daemonic Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Real S.D. Alcalá - Spanish Second Division B1 2012/13 Transfers A quietish season for transfers with a few frees arriving. Sergio Rubio (DC) - Comfortable on either foot he had a very good debut season. Stefan Capdevila (DR) - Solid season in which he played a lot of games. Carl Hansen (ST) - When Hansen arrived on a free I decided to sell top scorer Ángel so expectations on the Dane were high. 20 goals and winning FPOTY more than justifies the decision. Spanish Second Division B1 Predicted: 6th | Final Position: WINNERS | Graph | Playoffs: PROMOTED Although still not predicted to finish in the playoff places we started the season well again settling at the top early on. A winning streak of 12 from the end of October until the end of January gave us a 7 point lead and we remained unbeaten in the league until 2nd placed Barakaldo beat us 2-0 at the end of March. Such was Barakaldo's form, despite our record of 24-5-0, their win against us reduced the gap to just 4 points with 8 games to go. With 6 games left we secured a shot at promotion but the title was far from secure. Ponferradina were on a brilliant run while we struggled, drawing too many games. 2 games to go and the gap was down to a single point as Ponferradina notched up their 9th win on the bounce and we scraped another poor draw. For the penultimate round of games Ponferradina played a day early and a 10th win in a row sent them top for at least 24hrs, piling on the pressure as we faced Celta B. A nervy 1-0 and we were back on top going into the final game against Fuerteventura who were fighting to avoid relegation. Finally we found some form and thrashed them 4-0 but with Ponferradina winning as well we only won the league by a single point despite only losing 1 game all season. Onto the playoffs (again) where we faced Jaén. A good 1-1 draw in the away leg gave us a chance. Another 1-1 in the second leg and with no more goals in extra time it went to penalties where we crumbled only scoring 2 of 5 and for the 2nd season we had to try for a reprieve in the second phase playoff. Real Unión were next in the list of teams to try keep us in the hell of Second Division B1 for another season. A goal down at half time in the away leg and it was looking bleak but a rant led to a superb second half and 4 goals as we won 4-1. We managed to let a 2 goal lead slip in the home leg but a 2-2 draw saw us through 6-3 on aggregate. The final hurdle between us and promotion was Atlético Madrid's B team. The first leg was away again and we didn't seem to bother taking the short trip accross Madrid. A pathetic performance ended in a 1-0 loss where we were lucky to get 0 and even more fortunate they had 2 goals disallowed with questionable offside decisions. But sometimes you need a bit of luck and we took full advantage in the second leg as we won 2-0 to take the tie and PROMOTION 2-1 on aggregate. Spanish Cup - 2nd Rnd - Poor. Other News Finances continued to improve as we made a small profit every month but dropped back to 0 when the board announced the installation of 6000 seats within our stadium. A new 350k per year kit sponsorship did help though. Club Records Stars Israel Collantes (MC) was majestic in the middle all season and should be able to make the step up to LIGA Adelante. Jacobo Patiño (AMR) - Injury prone but still managed 11 assists and 3 goals in 21 starts. Youth Watch Summer 2010 - Juan Antonio (ST) | Initial Profile | Current Profile - Continues to improve and had a great season with 18 goals. Hopefully he can make the step up a division as the coaches now rate him as having decent Liga BBVA potential. Summer 2011 - No one worth bothering with. Summer 2012 - Leandro Gutiérrez (MC) | Initial Profile | Current Profile - Good season for the U-19's who won their league. Summer 2013 - About 5 players came through that have potential so I plan to cheat and see who has the best season for the U-19's before picking one to track. Best Eleven: Season | Overall Real S.D.

Ohanzee Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Ooh, good luck el sid! Great job. Hows the two triangles doing? Riquelme behind those two giving you lots of fun I bet? Seriously, is the French FA (or what they are called) complete morons? In may we have had and have games the 5th, 7th, 8th, 10th, 13th, 17th and 20th. Would it kill them to move the last league games a bit? 3 games in 4 days?!! Congrats on promotion daemonic, well done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
daemonic Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Thanks. So I'm looking to build for next season and either my coach/assistant reports are broken or I'm the BEST manager ever because they reckon all my players are good or leading Liga Adelante players already....(hint, I don't think I'm the BEST manager ever). I think our semi-pro status is dramatically altering the coaches perception of what our expectations should be and are rating players against these skewed expectations.

Ohanzee Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Do you have your players and staff on semi-pro contracts aswell, or is it just the status of the club? I always signed all my players/staff on full-time right off. Helps alot with training improving the players faster.

I said mid-table. risky I know but it made a big difference in transfer budget, 300k vs 775k Do you have your players and staff on semi-pro contracts aswell, or is it just the status of the club?

I'm sure you'll find a way to stay up, you're experienced in these lower league team challenges All the players, staff etc have been fulltime since I cleared the deadwood that was at the club when I started so its just the club status. Biggest effect I think is the inability to scout outside Spain, although only being allowed register 2 non-EU players it wouldn't be a huge advantage.

el sid Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Ooh, good luck el sid! Great job. Hows the two triangles doing? Riquelme behind those two giving you lots of fun I bet? Riquelme injured himself once in training and once in a match, so among the starters he's the one who has played least matches. But when he does play, it's good to watch Galvan as his replacement is also playing well. The best player has again been Marquinhos, with 12 goals and 12 assists in 19 games He has learnt basic German and that really is contributing a lot to his excellent performances so far. He also has the best average rating in the league and his dribbles per game is an astonishing 11.18 ! Oh, and I've arranged to sign a 31 year old Fabricio Coloccini from Liverpool for 900k. He was transfer listed and will be joining the squad on the 1st of January. Also put in a cheeky bid for Rafael van der Vaart, also transfer listed in Liverpool. He rejected our offer and will be joining Everton in January Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohanzee Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Right, we just played the UEFA Cup final against Liverpool. At halftime we're up 3-0 after a hattrick from our striker Langlois and completely dominating the game. What do you say to such a performance? Deffinatly not that you are pleased, cause then your whole team will act like monkeys in the second half. Fulltime result 3-5. They injure 2 of my players and Torres score 3 in 6 minutes. They didnt have a shot in the first half. I HATE teamtalks! Season done, will update later. Right now I need dinner and some calming down, I'm fuming.

Ohanzee Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Yea I know, or rather I should know by now. I just clicked ask assistant and that's what he told me. Usually he's spot on. I was considering saying I was "thrilled", but I figured we can't possibly lose a 3-0 lead no matter what when we're dominating the game like that. So wrong was I. Better luck next time, but hopefully we'll never be in another UEFA Cup final We got our 2nd place in the league, so we're in Champions League next year I hope. Might need qualification.

daemonic Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Are the player ratings still the same? Difficult to tell...everyone had 7* current ability and potential before the promotion and all but 1 are the same after it. The 1 player has dropped to 6* in both now but he is 32 so could just be in decline. EDIT: Not that it matters. Anyone who looks half decent won't even entertain a contract offer from us anyway so it's the current crop or no one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

el sid Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Some of my players have won a few awards in January : Marquinhos was named in the World team of the year as a substitute. He was also 2nd in the European footballer of the year category. Jochen Stachel was placed 3rd in the European Midfielder of the year. And last, but not the least, Gustavo Cabral won the European defender of the year. Strangely however, his value is just 3.2 million even though he has 5 years left in his contract. :confused: None of the top European sides are interested in him either.

Lower Leagues Rule Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Ohanzee - The chances of us getting the fourth spot are slim though with Sporting in the Euro Cup Semis, and me in the Quarters we should get a good ranking boost, I am hoping myself for top twenty, and a good league result. By the time we get the fourth spot I will be in the Champs League. 13 players on duty is nothing, I had 19 outt, all age group games so the Portuguese FA ignored it and I fielded my own youth side plus Radakovic, we lost 4:3 to Sporting away. Razer - Congrats on joining the top league crews around the traps. TaylorB - Congrats on getting promotion in the league up to Liga vitalis, I found it easy to stay up, but I had played 4 seasons down below before making the move, so most of my players were up to that level already. You are already getting as far as me in the cup though so that worries me. I do like your new sections, the little map of Portugal is pretty cool as well. Great little bit. Nice to see top goalscorer has 1 in 2, and top assists at 1 in 3. el sid - Good luck on hopefully getting it home, I hope its not a jinx for the club as well. How many spots in germany? Som nice awards, All your oldies making the top sides amuses me, maybe I should've brought in some old guns, though now some of my young-uns are getting old. Daemonic - Congrats on finally getting yourself out of the bottom league, looks like its been a good year all around. Hopefully you can stay up, though after 4 seasons you shouldn't have a problem. Rlips - Whats happening dude, haven't had a report from you in a while, I should have my season updated pretty soon, including a few big transfers.

PRDH Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Best player through this year's intake is Stephen Carriero - I wouldn't normally show him, as he looks average, but the staff think he has the potential to be one of the best of his generation. Could be exciting. Not sure how to get the best of him. I don't feel you can risk a youngster in goal until he's ready, and he's only 15. He may be a candidate for being loaned out a few times.

rlipscombe Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 LLR - well, what's happening in Oviedo?? Firstly, we're not going to repeat our final day drama this season... in form which mirrored iacovones, we're currently 9th in January. Our problem? GOALS. We've only lost 4 times in 19 games, our defence is the 3rd best in the league but we've become draw specialists. We've drawn half the games we've played. We've drawn PSV in 2nd round of CL which i'm pretty happy with. However, i feel we MAY be turning the corner (cue jinx) We're well in touch with UEFA cup places (CL may be out of the question, but still a glimmer) so season isn't over by a long shot. I've been shuffling the pack a bit in January bringing in a few new faces (which i'll show a little later) and some needed experience. It's a little slow going at the moment as my computer is starting to creek a little as the years roll on, on top of me furiously scouting the world for new talent. i'm through the transfer window now so hopefully i can pick up a little. Keep your eyes peeled!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair he's not bad for 15!! 6ft already, and aerially dominant. if your youth facilities are good, i'd give him at least one year in youth team, and then consider loaning him out. but only to a club that will play him. if they don't he'd be better off playing for your youth team.

Lower Leagues Rule Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Well my season is over once more gutted to come 4th...I had Sporting on the ropes and was clearly infront of them until three games to go and I drew with Guimaraes, then lost to Porto. In the final game I thrashed Boavista 5:0 and all I needed was for Porto to beat Sporting and I would be through on goal differential, but no Porto couldn't even score so we sit 1 point behind and fail again.

PRDH Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 It's not even the end of July and I've already splashed my cash about the place. Two new transfers have come in. 1 Dutchman and an Italian. First up is Robert Leerdam a young striker who joins from Ajax for £5M. An excellent finisher, with a high level of composure - I feel he could be the ideal foil for Pastore. Next up is Alessandro Castelli who joins for a record breaking £16.25M transfer. Hopefully he'll be worth it, if he's not I could face the wrath of the board. I see him primarily as a left-winger rather than a striker initially at least. He is incredibly skillful, and should fill all of the league's right backs with fear. EDIT - Disaster has struck in pre-season. Giuseppe Casisa has suffered damage to his cruciate ligaments and will be out for 7-8 months. At 32 and basically missing the entire season, this could be the end of a distinguished Domegliara career. Plus I have to find a replacement from somewhere, which will be tough having blown most of my budget on the two above players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PRDH Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 The replacement for Casisa is the aging Fernando Belluschi - at 34 he has only signed for a year but for no transfer outlay, he should be good enough to last the season, and replace them both next season. It feels a bit as if I've just papered over a crack, but fingers crossed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cups A disappointing season in the cups, bundled out early in both of them. Europe Well I had another decent showing in Europe, easily through the group, disappointed to not gain more points as we took a draw in one of the away games.

Goalkeepers Gresovnik - He played every game this season, but has been sold off for 5M, and is being replaced in the summer. Hunter - Will also be sold if I can get some money for him. Defense Zafeiropoulos - With Alexio running off to man City he became the number one right back, even though he is better suited to the centre. He played well and cemented himself in the spot. Sergio - WOW, he was set to be back-up to Costa for this season and then take his place, but early on he showed he was just better and took over, this saw Costa transferred in january. Huyghe - The new young centre back doesn't have the quality of the other three for the spot, likely to be transferred as well. Novais - The youngest of our centre-backs he will be the number one cover for Tarasenko & Mendes, long live the youthful replacements. Mendes - The vice-captain is growing in the role, and the better defense this season was shown by him at the back. Tarasenko - Captain Fantastic had another season of leading from the back, without him this side would've conceded a lot more goals. Great work. Pereira - Playing this season mainly as a left back he has joined the Super Sub lists as he keeps getting a run on, covering wing and fullback is a great player, I will be keeping him around. Maurico - Started the season as a back-up and ended the season ready to leave, he just was never good enough. Midfield Barata - the young right winger from my academy just looks a little down on the quality I am going to need, so another replacement coming in July. Vanderson - He was well worth the wait and the transfer fee, but to come in and make 4 starts & 19 subs in the second half of the season averaging 6.93 is stunning. Batista - He had a pretty good season, looks to be about half a season off replacing Rocha in the spot, but the back-up is stunning already. Tiago - His only let down is his lack of discipline, he has cost us the Champions League with a penalty and a yellow card, unacceptable. Di Giuseppe - Another great season from this boy as he took the Liga Sagres Assists record, and added to his tallies in all areas, a great player who needs a new contract. Rocha - Another up and down season, he is good, but not great, possibly on the sale block as Batista moves towards him. Juan - Another season of sharing the starting duties with Crawford saw Juan become unhappy, I may just sell one of them now as they cannot both fit in my side. Crawford - Sharing the duties is never the best situation, but with two classy DM's I have no choice, I may just sell one as I have a young gun coming in July. N'Diefi - Nah just doesn't have it, a sale over the summer. Strikers Marcel - It sucks to be the third best striker in a top class team, and Marcel has fallen to that role, a few injuries saw him get on the field but he is a class behind Maradona & Radakovic. Maradona - Stretching past Marcel as he became number two behind Radakovic and led the scoring charts early on, he slowed a little later in the season, but more than 1 in 2 is good. Radakovic - He had another stellar season with 29 more goals to the tallies as he stretches out, he is signed for two more years, hopefully I can add one more.

Ohanzee Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 FC Mulhouse 2016/2017 2nd in Ligue 1 (pred: 2nd) | Transfers | Finances | Graph The League We had a draw in our second game which dropped us to midtable, but after that we just rose up to 2nd and never left. We where battling bravely with Lyon for large parts of the season, but they are simply to strong. How can you compete with 31-5-2 and 100-14 goal difference? We even beat them twice, very lucky both times, but still. Only two losses they had all season. It's gonna take one incredible season to beat them. Second place means Champions League qualification next season. The Cups We where playing our backup players for both national cups this season. Coupe de la Ligue was as bad as always with a loss in the 4th round. In the French Cup we got to another final. The 4th in the clubs history now, but Olympique Lyonnais proved to strong in the final. 3-2 loss after extra time. The EURO Cup | results We where entered right into the group stage and seeded top this time. Easy group in the end as we won all 6 games scoring 27 goals and letting just 1 in. After that Wisla, Ajax and Newcastle where brushed aside before we drew Inter Milan in the semi-final. Expecting a beating we entered Giuseppe Meazza and gave the 80,000 in crowd a huge surprise. An amazing 1-0 victory with goalkeeper Costil giving us a man of the match performance. Back home in France I was expecting Inter Milan to show us just how much better they where, but it never happened. In a close game in which we was the slightly better team we ended up comfortable 2-0 winners. Enter the final against Liverpool of England. We lost 5-3 in a game where we played the best and worst halfs of the whole season. And that's all there is to say about that. The Players We made good use of our huge squad of 35 players. Everyone played from the start at one point or another. The first half of the season Rochina was the big star. So big that Manchester United bought him in January, giving us a bit of a problem up front. Rochina have played a whole of 1 game for them after he joined. Playing 9.00 and getting 3 assists. What team they must have to not use him more. Other than Rochina, Paiva and Costil once again kept our defense tight. Chris Hudson also played well in his first season and have improved alot. Coutinho also did what I expected of him again with 31 points (goals+assists). The new stars in offence where two players who's been backups in the club before and one new signing. Yoshimi on the left wing was outstanding. His crossing is 20 now, which especially showed when Rochina was here. He had 15 assists already by January. On the other wing van der Werff showed his potential getting no less than 22 assists in 28 starts. He played second string to van Persie most of the season, but will deffinatly be the number one choice next season. Last one is also the one that's been in the club the longest. Scognamiglio, in his fifth season has now become a first choice in midfield. 24 assists for him and only injuries kept him from more. The Future Starting with finances. They look brilliant, but that £12,9m profit came almost only from the EURO Cup final + League position bonus. Without those two I'd be losing money this season. I guess I can pretty much count on £8-12m from league finish each season now though. We did get £2m more in gate receipts this year compared to last year aswell. We also still have player sale clauses giving us £500k to £1,4m the next 2-20 months. And with £36m balance we're really well covered. Average attendance went up for the first time in 3 seasons, and alot. It was 10,090 this season overall and 10,280 in the league. That's well over 2000 increase. Hopefully it will continue. We also sold out a few games. Now the big dilemma is. Do I use some of this balance and start breaking my wage budget? Two of the clubs best players (Paiva and Scognamiglio) atm have just 1 year left on their contract. But the funny thing is they both want to sing a new one. And there is no interested clubs. Problem is they both want £40k+. I'm £55k below the wage budget atm though, so I can give key players £52k a week. This means I could sign these two on longterm contracts right now. But I'm not sure I wanna start handing out £40k+ contracts. Right now van Persie is at £27k as the highest and he's not getting a new one (it's running out in a month). Coutinho and Yoshimi are at £23,5k and the rest below £15k. So £40k is quite a big leap. If I am ever to beat Lyon and get to the final stages of the Champions League though, I may just have to keep hold of these players. I also think it would just give us profit in the long run. We'd be more likely to compete and get price money, and the players would get a higher value, leading to bigger sales if they do leave. Anyways, that's the thing I'm thinking most about for next year. Other than that I'm not sure we'll need to change much. I'm gonna have a look at my staff again and see if we can change some things there. I'm asking for another improvement on training and youth facilities aswell. I wont go out and buy a striker unless we can get an amazingly good one. Langlois started showing potential in the end (hat-trick against Liverpool), and Duboc is improving aswell. We will need another one that can play AMR though since I dont plan on giving van Persie a £30k contract like he's asking, and Egana also dont want a new contract, so then Werff is the only one left to play on that side. Other than that the rest of the squad is good, but I might swap some out if offers come in that are to good to refuse. And depending on whether I give Paiva and Scognamiglio the contracts they want) I might need anoter centreback.

benroscrow Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Hi everyone, just began the challenge. Team i have taken control of is Villajoyosa and i'm in Spanish B3 division. Villajoyosa is popular tourist place near to Alicante in region of Valencia. Nicknamed 'los chocolateres' after the chocolate made in the area. Just on the mission of recruiting staff and players now. Best signing so far is Marcus Tebar from Castilla which i'm pretty happy with! Can i ask where you guys get the club logos from? As i can only find logo's for the actual league sides and not the 'previously unplayable' or 'non league' teams... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lower Leagues Rule Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Pretty stunning season from you too, Ohanzee, disappointing to see Lyon still so far ahead of you, where are you up to in the European Coeficients now? I am nearly at that stage again just waiting for them to announce that and my awards so I can complete the season write-up Hopefully I can get past Sporting next year, my chances of beating Iacovone are slipping away.

Ohanzee Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Yea it was a great season. A bit weird having such a great season and not getting a single trophy, but very happy. Especially about the 2nd spot in the league. Not sure about coef. yet, still pressing 'continue' to season update. Should get another good boost as a club, but nationally we did bad. Lyon got 4th in their Champions League group and Marseille was the only other team going passed the knockout stages of the EURO cup. I decided to give Paiva a new contract (£40k), but Scognamiglio I will wait with. There's several players slightly concerned that he might ruin the harmony in the squad, and he actually have 2 years left (not 1 like I thought). Funnily enough the second Paiva signed a new contract every top-club in Europe showed interest in him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lower Leagues Rule Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Well I managed to move up 9 more spots to reach 21st, passing Benfica in the process to be the third highest Portuguese Club, and we moved up to 5th as a nation slowly hunting down the 4th CL spot.

Ohanzee Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 We're 30th now. 2nd of french clubs behind Marseille who are 20th. Lyon dropped to 47th and 5th in France. Kinda fun considering their dominance in Ligue 1. I dont think the nation coefficients updated yet. Are they supposed to do on the same date? They are 100% exactly like last year atm.

Ohanzee Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Not for France at least. 20th of June, same date as the league reset and we get youth players income and have to set next seasons expectations, we got the update for Clubs. Now on the 1st of July the national coef. updated, and France has gone up from 7th to 5th. Mostly due to the ones above them doing even worse, points are almost the same. 20th June | 1st July So we have 3 CHL spots next year, meaning 2 teams go straight to group stages. Hopefully we can repeat the 2nd place. Board expect us to win the league though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

el sid Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 el sid - Good luck on hopefully getting it home, I hope its not a jinx for the club as well. How many spots in germany? Som nice awards, All your oldies making the top sides amuses me, maybe I should've brought in some old guns, though now some of my young-uns are getting old. It's 3 for the Champions League and 3 for Euro Cup atm. And all my oldies aren't that bad for the German first division. My worst old signing was probably Nakamura, although the sole reason I signed him was to boost shirt sales Almost all of my oldies come for free with a 1 year contract, so the club doesn't lose that much imo.

Ohanzee Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Gah! I thought I was more or less done with my player search for the summer, and then Milan comes along and bids £8m for Chris Hudson. I tell them I want £20m thinking "surely they'll just back off", but no. They bid £20m, flat, no clauses. What do I do? :confused: It's not like I really need the money, but it's a crazy bid for a central defender to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghostwriter Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 AD Universidad de Oviedo - Segunda Division 2B - Summer 2013 Thought I'd chuck the Summer activities (not that there were much) into an update. To begin with Morato (my fault), a young GK and De Lucas left before those 2 midfielders I said I might sell did get sold. Was not going to turn down £175k for them. This meant that in addition to a 3rd DC I needed a bit more central midfield as well. 3 promoted U19s followed before anyone came in. As per usual my scouts found no-one to begin with so I relied on the Trial Day: Daniel - the DC I was looking for, released by Tenerife, and looks pretty good for this division, will probably be first choice partner for Herrera pushing Llorente to the bench Aitor Gutiérrez - I had a formation fiddle and I think I will play an AMC quite a lot so this guy fits to the bill to compete with Nevado for the position, only problem is that AMC is the only position he does play so if I go back to a 4-4-2 at some stage, he won't play Beñat Elgezabel - covers a nice number of positions and will compete with Ordoñez for DMC (assuming I keep playing one), otherwise a defensive MC, very useful for the bench as well, my scouts managed to find this one Belencoso - tried to get a couple of young STs from the Trial Day but failed so got this guy instead, released by Palencia (who are pro, good and finished 4th) where he had scored 24 goals over the last 2 seasons, getting on a bit but to my eyes he still looks very capable for this division, will partner Muiños up front, another found by my scouts (who weren't as convinced as me...) Also got myself a Potential Ability 20, Player Ability 18 scout who should hopefully prove very useful. Not much change but am happy enough with that, got a bit of money and some useful freebies. Think we are capable of top 5 but then I thought the same last season and you know what happened there. The one problem I see is that although only Castilla got promoted last season, for some reason 3 of the 4 relegated sides are now in my division. All pro, and all, I presume, considerably better than most clubs in this division despite their relegation. One good thing is that Universidad de Las Palmas sold this guy.

TaylorB Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 TaylorB - Congrats on getting promotion in the league up to Liga vitalis, I found it easy to stay up, but I had played 4 seasons down below before making the move, so most of my players were up to that level already. You are already getting as far as me in the cup though so that worries me. I do like your new sections, the little map of Portugal is pretty cool as well. Great little bit. Nice to see top goalscorer has 1 in 2, and top assists at 1 in 3. My luck in cups is mainly down to kind draws, I played non-league teams up to at least round four. The portugal map idea was stole fromy uor european adventure really, so credit goes to you again . My top goalscorer, Bessa, in all honesty should have more than 1 in 2, he misses more than his fair share of easy chances too. Good season there; you're getting closer and closer to the top three every season, hopefully with Radakovic and Maradona (who looks like a top class player to me) firing then you can push Sporting down to Fourth. Ohanzee - Unlucky in the cup finals, but at least you're getting there which is good. Jean-Marc Brousse looks fantastic, I'd give him a few first-team appearances next season if I were you.

AdamFitz Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Ohanzee, you can't turn down £20m, that's a whopping amount of cash. And I'm sure you can find a replacement for cheaper. Up to you though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohanzee Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 We'll I don't need the money, like I said. And looking at Hudson he'll be impossible to replace right away. He's really class. I can find similar players, but noone with such good mental abilities. He also just signed a new 5 year contracts and wants to stay. So I decided to reject the offer in the end. He's not gonna get worth any less in a year or two. I need to keep the best players if I'm gonna beat Lyon, and especially those few that wants to stay. I'm done with the transfer window, but I dont think I'll have time to update tonight. We're through to the Champions League group stage aswell. More on that when I got the time to. Probably not untill tomorrow evening. TaylorB - There's stiff competition for the MC places in the team, but I will deffinatly give him some cup-games. He's 18 now so started training with the first-team. Already started improving faster. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
