Finally got Pato from Milan.

Seemed to have had a great relationship with the big fat man, Rafa(who just went to Milan) and got him for $68M transfer fee.

Oh my...yeah, definitely going to do this!

I took a break from my Liverpool save to start a Juventus save. In all the years I've played FM, I've never actually tried Serie A. Anyhow, I love Juve IRL so why not give them a shot.

[Bruins]

I can't play in Italy. Can't stand having to deal with co-ownership.

[Perceptor]

Well the co-ownership took a while for me to figure out, but I actually did well.

I bought Zapata for about 8 million total, Alex Sanchez for 3 million, and Fiorillo for almost a million. I still have a ton of cash left over from my sales.

My Juve team is awesome - actually better than my Liverpool team in terms of all-round talent

GK: Buffon/Fiorillo
DR: Santon/Grycera
DC:Zapata/Cannavaro
DC: Chiellini/Mellberg

I also signed Macheda for my youth system. Running the table in Serie A so far heading into December.

Team USA about to start WCQ again, finished summer with finals loss to Mexico in Gold Cup with B team, and Semi-final loss in Confed Cup to Italy. Currently 2nd in WCQ behind Mexico, they are rocking in my game, beating everyone? Hopefull I have an answer for them.

[Perceptor]

Good luck man. I am sure you'll take out Mexico....Meanwhile I am at the Winter Break with Juve. I haven't dropped any points in 29 straight games

I just finished up my 2nd season (1st full) in charge of Espanyol. I finished 9th (preseason prediction had me at 10th), with 2 places and 1 point separating me from a UEFA/Europa Cup spot. I had the 2nd leading scorer in the league in that of Jose Maria Callejon; he made huge improvements this season and was absolutely amazing to watch (he had 7 goals in his last 4 games, including a hattrick). I had a chance to make my way up the table, but I got hammered at Mallorca in the 2nd to last game of the season, 5-2, and a 5-1 thumping of Valladolid in the last game couldn't advance my position in the table to overtake Sevilla (8th), Betis (7th), or Getafe (6th). As for Serbia, I just beat Latvia 4-1 away. Earlier, I had a 1-0 result over Germany and a tough to swallow 2-1 defeat to the defending WC champions, Czech Republic. I'm sitting in 2nd in the Euro Qualifiers and look good for my money to qualify at the moment, even though there is a lot of footy to be played.

Here's a couple screenies of Callejon...
