Time for an Update

In January, I made two signings.

Eddie Johnson for 5 mil!

Michael Johnson from Citeh for 12.75mil!

Alex left for 7.5 mil over 24 months to Sporting, Darren Ward to Norwich for 325k, Carlos Edwards went to Parma for 9 mil over 24 months.

I'm 13th in the table, Played 26, Won 9, drew 5, lost 10.

Next three games;

Chelski home

Man You Away

Liverpool Home

I'm on a 2 game unbeaten run, 2 hard games though! Newcastle and Arsenal they were.

Important Games;

Newcastle 2-2 Safc

Sunderland 2-2 Arsenal

Chelsea 1-0 Safc

Safc 1-3 Man You

Liverpool 2-1 Safc

Hull 1-5 Safc

Bristol City 1-7 Safc

Safc 0-0 Scumcastle

AND!!!!!!

Arsenal vs. Safc

4 mins in and Eddie sends Michael through, and he scores, Johnsons combine well.

11 mins in and roles reversed, 2-0

Adebayor scores sometime

75th min and McShane drags Vela to the floor, hmm ten men, I'll go on the counter I think to myself.

3 minutes later and MJ's header is saved, rebound by EJ, 3-1.

Then Adebayor scored again.

Full Time!!!!! I win, I win, I win!

you won't be able to get a keeper to join you who is as good let alone better than gordon at start of ur 2nd season. and if you even contemplating selling gordon at least get 30mill plus, possible decent keeprs include:

Boruc

Ustari

De sanctis (sometimes free or cheap seocnd season)

Marco Amelia

any of them should go to sunderland but gordon is probably better by quite a long way. ;-)

improve you defenders is a good thing to do tho cos for me only mcshane is that good, anderson still plays but i bought breno in from sao paulo.

ive also signed bojinov for upfront, and got pippo inzaghi on season loan (second season)

i wouldn't dream of selling gordon for less than 40 mill persoanlly.

FFS! Just finished third season (came ninth).

Gordon requests transfer, NO I say!

He puts transfer request in, NO again!

Pompey enquire, 100mil, 50% add on.

They withdraw, Arsenal make 35 mil bid, Quinn accepts!

I'm gonna go after Ustari but come on! Quinn would not intervene like that!

Anyway, I managed to come 9th in the table after losing 2 of my last 14 games.

Top Scorer

Defoe 14 (injured for four month)

Radoslaw Matusiak 11

Eddie Johnson 9 (signed in Jan)

David Bentley 8 (injured for 2 month)

Top Avg Rating

Eddie Johnson 7.31

Michael Johnson 7.20

Dean Whitehead 7.15

Jemain Defoe 7.12

David Bentley 7.03

cant remember his age but the polish i think keeper, boruc looks good. hes not for the future tho.

schmeichel was great on 07 havent seen him late on in 08 tho but maybe worth a look.

possibly ochoa? work permit might be issue but dunno by where you are.

de sanctis and marco amelia are both good italian keepers. again not a clu where they'll be by your game.

apart from keepers: if you want a DC look at Breno, brazalian originally at sao paulo.

sivok (DM) has played well for me.

i got bojinov hes played very well.

perhaps new full backs? not sure whos a likely option for sunderland tbh, maybe faubert or shorey for attacking options.

Ustari rejected me, there's no left-backs so I'll have a look at them players you've mentioned. Thanks.

Ty for the advice Black cats rule.

Into January on my second Season and i am currenty 6th in the Premier Divsion.

Notable victories include a 2-0 Victory over Man utd and 2 1-1 draws with Arsenal.

Summer signings:

Theo Wallcott for 5mill (found him lurking in Arsenal reserves lucky me.)

Eddie Johnson from the championship for 5mill been banging in the golas for me.

Flamini from Arsenal spent last season on Loan with me (alot of the players have in their notes think he will be a quality player guess this is a very good thing?)

Got a few problems firstly Billy jones who i got from Crewe ( if you havnt signed him do so hes currently keeping gerrard out of the England squad.) He is unsettled cause many clubs are bidding for him so should i just sell him for alot or is there any way and i can keep him and make him happy?

Also Stokes Doudin (pro Swiz yougnster) and Eddie Johnson are my current main goalscorers, they seem to miss loads of chances and i mean as much as 4 one on ones with the keeper a match but i normally get at least 1-2 goals is this just a bug or shud i look at replacing them?

You should of held out for more on Whitehead, he's the club captain!

Who did people actually name as captain and vice-captain on their game?

1st Season: C: Whitehead, v-c: Nyron

2nd Season C: Whitehead, v-c: Gordon

3rd Season: C: Whitehead, v-c: Christopher Samba

is halford still high quality further in when expectations begin to rise then? cos i play them mainly as wing backs anyway which he can play or sometimes i sue edwards ifi want a more attacking approach, but thought they might not be hgih quality when im aiming european qualification etc.

i play 3 CB - mcshane, breno and anderson but might replace anderson soon cos he keeps making silly mistakes.

He's been poor for me this season but a cant change a winning team for the next game, I won away to Arsenal, 2nd season in a row! 3-1!

yeh hes CM but can play any of the attacking mid positions. if you in first or 2nd season i strongly recomend him. even if you later hes probs great but perhaps not worth the money as his age, his only real weakness is his pace but he really makes up for it with vision and passes.
