And Then There Were 26
Season 5... the sweet smell of #1 club in the world is irresistible. Once it enters your brain you can't think of anything else. Possessed by that unavoidable urge to destroy every other team, Pescara strive, endure impossible waves of simultaneous purple arrows, and achieve success.
Finantially, for now. But success nonetheless. Breaking the €100m and €200m barriers in the same season, the spending spree was brutal. So brutal, an excel sheet was needed.
I have way too much time in my hands.
As you might have noticed if you bothered looking at the report posted above, there were some midly interesting deals. Like Denis, who was sold for a record €21.0m, later bought on a free, and sold again for a mere €11.3m. His replacement on the first sale, Gurpegui, was so bad Pescara took 52 weeks to receive a "serious" offer.
Adding to these deals it must be noticed that Yussuf Poulsen was released after rumours stating he wanted to cut his hair. Pescara were quick to respond to the press, dismissing the big centre forward in the blink of an eye.
How is Pescara's squad looking then? "World class player's for sure Jeff". World class players it is.
[MENTION=180348]Ali[/MENTION] Oh, the heresy!
Buffon... So good he's breaking the game. Development Sheets no longer comprehend his stats. Nobody can stop him now.
Ah, my portuguese Pirlo, if you could know how much I like you... Carry on!
When Vives joined the team so much time ago I forgot, everybody knew he would went and be the most influential player on the squad. Priceless.
This better be good... €32.5m is a lot of money, and the last time things didn't go to plan. Please behave, alright?
Garrincha would be proud!
The perfect winger. Shaved head for better aerodynamics. Shitload of tricks and spot on dribbling. He's quick, he's fast and he's got the pace. Also, he's quite rapid. And the curve on those crosses...
I honestly didn't know he could get this far.
Pace or strength? Humm, let me think...
Beware of the belgian!, he's coming to get you.
The Super-fucking-star on my ship!
My one regret: not taking note of his goals each season. I'd like to see how long it would take to reach 500. Not much longer at this rate.
WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT!
98 ATTACKING PROWESS!
98!
Squad is looking like this. I quite enjoy it.
Main lineup. Improbable to change, but who knows?, maybe some other star falls from the sky...
