El renacimiento de Valencia ( The Revival of Valencia )

For Years Valencia formed the Big 3 in Spain but in recent years with crippling debt aswell as Managerial upheavel has left Valencia behind the Big 2 in spain and now even some way behind the emerging giant that is Athletico Madrid.

The aim of this is to challenge for this title.



You join me in this story halfway through my second season and things are really starting to ramp up.

This is how the first season finished up, many wont be too suprised and the board were happy enough with this finish however it wasnt all rosey, within february i was nearly sacked and was actually given an ultimatum by the board to get 10 points in 5 games or loose my job and an unbeaten streak towards the end of the season resulted in a rise from 10th to 6th.


These are the transfers made in the first season.
Jefferson Montero has been a bargain and an absolute revolution, speedy, tricky and gets the odd goal. Bargain for just over 1 million
Manoel was brought in to fit the system were i need fairly pacey centre backs, with costa and matthaeu not quite fitting the bill.
Aurier was brought in as a direct replacement for Perriera who wasnt good enough, had a big ego and was too old.
Pugliese is too add to the great youth at the club.


This brings us to season 2 - As you can see we are third however we are some bit away from the big 2, we beat Real Madrid once this season and have been competitive against Real Madrid and Barcelona but have been beaten quite comfortably. So my aim is to slowly build and challenge them,


We have also Further strengthened this season with two great free signings in Tom Ince and Rode, both great young prospects on a free transfer and decent wages, We then decided to permanently sign Vargas as he was great and is everything we need on the wings, great pace and technique aswell as an eye for goal. We also then brought in Batshuayi who was a well needed addition up front and hopefully that goal scorer we have missed


Below is our Starting 11 when everyone is fit

Thanks for the comments guys!!!!

Ok So end of Season 2:
We finished in a very respectable 3rd place only a mere 7 points behind the big 2!!! Great improvment in my eyes, we were also 20 points ahead of our nearest competition in 4th place, we had some stutters at the start of the season and some thumpings from the big 2 which kept us behind but still another uplift. All i want to do is improve on points tally every year and ultimately we will be successful


We managed to get some silverware and won the Spanish cup which was great to go alongside our climb in the table, we also got to the Semi-Finals of the Eufa cup and got put out on away goals by eventual winners Liverpool



Transfers:
From Schurrle downwards are the signings made in preperation for this season. As you can see once again we are utilising free transfers, i set this up the same way each year and ensure i have a lot of free wage budget for these signings, we havent got the same budget as Real Madrid and Barcelona so we have to Buy cheap, sell High and replace with higher quality, its a long drawn out process but so far its seemed to work.

As you can also see we have sold more than we have spent so keeping within regulations.


We have also signed up this young lad on a free transfer for next year:


I have also convinced the board to upgrade our youth facilities to improve our home grown quality.

So been on holiday for a few weeks so here is where we are at:

We managed to win the league and what a run it was!!!


We actually only lost 2 games in the whole season, we had a great unbeaten run which ran all the way into February until we eventually lost our first match of the season against Barcelona. And we lost our last match of the season against Real Madrid in a match that didnt really matter to us.

We progressed well in the Champions League, eventually loosing to eventual winners Chelsea in the Quarter final after quite a heavy loss.

This resulted in us growing our stature and resulting in us becoming the 9th best team in the world, climbing closer to that number 1 spot.


Transfers - We have had quite a busy transfer window with some big players out and in and we still have money to spend in the end of it.

We let Otamendi go with the main reason that he was requesting a higher wage and was now 29 years old so we decided to cash in while we could and bring in someone younger with greater potential in Umitti.

I also felt that Batshuayi was too inconsistent and that Mitrovic was more consistent and a more reliable striker and bringing Dybla in on a free transfer will bolster the backups.
