Hughes and Dybala doing the business, eh?

Dybala was fucking horrible for almost half the season, then just started scoring crazy amount of goals in all games.

I had to sell Chalobah back to Chelsea though.

After they had loaned him to me for free for 3 seasons I signed him for free and his contract ran out.

Then they used 45mil to buy him back, and Amartey is doing better than ever.

We'll buy Sterling with Pogba's money, thus completing the holy trinity of future GOATs - Sterling, Coman, Berardi.

Juve - Samp is on Sunday, not tomorrow?!

How does one get so much money as Watford in FM?!

Look at the dates my puppeteer, promoted with them my first season and after a few got to play in CL after finishing fourth when everyone else messed up. Haven't been back in CL since but been playing Europa League and expanding stadium.

Also the team was bought by someone who decided to build a new stadium, on top of expanding it. Then he refused to give me any money for the summer transfer window. But then he came to his senses and gave me 20m in January.
