Season 40

[Bluebird Hewitt]

Won my cup game 2-0 at home against Giresunspor, the goals coming from Gussago and Sutcu.

Happy with the start, especially as no away goals were conceded, but I still have the away leg to play which will be tough.

On a bit of transfer news, on the Scout list, I can see a 22yo DR/DC with the corner taker SA at Q54 who would easily get into my team. It sounds perfect................except I don't necessarily need him (Need a DL and MC more than anything). Should I still go for him regardless?

You've got plenty of T haven't you at the moment, I'd sign him right away, I need a DC/DR scout. that would of been perfect for me if that sort of player appeared on my list.

Following the advice of the wise one, I have made my first signing of the season by signing 22yo James Kay from the scout list, who is a Q54 DR/DC and has the Corner Taker SA (If he ends up being anything like my other corner specialist DC Zouhair Van Ryckegem in corner taking, I could see a fair few goals coming from that set piece). He is also only 7 SP from being 7*.

Due to this signing, it was a sad day at the club as 24yo Playmaker Joe Hamlin, the only player I had left from the very beginning, was sold for £2.8m (£1m over the market value). I would have liked to keep him seeing as he could play DMC as well, but his training was becoming very slow and he only just managed to be a 4* at the end of last season, so there was no point in keeping him anymore.

I have two youth players in two days time, so almost any position should be fine OTHER than DC or DR. What's the odds that both youth players will be that?
