Because I'm such a club whore, I turned down a contract re-newel with ES Troyes AC after 2 seasons, and took up 2 year offer with Fiorentina. The game is currently in August 2011, so the squad looks a little different to sledgers.
I quickly disposed of Jan Kronkamp, who was the first choice right back, and picked up Rafinha for 8m from Atletico Madrid, who were shockingly relegated in 10/11. With the team lacking a proper left midfielder, we forked out another 9m for Pablo Barrientos (OGC Nice), and then another 8.5m for Petri Pasanen from Aston Villa who bolstered a weakness that was the 2nd centreback. I also splashed out 1.2m to pick up Lazio's backup 'keeper, Fernando Muslera, as the only backup I had for Frey were a couple of not so flash u-19s.
The previous Manager (who was sacked after the team finished 8th, despite a predicted top 4 finish), had also signed Henok Goitom, and Adrian Mutu on free transfers. Why he got Mutu is beyond me, he's 32, and is very much on the decline. Francisco Merida was another who has just gone to AC Milan for 14.5m, he wanted to go, and we don't really need him. The first team will look something like this:
