Never really had the Tevez problem as quite a few post about. Tevez and rooney usually is a deadly partnership for me.

I usually play Tevez behind Rooney or using a barrow to amc from his striker posistion

zordan wad individual instructions u give to rooney and tevez </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Nothing special really, tevez on attacking mentality and short passing with forward runs and Rooney with very attacking approch and mixed forward runs

gary neville is retiring and i want somebody who is cheap and good!

if ya still got jonny evans,try retraining him. it wont take long because he's either footed and plays well their too.

On failing that take a look at zuiverloon(sp) plays in holland and is a good right back. might be in the dutch squad. improves well too. got him on my game for cheap.

Iago is good on the new patch, I am currently trying to get him on a bosman end of 3rd season but aint interested at the moment. Gai Assulin is another who turns out well.

Matt - I would sell Soldado not good enough imo, if your after a player you can play anywhere try Ben Arfa.

Hmm will look to offload Soldado soon. Sadly Ben Arfa just moved to Chelsea...under my nose hehe. Bidding for Iago. I'm finding it hard to find players to help the cause. think i need another MC to play backup/rotation with carrick, veloso and zapater.

Hey guys... I just cant get united winning :@.. ive ried 3/4 tactics.. created loads and done a full pre season with each .. but still no srong results leading to a poor 3-0 or 2-0 deafeat to chelsea in CS...

.

Please.. if you have a strong tactic prefferably an attacking one seeing as i usually sign players such as Assulin/ Wijnaldum/ Saivet/ Kroos/ Thiago/ Dos Santos so alot of potential attacking ability...

.

.

PLease reply soon because im slowly loosing interest in the game... and its a good game.

Hey guys, just about to start a new career at United and I'm was going to see what I could do with the current squad without making any major changes. Looking at the squad though, it obviously needs at one top class striker to at least fight with Saha in challenging Rooney and Tevez.

I'm playing on the original 8.0 version so what do you think guys? Thanks in advance icon14.gif

Pretty solid team there icon14.gif

You could use a back-up player to Evra at LB. Someone younger prehaps.. Have a look at J.Mattock, A.Traore, A.Kolarov, M.Sakho (Also plays at CB) or G.Bale.

I just after starting a new game with Man United and had planned to keep almost the whole squad and to finish the season without making any major signings.

However David Gill is after accepting two 30 million pound bids for Owen Hargreaves.

I don't want to sell him as I always find him good but I now have no choice.

I am looking for a replacement who is a good tackler and can protect the back four but who can also pass the ball.

I am also after selling Fletcher for 24 million pounds.

As for replacements.. M.Veloso is the ideal one.

Ya I know you can get crazy amounts for players on the new patch.

The even crazier thing is that it was Reading who bought Fletcher.

I can't ever imagine them spending 24 million on a player.

I also just found Angelo Palombo from Sampdoria who looks like the perfect replacement and will only cost around 11 million.

Has anyone ever had any experience with him?
