Every season, we see new blood amongst the player databases with hundreds of high potential youth being regenerated everyday. Its a great thing to see a high potential youth player slowly evolve to world class quality. Already we have seen a few regens already on their way to greatness. But spare a thought for the greats who are retiring or has retired, so as to give these young ones the time and space to attain great feats.
In Season 3 in StJohn, we had a lot of such greats bidding adieu to their careers and hanging up their boots. Namely, the likes of Italian Target man Luca Toni, Dutch wizard Clarence Seedorf, Louis Saha, Italian Defensive Rock Alessandro Nesta, Frédéric Kanouté will never ply their trade in StJohn. Its a sad day when you have to bid goodbye to such class. I'm sure players of such caliber will be sorely missed especially by the teams who owned them, along with Mauro Camoranesi, Marcos Senna, Raúl Tamudo, Steve Finnan, Benni McCarthy, Francesco Toldo and flamboyant Brazilian wizard Denílson Araújo to name a few.
But with the departure of such talent, it also brings forward regen superstars, the ones who are ready to rule the world. The likes of Dominic Ollier, Nicolas Raicevic, Phillpo Serra, does seem to be up and able to take in the workload and fill the void left by these evergreen veterans. A final toast to all those Retirees of Season 3. May you all find peace in your retirement :)

End of yet another Season
Season 3 comes to an end. Its been a remarkable Season for the Daredevils. We finally showed true grit and determination and the Academy squad won the Youth Championship and the Seniors followed it up with their League win. It was an emotional win for the Academy squad since many of them wont be a part of the squad next season. Quite a few are already on their way out of the club, since they have been told, they wont be a part of the Seniors team next season.
With the pre season on its way the Daredevils have already made their first big name signing. The one and only Aliaksandr Hleb. The manager was greatly excited at having splashed the cash to bring in such a big name. Hleb already voiced his long term commitment to the club by signing a contract for 2 seasons. The club faithful are greatly impressed and excited to see a player of such stature ply his trade in The New Old Trafford. The club is also looking to rid itself of some of the youth players. They are currently deemed as surplus requirement at the club and will be looking at a new home soon enough.
At a recent press conference the manager of the Daredevils stated his focus and vision of the club. He stressed the importance of Seniors Football, especially since the Daredevils are now in the Championship, just one spot away from the top level football in the Premiership. He also stressed the fact that the club should continue investing in youth, since they are already reputed as one of the best Academies of StJohn. "We are continuously monitoring our youth program and upgrading wherever necessary. Our coaching is one of the best in the Gameworld, and we are looking to increase our scouting capabilities in the near future. We also aim to set up youth camps so that we can spot and nurture good talent."
