New Kids on the Block

Signings Report: I have to say, I am happy with the signings I have made. Though, we do need a right-back and I would appreciate your recommendations on which right-back I should sign.
David Ospina: Free from OGC Nice
Why: Last season, I commented that I didn't want to have Pegolo as my GK, though I couldn't change that due to the finances the club were having. I am delighted to say Ospina will be our first-team goalkeeper this season.
Sammir: Free from Dinamo Zagreb
Why: I had Ze Eduardo on loan last season and he was exceptional. Sadly, there was no clause and I couldn't buy him. Sammir will take his place and has about 30 apps in European competitions.
Vito Mannone: 1.1 million pounds from Arsenal
Why: He will be my back-up goalkeeper and I was close to sign him on loan in the January transfer window, but the time ran out. Warm bencher at Siena.
Manolo Gabbiadini: Loan from Juventus
Why: I have a plan in mind to get rid of Calaio, whose contract is expiring at the end of the season and I'd like to make some profit. Played some games and scored at my previous story, Norwich.
Mattia Destro: Free from Genoa C.F.C.
Why: At Norwich and several other stories he becomes a great player. He will lead Siena to glory.
Paolo de Ceglie: Free from Juventus
Why: A free transfer and I reckon I could do a deal next season for at least 3 million pounds.
Jose Angel: 1.9 million pounds from Roma
Why: He was transfer listed for 1.9 million pounds and he develops into one of the best left-backs in the world in FM. Bargain.
Giannis Fetfatzidis: 3 million pounds from Olympiakos
Why: I wanted someone who could be like Weiss, as I missed him on a free transfer after he renewed his contract with Pescara. What a miss.
Jeffrey Bruma: Loan from Chelsea (2.8m agreed fee)
Why: I needed CB's and money was running low, so I loaned him with only paying 50% of his wages.
Alessandro Florenzi: 4.1 million pounds from Roma
Why: Great buy, and he will be one of the best CM's in the game. 4.1 million pounds sounded like a total bargain
Marc Muniesa: 5,000 pounds
Why: He was transfer listed by almost nothing, but they wanted their 5k, so I gave them and will be looking forward to watching him in a Siena t-shirt.
