Took a few weeks away from the game whilst myself and my family battled with the lurgie and decided to restart my Boro save and see if I could feel a bit happier.
First season I finished top of the championship scoring a bag full of goals In the process, Kieran Scott reccomended a young loan striker called Nelson Wieper and I snapped him up for the season + £3.2millon obligation to buy literally hoping I go up and I did! Another fantastic loan signing was Orel Mangala who displaced Hackney in my advanced playmaker role and he thrived in the big games, upon promotion I signed him permanently for £3million. I also triggered Greenwoods £1.5million option. Latte Lath got 20 goals, he thrives as an advanced forward with a pressing forward partner.
Second season was the case of just survive, made some signings the most important 2 of note were Savio from Troyes for £27million and Brajan Gruda from Koln for £7.5million. I managed to survive pretty comfortably in 11th in the end.
It allowed me to significantly improve heading into season 3, Marcos Leonardo in to partner Weiper, Competition brought in all over the pitch with only a few of the promotion squad still in tact.
Currently I'm in February and have just won the carabao cup final beating Chelsea 3-2, Weiper and Mangala scoring which was poetic in my eyes. I currently sit 8th in the league with a tight league and I know if I can just put a run together I could potentially get Europa League instead of conference.
A center back and a keeper on the agenda in the summer on top of fleshing out the squad with more quality.
2 dissapointing things, RVDB hasn't developed much and has became only a squad player after 2 and a half seasons of persistence and Saudis haven't come and spent insane money on my average players
Did sell Matt Clarke and Barlaser for a combined £20million to Sheffield united though
