Im looking to bring in Elliot Omozusi and Lewin Nyatanga
It will be costly and it will cost avout 20 mill all together to bring the 2 in.Also both play defender left and centre so they create a good back up





Both have the pottential to be as good if not better than Corluka and Richars states my Scout

Well ill post another post when my parents get off

Laters

Update 18

Okay so ive got an idea ... because ive signed a few players it could have a disruptive effect , right?? well what im gonna do is get a few teams i can really smash and then hopefully this will improve morale and mean the team gel better :)

1st up Hornchurch
Details:
1st i want to apologise to Hornchurch for absolutely destroying there self belief ...
Won 7-0 in the end
elano-2goals
Micah-3goals
jo-1goal
Bojinov-1goal

2nd up Accrington(a little bit more well known)
Details:
They gave us a bit more of a challenge with 1 goal from 1 shot(And a totally amazing shot !!I think it was a liverpool loanie that scored (Craig Linfield)
We put 5 past them ,2 from Richards and one from Onouha and Jo

Well latest news is a rejected a offer of 70 mill for Richards from Barcelona I bet they thought i would have cashed in but nope !!Hes a future captain and a big part of the future they can have him when he is 33 or 34 lol

good idea on the friendlies, i have to say though, 70million would have definitely tempted me, i'd have probably let him go for that.

good luck on the new season though.

Well its time to play my 1st Prem game of the 2nd season 2008/09 and i play Portsmouth at home :)

Well weve done well and we go on to beat Portsmouth 5-1!!
2 goals form elano 2goals from Micah and 1 goal from Jo



Next fixtures is the Benefit trophy where i be playing against unknown teams like AFC Wimbledon,AFCHayes and Abingdon Untd .

We play Wimbledon in the semi and smash them 4-0
Goals:
Engelaar-1
Elia-1
Gelson Fernandes-1
Vagner Love-1

We face Abingdon Untd in the final!

We won 4-0
Goals:
Vagner love-2
Bojinov-1
Elano-1
Love being the man of the Match

What i have been doing in these games is looking at how players play in different positions and how they affect the team...A player that played very well at striker creating loads of goals for any of his partners was Elia who is natural on both wings and striker !! I think his main stats aid him in this position with flair creativity first touch all above 16 and Dribbling of 19 with pace to back the dribbling up .

Yeah it seemed to work quite well :) we beat Portsmouth quite convincingly and at the moment all the media is saying is how we are playing with allot of style and verve sounds good

Well it would have normally but he is an amazing player and i made a decision that id be keeping him when i started the game (almost like when i play with chelsea i force myself to keep Drogba and Lampard or when with Arsenal i make sure i keep Fabregas)

Thanxs i need all the luck and hard work i can get

Update 19
My next game in the prem is my local team the City of Norwich or the canaries or by ipswich fans the shity of Norwich (play ipswich in rugby ...i play for North Walsham Vikings and what allot of shitheads just joking good ol' rivalry )

Phew it was a close game going all the way down to the wire !! We equal until i brought engelaar on at Dm(yes you heard me !! Dm) and scored and amazing 35 yard half voley to win the game for me (i cant believe i only payed 1mill for this guy !!)

A Romanian player called zicu looked immense for them and he scored the goal against us !!They also had the likes of Ball who i sold to Blackburn and i amr called Jullian Jenner who looked quite nifty

Our goals came from :
Engelaar and Bojinov

Well all i can say is 2 wins from 2 games is a good start so far
More news i have loaned out Michael Johnson to Aston villa for the rest of the season so it would be interesting to see what happens
Ha ha i just found a guy thats touted to be the next elano he was called up for the brazil under 20s setup:

Doubt he will be though but ill keep an eye or 2 or 3 if he becomes any good.

Well next game is against Bolton away
Another victory and another happy manager !!
We win 2-1
Goals from :Corluka and Elano

3 out of 3 so far

Okay so ive bought another Goalkeeper called German Lux(12.5 mill ) who is the Argentinian national team goalkeeper and him and Hart shall be rotating as man city team Goal keeper ...

Walkinshaw-Well in the 1st four games played hes only conceded four and has done well as i am using an attacking tactic which counts on him as a sweeper keeper to rush out and close down allot !!So i would say he is performing very well !! :) who need Petr Cech when you got Hart who's got amazing potential !!

This is what my coach says about him :



Ive Just drawn Middlesbrough for the Carling cup 3rd round !! Not to bad a draw
I play Dinamo Moscow in the 1st round of the EUFA Cup ...Hope i can beat them(i should easily beat then really !!)


My Next game-Everton-away(this may be a tough game !!)

Everton will be a tough one. You should easily beat Dinamo but never discount Middlesbrough. I was on the recieving end of a good and proper thumping by them with Man City, as was Sven in real life.

well we have just lost to Everton 2-1 ...1st loss of the season ...a little dissapointing.We could have won the game and we should have! we dominated from start to finish ! Anyways a bit unlucky but i guess they were just more clinical on the day ...
My only goal came from :guess who ??lol none other than Elano and i can officially say he is my favorite Amc ahead of Vdv,Lampard and Raul !! He is just so clinical and he scores goals and creates assists for fun !!So to that i would swap chelsea's midfield of Deco,Lampard and Balack for him !!

Biggest signings this Transfer open(July/August 2008/09):
Jose Antonio Reyes returns to England to play for Liverpool for a fee of 21.26mill

Arsenal spash the cash on Andres Guardado for a fee of 20.5 mill !!

Here are some of the most expensive signings in July:



Here are some of the most expensive signings in August:


As can be seen by the signings Newcastle are a very strong team this year !!Last time i just managed to finish ahead of them it will be interesting who finishes where this season .


Richards wins young player of the month again(August) !

Elano gets second best goal of the month !

Well we have just played against Played sheff untd and we beat then 3-2 taking us to the top of the league for the 1st time under my reign as manager .I have also just signed a contract keeping me at the club until 2013!! So the board obviously believe in me which is good to know !
Goals were scored by mathew Killgalon (own goal coming off a cross from petrov) ,Petrov scoring off the spot and Battaglia scoring a 35 yard strike !!
I dont know but i think that the Dm position is a long shooter spectacle as both engelaar and Battaglia have scored 35 yarders from this position!!

Lets hope it continues !

Well weve just played Fulham and won 2-0 and i thought the team played very well!!
Again Elano showed how well he bosses the game and assisted twice setting up petrov for another goal and Jo for a beautiful run around and past the keeper before scoring !!
Hence this keeps us in first for our second game !!Heres the Prem Table:

Come on boys lets win it this season !!
