Cheers mate!
I tried to bring him in, but he wants HoYD and the current one is much better. I'll try and tempt him with u21 manager if he leaves Man City.

1. Bring back some familiar faces from that wonderful season. First came the one and only Dennis Bergkamp, who better to coach ball control? Also Martin Keown has been promoted to defence coach.
2. Sort out the centre back situation. We only really have three centre backs, one of whom is the wrong side of 30 and I just don't see Paulista good enough. Some younger players will be needed here, preferably with some pace.
3. The midfield needs toughening up. We have all the flair in the world but where are the Patrick Viera's and Gilberto Silva's. Mikel Arteta will do for now but he's not really the mould I am looking for.
4. The left wing was Arsenal's showpiece that season. The way Ashley Cole, Robert Pires and Thierry Henry linked up was masterclass. This will be the toughest to implement.

It didn't make much difference though...

Not 100% set with my tactics yet but I'm fairly happy with it. As you could guess I'm going for a 4-4-2 similar to what they played that season.

Aye it was pretty easy and went out the Scottish Cup on pens, hopefully hit the treble next season!
#255519 Celtic

Time to improve the squad and push on for the treble next season and build on the European performance.
Pre-season is going well, I managed to bring in a few new faces. Will probably bring in a few more in the coming weeks.
Next update; Pre-season and team/tactics.
#254065 Celtic

Currently at the beginning of February, still in all competitions and doing pretty well. We sit 18 points clear at the top of the table and managed to progress through this group despite being bottom on the final day.
I pretty much copied the real life transfers brining in Armstrong and Mackay-Steven, they were joined by Diskerud on a free transfer. All of whom have been great so far. van Dijk was unhappy I knocked back a bid from Arsenal so when they came in with another of £12m + 20% of any profit so I negotiated it for the end of the season and it was a done deal.
Next update will probably be the end of the season in a few days or something.

I may have just done my best bit of FM business to date. With Victor Valdes available on a free I took advantage of interest in Diego Alves, to the tune of £12 million. The money was used to bring in Virgil van Dijk from Celtic.
Juve activated Pablo Alcacer’s release clause - £15.25 million – he was a tough player to replace. Can Bojan live up to his early expectations or will he flop again? I also brought in Mikel Arteta and Guillermo Burdisso on loan to beef up the squad.
Perhaps a tactical re-think is in order?

The league table looks even more strange this time round. Now Levante sit top, closely followed by Athletico. Both Barca and Real Madrid out the top 4 however if Madrid win their games on hand they move top. We drop a spot to 8th as Barca leap frog us. Incredibly we went 6 games without a win and just dropped one place.
Now time to use that transfer budget wisely and bring in some players.

Just loaded up and received this message, fantastic. Will need to spend it wisely in January, however I have my first signing already, unfortunately he can't play until January as I forgot about squad registration. Pablo Aimar returns to the club, for a second spell, on a short term deal.
#218757 The Rise of Valencia

A pretty strange looking league table, if we could emulate our home form on the road we have a real chance of challenging. Paco Alcácer has been the stand out so far along with, surprisingly, fullback José Luis Gayá. Had quite a few injuries, nothing too serious but with such a small squad it really its hard.

Transfer budgets are disabled in the first window so I have a rather small squad to work with the coming season, I can't even dip my toes into the free transfer market as we are £2.5k p/w over budget. I did however managed to bring in my own backroom staff, all English speaking, including two former managers.
Goals for the season
- Rock the 4-4-2
- Maintain a strong Spanish presence in the squad
- Finish higher than last season - 8th
- Reach the Copa del Rey semi final

As you already know my long term goal is to split Barca and Madrid regularly, and then hopefully make a dent in the Champions League. I see this as a huge task and 5 year project. The club has a healthy bank balance but massive debts, meaning I will have to take a sustainable approach when building the squad.
#218030 The Rise of Valencia

What was drawing me to Roma was when I chose my starting XI the average age was 29, it looked like an opportunity to totally rebuild the squad. However they are the only real challengers for the title in Serie A. So it wouldn't be much of a challenge.
I have decided to go with Valencia, what sealed the deal for me was my 28 year old Scottish assistant manager - Ian Cathro - that gave me an idea that I will come to later. Another point I liked is they are due to move to a new 75000 seater stadium - the Nou Mestella.
Time to mix things up in La Liga..

Roma: Juventus have dominated Serie A for a number of years now, and before them the Milan sides. It has been 13 years since the Giallorossi last lifted the Scudetto. The squad is ageing and I don't see much in terms of quality for Totti etc. to pass the torch on to. Also I haven't managed in Italy since the good ol' days of Champ Man; mainly due to co-ownerships - never liked the idea of it. So it seems a good time to give it a try since they outlawed it.
Vaencia: Atlécio showed that season that La Liga can still be won out with Barca and Madrid. Why not Valencia? They last won it in the 03/04 season and have a young talented squad. Again it has been some time since I managed anyone other than Barca in La Liga. The strike partnership of Negredo and Alcácer is tempting.
Everton: They are a club I really like, and have managed on most versions of the game. However I find with the money and reputation of the BPL it becomes quite easy to build up a squad. They have come strength-to- strength over the past couple season and with some work could be a top 4 conteder within a season or two.
Any comments/advice will be taken on board. I feel Roma are in the lead at the moment, however I will give it a few days to have a look through each squad and listen to any comments.

Pre-seaon started off well but form plummeted after 2 wins in a row. I did make some tactical changes so I will take that into consideration, as that was the whole point of this pre-season. I also managed to get rid of most of the deadwood, unfortunately having to pair a fair amount to release some high earners. The only signing as of yet has been John Guidetti who scored 39 goals for us last season.
I will be looking to bring in a right winger and replace any players I receive good bids for.
#217784 FM15: Celtic

I have a good budget for what I plan to do. I already have John Guidetti secured and Jason Denayer for another year. First step is to get rid of some fringe players and reduce the squad size, youth players will supplement the small squad size. If you take into consideration everyone at the club 21 or over and include those returning from loan, I currently have 38 first team players. That means that at least 25 have to go, either on loan of transfer.
At the moment I only have one transfer target in mind but I will come to that in a later update. The players kept/brought in will have to bring something to the table in terms of the new set up.

So the season is finished, we wrapped up a treble and done relatively well in Europe. Not happy with the league table though, the goal next season is 30 wins. I will reshape the squad to be more balanced and stable defensively.
Other competitions were pretty interesting. Starting close to home, Alloa won the Scottish Championship and Hearts were promoted through the play-off. Also amazingly, Benfica won the Champions League.
Top goalscorer - John Guidetti (30 goals/11 assits)
Most assists - Stefan Johanson (4 goals/17 assits)
MVP - Kris Commons (10 goals/10 assits)

A ropey few months to sat the least. We couldn't really get a run of form going, I hope to revive the form of September/October towards the end of the season. About time to evaluate the squad and bring in the right players to play the 4-1-4-1 more effectively.

Another good month in January. We managed to extend the gap to 6 points and book a spot in the League Cup Final. John Guidetti was on fire this month and agreed a pre-contract with the club until 2018. Next up will be my transfer activities.
