Transfers for 3rd Season and I become England Manager!

I have finished all my transfers for the 3rd season. As I said in a previous post, I was given a mega $101m to spend. As you can see from the screenshot below I spent more than that, but I sold alot of players as well. The major departures of course, were Angel Di Maria, Martin Skrtel and Dirk Kuyt. Although all these players were important last season, but were all sold due to very good offer being made for them by other clubs.

Obviously, the major signing of the summer for me was David Silva. A massive $61m was spent on this world-class player. Silva was signed as a replacement for Di Maria, and I think you will agree that he is a better player. He is also very useful as he can play in a number of different positions. Silva will be my first choice Left Winger in my 4-4-2 formation, with Riera as his backup.

Otamendi was signed as a direct replacement for Skrtel. He has amazing physical stats, (that you unfortunately can't see, I will get that sorted) and is quicker and stronger than Skrtel. He is also younger, so can be a long term player for me in defence.

Luis Fabiano was signed as a replacement for Kuyt. I signed him for just $8.25m, which is alot less than I sold Kuyt for. I think this is a great deal, because Fabiano is younger, quicker, more skillful, and a better finisher. I am training him to be an AMR, so he can truly be a replacement for Kuyt.


Alot of money was spent on this 17 year old regen Left Winger. I spent this much money, because he has very good attributes for his age and has the potential to be as good as Silva.




Galvan was snapped up on a free transfer, after a trial due to his amazing potential. He is skillful and quick and I think he will develop into a very good AMC.



Regen wonderkid Vavilov was signed for a mere $4.5k! What were CSKA thinking? Mind you I'm not complaining as he has amazing attributes, and my coach says he has the potential to be as good as Fernando Torres.
Alot of money was spent on 15 year old regen Marra. That's because he has the potential to be a quality player! You can't see his physical attributes but he is quite quick, (14), strong(15), and good in the air (jumping-15).

That's all the transfers, I hope they will make us stronger, and help us achieve the goal of winning the Champions League!
Finally, as you will have noticed in the title, I am now the England manager! Yes, after Fabio Capello resigned, I was offered the job and I accepted straight away. Now I will mix my time with Liverpool with my time with England. Just so you know England are currently 3rd in the world rankings, so I hope I can lead them to the top!
That's all for now, please comment if you are a reader.
As this will be my last post before Christmas, I would like to say, Merry Christmas to everyone!
