Thanks! Imagine if your save still worked! It would be intriguing to see the differences between our teams at this stage of the season.

Congrats on winning the La Liga by the way and nipping ahead of Real Madrid by two points!. I knew you could do it!

Yeah there was a lot of draws but that just shows how close in quality many Championship teams are. I really wouldn't mind spending another season in the Championship so that I can develop my players more. That's said of course, we aren't going to be losing games on purpose and automatic promotion is definitely within sight.

Congrats on snatching the league from Real at the death! Tomás really came through for you in those last 3 games and when he scores the same amount of goals as Neymar you know just what a good season he had. Lux was also immense keeping the most clean sheets and Guadrado was too with those 10 assists. Good luck with next season and I hope you can win the Copa Del Rey and make a good run in the Champions League while also retaining the league title!

*Paterson is injured atm so Dicko has been playing at LM.

I'm also trying to decide whether to partner Moore or Lascelles with Mancienne. Right now it's Moore as Lascelles won't be here next season and I want Moore to develop. Both Rees and Grant's contracts are up in 6 months so I may just let them run out as they aren't ever going to be good enough for the team. I also tried to offload Abdoun in the last window but Blackburn ran out of time when negotiating his contract. Evtimov was also going to be sold but he rejected a move to Exeter and some Saudi club. If he doesn't find a club in the summer he will be released. I'm also going to look for a young left back to replace Fox as backup and eventually Cohen as a starter. Maybe Jordan Obita, Declan John, Andrew Robertson (As a bigger signing) or Baba.

Thanks for Reading!

Barclays Premier League Match:

Despite Swansea having most of the possession and most of the chances, Exeter have scored due to a perfectly weighted ball through the defence allows Appiah to get onto it before slotting it into the bottom right corner.

SWA – Montero (39’)

José Cañas squares the ball to Jefferson Montero in the middle who turns before smashing the ball with his left foot and into the back of the net.

Exeter City’s Player of the Year:

Kwabena Appiah

Once again, Kwabena Appiah has been a goal scoring machine! He’s the a big reason for why I’m doing so well in the league and he deserves to get our player of the year award.

Youth Academy:

Aaron Davis (United States) 16 years old 70-74 OVR 87-93 POT
- This 5’10 right-footer looks to be an amazing striker. His best attributes are his heading accuracy, shot power, finishing and ball control. This physically strong youth player should be the real deal once he joins the ranks of the senior team.

Danny Winnard (United States) 16 years old 62-66 OVR 81-87 POT
- Danny Winnard is a midfielder playmaker who’s left-footed and stands at 6’0. He’s looking at being a very well-rounded player with a range of passing stats, good vision and formidable long shots.

*Max McFadzean (England) 16 years old 58-69 OVR 78-92 POT*
- Max McFadzean stands at 5’9” and it a RW with great ball control, dribbling, long shots, finishing and acceleration. This right footed winger could be gifted but only scouting further will tell.

*Rostyn Woodcock (Australia) 16 years old 48-62 OVR 76-94 POT*
- Not too much is known about Rostyn Woodcock except that he’s blessed with pace and agility and that this left-footed player plays in the CAM position.

* Denotes a new graduate

Manager’s Thoughts:

It’s been a very difficult season but we have proved our critics that we can stay in this league and that we can even challenge for the top five. We’ve managed to get into the Europa League and we’re ecstatic! So much parting today and tomorrow!

We’ve got to buckle down soon due to my intention of bringing new players to the squad to strengthen our position for the next season and I’ve just received that we have eleven million pounds to play with at the start of next season and a ninety-thousand wage budget too!

I would like to thank everyone at the club and the fans for all their hard work and support through this difficult season.

Roma update.

Roma starting to turn it around, after conferring with Keano we tweaked our lineup and key players are also back from injury and we showing some form. In league play we have two straight wins as well as a Champions Cup victory over Manchester City. We now head into our annual rivalry match with Lazio. Right now we sit in fifth in the league as October is winding down. Team is coming along well.

[Blue Eagle]

Inter Milan
Season 1
October 2014

Objectives:
Qualify for the Champions League
Reach the Semi Final of the Europa League
Reach the Semi Final of the Domestic Cup

Europa League
FC Rostov 1 - 3 Inter
Palacio (PEN) 10’ 77’
Torbinsky 52’
Icardi 86’

MOTM Palacio

We played a great match and it was a good start to the month after a relatively poor month last month. Asamoah was the man that won the penalty for us when he cut back and the Russian defender swept his legs out from under him. Palacio stepped up and smashed it into the roof of the net and sent the keeper the wrong way. Torbinsky would tie it up for the Russian side with a simple to the bottom corner after some great build up play. Palacio would put us back in the lead 25 minutes later when he rounded the keeper and dribbled it into the goal. The 86th miunte saw Icardi score his first competitive goal when he was able to get to a through ball and finish 1v1 with the keeper, hopefully he has many more goals to come.

League Match
Fiorentina 2 - 3 Inter
Valero 16’
Palacio 27’ 90’
Rossi 37’
Shaqiri 62’

MOTM Palacio

I was nervous for this game, I rate Fiorentina as a pretty good side despite their position in the table. I was even more put on edge when they scored the first goal with a well worked play that resulted in a 1v1 and Handanovic was unable to make the save. Despite the home side having the lead we kept pressing them high up the pitch and Shaqiri won the ball and played Palacio through for a simple goal.The lead didn’t last long, because 10 minutes later Rossi let fly from 30 yards out and it was a great dipping shot that Handanovic could do nothing about. Shaqiri was able to tie up the game after Palacio drilled in a cross and he had an easy tap in. We would finally take the lead in the 90’ when Podolski, who subbed in for Icardi 15 minutes earlier, crossed the ball to the wide open Palacio for a free header back post.

Europa League
Inter 3 - 3 Trabzonspor
Constant 28’
Aydogdu 42’
Ekici 50’
Asamoah 62’
Shaqiri 83’
Palacio 90’

MOTM Ekici

In a high scoring affair we were lucky enough to escape with one point to keep us on top of the group. The first half was very poor from us, we could not keep possession of the ball at all and didn’t create any clear cut chances. When we were down by 3 we felt hopeless, but in the 62’ we went on the counter attack and scored our first real opportunity and it gave us a glimmer of hope. After our first goal we turned the game on its head and started creating lots of chances and Shaqiri put the second one in after receiving a well placed pass from Asamoah and then rounded the last defender before coolly finishing to the keeper's right. As the game was winding down we went All Out Attack so Vidic moved up to play striker alongside Palacio and Shaqiri. In what proved to be the final few seconds of the game Asamoah played a cross into Vidic who headed it down into the path of Palacio who beat the keeper near post with a ferocious power shot.

League Match
Cesena 1 - 4 Inter
Santon 45’
Defrel 51’
Icardi 62’
Podolski 87’ 90’

MOTM Podolski

I don’t know where the match notes went =(

League Match
Inter 1 - 0 Sampdoria
Palacio (PEN) 25’

MOTM Handanovic

A game of no chances up until the 24’ when Shaqiri received the ball took one touch and was then tackled American Football style and we were awarded the penalty. Palacio beat the keeper to his right with a powerful strike. Sampdoria would drive down the field right after kickoff though and put together a nice string of passes but the final shot hit the post and went out for a goal kick. Five minutes before halftime the referee gave the away team a controversial penalty and gave Shaqiri a yellow card for a foul that didn’t happen at closer look in the replays. None the less Sampdoria had a penalty with just Handanovic to beat. Lucky for us Handanovic is in fantastic form and pulled off a brilliant save to keep us in the lead. The second half was rather boring as we just played defense until the 80’ minute when they played a ball into the box from deep and the Sampdoria forward got a head to it to put the ball into the net. The goal was disallowed for offside and the game ended for a win at the San Siro for us.


Shaqiri being tackled to win a penalty.

Table:

Spoiler

Europa League Group C:
1) Inter -- 5
2) FC Rostov -- 4
3) Trabzonspor -- 3
4) Sport. Lokeren -- 2

My Thoughts on this Month:

About the Games:
Nine points out of nine in the league is pretty good plus a win and a draw in Europe. Handanovic kept us in quite a few of them, specifically the game against Sampdoria where he saved a penalty. Palacio has been in fantastic form and leads the league in goals scored. I wish we had beat Trabzonspor sadly they completely outplayed us for most of the game and deserved a win. That game was really the only bad thing this month and I’m pretty proud even though some of the games came down to the final seconds to decide.

Transfer Rumors:

Memphis Depay (PSV) - I want him because I’m thinking of going to a 4-3-3 and I want someone quicker than Podolski that can beat defenders and cut into shoot. He is young and has great potential to be a star player. Hopefully he doesn’t cost to much and we can bring him in. (plus I’m a Man U fan that wants to use him)

Lucas Vietto (Villarreal) - I haven’t been that impressed with Icardi, although he has shown glimmers of what he has to offer so I will not be selling him. I want someone that I know can do the job if Palacio picks up an injury and I don’t know if Icardi is ready to do that. Vietto is one of the leading scorers in La Liga though so we will surely have lots of clubs looking for his signature.

Axel Witsel (Zenit) - We need a holding mid to cover for Medel and Guarin. They both have lots of stamina, but if they get hurt or are fatigued we don’t have adequate cover. Witsel would be a physical presence in the middle of the park that we don’t have at the moment.

Danilo (Porto) - If we switch to a 4-3-3 I want a new right back because both of the ones we have currently are 34+ years of age and beginning to decline in stats. He will most likely cost quite a bit of our budget.

Seamus Coleman (Everton) - The Irish right back impressed last season and has had a good start to this season as well. Same as Danilo for the reason why we need him, but would likely be cheaper because of his age.

Hector Bellerin (Arsenal) - Bellerin has not played much because he has Calum Chambers and Debuchy ahead of him in the pecking order. He is the youngest and the cheapest of the right backs that I’m looking at but also much less developed and would not be at the same level technically. I am considering him though because I like pace on my fullbacks and he has an abundance of it plus I think he could grow to be top notch.

Let me know anyone else you think could be good for my squad.
