If I was desperate for cash selling off Neil Gordon would be a way to get it. I've gotten offers of $6.5M and $8M for him now from teams in Serie A. I really really like the kid though and have no intention of selling him.


New Signing

We pick up a veteran defender from Liverpool. Welcome DLR Adriano to Ipswich. He wasn't free, but pretty close. We paid $250,000 up front for him, signed him to a one year deal and said we'd pay $300,000 more if he played in 20 matches for us. I'm hoping to stick with Kirkland and Berthet at DL/DR for the most part but if this guy is just better or if his experience is that important for us then he'll be worth the extra $300k.

Adriano is 33 years old and will be making $23,500/wk for us. All his physical skills are in the 9-10 range. He's solid across the board elsewhere though... Off the Ball 17, Positioning 12, Teamwork 14, Work Rate 14, Decisions 15. Crossing 14, Marking 12, Passing 12, Tackling 13, Technique 13. Not a single rating below 10 in the technical or mental areas.

Neato: Adriano Correia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. IRL he went from Sevilla to Barcelona and currently plays there.

In the game, he stayed with Sevilla until the 12/13 season when Liverpool paid $16.25 Million for him. In 5 seasons for Liverpool he averaged > 7.0 rating every season playing primarily as a left midfielder. He's equally adept at least in the game in defense and since we don't run wide midfielders will obviously be playing defense for us.
