well thats the Quaddrouple complete with an easy 3 - 0 win over Spurs in the Euro Cup Final



next to come is the FA Cup Final against Arsenal

also finally signed a Goalkeeper, Eloi Jimenez from Real Sociedad. £9million and hes only 18, very good prospect

His stats:

Ariel Ability: 19
Command of area: 14
Communication: 15
Eccentricity: 11
First touch: 5
Free Kick Taking: 5
Handling: 16
Kicking: 16
One On Ones: 16
Pen Taking: 3
Reflexes: 13
Rushing Out: 18
Tendency To Punch: 15
Throwing: 11

well the league is over, and i did okay
on course to win everything

i have 6 players!! in the Premier League Team Of The Year:
Ben Foster, Rio Ferdinand, Cristiano Ronaldo, Sergio Aguero and Wayne Rooney

i got the manager of the year award.
Aguero got player of the year
Granberg came second in young player of the year



well thats it!!! ive won EVERYTHING

it was a close game and it took the very last kick of the ball in extra time to win it for us
but thats the 5 titles in 1 season



so i had a successful season winning all titles that i was entered in

i ended my season with 92% win percentage
i scored 159 goals and conceded 48 in 68 games
thats an average of 2.33 goals per a game scored
and i conceded an average 0.705 goals per a game

the formation i used worked well, it doesnt show the arrows,
i have the CB's aiming backwards
i have the CM's going forward and the centre forward going back



he favorite player of the season has to be Tobias Granberg
he was solid at the back and got a couple of goals for us as well

Rooney: 34 Apps, 22 Goals, 11 Assists, 6 MoTM
Tevez: 32 Apps, 18 Goals, 9 Assists, 2 MoTM
Aguero: 31 Apps, 16 Goals, 11 Assists, 6 MoTM

my best result: 6 - 1 against Liverpool first competitive game after joining United and well dominated the game and could have scored more

Worst Result: my only lose of the season 2 - 1 at Arsenal, we played well we just couldnt score which was annoying

Transfers:

Ins:

David Luiz: Luiz, 26 comes from Juventus for £27.5million and will be a good replacement for Nemanja Vidic
it took a while to get him after they randomly went from asking £23million to asking for over £40million which was annoying
i think he could be a good signing for us as hes a good CB nice and strong with a good bit of pace to help with counter attacks

Ignacio Camacho: Camacho, 23 has signed from Athletico Madrid for £26.5million and hes a great youngster
he has plenty of quality and he will be a replacement for Flamini when he leaves as hes getting on a bit
i had to activate his release clause in order to sign him but i think he will be a good signing

Eloi Jimenez: Jimenez is another Scoiedad player i have signed after bringing Mathubela he cost £9million
i tried getting Asenjo but he refused to come but Jimenez looks like a better quality player and hes only 18
i hope he will challenge for the number 1 shirt of Ben Foster this season - who was great last season

Outs:

Davide Petrucci: Petrucci has gone to Roma for £6million he didnt even make it on to my subs bench
he wasnt really that good and i tried for the whole season to sell him but couldnt and finally Roma came and took him

Fraizer Campbell: Campbell has gone to Inter for £8.5million and again this another player sold
becuase he couldnt even get onto mysubs bench and when i did play him he wasnt that good

Nemanja Vidic: Vidic has gone to Real madrid for £15million. i sold him as he was getting a bit too old
he didnt really work well with my fast paced formation and we looked iffy on the counter attack with two old CBs
i had a lot of offers for him but wouldnt sell to any one in Prem. i would have sold him at beginning of season
but i was unable to bring anyone in

Rio Ferdinand: Ferdinand went AC Milan for £7.5million but i had many offers from with in UK but didnt want
to sell to anyone in Premand as with Vidic i found him too old and to fast enough for the formation i use
and again i would have sold him at the beginning of season had i managed to bring someone else in

Patrice Evra: Evra went to Roma for £13million, i kept him for the season as he was my LB while i used Granberg
as the WBL but recently Granberg even took that place. he played well and isnt really that old, i just felt that
Granberg is better and i think i could get a good backup player and save on the wage budget

Sidnei: Sidnei, my worst signing ever!!! i managed to sell him for £9million the price i got him for so im not too bothered

Micheal Carrick: Carrick has gone to Blackburn for £8million he did well for us last seaosn but we have a good Midfield and with the new signing of Camacho wouldnt make the bench most times so i thought i should cash in
if i need a backup CM then i will buy a younger player

Transfer News:

im trying to sell Berbatov with my new signing Matarrese finally able to play after having played for 2 teams last season
i just need to sure up the defense and have about £65million to spend
im looking at another CB and back ups for my WBR and WBL and i should have the finished team

yeah with £60million to spend i want to get a couple more CB's
i have Carceres, Leo, Zapata and Criscito are a couple of targets

right so ive signed Leo and Carceres for a total of £46million (Leo 19 and Caceres 27)
but neither are all up front so thats okay i have about £34million left

but hope to sell Nani for £30million and maybe Ronaldo as they dont fit in with my formation
but they do work in the 4 - 5 - 1 formation that i sometimes use
so im not sure

Berbatov has gone to Huddersfield!!!! for £5million
they are in the Prem!!!!

ive done the double over Liverpool in the Community Shield
after a 5 - 2 win. they put up a better fight this time, they had to come back twice
but in the end i was too strong:

Man U Goals:
Sergio Aguero: 6mins
Mathieu Flamini: 28mins
Philipp Degen OG: 48mins
Ignacio Camacho: 56mins
Davide Santon: 76mins

Liverpool Goals:
Goran Pandev: 10mins
Goran Pandev: 39mins

only down point my star player and team captain Tobias Granberg injured for a month

my next cup match is Arsenal in the Euro Super Cup, and after just beating them 1 - 0 in the league im a bit more confident

Nice results so far, i see you have Mathieu Flamini. He rocks in this game
He's the best defensive midfield i ever had in this game, and he can also play natural center midfield.

yeah, but im thinking of selling him at the end of the season
hs getting on in age and i have Camacho who could take his place
at the moment he plays in CM as Camacho is a better DM

im thinking of selling Ronaldo and Nani as well they only play when i use either my 4 - 4 - 1 or 4 - 5 - 1 formation which isnt really that often only against big teams such as Barca

i wouldnt call them my best players, they barely play any games for me
i have been offered £60million for Ronaldo
im going to wait til the window has closed before i sell either

as i want to get a couple of players with the money from the sale,
Andrea Mazzarani is one of them

Well another close match ended 1 - 0 and with me down to 10 after Sunny got a red card
but it was 1 - 0 to me thanx to a Carlos Tevez 18th minute goal
so that 2 titles so far, okay maybe not the highest titles but still titles

i cancelled the £60million deal for Ronaldo to join Madrid as i would only sell if i managed to get Criscito from Juventus and Mazzarani from Udinesse (sp) but they both would have cost over £60million E A C H
