k, Moving along...

I went looking for a commercial affliate from the board. Wasn't given the option. Was told they would find an affliate for me. Sucks, but hopefully I get some decent seletcions.

I named my coaching staff. Rene Meulensteen will be my reserves coach and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be my u18 coach.

My staff is being poached as we speak. Lyon has given an offer to one of my scouts, Gilles Rouillon. I'm sure he'll accept. He's going back to his homeland...

Season expectations have been given to me by the board. I indicated to them that I would win the league and as you can see, I got a bump in wage money and transfer money.

So with regards to my hunt for a striker. I checked to see if I could get a "star" player on a free. No dice. Then, I thought, who can I get on a loan. First name to pop up in my mind was... ADRIANO!!! So, I put in a loan bid of 70 percent wages (the board would only allow 52k in wages and he earns 72k) and a future fee of 15 million. 2 million more than he is valued at. Hopefully Inter accept, otherwise I'll have to look at making an outright purchase of someone this season.

Having a quick look at forward valuations, I'm beginning to compile a list of forwards that I can work into United's budget and can be immediately effective. Here is the forward list (Didn't go lower than 3.6ish million)

(have no idea why several the pics are showing that way. Not retaking them...
