Oldham Monsters
I spent a fair chunk of my budget towards the end of the window.

Almost £2m spent on 3 midfielders, no older than 21.They'll all be in and around the 1st team. Also coming in are Garcia and Henen on loan, they will add real competition for places.
I'm happy with the players that have come in and feel we should really be able to challenge this season. However, I am disappointed by the lack of players I've managed to move on as this means the wage budget is almost maxed out.

It's not been a great start to the season

In fact, it's been pretty average.4-0 and 3-0 defeats don't make good reading tho. We currently sit 14th after 5 games, but there's plenty of time left to put in a promotion challenge.

Argentinos Monsters
The window closed here too, but we didn't do much last minute business.

Just Tissone on a free, who's a solid holding midfielder. Formerly at Malaga, he's a bit of a coup for us.

We started the league campaign with a win and a draw

The board here also agreed to improve the training facilities at a cost of £750k.

LA Galaxy
The window is still open for domestic transfers here but I didn't make a single signing in August. Mainly due to not having enough spare salary below the cap to tempt anyone. I did however let Giovani Dos Santos head back to Tottenham after he kicked up a bit of a fuss, getting an initial £6.75m and freeing up a DP spot.
Unfortunately, Tripodi, the goalkeeper signed from Argentinos only lasted one match before injuring his cruciate ligament and deciding it was so bad that he retired! So I'm still on the look out for another keeper.

We lost 3 of the 5 games in August, meaning we've dropped to 6th in the Western Conference

Our main problem is not scoring enough goals, we are creating plenty of chances. So I'm sure things will come good eventually!
