Only 9 non-responses out of 53, not bad at all, especially as wisla isn't around at the moment!

I'm back now, touched that I had a slot reserved for me icon14.gif. It seems you've gone into a lot of work for this, I've quickly read up on this thread and the sign-up thread to get up to speed with what I've missed.

That will not go down well icon_biggrin.gif

Almost fell off my chair when the screenie loaded up icon_biggrin.gif! At least now I'm off to Norwich, though personally I'm not to fond of them either, but at least I might get some first team football icon_wink.gif.

Cheers Birdy for filling out the form for me icon14.gif spot on. Even managed to sneak my penalty taking stat in there aswell I see icon_wink.gif.

Nice to see the "player information" posts cropping up again, haven't seen them since the Qatar sign-up in FM Stories.

And I've seen that dafuge is updating the list now, I'll my name here in bold so that it should be noticable:

Whoops then!

Wow, muy rapido updates!

KUTGW buddy!

Good to see an increase in stats for me, pretty much +1 on everything. And I've lost some weight icon_smile.gif

2U21 caps and 1 goals not bad for the young gun but disappointed to not be in U19s (or is that a good thing?)

Any significant improvements out there guys?

So like what a mini-competition between us then icon_biggrin.gif Are we like the only two players who are playing on the same team?

We can call it a competition if I start playing and scoring more than you, if not we'll call it a great partnership icon_wink.gif

Denmark fails to qualify for both EURO2008 & U19 icon13.gif

Still 4 caps and 3 goals for U21 icon13.gif

Nice improvement in anticipation & composure icon14.gif plus a height gain to make it 5' 11" icon_biggrin.gif

Frankfurt has made a £1.3m + clauses bid for Julius Kapono. icon14.gificon14.gif This could be the largest initial fee if I'm not mistaken.

Hello all,

Right, plan of attack for today is...

1) Load up FM and answer your queries.

2) As dafuge put it - reveal the 'cliffhanger' of the EURO U19 Championships. icon_wink.gif

3) Announce details of the new Eurovision league. icon_eek.gificon_biggrin.gif

4) Get the ridiculous amounts of transfers that are bound to happen over the summer reported and then start the 2008/2009 season.

Answers to your queries

AhJoo - Russia play their season over the summer months so they haven't finished their season yet. Currently in 4th place in the Russian Prem after 14 / 30 games, 7 points off the leader.

Arthur Li - There are actually 5 clubs with 2 wonderkids, including Bologna, most haven't been revealed yet. I'll give you all a club / wage / value overview screenshot at the start of Sept. icon14.gif

PoopyPants - Ascoli survived their relegation playoff and will play in Serie B this season.

Review

It was Derren Brown who got the tournament off to a fantastic start with a 4 goal virtuoso display against Sweden U19s, scoring 5 goals in total, but it was Niall O'Donnell who will end the tournament with all the headlines. 7 goals in 5 games, including a brace in the final and the MoM award meant that he finished top of the goalscoring charts and overall average ratings.

James Knowles also put in a solid display during the tournament, scoring a couple of goals and helping Germany reach the semis.

All 3 strikers will now be looking to press their case for further U21 caps in the forthcoming season, with possibly even a full senior cap.
