Kenywe is doing great for me. Played the demo and hes rates the 4th best prem player and 2nd highest goal scorer. Im playing a 4-3-2-1 formation and he's the lone striker.

The board gave me very little money at the start but have coughed up since. Still nothing compared to waht Keano gets!

Also signed Doudin cheap and hes starting to come good and arsenal are interested

Got Daniel Jensen and hes proved to be a great buy. Also got a guy called Gargula and hes getting on good too.

13th in the prem in jan

Paolo di Canio, jeez he's 39, hows he doing for you.

Brought in Sergey Ignashevich on a free, also went for Jonny Evans on loan and also Eric Addo for a free to try and shore up my defence.

I've also went for Savo Milosevic at the very begining, He does a better job than Jones and Chops, also look at Piatti (sp - poss piatto) also another good young defender is Jordy Buijs (thank god he isnt one of the black and white variety) Certainly one for the future.

Other players ive signed are Dzsudzsak for £160k and Super Kev for £120k. Also go for Haested at the begining, Class act, but to get him I had to sell Nos : (

had addo on the demo and he was sh%t, every month my report from the board said, 'you need to justify the signing of addo' - so didn't go for him in the full game. gusev is a good signing from CSKA moscow (free too) but he is way better than edwards, maybe patrick should rethink his pecking order.

but i'm sure as you all have noticed the problem with sunderland is they're ***** - oh and no money to fix said *****.

on reflection - so as to not seem like i'm taking a dig at other's buys and selections - rasiak was a mistake. spent way too much on him (over twice his value) and haven't seem anyting spectacular from him - eh well I still think I'll do better than roy this season lol!

Jones looked pretty damned impressive today against West Ham.
