On my Swindon save I'm currently top and still in the FA Cup and JPT in January.
Below is a list of my transfer dealings:
OUT:
Alberto Comazzi (Released)
Jonathan Smith (Released)
Joe Devera (Released)
Mark Scott (Released)
Will Evans (Released)
Alessandro Cibochhi (Released)
Jordan Pavett (Released)
Ibrahim Atiku (Released)
Mattia Lanzano (Released)
IN:
James Beattie ST (Free Transfer)
Pablo Couango ST (Free Transfer)
Ryan Dickinson LB (Season Long Loan From Southampton)
Marcel Seip CB (Free Transfer)
Kristian Timar CB (Free Transfer)
Stuart Nelson GK (110K from Notts County)
I seriously reccomend those players above.
Nelson is a very good goalkeeper for Leagues 2 and 1 and has only conceded 13 goals in all competitions for me so far.
Timar and Seip are probably the two best centrebacks in the league. Timar is League 1 level whilst Seip can play at Championship level.
Dickson has been a revelation at left back for me whilst Callum Kennedy is also decent in that position.
James Beattie has scored 27 goals in all conpetitions by the end of January for me whilst Couango has got 16.
I have also recently released Alan Connell, Etienne Esajas, Oliver Risser and De Vita as they simply were not up to scratch for my team.
As I result I brought in:
Chris Hackett RB/ARM (On loan until end of season from Millwall)
Andrea Orlandi (On loan until end of season from Swansea)
Ben Davis (On loan from Derby until end of season)
Again, these three really are too good for league two.
I have also just had a bid accepted for Nicky Bailey from Middlesborough on a loan deal until the end of the season.
I did have Dean Leacock for three months from Derby, a very good centreback who scored five goals in 16 appereances for me with an average rating of 8:15 before Derby called him back.
I spent 110k and put the rest In my wages as I think loans and free transfers are the way forward in league two.
Its your career so this is just to give u an idea. Good luck and keep me updated on your career as the mighty Swindon Town!

helo mate thanks for that. i did think about Beattie but i decided against him. wish i did now. lol i got Lee Novak (75K), Lee Trundle (15K), miguel on loan from arsenal, cunningham on loan from man city, Fletcher as player/*** manager (50K) and captain, Andy Dorman on loan from Crystal Palace.. released quite a few also..... now scouting Tamar and Nelson as u suggested, but nelson is playing week in week out so i doubt il get him. so far 3 league games played and all won. beat Brighton in lLeague cup.... that is all for now.

How are you getting on with Novak and Trundle?
If you ever interested in getting bailey or Orlandi, make sure you constantly praise them in public. On my game they were not being played by their clubs so I praised them and they were both willing to drop down to league two when I bid for them in january

I play him just behind the two strikers as a advanced Playmaker with the attacking option. He's got 9 goals and 16 assists so far.
Simon ferry plays behind him also as an advanced playmaker but he supports the play, that partnership works a treat.
How is Gabilondo getting on on yours?

Not that i can rememeber. The club is in alot of debt so in the second season i stuck with my team and relied on loaned players. In the third season i spent all the transfer budget of 275K and brought in loads of free transfers which i kind of regret.
Im not expecting to challange for promotion for another few years. The club has to much debt to allow for a big enough transfer budget to challanged in the championship. As you can see i only have 2 players on loan currently this is so i use my youth players that are expected to become good players in the future. My team has alot of potential so hopefully all my players can grow within the next few seasons.

Quick update!!!!!!!!!!!

23 Games in managed to move upto 1st.
Not really sure i want to be gaining promotion this season tho as i fear a season in the champtionship will just lead to relagation.
What are your thoughts??

I signed a 17 yr old keeper from Reading on loan and also bought in Dean Bouzanis as bu.
I got David Elebert in CB and Michael Liddle from Sunderland on loan.
In middle I got Simon Mensing from Hamilton and someone from Ipswich on loan.
At front Kerrouche has been a revelation, 32 goals on 1st January. Don't know where to play Magera though, he's not doing brilliantly, and Benson isn't doing that well.
Also, quick tip, if you need to get rid of someone, don't play him, talk to him so his morale goes down and he wants to leave and mutually terminate his contract for 2-4k

Yeah not bad, top coming into January, Beattie has just passed the 30 goal mark in all competitions and Couango is coming up to 25 goals in all competitions.
Ben Davis and Chris Hackett haven't impressed me so far but they have until the end of the season to change my mind, on the other hand Orlandi has been rapid.
I missed out on Bailey as time ran out while Leon Clarke is sat rotting in the reserves cause no team wants him.
I am 2-0 up going into the second leg away at MK Dons in the area final of the JPT and I have either Cardiff or Man U at home in the 5th round of the FA Cup

I was going to get rid of kerroche about November time but Beattie got injured and he scored 10 goals in seven games so I decided to keep him.
Got rid of Connell though.

Orlandi from Swansea on loan isn't a bad shout. On my save he wasnt playing so I constantly praised him and he eventually joined.
I also signed Chris Hackett and Ben Davis on loan from Millwall and derby respectively. Hackett is doing okay but Davis is doing poor however it is still early days.
I was just looking for loans in league two as the club's finances Is insecure, I'm also hoping to get a fair budget to spend for league one as i want to see if I can get successive promotions.
