Force Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Think he deserves his own thread as he once hyped up to be a good striker, but on FM11 is available for free. Have him for my FC United of Manchester team, 8th league I think it is, so I'm guessing he's sign for any team. Haven't perfected his role yet as he seems to perform well in a lot of positions. My scout isn't that good but gives him a 4 1/2 star rating and his potential should be good, hopefully keep him for next few years if I get promoted.

Ty Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Was it FM07 that he had ridiculously good potential? Hyped up to be a similar player to Michael Owen? Doesn't look too cracky anymore... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Force Posted November 14, 2010 Author Share Posted November 14, 2010 Indeed, it was 07.. by now he should be much better, don't know reasons why he isn't.. maybe the hype wasn't justified. Still, will be good for anyone who's playing lower leagues Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scambob Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 my work colleague is his mate, says he is an utter nutter- Rooney without the class. Could have been massive at spurs but attitude and injury recked his chances. He was called up to Irish squad at 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Force Posted November 14, 2010 Author Share Posted November 14, 2010 Ahh, too bad. Didn't take notice of aggressions which is 14, mm.. he hasn't done anything wrong so far Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shunterbaby Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Rooney without the class?? I presume you mean as in skill? Your mate is wrong, it wasn't his attitude that was the problem it all, its that he got a reallly unlucky injury, that he still has got. Spurs didn't didn't think he would be able to make it with his injury, but offered him employment in other areas of football, but he is so desperate to play. I think he is still on the books of West Ham now. It's a shame that the injury has wrecked a very promising player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Force Posted November 16, 2010 Author Share Posted November 16, 2010 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_Dixon - Hopefully he can get back to where he was. Really bad to see an injury ruin someones career Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimi m Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 he got an awful injury and was never right after, if that didnt happen he would have been good Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerrgio Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Oh my god didn't realise he'd signed for my hometown (Stevenage). I hope his injury is behind him. Will definitely try get down to the ground to see him. We've been lacking a quality striker this season. Hopefully he can do the job Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was just about to say that I was at Stevenage for the game with MK Dons in the FA Cup a couple of weeks ago and he came on as a sub. He looked way overweight when he came on, the 76kg in the OP screenshot is massively optimitstic! Hopefully he'll shed the pounds (or stones!) and make himself a career. I had him in my Shrewsbury team in FM09 I think and he was my top scorer in Leagues 1 & 2, looks like he's doing pretty well in the OP so when I eventually get round to starting a non-league game I'll be looking him up!

adamc81 Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Completely off topic, sorry, went to the Dons v Stevenage game 2 nights ago, you have a great set of fans; shame ours didn't really show up. Fingers crossed Dixon can adapt his game after his injuries and fulfil some of that potential, will defo look at signing him when i start a lower league game.

Force Posted November 18, 2010 Author Share Posted November 18, 2010 He is very good for low/non-league.. but one thing I notice is that he's either amazing or shi*t. Split between doing a hattrick and then other games doing nothing.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbarnsie Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 to the poster who said his attitude is/was wrong dont post on a public forum when you dont no the man the injury he suffered at spurs would have finished lesser people. As stated above spurs offered him a decent job there (100k a year i believe) which he refused because he loves to play Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Force Posted November 18, 2010 Author Share Posted November 18, 2010 Here's a screenshot of how he's performed so far for me, just to hopefully make people want to get him even more. Have played him with different players/different roles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. D Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I have bought him for AFC Wimbledon Blue square premier 40 games, 21 goals League 2 41 games, 17 goals League 1 24 games, 8 goals I use him as a targetman, support.. which suits his stats best. Although his stats are not very good, he always delivers a 6,8 or a 7.. while some of my strikers with far better stats get a 6.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
