Okay. I managed to sign Defour for £25M. Very pricey, but should be a good signing. Joleon Lescott cost another £11M. And I also signed Foriestri from Genoa/ Siena (Co-own). He set me back a little over £5M.
This didn't leave me enough for a keeper that was worth spending real money on, so I picked up Kuszak from Man Utd. as backup for Lobont (£770K). Hopefully he'll prove you wrong until I can bring in someone else next year, or perhaps in January.
Thanks for all your help, I'm pretty confident in my team now. Especially since VDV seems to have had a change of heart about leaving.
I do have one other thing to ask though, if anyone can help? I need a replacement for Gareth Bale who seems inclined to move to Italy. I had my heart set on Taiwo, and can afford him, but he rejects the contract every time. Same with Chiellini - he even requested to be transfer listed. Anything I can do to convince them?
Or failing that anyone know a decent leftback? Emmanuelson is also taken by the way. |
