The Mercenary

@J_ames: I got Rio Adebisi - not quite the same technical prowess, but he's a good kid with excellent athletic abilities, much needed for the running he'll be expected to do.

@Maxporto: He is indeed. And it has been a great start and appears to be solid as we move towards the busy Christmas period.

NTBgaming: We'll have to see about that. My reputation remains quite low, though hopefully a promotion will bump it up.

Tango: No, no offers yet. I don't think I'd accept an offer until the end of the season anyway on this form, but it would've been nice to be liked. Last year, I had a save with the same trajectory as this one, same club, same reputation, and must've had 3 or 4 offers by now, so I'm not sure where they're at.

J_ames: I'm quite happy with the snowballing of our form on from last year; I'm confident now that we'll make it to the next league, but I'll consider my future when that's secure... Fat Ladies and all that.

Tango: It most certainly hasn't dented us - Sam Osborne and Jack Stobbs are good players, but ever since Cole Dasilva, we've always played down the left, eh. So we've been fortunate that an injury and transfer crisis has fallen on our weak side, rather than the one we actually use. I'd rather break my left arm than my right.

@J_ames: Thanks a lot, it certainly snowballed in an explosive way which I'm pleased about, and cup success is a highlight, in line with the priorities of the save.

@Tango: Try to survive over the weekend until the next update!

@maxporto: Thanks a lot. Didn't have any luck over the summer, but keeping my eyes peeled for a new challenge as soon as possible.

@Tango: Ha, didn't even notice that! Hopefully will be the last time we ever see it, as I don't expect to return to this level in my career, unless things go seriously wrong!
