1) how did you get Van Der Vart for 2.7 million? lol
2) you should change the layout mate, if you wanna keep the style your doing now then you deffo need pictures with better text (colour/font)
3) You can't really have a story line with the style of thread your doing, this is more of a documenting story rather then an actual story thread (like my story)
Nice to see an update for once though ;)

1) Transfer listed and his pace stats have dropped abit cos of an injury but otherwise class
2) Ok, pictures as in?? Logos or what?
3) I was thinking that I wrote the narrative to fit in with the updates, so maybe if we won a cup, we'd go out to celebrate and then something bad would happen. Thanks for the feedback, and yeah, finally ;)

Like add some screenshots of tactics or transfers, maybe even the league each month? Keep it up though, i wanna see who has the better Tottenham season ;)
 
I will. WE WILL BE CHAMPIONS! we have an absolutely beats squad, I'll post a screenie of the 1st choice team and the backup.
 
Change player roles. Change Damiao to a Advanced Forward. Gyfi to a AP and Modric to a DLP. Make Cissoko a WB as well
 
AUGUST/SEPTEMBER - A TRULY SH!TE START

Liverpool 4-1 Tottenham
Dawson

Spurs 1-3 Man City
Sigurddson

Spurs 2-0 Fulham
Damiao (2)

Spurs 0-2 Strasbourg

West Ham 0-3 Spurs
Balotelli (2), Damiao

Olympiakos 0-2 Spurs
Damiao, Bale

We have started to slightly turn it around but the defeat against Arsenal was shocking. I put man marking on Giroud but he scored 5 -_-. I hope we can still get a top 4 finish but our early form doesn't suggest that.

​
 
Whats Giroud's Pace like though? Because marking someone tightly can sometimes backfire if theyre fast and/or have good Off The Ball stats

Llorente is a big lad and his Off The Ball is incredible if I remember right, Pace isnt too bad either. Anyway hope it all works out

BEST PLAYER AWARD FOR OCTOBER/NOVEMBER GOES TO:

He came off the becn when we were 2-1 down o Wolves and scored twice to win the game. What a top lad. Has been consistently scoring. It was a toss up between him and Damiao, but Defoe is a ledge so I chose him.

MOST IMPROVED PLAYER AWARD FOR OCTOBER/NOVEMBER GOES TO:
Anders Lindegaard
Didn't concede before the Wolves game for three whole games and has commanded his area. A big improvement to the uncertain new boy we saw in August/September. Has truly made the No. 1 spot his own.

like to get some feedback on this please! I haven't had a comment in a while is anyone actually following?
 
Ok guys, I am really enjoying this series and story BUT - I may start a new story not an ordinary story though, EITHER!:
An emulation of Brendan Rodgers. Basically I start at Watford (Rodgers' 1st club). I then move to Reading, and then on to Swansea, and then Liverpool. Similar to the story on at the moment "Another emulation of \sir Alex Ferguson" but Ferguson has been done alot so I would like to try a different manager.
OR!
A " BE the Board" game. Basically , you guys and myself beome the board of a team. We choose the team and I'm the manager, but all matches are hollidayed and the assistant, in effect, manages the team. We sack him if he is doing well, and we decide on the transfers
Which one would you like to see more?
 
^^Please note even if the proposed story goes through I will NOT stop this Spurs one, I will differentiate between the two

I strongly advise you don't start a seperate story unless you reallly can commit to them both. An emulation of Brenden Rodgers would be good
