Ruud's Cannes game

[rpvankasteren]

Ok first off I'll do like Cody and prove I kept to the rules I set myself.

 

[rpvankasteren]

As you can see I've already been playing a while. Next I'll post my transfers and the one that's following. I haven't sold any players, as I didn't think I needed to. There is interest in Michel Rodriguez from Caen, however.

 

[rpvankasteren]

So far I've played 4 friendlies.

I've lost one, to Wisla Krakow, after a 3-1 loss in the penalty shootout. 0-0 at the final whistle.

I've won 2-0 against Wolves, 2-5 at Bastia, and 3-1 against Celtic. I'm starting to fear Cody was right about this going to be an easy league...

Of course, it's just friendlies, we'll have to see.
Next I'm playing Dortmund home. I'm starting 14 year old Belgian GK Gabriel Gulyas in this one. He's had 4 good sub appearances for me so far, conceding 2 against Bastia, but keeping his net clean the other games.
Suleiman Mohammed is a 19 year old Nigerian, who's going to be my captain it seems. My team works better, when I give him the band in stead of Laurent de Palmas.

 

[rpvankasteren]

This is Suleiman's report card, great find, hope he gets a bit better still

 

[PSVFOREVER]

wtf?? He's awesome

 

[rpvankasteren]

I know! His physical stats are through the roof for a 19 year old.

How the hell did u find him!! Ive found quite a good few players. But nowt that matches him!

 

[rpvankasteren]

I've also signed some extra staff:

Ruud = MASTER

I knew about him from my first 03/04 game with FC Den Bosch. He wouldn't come to me there, but here he did want to come

I realise now, that I only signed one under 18, so Beardsley will mostly be managing randoms for me now. The only under 18 I have has even become my second choice Gk
I tried to get Ben Arfa, Zwikker, and Jo, as I wanted some good young strikers in the backup, but they wouldn't come. I'll see about some in a bit as well.

i always get Zwikker on my man utd game, hes like 14 at the start

Dortmund was a good beating, as expected. The first half went better than expected, actually, only conceding the one goal, but my young GK finally really cracked under the pressure of Koller and Addo after half time. My first GK, Padovani, kept a clean sheet afterwards, so good result really, and the crowd turn up was good as well

 

[rpvankasteren]

After selling Rodriguez to Caen for £45k, I signed this guy for £65k:

I won my first match away at Ajaccio, 0-1. Nothing special.

Update after 10 league games. First the results:

This adds up to these standings:

I got this message after the Sannois match :

 

[PSVFOREVER]

god, you play much better than I do (my board is already unhappy)

 

[rpvankasteren]

But his performance is still pretty good

(after 10 games)
