Mr Connelly presented as manager of Arsenal on July 5th and asked to meet expectations on qualifying for the champions cup though the league with a nice transfer budget of £50.59m, first I knew I had to sort out the squad in terms of getting the deadwood out and new talent in.
I managed to strike a deal with Sevilla for Negrado which would have cost me £14.5m (which I don’t think is too bad for a goalscorer) but he failed a medical (pretty annoying) but I moved on the other targets and signed,
Ibrahim Afellay Barcelona £1.7m
Marouane Fellani Everton £15m
Aly Cissokho + Kim Kallstrom both Lyon £19m
Christian Maggio Napoli £7.25m
Loic Remy Marseille £23.5
Managed to get rid of a few players as well such as Ramsey £6m, Park chu-young £3m, Chamakh £6m, Rosicky £2.5m.
I am pretty pleased with my transfers but not so much with me pre-season results in which I lost 2 (Peterborough and Hearts) and won my other 4 games against Sporting, Derby, Colorado and Scunthorpe
