Edin Husic - cheapish DM who can pass the ball pretty well too
Carlos Saez & Samuel - both AM's from Rayo, seem to have a bit of quality for the future
Dor Malul - cheap versatile DR, was highly recommended. looks ok for the price
Mark Howard - solid, young DC for this league. has enough to get by

In my opinion the left side needs strengthening. Chrissy Powell is a legend but is becoming too old. Reid is a natural CM but needs to be played on the left until you get a better winger. 1 more out and out goalscorer wouldn't be a miss, someone like Nicky Maynard, Kevin Phillips or Matty Fryatt would be good.
Players that need to go are Thatcher, Fortune + Thomas. You will get no more than 500k for Thatcher or Fortune but they are not needed at all and are generally clumsy at the back. You can get 1.5m for Thomas, stats wise he isn't that bad but he is very inconsistent and not as good as Reid who isn't a natural winger.
The centre of midfield is very strong but i'm looking at brining in Nacer Barazite as he is all round pretty good and will only get better. A good LB would be Steven Hammell but he could get quite pricy. Putting Moutaouakil/Mills at LB could be a short term solution. Lee Martin on loan from Man Utd will be good enough for the LM spot, possibly Kyel Reid if you can't get Martin. I'm also trying to get Peter Clarke to bolster the defence.
The key players in the team are Cory Gibbs, Luke Varney, Danny Mills and Yassin Moutaouakil. Josh Wright + Harry Arter have alot of potential too.

I'm playing as Southampton. We're rather low on funds (100K transfer fund...)we don't have much in real life , and I've not had much luck selling players, barring Bradley Wright-Phillips, who has a stupid 50% sell on clause, so you only get half the fee...that clause is there in the deal bringing him here, read reports from the time
For some reason, we're predicted to finish 3rd. Last season, we finished 6th, we sold 3 of our best players (Bale, Baird and Jones) and haven't really replaced them, and now we're expected to finish 3rd? What idiot thought of that? the bookies irl had joint 3rd at the start of the season
Anyway, I brought in a few loans - Wheater (DC from 'Boro), Nemeth (ST from Liverpool) and Eagles (AMRC from Man Utd) and they seem to be playing reasonably well.
Good luck with the Saints

Holland is also getting old, although decent all round for the Championship, isn't very creative or good going forward in general.
Ambrose is very inconsistent just like Thomas, though slightly harder working and more of a goalscorer.
