i lost my mind when selling lucas but ive still got a good team

It was the Southampton boss not QPR, looks like dans losing it too

Got rid as i don't use him at all, it was 12 mill not 5 . Have over 45 million so may try for another few players when i get back.

But you paid 7 million so I just subtracted it and you're undercutting yourself though. Alba and Mascherano valued at 40 million, you got a player worth 19 + 5 million

Like selling Deulefou at a bargain 3 million days before he rises to 5.3 million in value. You're crazy Jay haha

But now for the serious stuff, tonight's first actual match. Hoping to kick off with a win seeing as I have Dortmund reserves haha

i have chelsea

Why keep players i have no intention of using though, saved a lot in wages and now have more funds to get better players, in my eyes tactics.

dito hence sold players i wont use buy cheaper waged young talent that looking great

so you buy Lukaku who costs more on wages? his future wont be as bright as some of the youngsters you'll let go, West Brom doesn't compare to breaking into the Barca team

If you'd have held on a few more days you'd have got a lot more money without having to give them any more wages because there's been no fixtures yet

You could've just loaned them out to save wages

Some surprising wins there. I was going to do a sweeptakes on this Zante think its a good idea?

the current one is a little dead, so if there is enough interest I can get one running and finish the other at the end of the season.

who would be interested? thread for the other one is here:

not bad signings for 5 mill pair

Leandro DAMIAO has completed his move to West Bromwich Albion from Southampton

Hopefully i will score some goals now with West Brom

My Man City side had a few loan deals collapse as sides already had their max 3

I have the same, just wait for another offer :)

Weird thing was it was all comp teams which id not expect t happen lol

no idea what happened, went for an extravagant formation, not one that i would normally use, might have been the fact that i had a couple of debutants in the squad, all need to get used to each other imo
