TRANSFER ROUND UP
Arrivals: Celso Borges, Vito Mannone, Ademilson, Adryan, Stephen McGinn, Mark O'Brien, Kiko Femenia, Jack Robinson.
Departures: Ludovic Sylvestre, Alex John-Baptiste, Elliot Grandin, Angel.
ARRIVALS
Celso Borges: Arrives from AIK with 1.8 million fee.
Why: Great player and distributes the ball perfectly.
Vito Mannone: Arrives from Arsenal on loan.
Why: Mark Halstead is my second keeper and sucks. He is going to be a sub.
Ademilson: Arrives from Sao Paulo with a 5.25 million fee
Why: Great wonder kid and the 5.25 million fee is going to be a bargain in a few years. In the last update, you can see that he has already scored two goals.
Adryan: Arrives from Flamengo with a 875k fee.
Why: Great player and he will be a key-player in this season.
Stephen McGinn: Arrives from Watford with a 1 million fee.
Why: He's a substitute and with the departures of two CM's I needed some back up. He has performed great so far.
Kiko Femenia: Arrives from Barcelona "B" with a 750k fee.
Why: I needed a replacement for Eardley if he gets injured or tired. Scored a goal in his debut!
Mark O'Brien: Arrives from Derby with a 3.7 million fee.
Why: Mark or The Boy Wonder recommended me and he is a wonder kid as well.
Jack Robinson: Arrives from Liverpool on loan
Why: Stephen Crainey isn't getting any younger and he is injured for a month to two. Fiew!
DEPARTURES
One of the things I liked about selling all these players is that their contracts were expiring in the summer.
Ludovic Sylvestre: Leaves for Wolves on a 2.4 million fee.
Why: He wasn't any good and a 2.4 million fee is a good sell in my opinion.
Alex John-Baptiste: Leaves for Nottingham Forrest on a 3.3 million fee.
Why: He's decent, but when Forrest came knocking with a fee like that, I accepted it.
Elliot Grandin: Leaves for Bolton on a 1.4 million fee.
Why: Phillips, Ince and Taylor-Fletcher are my three wingers and he was not needed. 1.4 million is a good fee.
Angel: Leaves for Derby on a 3.2 million fee
Why: He isn't that good and he was transfer listed as a result. Thank God, Derby wanted him.
