I was going to bring in Pickford, but he's not really an upgrade. I've got my eye on a couple of others as well if I can afford them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes all first choice, capitalising on their players moaning about not being in CL Here's another potential one: Just need to raise a bit more cash to get the deal through.

smp20 Posted September 25, 2018 Author Share Posted September 25, 2018 The sale of Nketiah, albeit under his £45m value, gave us the fund to complete the signing of Harry Kane. If there is any striker worthy of Shearer's no. 9 shirt, its Kane. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodesire Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Jeez, how are your finances looking? You've been spending enormously, with at least 200M in instalments to pay yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're looking okay - TV money, CL money and 60k stadium sell outs are giving us a solid foundation, plus the money we've made from selling players. But you're right, a lot of transfer debt still to pay off - it's at £177m at the moment! Think it's time to cut back the spending now the team is all set up.

smp20 Posted September 26, 2018 Author Share Posted September 26, 2018 2021/22 Mid Season Update Premier League After the Burnley game we broke the 14 game record winning streak in the PL, but we've had moments of struggle since then. Last season we finished 19-0-0 at home, but we've now deawn 1 and lost 1 at home vs our biggest title rivals. We had a run of big wins in November, but heavy defeats away to Arsenal and West Ham in December has shown the frailties of our approach. Teams are sitting more this season, and if they're swift on the counter and get it wide before our full backs have recovered then we are torn apart. We're still in a title challenge, with the surprise of West Ham up there too. We've already lost more games than last season, but other big sides have also dropped a lot of points. Champions League Comfortably through to the knockouts to face Milan who will prove a tough challenge. League Cup Finally a run in the league cup, a competition Newcastle have never won.

Think he's still out left wing most games so just shoehorned into the 11. 60k is max expansion capacity so any further upgrades will be via a new stadium. Keegan Park?

smp20 Posted September 27, 2018 Author Share Posted September 27, 2018 March 2022 Update A great run of form (bar a disappointing home draw against Southampton) came to a crushing end with two defeats in vital games, losing the cup final followed with a loss at Old Trafford. A bitterly disappointing defeat, one we definitely should have won on paper and on the day. Watford tucked away all 3 of their efforts on target and we were extremely wasteful in front of goal. So with 10 games left we're top on goal difference - the defeat against Utd bringing them level on points. It's a 5-horse title race, Man City recovering after a poor start to the season.

smp20 Posted September 27, 2018 Author Share Posted September 27, 2018 First couple of players from an affiliate club - too bad they're utter crap and so are the result tbh (Danny Walker 1.5-2.5* PA). Steve Sharp still the only top class player through the intakes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
smp20 Posted September 27, 2018 Author Share Posted September 27, 2018 5 games left and 6 points clear. Utd have the easiest run in, while Liverpool have a very tough one. Fantastic form, winning every game except the away leg against Porto. Some exciting Semi-finals ahead! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
smp20 Posted September 27, 2018 Author Share Posted September 27, 2018 Despite losing the previous game 4-0 at Anfield, we came back to win the title in style at home.
