I signed Lukaku, Babacar and Leroy Fer. Lukaku 20+ goals and assists, Babacar golden boot with 31 goals. Probably signed someone else but can't remember. Can recommend Yesil and Kovacic as great youth prospects.
I am playing as Newcaslte at the moment too. I highlighted 3 main areas I wanted to upgrade from the off. Left-Back, Cetnre-Back and striker.
Here is who I bought and for what fees.
Scott Dann (Birmingham) - 7.5mil
Razvan Rat (Shakhtar - 3mil
Lucas (Sao Paolo) - 5mil
All of those wont demand stupid wages either!
I sold Joey Barton to spurs for 7 mil as well. Then I just went out and found a few cheaper players to bolster the bench.
1st season I finished 9th
and im nearly done in my second season and am sitting in 6th. Lucas has been fantastic in his second year. 20 goals and 8 assists with another 7 games to go. Only on 33k per week too!
