Improvements needed to Valencia to challenge Barca.
This is my current team:-
Dean Bozaarris
Rafinha Albiol Alexis DelHorno
Mascherano
Jouqain Vicente
Silva
Villa Aguero
Other key members of the squad are:-
Robinho
Saviola(plays on either wing)
Adriano ( from Inter)
Zigic
Suny
Miguel Velsco (from Sporting, and worth 17M)
Leanardo & Garbbarni (spelling not corrtect but both have good stats for centre backs)
Im just about to start my fourth season. Last seson i was 15 points off leaders Barca, so i need to improve. i have a remaining transfer budget of 9M.
In pre-season i have so far signed Robinho. He cost 25M so the chance was to good to turn down.
The goalkeeper Dean Bozzaris or something like that.(he starts off at liverpool.)
So any suggestions of where to improve? Whether it signings or tactics.

The squad is good enough so its your tactics that are the problem. You should be able to win trophies with that squad. Or atleast be much closer to Barca in the title race. The only obvious place you need to strengthen is LB. Rafinha is not a great defensive RB so you might want a really solid one who can play in matches where the opposition has good wingers.
9M is not much money sadly to buy top quality players. Look for some regens in those positions. There should be plenty quality ones around by now. The only one I can think of who might be affordable is Sakho. He's very solid at LB and can play CB as well when needed. He should be available within your budget unless he's gone to a big team. Look at the transfer listed players and those whose contracts are expiring. I'm sure you'll find some there. :thup:

Wow what a team. To tell you the truth, if you play with the right tactics, you dont even need to make a new signing to win La Liga. The Valencia squad is an excellent one. You will only need to makeminor changes to challenge the CL.
