Ins
So most of my deals were concluded before and I'd already told you about them. I was actually working away on a deal for Godfrey Mohammed during December, Peterborough were being really stubborn and I didn't want to pay too much for the young lad but he does have incredible potential. Anyway here's a screenie of the new Saint on the block.

I also came really close to signing an incredible regen from Brazil, but he couldn't get a work permit :/. After that incident I went to the board and asked for a feeder club to send players to get work permits. Here's a screenie of that convo and the regen(check his name
)

I also snapped up two youngsters on free's, they will be joining in the summer. Neither is that exciting and will most likely be sold for profit, still not bad players. Here they are

Rabello was actually released from his contract at Sevilla!! I was straight on that, kids got decent potential.
Outs
No-one too important left, maybe Sanogo on loan to Middlesborough was the biggest departure but he wasn't getting enough game time plus he wasn't playing too well, United actually bid £1.5m for him but I rejected it. Also bids for Taiwo and Lallana were rejected, it unsettled them but I had a positive chat with them both and they're now happy again. Kelvin Davies left on a free, he was taking up my wage bill and Jos Hooiveld left on loan with a view of a permanent move. Juve were also snooping around Ocampos and bid £1.5m, I swiftly told them were to go.

Monthly Review
I think only 3 words can sum up that month.... Fierro. Is. AWESOME!!! What a player, dug us out of so many holes this month. The late equaliser against Arsenal, coming off the bench to ****** a win against Swansea. His superb double against Fulham to send us through to the COC Final, we have Everton in the final as they beat Man City 2-1 on Aggregate.
Played Fulham so many times this month it was mad, we have QPR in the fourth round of the FA Cup AGAIN, hopefully we can get some revenge after they knocked us out last year. Oh just wanted to show you lads just how young my squad is, average age of 20!!! Haha I swear I'm not Wenger, or a Paedo.

Player of the Month
Carlos Fierro
Awesome this month. 6 goals, and in really big games too. There's been debates all year about who's better on FM12. Niang or Fierro but my favourite is Fierro hands down, much cheaper and turns out better I've found. Still both great players and Niang's been very good this month too.

So Villa have caught us up after a few slip ups this month. Still I want to secure 6th, even though I have my eyes firmly set on qualifying through the COC final against Everton. I WILL win my first trophy with The Saints on 3rd of March!!!
