Set my regen of 20 a target to hit 54 goals in the Eredevisie, its 4 games less a season then the BPL but I'm confident he can beat it :p Would you ever consider selling Bertoli?

Birch Bails Out On Belgium

article-1393809-0C60BF4F00000578-78_306x423.jpg



Sam Birch today announced his resignation from his position as Head Coach of the Belgium National Football team. Following two losses to Czech Republic in World Cup Qualifying and Germany in a friendly he felt his time in charge was over. Birch had this to say:

''I feel like I've achieved all I can with this Belgium side, they're a fantastic bunch of lads and we were unlucky to lose to England last summer in the Euro's. I've feel like I'm just going through the motions in International management and can now fully concentrate on pushing forward with Southampton. I don't think I will venture back into International management unless my Country came calling. Thank you for your time and I would like to wish Belgium all the best in qualifying for next years World Cup.''

As you can see loads of people have left the club. I'll only talk about the big ones though, everyone else just wasn't good enough to push for first team spots or people were loaned out for experience. Coates left as I signed two really good regen CB's and wanted to develop them and Canini. Maclennan left for the same reason. Pintos was sold for over double what I paid for him last summer. Overson was sold to make room for better strikers. Like I said the rest just weren't good enough to help push the club on.

Coming in are 6 good players who are young and have bags of potential. Here's the screenies of them all.

Almeida will play back-up to Luke Shaw. Renzi has been loaned out to Hull for a season to get some experience. Abdouldjamilou(I really hope he doesn't score too often) is a really good centre back and will compete with Ruiz de las Heras for a place at the back with Zouma. Mele will be our back-up striker. Silva(who is dubbed the next Xavi) will compete with Oswald and Denis Walter(the young German who had a good loan spell with Nates last season) for a role in the centre of midfield.

Monthly Review


Great start to the season. Wrapped up a trophy already, beating United easily and good to see Mele get off to goalscoring start to his Saints career. Swept Swansea aside easily as Bertoli showed everyone he's still top dog in League. After that we had Newcastle away and once more another win as Fierro, Beckham and Sterling all scored to show that this team has plenty of players who can find the net!!

I also stripped Lallana of the captaincy, you can't have someone who's not a sure started as your captain. Filippo Bertoli was handed the armband and Marc-Andre ter Stegan will be his deputy.

Na mate, its tough to win the league with City having as much money as they do. I was quite lucky as Southampton gave me plenty of money, I signed great young players in Fierro, Zouma, Niang, De Bruyne ect.

Nice one getting to the Europa League final too :) Europe's tough on FM12

Some brilliant signings, Sam! I reckon you'll be doing the CL and PL double with ease this season.

Cheers mate, kinda looking at this season as a development one bringing through one of the young centre backs to partner Zouma. Champions League is just so tough, last year we knock out the mighty Barca then get out played by Marseilles!!
 
****, my regen finished one short of 53 league goals >.>, with 13 assists. In all competitions its 82 goals. This round goes to you Sam :p.

Monthly Review


Great month until the loss to Arsenal!! Mele has done superb, can't asked for more from the young Italian. The Wolves game went right to the wire but Bertoli got us out of jail at the last. Immense win over City, but think it'll be different at their place. We're just so strong at home, practically unbeatable.

Done everything I could have asked for, bagged a few goals and looked dangerous.

Explained a few pages back pal. Basically most of Europe get their Youth Intake around March time so in April I send my scouts out to Italy, Spain, Germany ect. specifically looking for Under 21's/18's. Snap up the ones I like the look of :)

Regarding Brazil, Argentina ect. I'm not sure when they get their youth intakes so I just send a scout to South America every so often
