Mertesacker holds on to a clean sheet while Caleri grabs the decisive goal. It was good to see a United defense battling out with the strikers with hunger and passion. Per has amazing positional sense and he displayed it in the match, he even played few beautiful balls forwards as he justifies his switch to Manchester.

24/01/2016

View attachment 167436

A cagey affair was settled by midfielders as Cuadrado and Blind strike to share the spoils between the former Premier League Rivals. Chelsea has been flying this season while United have slowly established themselves. Blind who was moved to midfield following the signing Mertesacker showed good vision and intent to go forward and was rewarded with a goal. A decent point at the Bridge but I want more from the Boys. We aren’t far from the top and we can still give the top boys some jitters.

Poor finishing and some questionable selections let us down today as we end a largely positive month on a sour note. Isco and Martinez score against us again and they have been truly wonderful for them. Some smart pickings by the chairman Lewie who must be very proud of his team performing so well. That said, leaving Caleri out was baffling and while Rooney did score the goal, he also slowed down our team moves. I will be asking Van Gaal some questions, he is doing well but he must not tinker much. Don’t fix things which are broken!

MONTH OVERVIEW:

View attachment 167434
10 out of a possible 15 is a good outcome in a Super League but at Manchester we always expect more. We slacked off at the end of the month and need to keep concentration up. The next month will be tricky with Barcelona, Dortmund, Inter and the Manchester Derby. February has always been our best month and I hope It proves to be true this time around as well!

Inter Transfers and January Updates

Transfers

Steven Gerrard

View attachment 1034299

Inter went ahead and snapped up Steven Gerrard from LA Galaxy to boost their midfield. It is hoped that he can inspire this Inter squad to move out of relegation.

Inter also bolstered the goalkeeping area by signing Miguel Moya from Valencia. Andrea Barzagli arrived from Juventus to provide cover at the back.




January Results

Barcelona 3 - 0 Inter


Hattrick by Messi. We could not do anything.


Inter 1 - 4 Dortmund

Loss at home. Bad defending from us and Dortmund took home all the points. Mancini needs to turn this around soon or else he might be out of job.


Inter 1 - 1 Man City

A point finally. Lucas Moura scores to give a valuable point to Inter. But we need some wins on the board as other strugglers are pulling away from us slowly.



Real Madrid 1 - 1 Inter

Another point won at Bernebau. It was an even game surprisingly and a draw was a fair result. If we do not get a point in the next game then it sure time for Mancini to go. Wins are just not coming by.


Arsenal 3 - 1 Inter

Another loss. Icardi scored again but defence needs to step up. We just cannot keep clean sheets right now.
 
I might do February this evening if people want me to just get on with it :)
