39.5M on those three players.
Got 2M for Carroll, and it looks like I'll get 1.5M for Billington. If Billington leaves I will bring in a 34 year old Ashley Cole to backup Alaba at left back.
EDIT: Ashley Cole has arrived

VINET!!!!! 
Blew two clear cut chances in the 90th minute to draw Arsenal at the Emirates. We lose 1-0. Also lost 1-0 to City a week ago. How about these first 5 fixtures: Chelsea, Liverpool, West Brom, Man City, Arsenal. 7 points... not too shabby.
EDIT:
16 points through 9 games on October 24th. 6th place on the table. 18 goals scored which is most in the Premiership, but that was helped by the 6 we just put past QPR. Doing very well now that the entire first team squad isn't injured; had to start Fat Frank for our first two games, although he did score a potential goal of the year. Vinet is growing into his Trequartista role after looking a little awkward initially and Simon is finally starting to dart up the line without regard for defense like I want him to. Also, I've been trying to throw the League Cup, but the backups have kept us just barely advancing.
EDIT2: Vinet gets capped for France and then gets a brace in his second cap. We crush Wolves and their manager is instantly fired. 19 from 12.

February is ending, here's the Table, Stats, and First Team
Cashley has consistently outperformed Alaba all season, so he has won the left back spot. Drysdale has not really done much IMO, so he has been relegated to the bench. Both Befodil (who I forgot to tell you guys I signed at the deadline) and Ozdemir are scoring well and our boy Vinet is leading the Premiership in assists. My only problems with him are that he seems to drop a little too far deep to get the ball (it's not a PPM), and he dribbles through entire teams only to shoot a weak shot at the keeper (he won't learn "shoots with power").
We're on 39 points, which is the same amount we had all of last season; and I think we should start making a move in the table because the schedule was very front loaded. I've stopped playing conservatively except against the bigger teams, I realized sometime in January that this is a good team and I should just let them go.
Forsyth has been okay this year, but I have signed Sergio Romero on a Bosman from AZ Alkmaar. He is phenomenal, 28, and should arrive on July 1. The defense needs a lot of work, but the midfield and attacking players are quite good.

Good job, ShiftyPowers. It's good to see a positive goal difference even though the defense needs work. I was way into the minus. It's really fun to see how the team develops. Next year Europe should be in reach, although it may become impossible to keep Simon, Munoz and Menezes.

Zlatan;2930707 said:Vinet average rating: 7.71.
And that while playing for a team that's 14th in the league. Incredible.
And leaving goals on the table too. Probably 4-7 goals where he dribbled past the entire defense and then duffed a shot at the keeper.
We could run into a problem because I raised expectations to "top half finish" so I could get more money. Hopefully that doesn't happen. If I recall correctly I set the chairman's patience to very high.
EDIT: I think we can hang onto Vinet for a year or more. I've named him captain, his favorite club is Chelmsford, and Señor Pablo is one of his favorite personnel.

Result of the season
Final Table. Not the greatest, but at least some improvement.
Vinet wins an award
And another (EPL Team of the Year)
Kinda cool...
For the next manager:
1) All of the promising youngsters have recently signed new contracts, so you should be able to keep them all. I'm talking about Menezes, Vinet, Ozdemir, and Eke Simon who is now happy at the club.
2) Drysdale wants a new contract, and his wage demands are staggering. I told him to wait until the end of the year, so it is not my problem. For my money Merida is a better left wing. I would seriously consider selling him despite his excellent attributes, but maybe you can get more out of him than I could. I think it's definitely possible.
3) Benhamou is phenomenal, but I just don't think there's anyone else who can play in center midfield with him; Lansbury perhaps, but I don't know.
4) Seriously, you're going to have to buy an entirely new defense. EDIT: Just to clarify, Simon and Alaba are probably fine. Simon definitely is. I'm talking central defenders.
5) Don't be too cautious. I didn't start attacking until January and I'm positive we missed out on a handful of points in the first half of the season because of defensive play. With that said, don't attack like you're Man U.
6) Finally, don't set the expectations too high. I tested their patience a little this year, but luckily Pablo has brought them this far, so we have some goodwill built up.
BUT WAIT!!!! THERE'S ONE MORE THING!
I have saved on May 27th. Why a few days early? Because Juventus has just offered Pablo their manager position. Should we stay at Chelmsford, or move abroad? I feel like this is a team decision, not just for one manager.

They must still be in Serie A, I'm sure I didn't add Serie B to the game. I agree, stay at Chelmsford. Rejecting Juventus will be the next manager's first task. Oops, forgot to upload the thing, two seconds.
