for both edu and corluka i signed them without the WP and then put them in my reserves for a couple of months, then decided to try and renew their contracts changing the squad status ie. first team to key player they both got WP's

struggling a bit now, beat arsenal 5-2 away from home and end up losing to the likes of man city 4 nil..inconsistancy sucks donkey..owen is poor, viduka has gone off the boil, martins is ****, iversen is yet to score..eddie johnson is my best striker..

arteta is awesome but injured along with modric again..

pique and taylor have been the best defensive partnership i've had, although letting a few goals in

good signings, think £10.25m for Giles Barnes is a lot (but he is the reason Derby got promoted so proberly we be a good signing)

unfortunatly i am not doing this challenge as i have a sign up going, but i like to watch the progress of the people taking part
