Khang Zhenjie is a player who I have very high hopes for. I splashed out £20k on him which is my highest fee paid for a player. He can play up front or even behind the striker. He's a player who I think will have a very big future in the game and hopefully become a full international in the future.

7. Uladzimir Yurchanka
Age: 28
Nationality: Belarusian
Apps/Goals (For Shenxin): 30/13
Int. Caps/Goals: 0/0
Former Clubs (Oldest > Recent): Dinamo Minsk, Saturn, Shakhtar Soligorsk, Dnepr Mogilev .

Yurchanka is a main player for this side who I believe should be capped for the Belarus national side soon. He can play on the wing or up top and has done really well for me last season. I was pleased in how he adapted to Chinese football and hope he can continue his good form this season.

45. Terry Envoh
Age: 24
Nationality: Nigerian
Apps/Goals (For Shenxin): 30/16
Int. Caps/Goals: 0/0
Former Clubs (Oldest > Recent): Sharks.

Terry Envoh joined the side last year from Nigerian football last season and did really well, finishing as our top goalscorer. I expect him to play a big part again this season but he's another one that I'm worried that I will lose. His contract is up at the end of this season and is so far refusing to sign a new deal. To top is off fucking Guangzhou are sniffing around him- I'm looking to renew his contract as soon as possible.

9. Dong Fangzhou
Age: 32
Nationality: Chinese
Apps/Goals (For Shenxin): 0/0
Int. Caps/Goals: 13/2
Former Clubs (Oldest > Recent): Dalian, Manchester United, Antwerp, Legia, Portimonense, Mika, Xiangtao.

Former Manchester United legend Dong Fangzhou joined the club on a free transfer this Summer. Since leaving Manchester United, he was been pretty much of a journeyman. However, he was with Xiangtao for five seasons before joining me and bagged 16 goals last season- despite it being in the league below this one.

12. Yang Zi
Age: 27
Nationality: Chinese
Apps/Goals (For Shenxin): 31/14
Int. Caps/Goals: 0/0
Former Clubs (Oldest > Recent): Hangzhou, Sanchao.

When I joined the club Yang Zi scored 9 goals for me in 9 matches and was a key player for me. Last season, he was very unfortunate and hardly played but he did manage to score a few goals. As you can see above, his stats with Shexin are quite impressive.

Right, that's my players hope you appreciate it.

excellent squad analysis Fola really helped me see what players you have available. Well done on taking in taking the time to do it

I agree with george, really good player presentation. I miss the crack head, though...

Very Good!

I can say that your team can make good thins in Chinese Super League this season. And, Fangzhuo is really a legend, I Hope you'll use him in the 11 starting!

Shenxin - Season Five (1/3)

Really good start to this season and we are sitting in 2nd position. In ten matches, we have only lost once and that was due to a goal against Shenhua in injury time. Zhang Fenyu has replaced Kassio as our goalscoring centre back and is really impressing me this season, at both ends of the season. It was really good to beat Guangzhou as well, Jailton Paraiba was marked out of the game whilst Fengyu beat his former centre back partner Kassio to head in the winner.


---

I've said he can leave the club but hoping he will cure his home sickness and decide to stay. He started off quite well so it'd be a shame to lose him.

Amazing season!

Elmunir obviously has problems to learn the chinese language!

The difference is the money in China is unbelievable. The table below shows how tough it will be for us ever to create a competitive challenge for the title. As you can see, Guangzhou are a class above in terms of finance- that's how they managed to get Kassio and Jailton Paraiba.

Shenxin - Season Five (2/3)

Twenty games gone and we seem to have lost our chance of winning the title. We have played one game for than Guangzhou who are leading but we are five points behind them, probably going to be stretched to eight points. We've struggled with injuries and Yurchanka has been ruled out for the rest of the season so our squad is pretty weak now. Aiming to finish top four, I'd be really happy with that.

Last season's top goalscorer Terry Envoh, is refusing to sign a new contract so I'll probably be looking to sell him before the season ends. Guangzhou are showing interest so they'll probably take him, like they did Kassio and Jailton Paraiba who are both doing well there. It's a shame because we really are just a selling club now, progression to the top will be really tough.

No chance. The indian David Beckham is going NOWHERE!

With 8 games to go, I have decided to let last seasons top goalscorer, Terry Envoh leave the club after he was refusing to sign a new deal. He will continue to be in my starting eleven for the rest of the season as we push for that third position and the last Champions League place. However, on the down side he joins Guangzhou, the biggest club in China and the moneybags of the league.


He joins my former players Kassio and Jailton Paraiba and they have also shown an interest in Yurchanka. They seem to have no scouting system and just pinch my best players! Disappointing to lose him but I think I may have got an adequate replacement.

Estonian international Fabrice Kouadio joins the club at the end of the season when Envoh leaves. Kouadio was actually born in Ivory Coast but has since gained citizenship in Estonia and has gone on to feature for their national side. He's a quick striker which will hurt teams, bit disappointed with his strength but hopefully he'll be okay. As you can see below, he's been scoring regularly in the Estonian leagues for a good few seasons.

Another player wanting to leave the club. It's so frustrating as we just can't keep any players of quality with us for a long period of time. Addy joined the club in the Summer as a replacement for Kassio and to be honest, he's been a class above the rest. If we do lose him, hopefully we can get a good fee for him as he has three years remaining on his contract.

Shenxin - Season Five (3/3)

Qualified for the Champions League!


Brilliant end to the season ensured we qualified for the Champions League for the first time in the club's history, despite being predicted to finish 7th. We only lost one match in the last ten games and strangely that was against bottom side Xiangtao. It all went down to the last day and despite us being without Yurchanka for the last ten matches, we managed to oust rivals Shenhua.

I'm really pleased because we now should be able to attract better players and hopefully keep hold of my better players. Hopefully we can compete in the Champions League. One down point is that Guangzhou (with Kassio and Jailton Paraiba) won the league and will also have my star striker, Terry Envoh playing for them next season.

Making progress here, mate.

Guangzhou look miles in-front size & money-wise but even getting 2nd and a good run in the CL next season for you will be further progress

Goalkeepers

Liu Dianzuo was again my main goalkeeper and he has managed to be capped twice by the national side. He is now worth £100k and has really impressed me. I fully expect him to be my number one for the next few seasons- it's a shame for Xiyuan because he's a Chinese under 21 international but Dianzuo has been consistently good the last few seasons.

Defenders

Lee Addy was a class above the rest at the back and gained a 7.89 overall rating. He did say he wanted to leave but hopefully now after we've qualified for the Champions League, he'll stay with us. Zhang Fenghu managed to score 11 goals from centre back and finished as my top goalscorer, mainly all from set pieces. Despite his goalscoring prowess, I think I'll be looking to replace him for a better partner alongside Addy. Don't think I'll change any of the rest of the back four, all the back up/full backs did well.

Midfielders

Boajie and Jaiyu were my main centre midfielders for the second consecutive season and were really impressive. Both managed to score quite a few as well so they won't be changing next season. Kang Zhenjie was mainly used as a striker but I do like his versatility. Elmunir, despite doing well for us when he played still wants to leave the club so will be sold in the Summer. Alex Patil, my little gem from India was given more game time this season and did well for me. Bit biased but I don't care...

Strikers

Shame Terry Envoh is leaving because he's a really good player, hope my replacement can settle into Chinese football quickly. Yang Zi and the Dong will leave the club in the Summer so the attack needs strengthening.

Yeah, my aim is to try and catch them up but like you said, the finances will probably stop that. Thanks for the comment mate.

I hope you can take out Guangzhou this season as redemption for stealing your players!

I'm sure you'll manage it amigo. Your heading in the right direction! KIU
