Am pretty sure you have heard the news of the merge of sites, which is great I think! I typically missed it due to being away all weekend! So I will make up for it with the new post in my Coruxo season! Last season we really struggled and probably should have been relegated but due to a bit of form we survived to fight again this season!
So lets have a look at just what happened!
——————————————————————————
So the season began with news of a brand new stadium! We didnt win too many prizes for the name though which will just be Coruxo Stadium. Probably one of the worst names ever! I really hope they change it further down the line, but it will cost £17 million and have under soil heating and 12,250 seats. I dont know why they just didnt round it up to 12,000 or 13,000 seats but thats my board as wacky as ever! :)
So more work! This time with an upgrade to the training facilities with another million pound development I would have preferred investment in the youth side but I cant complain really!
Transfers Out
I pulled no punches selling off and releasing players who just were not good enough. It was cruel as players such as Niang and Pacciardi were the main reasons we were in la liga but we needed change after last year. I sold Garcia, Agirrexte, Theophile — Catherine, da Graca, Nikao and Ayala for good money. In the end we were well under our wage budget and had a really healthy bank balance.
I made several new signings and as usual I will intoduce them one by one so here they are :
Pichu Atienza
Atienza was bought for £1.4 million pounds and is a centre back, although he can also play in midfield if needed. He is alot better than the departed Ayala in my opinion and will start alongside Valiente.
Nenam
A big money signing as I parted with £3.6 million to lure Nenam from Brazil to Spain but I have a really talented striker, goals last season were easy to come by but I needed a better squad and Nenam has a big future I think.
Francisco Alcacer
Another promising Spainish talent I picked up for free, released by Barcelona. Another centre forward and another who has a bright future will hopefully provide some good cover this season.
Zlaten Ibrahimovic
So I went totally against what I usually do and signed and over 30 player, infact I signed someone who I really didnt like when he was at Barcelona. But this is just a game and despite his age he is still very talented but he will bring some experience, something we lacked last season. Its a gamble but it just might pay off! ;)
Samuel Galindo
So I bought him for a million pounds from Arsenal and he is an attacking midfield player. Another who should have a good future he is pretty well rounded and should provide some good cover this season.
Haris Vuckic
Another million pound signing this time from Manchester City my scouts seemed to really love him! He is predicted to be a real star for the future so I brought him to Coruxo with high hopes! Again he will be more of a squad player than a starter but pretty good for the money we paid.
So thats it! Thanks for reading and I will bring the half season report as soon as I can its played I just need to find some time to write it up, which leaves me to ask you all a question.
As many of you may know I am currently writing two stories one here and one at Darrens old site which is now over here, but I am in my 15th season……
Now I could post the new update but many of you who havent been following may have no idea what is going on and reading 14 seasons may take a while. So I was thinking is there any point in keeping it going? I am really enjoying playing that game (and my Coruxo one also) but there isnt much point in posting a story in which most people wont have a clue whats going on.
Anyways leave me a response on what you think and wish me good luck on this season at Coruxo!!
