npjones88 Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I am managing ManUtd and 2 and a half seasons in. I have poured my time and devotion into this save and worked the transfer market masterfully (if I do say do myself) to accumulate the squad below. I have also swept away all before me using TFF Reaver V4 Tactic with the occasional tweak here and there. (Definitely worth a download if you're a powerhouse team.) So I am in Jan and Ronaldo is available on a pre-contract. I desperately want him in my team and can bring him in now for 2.4m. Home-grown and a legend for me, having grown up watching him develop into a superstar at my boyhood club.However...A random scout on Messi (I always periodically do this throughout any big team save in case his manager sleeps with his wife or something and he gets inexplicably unhappy) and Messi is AVAILABLE! 37m. 31 years old. Both players will come in on 300k p/w contracts with 50% yearly increases (note, I find this is the best way to get a superstar through the door, then offer him a slightly better contract ASAP with the 50% not included and they are always delighted to resign.)Do I confirm both deals? I know Ronaldo will keep going forever and ever but Messi tends to fall to bits in his early 30's. I would probably end up moving on some of Martial, James, Hazard, Memphis to make room so could make back plenty of the money I fork out on these deals as I am already over-stocked on attackers. Feels silly to buy two ageing superstars on big, wage-structure busting deals that I don't really need but the thought of watching Ronaldo cross for a Messi goal and vice versa gives me goosebumps.TL;DR I can sign Ronaldo AND Messi in one window. Irresponsible or Irresistible?Thanks for any feedback in advance! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
yonko Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Sign them both. It would be interesting to see how you make them play together. They could also be excellent tutors for your younger players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucket Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Show us your transfer dealings please mate. That's some business you've done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
npjones88 Posted February 25, 2017 Author Share Posted February 25, 2017 Transfer dealings below (S2 is in two parts) You can see how I started with intentions of youth and having a nearly entirely HG team but became enticed by the superstars and the fun you can have at Utd. My long term dream is still to shift out all the expensive talent and create a HG team. Often get an almost entirely HG XI out on the pitch and they're really competitive. PSG are my friends Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucket Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Wow.. how'd you get Donnarumma for pennies? £15m you've stolen him? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
npjones88 Posted February 25, 2017 Author Share Posted February 25, 2017 Unsettled him, made him number one priority and had darmian keep chatting to the press. He became unhappy and got himself transfer listed. Gonna get DDG off the wage bill this summer and finally promote him. Oh yeah and this just happened on winter transfer deadline day. Accept?Could replace him with Luis from the U23s. Can't see anyone in the world I would choose to replace him with. He doesn't get a lot of game time but I like how physical and rounded he is...

bucket Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 If it was me, I'd accept that. Blinding offer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
