[1jakebrown]

just finished 1st season with sunderland finishing 5th. i brought in diame, kyle naughton and honda.

have a very small squad and need to strengthen through out if im going to challenge in europa league and PL plus domestic cups next season.

please tell me your best players to buy i have ?45M to spend.

FB R: de sciglio 23M ---BEAST!

Defenders: Balanta (around 10M), Umtiti 12M, also Doria. ALL BEAST!

Middlefielder: Bertolacci, Obiang, Albink Ekdal (around 10M i Think), Will hughes,...

AMR (striker): Matej Vydra, I use him AMR support/attack, great player and score a lot of gol. 4,3M (i think), Deulofeu 20M
AML: Bernard 22M, Andre Ayew 9M he could also play as BWM or advanced playmaker

All theese player (up) were tested and are best! You could sell them more than you paid

Strikers: there are many...Ferreyra 20M, Barbosa, Zivkovic, Mitrovic (beast!)...

How did you get ?45m?

In my second season think i only had around ?5/6m and i finished 3rd in my first season!

Jeronimo Rulli- Argentine GK
Santiago Vergini- Argentine CB
Eric Dier- English CB
Guido Pizarro- Argentine CM
Hector Canteros- Argentine CM

Some good, cheap players there. Eric Dier should have a buyout clasue of around ?3mil, and I had no problem with any work permits for the others. I can't recommend any strikers as Fletcher was banging them in for me in my second season. I have my database on large so I'm not sure if you'll be able to find them, but I've never seen those names other than Dier posted on here.

As much as it hurts me to help Sunderland, I'll try.

For one thing, check Angel Correa. He'll be 19 years old, from San Lorenzo in Argentina. -9, one for the future.

Next up, with those changes you will need a new striker. Check the strikers at Manchester City, see if any are transfer listed. If they are, try for them on both loan or actual transfer, if their not you'll have to look elsewhere. A good target would be Aleksander Mitrovic, but for stopgap options, try and get Lukaku or Benteke.

Finally, defense. Balanta. If he's away from River, you're out of luck, because he's the best defender in the game. If he's not available, go for Doria, who is an adequate replacement, but Balanta should be your first target.

As for goalkeeper, try and get Bernd Leno. The other top ones probably won't go to a team not in the Champions League.

thanks all!! very helpful.

forgot to mention, also brought in Fraser Forster who has been amazing, shot stopping is quality!

The board want me to bring in high profile names but I have also added that I want to bring youth teams in to the team, a team of wonderkids is the aim!

I will update later after the transfer season and let you know how i go
