FM16 #2 (LFC)

Transfer window, BPL and EL draw #2 

Now for an update on my journey with Liverpool. I have getting rid of some players just to get some extra cash and save some wage. First I sold José Enrique to AS Monaco for 5 mio euro. He wasn't going to play any matches because I've got Alberto. As a backup I would rather play Brad Smith.

The next outgoing transfers was two center defenders. Kolo Toure sold to Bournemouth for 825K euro and Tiago Ilori to Newcastle for 5 mio euro. 

None of these players would get to play so 10.825.000 euro earned right there. 

I tried getting a new goalkeeper but the good one's were to expensive so I stopped looking for now and instead I focused on bringing some young talents into the squad. I bought Andrija Zivkovic for 1.8 mio euro and Renat Dadachov for 2 mio euro. 

Andrija is bougth as a rotation player. He will get some matches throughout this season. He's a very skilled wing and will mainly be playing the AMR but as an inner forward. 

Renat is a long term investment. He's an 16 year old striker who need's to get some experience so a loan might be the opportunity. 

That's it for this transfer window.

 We've played some friendlies with mixed results. We've lost to Preston but won against Valencia and Zaragoza - those are the most interesting of the matches. All in all we played some fine matches without impressing. 

As the Premier League opener we met Stoke. A match we would be playing at Anfield. The expectations were high but after a shaky start from us Stoke scored after only six minutes!

We came back in the match with Danny Ings scoring in the 39th minute. 

That became the result. A shaky 1-1. 

In the following three matches the opponent's was Manchester City at Etihad, Arsenal and then Chelsea at Anfield.

So the start of the season could easily be a massive setback for the club in the fight for getting in the top 4. 

But after another draw against City and then Arsenal we finally got three points against Chelsea where I saw the player's beginning to understand my way of playing. 

As for now we're placed as number 9 in the league but without having lost.

The last thing worth mentioning in this update which is already too long we went through the draw for the group stage in the Europa League.

We're going up against Villarreal (Yea....), Bordeaux and Rapid Wien.

I expect us to do well and hope for us to win the group.

That's it for now! Thank you for reading.
