Hey

I have decided to take on the global free agent challenge with a twist. I will be taking charge of my local team West Bromwich Albion and I'm only allowed to sign players under the age of 23 meaning people like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo cannot be signed.

Anyways check back later to check out who I did sign
 
please carry this on because most people who do these free agent challenges last about 2 days then they stop and its getting pretty annoying

its because they get too easy/ some teams sign nobody! i did 2 seasons as stoke doing one and had the likes of Lewandowski, Schurrle and Danilo

that is my only worry cause like chelsea bottom of the league - all losses and haven't scored a goal but lets see how things go

i guess so but if u start it a few months before then i think more teams sign more players but i see where your coming from
 
Pre-season

Not a bad pre-season with new players joining all the way through and getting used to the tactics which is why there is a mixed bag of results.
 
August 2012

A good start to the season with the win against with West Ham but the team was brought back to earth with the loss against Liverpool. Also the win in the cup got the team back to winning ways and through to the next round where Hartlepool away will be the opponents.

The disappointment of the month was the loss to Manchester United but this was made up by the win in the semi finals of the Capital One cup meaning the Baggies are on the way to Wembley. Our opponents will be Manchester United who we lost to away and drew at home so a tough task to bring the trophy home.
