That's all I got time for tonight, let me know what you think of the signings and the start I've made to the season!
 
Still a very strong team. I think you've made a good management on transfers market.

About the games I guess that your team took it easily in CL but glad you've managed to come back and qualify for the knockout stages. You have a good group of players that can bring some good things to the club, like winning the 3 trophees. But it's a long road, let's go easily lol.

Keep up the good work and hopefully the good results :)

*All in all a very pleasing month for us, delighted to win the Club World Championships for the 3rd time! Its not an easy competition as some may think due to the amount of travelling involved and 2 games in 4 days!

Amazingly we are still unbeaten in the league but had to settle for a draw against Wolves which brought our 100% win record to an end, in the 90th minute no less! Against Coventry we were really poor, missed a host of chances including a penalty! But we were back to winning ways against Newcastle and bright things beckon in the New Year!

---Everton Fullback Sime Vrsaljko has signed for Arsenal in a deal reported to be in the region of £30.5 million---


*Let me begin by wishing Sime well at Arsenal, it was an offer I couldn't turn down, we have plenty of talented players ready to step into the Fullback positions so I hope he won't be missed too much! The fee we've received will keep us in the black for the rest of the season without having to rely on prize money!

We've had another very good month! Very tough opening to January but we came away with maximum points from those games, it was especially sweet to put 6 past Spurs!

We ended the month with 3 draws, but away at Old Trafford and Stamford Bridge I think coming away with a draw is sometimes a victory in itself! For a time I felt our unbeaten run in the league was going to end against Chelsea and we were certainly fortunate against Stoke but the run goes on, the question is, for how long?*

Thanks for following, my tactic is on page 11 of the thread and team instructions are on page 12.
 
Great story mate and some amazing success!
I'm currently Everton second season. How have you managed to get such good prices for your players when selling??

Plus, how has fellaini done elsewhere on your game? Is Isco a good replacement for dlp??

fellaini has done well at united, Isco hasn't done as well as I'd hoped, I'd suggest having him and playing him amc.

I offer my players out at double their value + a few million then see who's interested then come down in price till there's some offers. best time to do this is the first week in June

Delighted with the comeback against Liverpool and the win over City, we also showed true ruthlessness against some of the other teams and our league run goes on! We have a lead in Europe but disappointed to concede that away goal!*

-Disaster hits Everton as Club Captain Jan Kirchhoff ruled out for the rest of the season with a torn hamstring-

*Now this is a huge blow to us! Jan has consistently been one of our best players since we signed him years ago, his influence, experience and talent will be sorely missed at the back. I suspect our unbeaten run will not go on too much longer and we may even struggle in Europe as I don't have many options in defence available to choose from!*

We look odds on the win the league for the third time in a row and We could go the entire league season unbeaten...But I'm not going to count those chickens just yet!!!!*

Great job again! :) Maybe try a different league just to have a new motivation?
 
What I'm thinking is maybe selling off a whole bunch of 1st team stars, get the wage bill right down and then start the season with my talented youngsters and see what happens?
