After just 3 weeks into his post as Shrewsburg, Micky Mellon has resigned for undisclosed reasons. It is widely speculated that the board were not willing to support further transfers that Mellon was keen on pushing through. Replacing him is novice Welshman Dean Wilson, who takes his managerial job in charge at New Meadow.

Shrewsbury transfer centre

Arrivals



Ben Gibson joins on a season long loan from Middlesborough. The England under 21 international is expected to feature consistently throughout the season, providing more than capable for the current centre backs.




Jake Bidwell has joined from Brentford on a season long loan deal. The young English left back is expected to slot right into the first team squad, creating strong competition within the squad.




Tommie Hoban has joined from Watford for a remarkable fee of just £45,000. The highly rated 20 year old from the Republic of Ireland joins to sure up an otherwise unstable back line. He is certain to add true defensive qualities to the role, captaining his country at under 19 level in the past whilst threatening a call up to the senior side. Many people have considered one of the deals of the summer in league 2.




The last and perhaps most incredible signing of the window for Shrewsbury is Jack Grealish, who joins on a season long loan from Aston Villa. The Republic of Ireland international has big things expected of him, and he is certain to add some flair to the Shrewsbury midfield.


Departures

Kaiman Anderson joins Crewe on a season long loan
Alex Fletcher joins Northampton on a season long loan
Josh Ginnelly joins Athlone on a season long loan
Callum Burton joins Morecambe on a season long loan
Niall Flint joins Swindon Town on a season long loan
David McAllister joins Exeter and well respected boss Tex Bumosix for £110,000


3 scouts bought and dispatched at New Meadow, sent on 9 month trips to South Korea, Japan and Australia searching for young talent.



Hope you guys enjoyed the in depth transfer window. Just about to play the first game of the season against Stevenage now so next update will be at the end of August which will probably be tomorrow evening

I like the signings. You should tear up League 2 with Grealish especially. You made great use of the loan system.

Funny that Exeter bought a CDM off of you since that is the 1 position I actually really need to bring in haha.

Thanks! Defence was the main area of weakness and that is now resolved. Hoban was a ridiculous deal. He's 65 overall, 20 years old. I got him for £45,000. God knows how. And Grealish was awsum. I'm only paying £2,250 in wages for him which will definitely be worth it.

£2,250 is a great price for a player like that. It's tough finding those players that the big clubs need to go out on loan, but have a wage a League 2 teams can afford. You got a steal there, and he is potentially your best player for the season.

Some good steals there defo, Grealish is the one player in most career modes where I hope I could buy him for good yet end up loaning him.

Keep it up, interested to see how your season plays out.

Its funny cus im scouting in the Norweigan league atm and most of the players there are on wages higher than Grealish but are a lower overall than him. Hoban is already my third best player at the club behind Grealish and Liam Lawrence, and he is a former BPL player. He's old though and his stamina is terrible, so he probably will be used sparingly at most. I've played the first game of the season and just finished for the night now. I can safely say I'm loving it right now and i'm really happy with the transfers i pulled off.

Thanks mate! Yeah i definitely won't be able to afford Grealish permanently but he should be able to guide me to League 1 comfortbaly

Month of September - Consistancy?

GAMES
West Bromwich Albion 2-3 Everton FC

After a rather boring game at home, Everton went away to take on West Brom. As the Toffees were confident about winning this match, it did not look that easy, as West Brom took the lead with Brown Ideye scoring early.

However, a goal back by McCarthy and a stunning free-kick from Baines gave Everton a smashing lead. The home team still pushed on and with the help of Claudio Yacob, the draw was taken.

But Everton had the final goal, as the new man Alex-Oxlade Chamberlain went on and scored his first goal for Everton, securing with win, and the vital 3 points.

FC Luzern 2-1 Everton

It didn´t seem that Everton could go home anytime soon, as they flew to Switzerland to face FC Luzern in the Europa League group stages. Everton is held as one of the favorites of the group, as the group also has Fiorentina and Lech Poznan.

But it was the home team who scored first, as Thierry Doubai scored the opening goal. The fans went wild, police had a hard time keeping them calm, but it was Steven Naismith who calmed the crowd with a return(might even add a lucky) goal.

Still, Luzern might have been down but not out, as they kept on knocking on the front door, and it finally paid off. A mistake by Everton in their defensive area left Marco Schneuwly through on goal, who scored and made the final score 2-1. Everton looked poor defensively and Howard also had a tough game.

Sunderland 0-3 Everton

After a disappointing performance in the Europa League, Everton flew back to England to face Sunderland in the Capital One Cup. And they looked completely different.

The man himself, Romelu Lukaku, who hadn`t been on the scorers list for 5 games, took control and dominated the Sunderland defense, as he scored his first hat-trick for Everton(and the first hat-trick for Everton overall this season).

While Sunderland was looking extremely poor, Everton still needed this boost of confidence, as their next opponent would be their toughest and most important one so far.

Liverpool 3-2 Everton

Yes, the final game of September was against the all mighty Liverpool. The Merseyside derby. Fans were fired up, the players were prepared and the coaches were scared, as it is one of the few games both teams do not want to lose.

The game started well for Liverpool as Joe Allen scored a quick goal to go up 1-0 after a great pass from Sterling. However, a foul in the box gave Everton a chance to tie the game up from the penalty spot, which they did, as Leighton Baines scored a beautiful penalty.

The reply though was quick. 3 minutes later, a cross into the box and a stunning header from Mario Balotelli gave Liverpool the upper hand.

During the start of the second half, Liverpool looked like the better team, as they went on to score, with Lazar Markovic just speeding past the defender and knocking it past Tim Howard. It was his first goal for Liverpool and in the Premier League.

A late reply from The Ox did come, but it wasn`t enough to win the game, as Liverpool and Rodgers took 3 points from the Toffees and Neville.

Europa League table

1. Fiorentina -- 3 points
2. FC Luzern -- 3 points

Goals of September, you ask? - HERE!! YEAH THATS RIGHT, RIGHT HERE!!!
(right, didn`t actually notice this but skip to 0.40, apperantly it skipped the first few goals, but I am reuploading as I am writing this :P

----

Not the greatest month, but we still played well. I do need a new center back in January. At the moment, Distin and Jagielka are both in very bad form, and the youngster are playing well but they still don´t cut it. The game against Liverpool was the hardest, I shouldn`t have really lost the game against Luzern, but eh, accidents happen.

Next post might be before Friday or is going to be next week, as I am going away on holiday to Germany on Friday. So, no promises when the next post will be, I guess you will have to wait and see.

Tough match against Liverpool. Good to see Ox getting on the scoresheet for you though. He should be a huge part of your attack going forward I would imagine.

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

No problem, I don't really care but I just had to correct you. I wasn't able to resist the temptation.

None of the letters in my username mean anything. 'Simppu' is my nickname which my dad always uses and I decided to use it when I registered to my first site. The '12' at the end is there because 'Simppu' was already taken. I added '1' at the end but it also was taken. Then I added a '2' and it wasn't taken. Since then the name has stuck with me.

Your question made me curious about the usernames and I want to ask all of you how you came up with your name/what is its origin story?

My username is rather simple. Gooner because I'm an Arsenal fan and slg are my initials. Pop them together and you have goonerslg

I know you're just messing around but it's still funny lol

Makes sense. My story is a little longer though. I play bass which explains why that's in my username. I was only a bedroom player and never played in any bands. A popular band here in my city had just split up due to problems between them. A guitar player/vocalist who was also a fan of that band wanted to get a new band together with some of their members and play a similar music style. They had everything set up but they couldn't find a bass player that could fit their style. Eventually the vocalist that started this new band, a friend of my brother's, reached out to me and gave me a quick audition at my house. Then he gave me a real audition with the band members who were actually against me joining due to my lack of experience while each of the members had been in successful bands before. Nevertheless, the vocalist stood by me and once we started playing the rest of the members were convinced and they welcomed me to my first band ever. They could never remember my name though and nicknamed me simply as "the boy" since I am about 10 years younger than the youngest of the band. They had a lot of fun with that. Later on they translated my nickname to "Chico" due to my Hispanic background. When it came to choosing a name for the band they actually added my nickname to it because they thought it was funny. We've been together for 3 years now and the nickname still stands. Everyone that has met me through the band calls me Chico.

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?




Another update from Swansea, we are now in the the middle of November and the team is coming along strong. We lost to Everton in the Capital One Cup round of 16. But in league play we are on a six game winning streak. We are also getting back healthy as well. We are now 5th in the table.



Has been a key in our turn a round with 7 goals tied for third in the league in scoringwith his teamate Montero.



He has been the instrumentalist in turning the team around. Started by getting four headers and has turned that into now just doing attack scoring. He has intense in defense and tackling as well.

More updates tomorrow.
