AUGUST

Only two league games in the month of August, plus the curtain raiser vs Manchester United in the Community Shield. Breezed that 4-1 with Aurier filling in at CB despite being incompetant there. The Newcastle game was a strange one. I had no centre back on the bench when Vermaelen got injured, by that point in the 53th minute or so I was 4-1 up, so I swapped him with striker Eduardo Perera and went 3-5-2 with one CB. Nearly cost me in the end! Ended the month with a routine win over Villa.

TRANSFERS

There was one sale I couldn't stop, the David De Gea to Barcelona. They met his £35 Million release clause, and despite me offering him a new deal, he decided to sign for Barcelona.

So onto my signings;

CAM - Juan Pablo Paz: To provide competition for Robert Platt in the CAM role. Fantastic stats, couldn't not buy him really.

CB - Galatto: My South American scout recommended him to me. £12 Million is a lot for a young fellow like him but I was short on centre-back and he could be world class.

GK - Dossou Abimola: French 'keeper from Rennes who was originally signed as back-up for De Gea, but now to Bilic. £15 Million a lot for a back-up but I believe he'll be world class.

GK - Miljenko Bilic: Recommended to me time and time again last season, he's a fantastic keeper already for his age.

GK - Sander Masson: Signed him on deadline day, only 16 years of age but I will turn him into a top goalkeeper.

LB - Manuel Gonzalez: Cheap one at £1.5 Million, again a 16 year old who could become a top Premier League star in the future for me.

RB - Leon Vos: Signed him for £5 Million up-front and a further £7.5 Million in clauses, he'll be better than Serge Aurier soon whom I rejected a bid of £21 Million from Barcelona for in the Summer.

ST - Gianni Basso: Signed him from AS Roma, scout recommended him instantly after I sent him to Italy, and he looks to be a good'un.

ST - Eduardo Perera: Signed as back-up to Lukaku but in the future he would take over as the #1 striker. He is improving already and hasn't scored yet, but I will be putting him up-front for Carling Cup matches.

Annoyed about the City game because I was 2-0 up, and frustrated that Wolves equalised TWICE against me.
