Ronaldo Vieira was a fan favourite here at Leeds and we were gutted when he left. Fun fact his parents really liked football and his Twin brother (not so successful career but was also in Leeds Academy) is Romario Vieira. Both named after a couple of their favourite Brazilian players. And to keep the Leeds connections Sampdoria owner just sold us 🤣 

Liking the approach with the story interesting how this develops

Yes I read about the Leeds owners buying Sampdoria last year, apparently saving them from bankruptcy. They're still struggling hard IRL though, currently in the Serie B relegation zone, I see. So I do expect this one to turn out a bit better than their real life situation... 

Haha, never heard of Romario Vieira, but it's not hard to see from where they got their inspiration. Any other siblings, you're familiar with? Rivaldo Vieira? Ronaldinho Vieira?

Thanks, I'm just playing through the first 6 months to see which transfers I'm going to pursue in January. Haven't planned much ahead, so I'll just go and see where this takes me. Also, I'm usually not into writing these game-by-game updates myself. Now I've started this way, trying it out one more time, but I do suspect that I could transition out of it at some point later on.
