Having gained promotion to the Bundesliga at the first time of asking, this transfer window was going to be a very important one. We lacked quality and depth in certain areas, we need to improve, not overhaul. As I start this post, I’m still not certain on the system I’ll be using and thus, can’t be sure about the types of players I’ll require.

We’ve skipped into the future a wee bit since my last seasonal update. Lots of players have moved on etc. We’d won the last three titles as PSG have had a few off years. This is currently the longest that any side have broken PSG’s league winning run since 2012/13. (more…)
Hello, remember me? Yes, it has been a long time since I last wrote about FM and indeed my Auxerre save. Forgive me.
