Okay, so its my second season, and first season back in the Premier League. My main goal was to stay up in the division, this meant that for this season, i was going to spend as much money as i could without getting into debt. This meant only signing a couple of future prospects, with the bulk of my money going for current decent players. Having won the Chamionship in the previous season, i recieved a staggering £30 million from my chairman to spend, even though i said my season expectation was to be in the relegation battle.
Transfers
Karim Matmour
Frankfurt-Free
Patrick Olsen
Bronby-Free
Jamie Pollock
Motherwell-Free
Harmeet Singh
Valerenga-Free
Martin Angha
Free Transfer
Joselu
Real Madrid- Loan fee £95k
Shay Facey
Brentford- £85k
Kris Stadsgaard
Malaga- £1.6m
Kyle Naughton
Norwich- £1.7m
Ragnar Sigurdsson
FC Copenhagen- £2.8m
Jake Livermore
Tottenham Hotspurs-£2.9m
Sofiane Feghouli
Valencia-£3.2m
Gelson Fernandes
As Saint-Etienne -£3.5m
Matt Phillips
Blackpool-£5m
Luuk de Jong
FC Twente- £7m
All this spending came to a massive £28m, but i had confidence in my signings. I must say Luuk de Jong was my stand out signing as he is regarded as a hot prospect in Holland. Jake Livermore was also a great signing as he was voted as the Premiership's young player of the year in the previous season, so to get him for £2.9m in my opinion was a bargain. I got three defenders in Kyle Naughton, Kris Stadsgaard and Ragnar Sigursson for only £6.1m which isnt bad buisness and will really bulk up my defence. I re-signed Gelson Fernandes who was on loan last season, who put in consistent performances, hence why i re-signed him. Matt Phillips is also tipped for greatness, but i was disapointed that i had to fork out £5m for him.
