Marseille 2046/47 Mid-Season Update:
It's been a while so I thought I'd give an update.
Transfers In:
£15.25m, I largely bought him because of his awesome name and partly because he was just 14 when I discovered him and I don't usually find youth that young.
£14.25m. I don't need him as I have a load of keepers on the books but I couldn't say no to a really good French prospect.
£21.5m and he feels a hole. We had no real cover at RB and I was just using CB's who can play at RB whenever my first choice guy was injured/suspended. I was having problems finding a decent RB with potential that wasn't £80m+ so I was really happy to find this guy who is also French.
£13.25m and he's another that I don't really need but I couldn't say no. I feel he could be a star, just a shame his stamina is pretty shit.
He's coming at the end of the season when he turns 18 for £38m. It's a pretty hefty price tag for a striker who isn't that great of a finisher but my scouts think he could be massive.
Transfers Out:
A few more of the dregs that were left in the squad have finally left. I also let a whole heap of youth out on loans which have also made the club an extra £7m.
League:
We're currently on a streak of 48 games without a loss and it's hard to see us losing any time soon.
Europe:
Easy.
Fixtures:
No real problems, although we did have a game against Rennes in which we just about managed to win 2-1. We were actually 3-0 up after 70 minutes, I then went to make my subs and the screen went black after waiting nothing happened so I force closed the game. We shat all over them but needed goals in the 45+1 and 90+1 minutes to secure the win.
I want to single out this guy as well:
I signed him last year for £16.5m to be our backup LM but he quickly became our number 2 striker (I play a 4-4-2) after some injuries and he's been incredible, he's also just been named FIFA's best U21 and the European Golden Boy.
In terms of this save I still need the Club World Cup (next one is in 2049), the European Super Cup and the European Championships (2048) to complete my Octadecagon challenge. I imagine I'll stay at Marseille until it's done (I really hope we don't fail and have to wait another 4 years) and then I'll buy 2022 to start something new.
