Bury FC: Preperations Of Season 9

Hi everyone, welcome back to my Bury post. I don’t think I have posted on consecutive days on this website, so this is a one off and don’t expect it to happen all the time! After last seasons below par campaign in the Premier League, and two finals lost, we definately needed improvements.

Start Of Season Expectations

The board wanted a continental finish and were prepared to offer a 48m budget, but I promised a title challenge increasing my budget by 9m. This budget has around 8m of a player departure in June. Also, we got a lot of money by participating in the final of the Champions League and coming 2nd in the League along with 40m TV Revenue!

Who Left The Club…?

The most notiable names in this list are Lastuvka, Pedro and Feghouli. Remember when I signed Lastuvka for 55k? And he was one of our best players in the first and second PL season… What a profit! And we got a lot of reward from his performances! I sold him because his performances dipped in the previous 2 seasons, and for a European club like us, we needed better back up. Pedro never really shined for us and at 30 years of age, it was the correct deal. 4m is not a lot, but i don’t want under par players in my squad. And we needed to sign a proper LW for once! Feghouli was signed for 1.6m around 30months ago, and constant game time, almost gave us a profit of 6m! Rafael was signed for 1m around 2 years ago, and after shining on loan at Partizan, I also sold him for a 7m profit. In total we had 27.5m coming in from outgoings along with a 57m budget! Plenty of money!

Who Joined The Club…?

We spent 42m! Some big transfers there are Besim Krivic, 14.5m (RB) and Vinicius, LW (17m) The free transfers are youth products, as is Stojanov.

Besim Krivic

Despite signing Besim Krivic, i did not sell Micah Richards because Krivic suffered an injury which would keep him out for 2 months! Also Micah is the vice captain at the club and English nationality also played a role.

He has good marking, tackling, positioning, work rate, bravery, concentration, pace attributes and with his age only being 21, he can improve still, as I experienced with Gino Kusters.

Jack Wilshere

I think we all know who this guy is, he will replace Lastuvka. He hardly got any opportunities for Arsenal, and at least I will not have a thought in my head of ‘what if he does not play well’ He is also English nationality!

Vinicius

Finally, a LW for the club! Cost 17m but who cares! I remember telling Johnny this, on one of his post that I maybe forced to buy a LW for a high price, just like he bought Tinga. Dribbling = 20! Crossing = 17, Technique =19, First Touch = 19, Determination = 18, Pace = 15!

Fabio Fiorentino

What a player! And he only cost 5m! After being dumped by AC Milan, despite his excellent attributes, most likely because they have Neymar and Sanogo in attack, he gladly joined us. I think he is our new poacher! Dribbling = 19, Finishing = 17, First Touch = 17, Heading = 19, Passing = 16. The only important attribute he lacks mentaly is concentration, however I’m almost certain he will not be another Lucas Carrera.

Squad List

Bury squad looks much stronger and more exciting by just looking at the screenshot! We are much stronger in squad depth this season!
