so the new season is upon me, heres what i did during the offseason. i sold DL Gaylor, he wasnt needed anymore. Everton came in for a bid for RW Doherty. ive had Doherty for 7 seasons, and while he was good he was always injured. he was entering the final year of his contract so i decided to cash in now.

i snatched at an opportunity to grab a real good AMC/AML that happened to become transfer listed


he only cost 4 million. but as soon as i added him my young star Foxcroft complained about too many rival players. i couldnt let him become unsettled so i decided too offload RW/AMC Purcell and DMC/CM Bernal. purcell was just a rotaTION GUY WHO GETS LOANED OUT A LOT, AND Bernal wasnt as good as i had hoped 6 months ago. my 1st team squad is now only 22 players and 1 of those is a mentor only (Solly)

i also bought an Aussie LB/DC for a few million

[bulletsponge]

i forgot to mention i bought 2 centerbacks near the tranfer deadline. i sold Cb Trablesi for 1.5 mill, and bought peruvian cb Rivera from Buraspor for 4.3 million. and Soto and American for 3.2 million. Soto didnt get a WP so he will be loaned out to Parma this season

[bulletsponge]

i also have 0 in transfer funds. i couldnt bring in an Egyptian that ive been eyeing for years

[bulletsponge]

my finances are hurt this year due to an expansion of Brunton Park. we are limited to 13,681 seats, with 8341 bieng built. they wont be ready till the 1st game of march next year (about 3 1/2 months). ive only lost about 5.5 million this season and still have 12 million in the bank, so i wont go into the red this year and the new additions are sorely needed to compete. my salary budget is at 22 million, and its been there the last 3 years so i need to expand or that budget wont get bigger.
