Squad Report

As you can see, a squad full of potential, however one that definitely stands out, Alessio Cerci, a key man this season, however offers will come flooding in for him, if he gives good money, may be worth re investing.

Well thats a fairly tough Europa group, MUST win games at home really, especially against Estoril!

Transfer Update
View attachment 363299
A very successful window in my opinion, only 800k spent and there's plenty of activity, the biggest one being Victor Valdes, for only 35k per week, a top quality goalkeeper and a statement of intent for the club.

Still 4.5million to be spent for January.

If no one is interested, may just stop this now

how did you manage to get Valdes so cheaply (wage wise)?

A Massively disappointing month, started off great, 5-1!

Big work to be done, and must get results away from home now in the EL, but in the league, points are points.

Player of the month

Alessio Cerci - 4 Goals, 4 Assists, 1 PoM

Addons and clauses work wonders, such as sell on fee's etc
