Hi everyone! At the end of December Bury were in 3rdplace with a 4 point advantage and 2 games in hand over 5th place Man City. However, there was still lots of games to play and we could easily crumble!
January Transfer Window
One player departed and his name is Roberto Beltrame. He signed for us two seasons ago and this season he had nothing to do. He only played 3 matches. We recived 5m for him. This means we made 1.4m profit on him.
The man that replaced him is 18 year old Romanian defender George Petrache. He is much better than him, and he only cost 750k more! Heading, Marking and Tackling all =>16 Positioning = 14, and Teamwork & Workrate = 17. Determination = 17! A great defender on paper! And plenty of years to improve! :D
Our next signing in this window is 18 year old Rafael who was transfer listed by Atletico Madrid for 1m. I didn’t hesitate and snapped him up quickly. This deal will only benefit us as we could sell him for a profit, or we could keep him and he will be regarded as ‘trained by club’
Our last signing is another 18 year old, who was pre-signed at the age of 16. He was also signed for 1m. He is great technically, but not mentally. And he doesn’t possess good pace. Also, notice his value has already increased to 3m! :D

First, to get it out of the way, I would like to show you a short FA Cup run for us this season. No domestic cups for us this year! :(
Premier League Results
Undefeated in this period! And some great victories! Against Manchester United, we were 3-1 down untill we won the game in injury time! Best victory so far as manager of Bury! We also beat Arsenal, who just don’t know how to beat us. Notice Araujo is scoring in the league! He is brilliant! :D
Great Victory VS Man UTD
Great Victory VS Arsenal
League Table
A great run of form has took us to third place, level on points with second and 1 point off first with a game in hand. It is soo tight at the top! I never thought I would say this, this season, but Bury could win the league!
Euro Cup
We have done better than we did last year and have gone through to the next knockout round. We absolutely spanked Fenerbache, and now we will play local rival Man City.
Top 10 Average Ratings
Well stats don’t lie. Stats are facts! And facts are 100% true! Our monsters up front lead the chart. Ronaldo is closely followed, unfortunately it will most likely be his last season at the club. This season it seems like a lot of the young players (Ronaldo, Lastuvka, Pedersen, Kusters, Fahri Aytac, Ze Carlos & Quimbamba) have matured and now we are solid everywhere on the pitch. Club captain Gino Kusters is the best defender. He is classed as a wonderkid. Remember when some of you thought i payed too much for him? Well the 12m paid has certainly paid off.
Gino Kusters:
Anyway, that concludes the post. Thanks for reading!

What a superb set of results Sayam! You have almost secured a Champions League spot but hopefully you can go one better and win the Premier League :-) Good luck bud!

I lost my interest in FM for a while, then went on holiday to Italy and only returned on Thursday night. Nevertheless, I’ll be starting a new story soon :-)

Hey Sayam, what an amazing run of form and Araujo is starting to shine. I really like your new signings too…the future is bright at Bury. Keep up the great work, I reckon Champions League football is almost guaranteed. :)

Hi Sayam, do you think you could upload a screenshot of the Man City team with their wages, i noticed in a previous post when they approached you their wage bill was £3.2M!
Good luck with the rest of the season.

Sure, no problemmmmooo!

Hi Sayam,
What a brilliant time you had! Those signings look brilliant and your deadly strikeforce is outstanding. Adebayor must be getting on now, how old is he? I was one of the people that thought you paid a lot for Kusters but it looks like it is paying off! He looks great now, I can’t wait to see him in a few seasons!
Sayam Khan
8 мая, 2011 at 11:49
Thanks Alex, Adebayor is 33 now. Kusters should be a legend for the club hopefully :D

Hi Sayam,
That was a great run of results. I agree Bury has an equal chance of winning the league. With Adebayor and Araujo banging in the goals. You will surely lift the title if you can produce the same form in the remaining games.

Thanks Lye, It would be amazing if we could win the league!

Araujo is great, and Adebayor seems to have found some of his form, it will be tight but your team are legitimate title contenders, hopefully you can win the league
Interesting that Adebayor scored close to Araujo’s amount despite playing a lot less games….Good luck in the league, will be rooting for you to win it!
Sayam Khan
8 мая, 2011 at 11:52
Adebayor would have scored 40 by now if I didn’t rest him, he always has a risk of injuries at his current age… And I played Araujo in nearly every game this season so he could settle in quickly and it seems he has.

Great stuff Sayam, Adebayor and Araujo are really doing some damage now and with this kind of form you are looking good for the title! I like that new Romanian centre back :)
Sayam Khan
8 мая, 2011 at 11:53
Thanks Johnny, I was thinking of you when i signed that Romanian centre back :D

Hey Sayam
What a great run of form! It is helped by the form of Adebayor and Araujo. Your game in hand will be very crucial, and it is a good thing you have beaten Arsenal and Man United.
P.S. Can you put Ronaldo’s profile up?
Sayam Khan
8 мая, 2011 at 11:53
Thanks Vaibhav, and yeah, I’ll put Ronaldo’s profile up.

Great stuff Sayam — you have a real chance of winning the league now. Too bad about the domestic cups but less matches will keep your players fit for the end of season run in. Good luck!!!
Sayam Khan
8 мая, 2011 at 11:54
Thanks Kevin, going out of the domestic cups has actually benefited us!

LoL, why cant Araujo score a hat-trick??!!
Scores twice every time! but he might be that missing player that you needed to turn your side into regular contenders.
Some great wins over the big teams and in a titile race, so really good luck Sayam!!

That’s a brilliant run of form Sayam, and you’re right in the title race, tbh with the amount of points you’ve got you would probably have a bigish lead in any other season, but it seems like you have stiff competition at the top. It’ll be close but I reckon you can do it, good luck!
