As for Elano, his stats are immense!!!! No wonder everyone's after him. I'd be offering everything I could to get him.
Yeah i know :P I would to :)
I sold Dunne and now hes my Captain and weve just hammered Tottenham so its looking good under his reign :)

Update 10

Curren league position: 6th

Okay so ive decided im not going to make anymore signings for the rest of the Jan transfer …my only signing-Heleno


Dunne has left for a fee of 7.5 mill and his captaincy has been given to Elano ,Micah remains vice .


Also Micheal Johnson joins Sunderland on loan



Highlight of the update –the five-two smashing of Tottenham :)

Update 11
Shaleum Logan is sent on loan to Stoke to help him gain some experience.
Onouha is actually looking really good and has played a few games. He is looking to be a really good prospect.He seems to be reacting well to be tutored by Dunne even though Dunne is at another team he is still being tutored by him ?? How does that work??


Another good prospect that I have signed, Thiago Heleno,Is looking like he will be a good signing .He wins everything in the air and is hard to get past on the ground

Update 12
Petrov scores goal of the month for January


Petrov clinches player of the month award


Micah wins young player of the month award again


Here’s a screenie:




Bojinov is blowing me away by the amazing performances I'm seeing from him... he is slowly becoming one of my favorite strikers, and he does it again ,scoring twice to beat Everton!!







The only player i feel a bit sorry for is Corluka.He hasnt done much wrong but he hasnt done much amazing and being kept out of the team by Rafinha who plays wb and Onuoha who plays at Dc next to Micah (I just love the physical aspects these to hold as a pairing .

Update 13
Here’s the League table so far:



As you can see were not doing to bad and if I had started with this new tactic I created during the friendlies back in July I think we’d be challenging for 3rd or 4th spot




One set back is we have lost our Vice captain to injury ...Micah is out for around 1 and 2months ...just when we needed him the most !!Guess it time for Corluka to step up to the challenge.

Update 13
Well what can I say we’ve lost our 1st match in 8 games and Newcastle’s pace in attack caused us problems due Micah being out! We lost 2-1 and despite the loss the team had ratings of 7 and 8s with Hart having a 9 .Elano put us on the score sheet in the second half but unfortunately we couldn’t snatch the equaliser late in the game.


Another loss to Dinamo Kiev this time and this showing me how important Micah actually is to this team and how I should fight to keep him here for the rest of his playing career.

Next up Hull !!

Man city are playing some good football of late and i'm very pleased with squad of players I currently have .


I don't think I will win any silver ware this year but I think we shall stand a good chance of getting some next year If I manage to keep hold my boys !!


Player of the month for Feb-Elano




Manager of the month for Feb-Nathan Rogers (Me:P)




We have just carried out form from the Hull game into the Blackburn game and given the a hammering of 5-0 !!


Man of the Match –Bojinov who scored 2 goals


2 assist from Vagner Love and an assist from Yildirim and Petrov.

5th in the league and looking good to take 4th from the Toon.
You're still 10 points behind Chelsea and Arsenal though but the way you're going you should be able catch up.

Not sure how you lost to Dinamo Kiev though, lol. They never seem strong enough to beat a Premier League team. Maybe City was having an off day after the Newcastle game.

Keep up the good work.

EDIT: You updated whilst I was writing this, lol.

Well done on manager of the month again and the thumping of Blackburn. Elano's looking great mate. You should do everything in your power to keep hold of him.

Update 16


Soooooooooo close yet so far !!


We played against our bitter rivals Man U and we lost by a narrow margin of 2-1 .


We were so close to pulling a good draw but Anderson ruined our night with a spectacular 30 yard shot !!


he positive being Yilidirum got Man of the match and Sir Alex commented on his performance saying he was the best player on the pitch :)

But it doesnt get any easier with games against Chelsea and Arsenal coming soon...

Good stuff mate.

Shame you couldn't take 4th place but you've done great none the less.
I'm surprised Elano wasn't in the team of the year starting lineup but eh, what are you gonna do?

Can't wait to see how you do next season and good luck.

Update 18

So far im looking to offload Garrido(3 mill)and Logan(2.5mil) as they dont look like theyre gonna become any thing special ...That gives me 5.5 mill to spend on youngsters that are coming through the ranks of other clubs
Young signings so far:
What i do to ensure i get a youngster for a free:
I offer the team 2 million for player after he has played 20 games...that ensures u don't waste money on a player that wont ever play for my team and this is how i have signed most of my youngsters...This also means that if you want to sell the player you will always make a profit unless you sell the player for a free.

Gk-Piotr Czaplinski-Could be better than Joe Hart



Dl/wb-Miquel Nelom-Potential to be as good as Pernia



Dc-Alcibiade-had the potential to be as good as Corluka(already worth 2.1 mill at the age of 16),hes just been dubbed the next Phillipe Mexes :P (i sure hope so )



St-Victor Moses for 100k so i have 5.4 mill left

Benjani will be leaving on a free hopefully which will mean even more money for wages (he has left for stoke)

Ill probs be sending all my youngsters on loan this season so that others can shine and show what they can do ...

Targets
Engelaar in for pires who has had a good and honourable last season at top class football ,thank you pires...why engelaar ?? have you seen hist stats ?? for 2 mill(Make that 1 mill ,also his wages are really low at 14500) hes an amazing signing and would set Manchester alight!!and to give you a clue if you do a player search with engelaar only Bodmer comes up



I still plan to bring elhadj(I sign him for 6 mill which is cheap if you look at his stats,also he can play all down the left which means decent cover and a good replacement for Pernia) and Ziani in to strengthen the squad and i believe Ziani would be mouth watering prospect.
Screenies of both :






Eljaro Elia(21) is another prospect who could be better than Elano on the wing and that still takes allot !!He can also play as a Striker ...
