hey im a stoke fan but iv struggled on my game with them and decided on taking up a fresh challenge.
being as most of my family are from middlesbrough and iv been to see them a couple of times i thought id give them a go.
pre season has gone pretty well but im struggling to find any decent players. iv scouted a lot of the players i had at stoke and they have all come back with bad scout reports
Billy Jones
Greg Halford
Billy Sharp
Kasper Schmeichel
The only signing i have made so far is V Hleb for 100k
i have a budget of 5.9 mil
and am particularly looking for a keeper, a centre back, and a striker. I dont really like spending over 1.5 mil per player so im finding it hard. anyone got any suggestions???
