Video Diary of FIFA Manager Bhurst99

[bhurst99]

There was no chance 30-year old Brad Jones was going to play for us so he's the first to be transfer listed. Don't let the door hit you on the way out, Mr. Jones.

I didn't realize this was Carragher's final season. That's news to me.

Carroll, Spearing and Mukendi were all loaned out before I was named manager. Mukendi's going to have to develop dramatically to have any future with the club.

As my first move I've put a collection of teenagers on the loan list. See if we get any bites from other teams.

Steven Kerr you want $8 million?!? Holy cow. That would seriously cut into our transfer budget so we're not going to do that. Find some other sucker to pay you and your scouting network $8 million.

I hate to settle for second best in scouting but that's exactly what we're settling for in Trygve Hoie at a more reasonable price of $1.5 million.

That leaves us $23 million. We should be able to get two good players for that amount.

My pre-season schedule sees me playing three games in eight days.

July 22: Siena
July 26: Chievo Verona
July 30: Marseille

Hopefully, I can develop some sliders for a realistic game.

Okay, it's time to start playing some games before I bore everyone to tears. This is a Video Diary not a Screen-Capture-to-Dull-People-to-Death-Diary.

I don't know if I agree with the headline. I'm not seeking to impress anyone with a nothing pre-season match. It's all about getting to know your team in the pre-season. That quote does sound like something I would say.

Yesil's request is a reasonable one especially since he called me "Boss." I like that he knows who is in charge around here. He'll start against Siena. But he better not let it get to his head.

Looking forward to see some games here. Liverpool are a prestigious squad and it'll be interesting to see if you can bring them back to glory.

Probably not because unfortunately I am a horrible FIFA player.
