On the 8th, som of my trialists arrive and Davisson joins us
I don’t like Jamaican Fabian Taylor enough for a full contract, nor do I like Nigel Jemson enough
Scott Ginty maybe, we’ll hold onto him for a bit
It’s the 10th, and none of my loan offers came through
We crushed our friendly 5-0 – I forgot to put myself back in charge so I do that now
I have offered a few extraneous players. We’ll see if any get picked up
15 July – I attend the Trial for English Players
I get a few scouting reports on some of the attendees
We have signed Joe McKee to the tem for year long loan
Joe McKee – 18, paid nothing, worth 825k. MC and AM C. Admittedly slow – 6 acc and 10 pace. 20 free kick and penalty, so I have a nice set piece man. He’s from Burnley and admitted that he might like to see if the loan could be made permanent later. 11 passing, 13 technique, 14 long shots, 13 first touch, 12 each to dribbling and corners, and even 15 finishing. This guy’s a nice talent in this league. Mental stats of quality include 16 composure, 14 flair, 14 influence, 13 determination. Weaknesses include 6 work rate, 7 team work, 4 each jumping and heading, and so forth. He’s a good attacking MC choice for us this year
Due to Addo’s ability, I decide to create another tactic to work on, a 3-1-4-2 with Addo in a DMC role – it’s a backup tactic only.
I pay a friendly vs Luton Town
