Thanks guys - Yeah I have been chasing Rio since the first season. He hasn't generated with as good stats as he ususally does but he's still a good prospect. As for Solskjaer I will always love him but he was always either injured or not scoring so it had to be done. He'll probs be a world beater now i've let him go

Well Phil Neville was certainly a shock, especially given that he really hadn't been all that great... and people like Bakayoko and Owen scored 20+ goals this season... but whatever. Del Piero takes the big prize after guiding Italy to the World Cup

Had bids accepted for Zidane, Roberto Carlos, Simeone, Nesta, Maldini, Davids but all of them have rejected me . At least I'm dreaming big

Sheff Wed still wont accept any bids for Alexandersson, and Ferdinand looks like he is gonna be out of contract at West Ham so I may be able to nick him

Got some good defensive cover in.

West Ham let Rio's contract expire so I nipped in. Like I said his stats haven't generated anywhere near as good as they usually do but theres some decent foundations there. If he grows into a star then great... if not then its not much of a loss as he only cost me 700k

German international Stefan Reuter comes in to provide experience and versatility at Full Back. He was a Free Transfer after his contract at Dortmund expired

Players Out so far - Brown continues to develop out on loan, Clegg could go now I have Reuter in. Notman I let go as it was a decent enough bid and he was probably the worst of my young strikers. Nevland will get a season to impress on loan otherwise he will go too. Solskjaer regrettably leaves for Blackburn but it was a good price. Sheringham has also been listed and that will probably be that for players out.

I hear you though... I hear you saying "Why the hell would you let 3 young and very talented strikers leave Sam... why... oh why!?"

Don't worry guys, I have it covered...

A solid but not spectacular start to this season. We really haven't played very well at all but have still been managing to grind out positive results. We were top until that last game where we were spanked by Newcastle. A bit of context for that result - Schmeichel went off injured after 10 mins and I don't play a keeper on the bench so Nicky Butt had to go in goal. Our defence has been solid yet again this season (with the exception of that 1 result). I really need to get us attacking better though, the goals have just flowing as much as usual, probably no coincidence that Bakayoko has been out injured pretty much the whole time, Ronaldo also hasn't settled as well as I'd like.

In fact the frustration of not being able to get many players in is made even more annoying by the fact that I have been getting injuries constantly this season (probably to make up for how few I had last season) and its wrecking my small squad.

As if that Newcastle game wasn't bad enough...

The proper Ronaldo! although I do love the fact you lost 7-0 at St. James' Park although I shouldn't 'brag' considering the circumstances of losing your first choice goalkeeper Schmeichel to a broken pelvis, an injury in any CM/FM game I've never seen before.

Yeah hopefully a great partnership for years to come. I went for VDS but Ajax wont take any bids for him. I have signed a keeper though and I'll update later on

The double combination of losing the keeper and having to put Nicky Butt in goal for a game against another top team must've been great, no?

And yeowzer that's an injury haha. I'm liking the retro gameplay though.

I must admit it did tickle me a little bit to be honest. But I've gotta give the other teams hope right?

Again, tried to get him but they wouldn't take any bids. I opted for a more short term solution... though he's of similar age to Schmeichel anyway so it makes no difference

World class replacement, especially so quickly so I'm very pleased. Van Der Sar is my ideal long term replacement
