RobFenech Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Hi Guys; Just started a game with Southampton. FM2009 9.30 Original DB, No edits Leagues Active: England EPL -> League 2 Media Prediction is 19th, chairman and fans expect a safe, mid table position. I have been given £0 to spend and I am £2k over my wage budget.... Freebies and loans may come in, but we have the squad to be in the EPL within 2 years. Wish me luck; I will try to keep this updated a few times a week. Rob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobFenech Posted August 26, 2009 Author Share Posted August 26, 2009 First signing was a fantastic coup for the club; Rubén Palazuelos from Hearts on a free transfer. He has excellent stats for a CM in the championship and he will sit in alongside Morgan Schneiderlin in a 4-4-2 system at home. Friendlies coming up; the ASSMAN can handle those though, just for fitness... Top Ten finish is the aim; if I can get a good striker then the Play Offs are a possibility Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobFenech Posted August 26, 2009 Author Share Posted August 26, 2009 Pre-season went well with big wins over Oxford, Eastleigh & Aldershot amongst others. The season got underway at St Marys, a 0-0 draw with Sheff Utd August Results Southampton vs Sheff Utd (CCC) Drew 0-0 Hereford vs Southampton (LCR1) Won 0-2 (goals by Svensson, Palazuelos) Doncaster vs Southampton (CCC) Lost 2-1 (goal by Saganowski) Southampton vs Wolves (CCC) Won 2-1 (goals by Saganowski x 2) Southampton vs Middlesboro (LCR2) Lost 3-2 (aet) (goals by Saganowski x 2) Barnsley vs Southampton (CCC) Drew 1-1 (goal by Palazuelos) An indifferent start to the season - I hope things pick up in September! No Signings since Ruben.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

heezablade Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 How's Palazuelos doing? Looks like he's chipped in with a few goals. I've just bought him for Blackpool, got Wright-Phillips as well (17k bargain!). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobFenech Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 Yeah he is superb in the Championship - I finished the first season, but my Save became corrupted after a power cut in my area which is why I stopped writing this as i knew it would only go to the end of season 1 Wright-phillips is pony! Palazuelos is superb though - Look out for Darius Vassel on a free at the end of season one, from experience he scores goals for fun in the Championship Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
