Why, don't you like them? Or is it because its too easy or something?
 
I've never played a FM game before so I like to start easy ;)
Any suggestions for good signings, I don't really know much of the players...

I also couldn't find too many Man city stories on here so I thought it would be interesting to do.

I started this story whilst I am in November, so screen shots of matches and league tables are currently unavailable, but when I catch the story up with the game I will start using them!
 
I agree with Luke.

Need help buying players? Search - Clear Filter - Do not filter out unrealistic targets - Search - Sort by value. Look at the top ten players.
 
Saying well done would be an understatement when managing Man City.But anyways,good result.
