Transfer News
Next to leave Manchester City is Japanese goalkeeper Jung Sung-Ryong who leave me for French side Lyon for a fee of £3,500,000.

This is the right move for him as he wasnt been used in my squad and when he was he wasnt upto the standard of ter Stegen, so this move would be good for his career.

A good result which makes me go 2nd in the Premier League with the same points as rivals United with 53 points each, but it goes my way as I have a game in hand over them so it can make me 3 points ahead of United going into the end of January! Good performances from Rossi and Aguero gave me the win against Everton

Nice results craig.

A good result with some of the reserves getting a run out, and yet again my regen from Juventus is on the scoresheet again, he is well worth what I paid for him, lets hope he improves in the future to be a star striker for me.

Result

A good result against Fulham to keep me top by a point ahead of United, I'm not happy condeing goals like this, so I will be looking to let some players go to fund a new back line, defender going out are going to be Musacchio and midfielders Shinji Kagawa and Marko Marin will be making way, along with strikers Devante Cole and Alex Nimely, also try to sell Imbrahimovic too,Adebayor doesn't seem to be agreeing contracts with perspective buyers!

Yeah your defence seems a little weak. Maybe try the likes of Hummels or Howedes.
Vrsaljko is a brilliant right back, and will put in top performances for you, game after game.
It may even be a good idea to change one of your CM players to have the role as a BWM, which should reduce the possesion your opposition can have. Hamsik is a good player for the job, once you train him to have tackling over 16. Danielle De Rossi is great too, but he is slow and prone to red cards. Kroos is great if you can get him to train up in his tackling too.
