New 2020/21 Arrival - Cameron Carter-Vickers

Having finished in the top 4 in the league which guaranteed Champions League matches, this year target will be to again reach top 4 status. For this, Walsall needed to improve on defense since we gave up 62 goals. That was the 4th worst record.

So far, as of 6th August 2021, my only signing has been ex- Tottenham youngster Cameron Carter-Vickers, the central-back. Has very good potential but wasn't getting enough game was the league-winning Totttenham.

Stating this paying 33M pound with adds-on that could push the price to 40M pound, was clearly a gross-overpay for a young guy with good potential. I'm hoping Cameron will play well enough to justify this massive transfer fee. I purchased him because he was British and needed a young guy with good potential, so he was 1 of very few who fit my criteria I was looking for.

Cameron is on the shorter side of what I'd expect from a central back, but he makes up for that with quickness, pace and comfort ability on the ball.

2021/22 Transfer Window

Kylian Mbappe the ex-Monaco player was the highest transfer-buy this season. He will be going to the English-League Champion, Tottenham.

Walsall Qualifies for Champions Leagues

After winning the final match of the season against the David Moyes's managed Sunderland, Walsall was able to guaranty itself Champions league matches for next season. This would also make it easier for Walsall to keep their top players, specially right full-back Almamy Toure.

French striker and Walsall new signee Edouard was the biggest award winner for the 2020/2021 end of season ward winners, winning the Premiere league Player of the year, the Player's player of the year. The latter is based on a vote by all Premiere League players.

Team Of The Year

Not sure why Jesus Noriega did not make it into the team of the year but Edouard and Toure did make it in.

Jesus Noriega has been the other standout performer contributing to Walsall early season success, bagging 13 PL goals and 6 assist. Overall, he has 21 goals and 7 assist.

2020/21 Season New Arrivals

After finishing 10th in last year Premiere League campaign, I was given more than $60M in transfer budget by the new owner to buy and try to improve the squad. My expectation for this year is to make an attempt at top 5 and European Football, but would be satisfied to stay clear out of relegation zone.


My early expectation of the season is to have a good start in compare to my previous 2 years in the Premiere League where we started poorly.....Below are the new arrivals for my Walsall team...I had to over-pay to get some of these guys in the door since my team is not well known.

Rodri - DM/CM - $19.75M

Spanish midfielder who played in Belgium top league. Probably overpaid for this guy but felt I really needed to get a more talented big midfielder with steel. His attributes looks better than Osbourne and Butterfield in many areas

Odsonne Edouard - ST - $23.5M($27.5M)

Big target striker who had a nice year playing for Torino in Italy last year.. Again, had to grossly overpaid for an unknown French striker, but attributes looked great. Odsonne is also competent at playing on both wing which should give me flexibility with Noriega and Clough who can also play through the middle.

Constantin Frommann - GK - $18M

German striker with great sweeper attributes which is exactly the type of GK I was looking for because I play a high defensive line. Paid $18M but he's very young and could improve further,

Kortney Hause - CB - $10M

Bringing in another left footed ball-playing central back was one of my main target for the new season and Hause attribute fits the bill. Will compete with Cargill for the left Central back spot.

Louis Schraub - ST/CM/AM.L.R - $7M.

Schraub can basically play all over the field, so I should be able

to fill this guy in the line-up with ease. His price tag was very cheap and him being a left footed attacker helps since I do look to have a balance attack.

Vlad Dragomir - AMC/ CM - Loan

Vlad will be coming back for a second stint at the club, having done well enough to merit a second look. He set up 4 goals last year while making 30 appearances on all competition and scoring 1 lone goal. Made 13 Premiere League starts and 11 off the bench.

This year, I'm expecting a bit more and a few more goals.

Walsall Finished 10th in the League

2019-2020 Premiere League Season

After a not so good start of the year, my Walsall managed to right the ship, escape relegation by a large margin and finished the season in 10th place on the Premiere League table.

The top Walsall performer for the 2019/20 season were Jesus Noriega and Almamy Toure.
Jesus knocked in 11 PL goals and 12 goal set ups. He finished with a 7.13 rating.

Right back Almamy Toure finished with one of the highest rating, 7.39.
