Bury FC: Pre — Season of Season 10

Hi everyone, welcome back to my Bury story. After missing out on the Premier League title last season, letting it slip from our hands, we did win the Carling Cup and the FA Cup but as you know the Premier League is the real deal! Despite doing the domestic double, I wasn’t happy, as we should have had the Premier League also at Gigg Lane. Anyway, we’ll hope to make that straight this season!

Start Of Season Expectations

The board wanted a minimun Euro Cup finish but I promised them a title challenge. I can’t promise them that I will bring the PL home to Gigg Lane, as Arsenal’s team is just too good.

Transfers Out

I wanted to get rid of dead wood and Stefan Meyer was that. He did not impress in the two seasons he played for us, however we still made a 4.5m profit as we signed him for 6m. Sergio Araujo also departed, he never shined after Adebayor (remember him) departed. Them two really ticked. We also made around 5-7m profit on him. Borja was signed on a free transfer last season and sold for 5m this season despite spending the whole season in the reserves last season.

Transfers In

Well transfers in are meant to be the most exciting part of transfers, but this season it isn’t for me. There was only one major signing made, he is Sebastien Boyomo, Cameroon internation who plays AM. Truely world class if you ask me.

Where is the RW?!!!

Now, we all expected a RW to come in, and I had two on my shortlist, however, the best right winger, I had a fee agreed of 26m. The stumbling block was his wages, he asked for 145k! And 3m for scoring 10 goals! Which would simply destroy our wage schedule! The other right winger was 75% as good as him, and I didn’t want to go past the 20m mark for him. Anyway, we’ll have to stick with Antonio Quimbamba for now, he is soooo sooo talented, just doesn’t perform consistently. Who know, he may blossom this season, with the formation change **cough**cough**

Antonio Quimbamba

 Just look at how good he is! Yet he has only gone past 6.91 as his average rating once in 5 seasons!

Speaking of a change in formation, I will be playing a 4-2-3-1 next season:

Transfers Conclusion:

Why did we have a quiet window? We had a quiet window as I didn’t find any players that would improve our starting XI. And the players I did find, they wouldn’t join us. For example I wanted to sign a star striker, a neymar/sanogo/pato/babacar/aguero/kadlec but none would join us. Our reputation is not strong enough yet. It’s vital we win the league next season.

Well well, not suprising at all, although I was suprised we managed to come back from 2-0 down :D
