Borussia Dortmund: Die Schwarzgelben

Is this Adryan really a big deal? I see a lot of people signing him but then updates on him being any good.

I know this will be a great story as it has already started in a great way. Good luck.

James: I know what you mean about the big deal, but I have had him before, he began to develop well (but I stopped before I got to use him). Then again though, for the amount I paid, it's a risk I'd happily take. And thank you for your kind words, means a lot.

James, on my Sporting save, he is absolutely awesome. He develops really quickly, and managed to keep Ricky van Wolfswinkel out of the team

Also Devil, bad pre-season, but well done on the Super Cup win. I often find a poor pre-season leads to a good competitive season, so here's hoping that happens!

Good Luck may you prosper a Die Schwarzgelben versus my Die Fohlen at some stage might be a great game

Transfer Summary

I only bought in the one player, as I didn't feel there was anyone in the market needed, and if they were they did not want to join. I still feel we can succeed with the current team though.

In:
Adryan - Flamengo - £875,000

Out:
Kevin Grobkreutz - Arsenal - £12,500,000
Marcel Halstenburg - Erfurt - Loan
Jeremy Dudziak - Erfurt - Loan
Marvin Bakalorz - Rostock - Loan

I didn't plan for Kevin to leave, but he wasn't in my plans, besides from warming the bench, and when this offer came in, well it couldn't be refused. I am hoping the others out on loan have a successful loan spell too, maybe progressing to the reserves if they do.

Top Transfers

Stevan Jovetic - Fiorentina to Chelsea - £23 million
Fernandinho - Shaktar to Manchester United - £22 million
Kaka - Real Madrid to Manchester City - £18.25 million
Luis Gustavo - FC Bayern to Chelsea - £12.25 million
Toby Alderweireld - Ajax to Arsenal - £11 million
Victor Wanyama - Celtic to Benfica - £9.75 million

PSG became the most active team, buying Benat, Adriano, Wellington Nem, Yossi Benayoun and Daniel van Buyten.

You should get Ademilson mate, he's great and his value in my save 4 season in is 22 million.
