Can't wait until that cunt Cavani retires, scores a stupid amount of goals for Liverpool. I'd be running away with the league if it wasn't for him.

Top of the table, 2 games remaining, Chelsea away and Spurs at home. Liverpool 3 points behind with a game in hand, but I have a superior goal difference. I always do shit against the bigger teams away though  |

Smashed it.
Liverpool drew their game in hand, then drew the next as I lost 1-0 to Chelsea despite having 4 clear cut chances and them having none. So I was still ahead. Then I hammered Spurs at home, but didn't need to as Liverpool drew again, I'd basically already won the league before these two games.

Signed; Welbeck, Babel, Bennett (who's been wank so far), Dabo, Clyne, Billy Jones, Ongenda and Danny Smith for the first team.
As well as a bunch of youngsters; Rossi, Koch, Diego, Morel, Retamar, Brizuela, Allen, Svoboda, Joaquim. Most of whom I've sent out on loan.
All for £14m which isn't bad... Also managed to get Kilkenny (who Jewell gave a match highest earner clause) off the wage bill, just need to get rid of Adomah now.

Welbeck just scored 4 goals against Arsenal in the FA cup... ;D
Earned himself a call up to the England squad when Wickham was injured, played well although didn't score so I'll probably keep him there for now.

I really need to sort my youth policy out. When faced with a £30m transfer budget, maybe up to £50m after selling a couple of players, it's so easy to go out and buy youths with loads of potential for a few million. Thus, I've landed myself one of the biggest squads known to man, with a great first team, along with some great rotation options. So providing everybody is fit, the youths don't have a sniff at all, and I keep sending them out on loan but they are still not good enough. Been good for my transfer budget though, keep selling them on a couple of years later for £5m+.
Might sell some of my rotation options, and have a very strong starting 11, with just youths, as plenty of them are already good prem standard, so any injuries or fatigue and I've got to play them and they can develop properly.

I got given a £120mill transfer budget (still at Spurs, 20/21 season) and didn't need to sign anyone. The squad is way too big, I only play with one up top and I must have about eight strikers, all good enough to start
I decided to spunk £43mill on a 15 year old striker Sven Maier. He decided to bang two in on his debut. Lej

My best youth was an Argentinian right back who I signed on a free (well 1 million comp) with the potential to be one of the best players on the game. Sold Zabalated for £10m (who I signed for about 2) to Inter who was a leading star, and threw Nieto straight in despit not being as good at the time. Quickly became the best bit of business I ever did. PSG are also trying to sign my Brazillian winger for £64m, who I also signed on a free at the same time. Mental. |

I refused to go through an entire transfer window without making one big signing so I saw him and thought "fuck it" The England job is bloody difficult on this years version. I'm overseeing a very transitional period where the old stars have either recently retired or are coming up to retirement and the young stars aren't quite good enough yet to win on a regular basis Mexico seem ridiculously good |

Just got through the transfer window.
Started with £14m budget, because Stoke aren't rich enough.
Total transfers spent - £55m
Total transfers sold - £90m
And I've improved my squad, reduced the wage budget, like getting rid of Andy Johnson who was on 115k a week, been brilliant for me, but 30 now. he was in last year of contract and wanted more money. I've got my Brazillian winger anyway, and a youth to cover any injuries etc.
I'm an amazing manager, made Stoke some money because they keep some of the transfer fees, improved my squad, and still have £30m to play with and 250k a week wage budget.

I sometimes wish I'd stuck it out with Stoke instead of jumping ship straight after Coates gave me no money and downgraded all the training facilities, youth academy and junior coaching. Literally, anything that could be downgraded was downgraded to save money. There's plenty of time to go back and give it another go with them when I get bored of being Spurs manager I guess

I also looked at Cavani's attributes, and found a 21 year old who had similar ones, but he injured himself straight away. Hopefully he can bang in the 50 odd goals that Cavani did  |

My tactic has worked, going way more attacking most games and pushing my defence up has meant I'm scoring bucket loads, and I have the top scorer.
Not the one I intended though ;D In the second game of the season, I spanked Bolton 9-0 and Castaignos banged in 6, and has been undroppable since, with 25 goals in 22 games, with 19 of them coming from 15 Prem games.
The striker I intended for this role, has a serious injury, and so does another, luckily I have 5 mint strikers ;D
That's 4 strikers I paid between £10m and £13m for, but this beast only started banging them in after a full season with me.

All hail Flavio  This is an old picture (I'm in 2021 now) so he's slightly better than this right now. This was also his shit season where he was slightly inconsistent. Not bad for £27mill |

Shit me, why aren't you starting him every game? He'd be on about 1 a game probably.
