In my eyes though my best free signings were John Kennedy (second season with Fleetwood Town) and James Ashmore first season. Both quality lower league signings!

Steven Defour. I wanted a box to box midfielder and did I get one!




Very good captain material, and highly consistent too. Plus, he has very good natural fitness, so he can be the captain even when I am rotating.

Maartin Stekelenburg in my Real Madrid save. He's backup to Casillas but could easily be my number 1.

2017- Hugo Lloris, He was on the list of best players, and the best goalkeeper, a kind of new Casillas, but French...

Ibrahim Affelay.

Bought for £0, played great through the season, then sold him for £20m. Good profit and I had Toni Kroos to replace. Not bad business.
