End of January Transfer Window Update

Squad



Transfers In

Samir Nasri - £10m
Christopher Samba - £3m
Antonio Barragan has also signed and will join us in the summer.

Nasri will be my midfield playmaker and I was delighted to get him at that price. I went for Matiaz Fernandez first but was putt of by his price of £18m . Samba is a beast in the air and will give me more options in defence and Barragan is a good young RB and will be a good addition to the squad when he arrives.

Transfers Out

Ze Castro - £8m
Mista - £3m

Ze Castro wanted first team football and I was very happy with the price I got for him and Mista was not needed so I sold him.

Things are looking good for us atm. We are top, level on points with Barcelona and are in the Spanish Cup Semis where we will face Sevilla. Also we have reached the second round of the Uefa Cup.

Any suggestions for strengthning??


Have just lost Enyeama and Leo Franco so a new Goalkeeper is top of the list. Any cheaper alternatives to akinfeev etc

I'd get a better DL and GK in mate but otherwise very good squad.

I'm in my second season in charge at VC (playing Full Game, Patch v2). Loving every second.

First Season Results: Won La Liga (by 3 points over Barcelona; from being 16th after 8 games), Won Spanish Cup, Lost in Uefa Cup Final.

Second Season: In December '08; Second in La Liga (on goal difference), just qualified for ECL next round (including hammering Juve 5-0).

Transfers: Riquleme (e2.5million). Star in the middle of the park. Signed in January '08, after no starts at Villareal, and came second
in La Liga Player of the Year. Also bought in First Season: Barzagli, Zaccardo, Radoi, Makoun.
Second Season (in December '08 at the moment): Kameni, Zapata, Quaresma and in Jan '08 getting Cavani.

Notable sold: Reyes, Forlan, All Original Squad Defenders... apart from Ze Castro.

Formation: 3-1-4-1-1, Short, Normal Tempo, Narrow.

Tactics: I find Aguero work best at AMC for me. Riquelme being Playmaker don. Bit short up front, using Garcia as stop gap: Waiting for Cavani arrival in Jan '09.

Forgot to say... I'm always around e8-10 million in debt for the best part of the season. I've managed to recoup loads, most notably from sales of Reyes and Forlan.

I want to improve facilities and youth, but borad always reject cos of lack of funds?

Is anyone else (just about) coping with Finance?

Somebody knows how camacho and Pichu atienza turns out after some seasons? The same goes with all the other youngsters..

I have just started a game with Atletico Madrid. Looking forward to trying to knock Barca and Real of the top of the table.

I am still in Pre-Season at the moment but i have signed Jean II Makoun on a deal worth 8.25m, that signing did upset Motta and Maniche as they are worried about there places but i signed Makoun to replace them players anyway so no problems there. I have also signed Ignashevich on a free to add a bit of depth to the CB position.

I am looking to offload Eller and Santana and will look at transfering out Motta and Maniche to free up some transfer funds.

There is intrest from other clubs for Aguero and Rodriquez at the moment but hope to keep both.

I am looking to play a 4-1-2-2-1 formation with Makoun playing the DM position and Aguero and someone else playing in the AMC positions behind Forlan. I will be testing this through pre-season tho so it may change.

I will update at the end of pre-season.
