So much to catch up on then, let’s begin with the end of the youth experiment. Despite another fairly successful season 8, I was always looking more towards seniors. With two of my long time youth stars now starting to mature nicely, I decided to keep them and get in a few others to mount a challenge on some senior honours. All I needed was a quality player to start things off. I already had a quality CB along with some decent midfielders, so I decided to go for a striker. After searching round, I found the best weren’t for sale, so reverted to the free agents list. I found this fella. The signing on fee was £2.1m, but when he signed his transfer value was £230k. He was also only 4 * high profile at the time. He’s improved a bit since then.
A season later and my financial projection is still going down, down, down. I’ve figured out that with all these players asking for more and more each season (look at Busta’s demand for starters) I cannot afford to run both a successful youth and senior team, so from now I’m going more for seniors.
Season 9 ends on Wednesday, with auctions on most (I’m keeping and loaning out a few of the better players) of my youth set to end after that. Hopefully I can get my finances going back in the upwards direction, then I can buy some more reinforcements to go with my new superstar striker.
