Evon Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Neville is still good enough mid-way through my 4th season, so I wouldn't worry about him just yet. He would probably still be my number 1 if it wasn't for the amazing Di Iorio (regen), what a gem he's turned out to be.What season are you in anyway Evon? Yeah he's great for me so I will only replace him if he's declining fast or when Ramos becomes available. Or if Rafael improves enough. And I'm just at the start of Season 2.

Campbells Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Unfortunately neville started to decline in January season 2. Obviously i kept him on, he tutored, Rafael and two other right backs who are now, very good players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talented_Yak Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 i have found this regen in the boro reserves, scouted him and the scout (19, 19 for judging) says he would be a quality signing. Problem is boro want over 18 mill, greedy b******s! should i accept this and sign him for the future? http://tinyurl.com/d4znff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt4ani Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 hmm. he looks good but 18mil is one hell of a lot of money for the future. I would advise against it and look elsewhere. Or unsettle him and make him request a transfer, you might get a lower price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Valentino Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I reckon he is worth 18m if you have it, but only of course he has very high potential. If that is the case he could become absolutely fantastic, his off the ball and anticipation could increase alot yet and his pace will improve as he is only 17. I would suggest you play him less important games and give him first team experience in order for him to improve. I think you've unearthed a great regen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Lister Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 How much does loaning players out do? Is it better to leave them in the reserves with top training facilities?Top question.

matt4ani Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I have loaned them out before, I never really see a big increase in there attributes.

Mickyttudes Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 they mostly complain after returning from loan coz they didn't get much first-team action at that club.

LCFCtillidie Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Just won my 5th Premiership title in a row, Lost in CL semi finals to liverpool 2-1 Agg bad times. Only winning one trophy this season is my least successful season so far. Signed this youngster for 14M, my mate told me I was mad for signing a 17 year old for 14 Mill but I gave him 8 starts last season and he scored 7 goals Played him in my first game of the EPL this season against Ipswitch and he scored two goals.

Talented_Yak Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 well i bought that regen lad for the princely sum of 19.5 mill, Rooney was injured and Rossi was coming back up from a long injury so the logical option was to play the 17 year old, and guess what? he scores! a simple tap in but a goal none the less, he worked hard throughout that whole match and looks a great signing (Y) http://tinyurl.com/dgn8tv Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played with 1 notch down from Wide, Cross rarely, Cross from Mixed, Run with ball- mixed, High tempo. I've noted that he enjoys cutting inside & score. Also, a fantastic receiver of through balls from CMs (Veloso/Carrick/Joa Moutinho) in my team. Berba- offloaded to Real Madrid for 38mil at the beginning of SE2. He was not that great in SE1.

matt4ani Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I am in the first season and I got knocked out of the FA Cup by Liverpool in the 3rd round. I won the League Cup beating Arsenal 2-0. Arsenal have one the league with 3 games to go. They have 93 points, 30 winds, 3 draws and 2 Losses. They have been immense. I am on 80 points, Chelsea on 70! So us and Arsenal have been the top two all season. I just couldn't keep up with them. In the Champions League I am due to play Chelsea, after having Juventus and Celtic in the group stage. I beat Villareal in the second stage on GD. Then beat Arsenal, just beat Barcelona. So good season, I want to the the ECC and I am disappointed not to have one the League Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt4ani Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Just to add even though Arsenal have one the League, I have played them 5 times. The first they beat us 6-1 at Old Trafford It was devasting. The team collapsed. Then the league cup final we dominated them, 2-0, first leg of ECC 1-0, second leg 2-0. then 3-3 in the next league game. So even though they won the league by a mile, we are better then them.

Force Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 How do people rate Jo? Looking to replace Berbatov, and had an offer accepted of 3.9m as he's transfer listed at Man City. To be honest, if you want some good stars then go to Man City in 2nd/3rd season as a lot of them have been transfer listed and are available at a low price. They just sold Elano for less than 4m to L'pool.# Vincent Kompany at Man City.. asking price 3.1m - Yes/No? He's 24. Need a new CB as Rio is getting a bit old. Thanks.

I reckon he should be getting more goals than Berba yet Berba is my topscorer most of the time and a slightly more prolific assist maker even though I designated Rooney that role. In my one season fully played that is.

What settings were you using on Ronaldo when he got those performances?

Evon Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Well I won everything too My goals were just spread out alot which always annoys me.

Also longshots is bad for him as he's rubbish at them and he will waste loads of opportunities. Putting cross ball on Rarely is better but Mixed is good to be safe. Apparently it is possible to make him drift inside. Not sure how though. Also your instructions for Rooney seem to be making him a FCd but he still got 44 goals? Who played alongside him? And were they further up the pitch? Also, Berbatov is brilliant for me. Topscorer last season and joint top scorer this season though it has only been 2 games. That and his assists record is phenomenal. He's the targetman of the team too and Rooney is the supplier yet Berbatov outscores and outassists Rooney.

Finchy^ Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 End of Season Report So I have completed my first season with Man Utd and took out the Champs League and the Premiership. Lost to Chelsea in the FA cup and Arsenal in the league cup. Overview Players Transfers Summary Fairly happy with the season, took the Prem and the CL which is good and both Rooney and Berbativ have been excellent this season with 30 goals or more each. Bearing in mind Rooney was injured for 2 months with a broken toe as well I consider that a good achievement. I need to replace Neville or get a young RB to bring through, Mattock is going to get some games next season and Foster will start now. I dont have my transfer budget yet but any recommendations for players? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
reillyg Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Finchy looks similar to my first season, I changed to Tevez and Rooney in second season and it Tevez has becoem awsome better than Rooney. You should try to loan out more youngsters, You should by Witsel only cost me £2 mill and he is awsome backup pushing fist team and versitile which is useful. Also Camacho is awsome youngster will be great understudy to Hargreaves etc. You also might be able to get Bojan on a free, wait untill his contact runs out at Barca runs out then offer him one when he is unnatached, assuming you are on 9.2 patch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
