:lol: Why did you sign him?
When i signed him i was using a different formation and needed another CB and he could also play midfield.

After his showing in the world cup i will be looking to get rid of him, I knew he was bad but not that bad and definitely doesn't deserve his 92 rating.

Drew 1-1 in both SMFA games. Ando through on away goals, congrats.

Frustrating game. Dominated the first half and scored a goal, then in the second half barely had a sniff and the equaliser was scored on 68' which meant that the tactics I had set for 60' (to be changed if was drawing or losing) didn't go through. Bleh.

Ah, transfer season. Loads of my players seem to be involved this time around.

Done deals
Paul Nardi (20/83 GK) to AS Monaco
Tin Jedvaj (18/82 CB) to Bayer Leverkusen
Marco Benassi (19/83 CM) to Torino

Looking highly likely

Serge Aurier (21/89 RB) to PSG
Bebe (24/84 Fwd) to Benfica
Lazar Markovic (20/88 Fwd) to Liverpool :(
Juan Iturbe (21/87 Winger) to Juventus
Andre Gomes (20/86 CM) to Valencia
Javi Manquillo (20/83 RB) on loan to Arsenal

Barely any my end so far.

I am through to the semi's though of the European Cup and managed to avoid Arsenal in the draw!

btw @Damien, you think staff will allow me to post the gif from Vidal - General Thread into Vidal - Transfer?

Think I'll spruce my team up once the season's finished. I'll consider bids on all players except Courtois, Wilshere & Lukaku.

I've had Markovic since he was just 18/83. He's now 20/88 and a Premier League and Champions League playing player.

Moreno is two years older, 89 rated and just doesn't interest me at all.

Currently, I'm sitting in 7th with a decent amount of points. The season before Wolves finished 14, before that 13th. Quite happy with that given how much work the team needed at the start of the season(and still needs a bit). I'll continue to invest in it this summer, for those looking to sell.
I should also make it known that I'm willing to be a loan team for anyone looking to keep unplayed players happy.

It's a joke amongst a lot of Liverpool supporters. That and "getting Zaffed" by our club doctor.
Yeah I remember seeing loads of him in previous signings, then him being absent for the Markovic one which was weird.

In other news, I've thought about the offer and have decided to politely turn it down.

U21 XI

Nardi (20/83)

Aurier (21/89) Reyes (21/87) Zouma (19/88) Digne (20/88)

Goretzka (19/87) Pogba (21/91) Vilhena (19/86)

Depay (20/87) Markovic (20/88) Iturbe (21/87)​

Here's my squad with possible transfers and the like.

Thibaut Courtois (22/92) GK - Returns to Chelsea from Atletico Madrid, rumours are he'll be 1st choice.
Nemanja Vidic (32/91) CB - Leaves Man United on a free to sign for Inter Milan.
Matija Nastasic (21/90) CB - Possibly being sold once Mangala signed.
Marcos Rojo (24/88) LB/CB - Linked with Chelsea before Filipe signing, still could move elsewhere.
Kwadwo Asamoah (25/91) LM/CM/AM - Nothing I'm aware of.
Luiz Gustavo (26/91) LB/DM/CM - Linked with Real Madrid, nothing concrete.
Alex Song (26/91) CB/DM/CM - Heavily linked with a move away from Barca, several destinations mooted.
Afriyie Acquah (22/85) DM/CM - Back at Parma after an impressive loan at Hoffenheim.
Seamus Coleman (25/90) RB/RM - Linked tentatively with Arsenal, a move away seems very distant.
Ivan Rakitic (26/92) CM/AM - Moved to Barcelona from Sevilla after an impressive season.
Jack Wilshere (22/91) CM/AM - Too important to Arsenal to be linked with moves.
Kevin De Bruyne (23/90) CM/AM - Nothing I'm aware of.
Javier Hernandez (26/91) ST - Heavily linked with moves away, especially with the emergence of Wilson.
Kevin Volland (21/89) RM/ST - Nothing I'm aware of, promising young player though.
Heung Min Son (22/89) RM/ST - Nothing I'm aware of.
Alvaro Morata (21/87) ST - Linked with Juventus with a possible buy back clause.
Enner Valencia (24/86) ST - Expected to complete a move to West Ham soon.
Danny Ings (22/85) ST - Promising young striker, linked with Southampton after the exodus.
Erik Lamela (22/91) LM/RM/ST - Linked away from Tottenham despite costing £25 just 1 year ago.

Won't bother with the youngsters but a few mentions go out to the likes of Morrison, Yedlin, Poyet and the Murphy twins who will probably get loan moves apart from Yedlin who looks to be taken to Europe after an impressive WC showing.
