Make America Great Again
I'm not going to win the league, but I JUST BEAT BAYERN!
E: My strategy was pretty much to wait until next year and see what kind of players were available and what kind of transfer funds I would get. The only signing for this season was Ricardo Rodriguez, but considering I was unable to sell Gibbs I probably should have done with him what I did with the others. I signed Serge Aurier and Timo Werner for reasonable fees, but loaned them back to their clubs for the duration of the year. Aurier could do more at his club and this allowed me to hang onto Sagna for his final season. Werner, IMO, probably wasn't better than Bendtner and I knew that he'd get time at Stuttgart. Next year he'll come to London and backup Giroud who is a good striker IMO who can play in other players.
I don't see any glaring holes in the side for next season, so I'll be making more transfers of opportunity. I unsettled Schurrle at Chelsea, but they want 26m for him so far. That should drop in the summer. I've explained my Ramsey problem and I may sell him in order to find a more suitable partner for Wilshere; I'm thinking Veratti, who I've had in every version of FM and is a little boring, or Strootman who I've never had. I'm also watching Rafinha, Pogba, and Lucas Romero who became a monster in my Southampton game. Theo is having a great year and his value is skyrocketting. I may end up selling him because I see Ox as my long term right wing with Gnabry on the left. Also am going to need a good young DC, especially if I can sell Vermaelen; trying to get Ginter, but I'm open to any legitimate possibility.
