Made some space between me and Ajax but they still have quality players. They seem to be in a transition after losing Nigel De Jong and giving game time to Frankie de Jong! Which is similar to what I'm doing at Botafogo moving Dani Alves on and De Rossi with almiron taking his chance and getting a goal!

Superb week against Charlton but still extremely tight! Home advantage helping with Watford losing in the earlier encounter in the season at the Valley!

Well a new tactic and new players coming to the fore here - need to tighten up at the back here but pleased with the new style here. Will be interesting to see the match reports here....

There was one deal I messed up from last week
Anderson should have joined Birmingham for £30millions and now he has.

This week's deals included
Jamie Vardy joins Leicester for £30millions
Thomas Vermaelen retires to the nonleague as does Mourad Meghni.
De Vilhena joins Feyenoord from Ancona for £11millions.
Newcastle sign Ben Foster for £9millions.

As usual there were quite a few young stars being chased this week with Emerson Leite deciding to join Santos on a £1million signon fee whilst the world and his dog tried to sign Ante Palaversa but Man City had priority and so he joined them for £750k.

I offered a signing on fee of 2m didn't I Paul?

As promised before the season started the non-league has been paying full tribunal value for any players who are unsold and on the transfer list for their tribvals at the end of each week. This was to help reduce the number of active players on the database to help with the move to Windows 10. Well that is going very well and over 2,000 players have left the main database and either be deleted or moved to the veterans database. Windows 10 seems to be handling the current database without an problems at the moment so next week will be the last chance for managers to offload unwanted players for their tribvals, after that nonleague sales will only happen for players valued at zero.
