The third season is on the way and we have played the community shield game and 2 league games. First, lets take a look at the signings I made!

Steven Caulker


With Vidic ageing, English centre-back Steven Caulker signs for 15.25 million pounds as he is one of the top young English centre-backs in the market.Arsenal and Spurs both wanted the man and it makes even more sense bringing him in.

Ryan Bertrand


As mentioned earlier, a left-back is needed to replace Evra and Bertrand is the chosen man. He's relatively young and would compete with Luke Shaw for the left-back slot.

Tom Ince


With Ashley Young offloaded due to his stats deteriorating after a serious injury, Tom Ince (another young and English player) signs for United.

Transfers Out
Apart from Ashley Young, Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez is offloaded to Benfica for 30 million pounds due to the emergence of Angelo Hernandez. It was a painful but inevitable sale as there's no longer room for improvement in his stats and he's not English.

The Dutch Sharpshooter returns! 


Shirt Sales


This is one of my favourite new features of FM14 as it tells us who are the most popular players among the fans and how the pre-season tours boost the shirt sales.

Community Shield


It was a fairly even game between two strong sides but we were sharper and Jones & Rooney helped themselves to their first goals of the season.

Chelsea H


It was a tough first fixture of the season but my players made little fuss of it, putting up a perfect performance and we came away 4-0 winners. Shelvey has established himself in the team playing the DLPd role while Tom Ince had a great home debut!

Cardiff A


We didn't play well in the first half at all and Cardiff scored when Cornelius latched onto a long punt from former keeper Lindergaard to finish past De Gea. After giving the hairdryer, the team came out on fire as we turned the game around just three minutes into the second period. Team-talks have proved to be vitally important on this version.

It was a pleasing start to our third season and long may it continue!


With lots of love,
