giggs is too old. 35 yrs of age. i only use him as emergency backup. whats the min price i can get for akifeev ?

Apologies then. Will make me learn to read earlier posts then.

I'm currently in March 2008. Ronaldinho has asked to leave Barcelona! Major news throughout the footballing world. I've sent every single one of my scouts, one after another to watch him and they have all said to sign him at any cost. I'm starting negotiating with Barcelona very soon. They've recently shown an interest in Carrick, so I may use him as bait!

Well I'm going to sell Scholes at the end of the season. van der Sar, Neville, Scholes and Giggs are all going to leave. I have Lulinha, Alex, Banega, Dos Santos, Bojan and David all coming in the summer. Breno joined in January.

I currently have Kaka and Iniesta on my shortlist (well, before this Ronnie). Next season i plan to use a 4-2-3-1 or 4-1-2-2-1 formation and I think Ronaldinho would fit the bill perfectly behind the front man.

I offer Bojan £40k a week and told him he'd be used in the squad rotation system. He wasn't interested in a role below that. With Dos Santos, I told him he'd be used in the squad rotation system and offered him good terms. David is a 20 year old centra back who plays for Palmeiras in Brazil. He's a fantastic player. I suggest you sign him.

Hello again All.

After exchanging my corrupted file in Woolies, I have started another United game.

First Season Transfers In:-

Banega

Wijnaldum

Barkroth

Aaritalo

Adriano (loan)

Podolski (loan)

Banega was about £2 mil whilst Wijnaldum and Barkroth were cheap. Adriano was a beast on loan and was a good back up to Rooney & Tevez.

Podolski came on loan in January as Rooney injured himself for 3 months.

Players Out:-

Fletcher

Bardsley

Dong

Eagles

Fletcher went to Newcastle for £15 mil over 24 months!

Community Shield - won on penalties

League - won on last day of season

FA Cup - lost is Quarters to City!!

League Cup - lost in Quarters to Arsenal

Champs League - lost in Semi's to Barca who played well and beat me in both legs.

Barca went on to beat Velencia 7-5 in the final within 90 minutes!

As my finances were great I was offered £53 mil transfer budget at the start of the second season.

Second season transfers in:-

Aguerro £33 mil but worth every penny.

Lulinha

Transfers out:

Aaritalo £10 mil to City over 24 months plus 25% sell on fee. I know he becomes a good player but I wasn't playing him and he was unhappy.

I am in the January (2009) transfer window and am still in all cups plus I am second in the league.

I used budget adjustment so I still have £40 mil transfer budget.

My targets are Akinfeev or Ustari (GK), Marcelo or Bale (LB).

Who is best out of Akinfeev and Ustari?

Who is best out of Marcelo and Bale? I really just want back up for Evra but someone who could play straight away (Evra is unhappy) if I sell Evra.

Regards,

Darrell

Well I haven't seen Mezenga's stats but I wouldn't sell him yet. Loan him out to get him out there and sell him. Sell either Carrick or Hargreaves too. Buy a CB too. Why the hell did you sell Vidic? And Brown!!!!!

Red Star vs Man Utd

The first goal in this is amazing. It came a few seconds in and the passing in that was just amazing. Ronaldo's goal was special too. All the goals were great in fact. 4 goals in 13 minutes *drools*

Because some clubs try to poach them away and i refuse to sell, then they became unhappy because i don't allow them to transfer so i got no choice to sell them.

Coming to the end of my 4th season and with 5 games left I am 3 points clear of Chelsea. only problem is this season my defence has been very leeky. Rio and Pique are my main pairing with simpson RB and Marcelo Lb. Thinkin of bringing in Ramos for 40M to replace Rio in long run but provided competition at Rb til Rio retires(he's 32 atm)

Clearly your tactics as he doesn't make any mistakes for me.

What formation did you use? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Used a 4-4-2 with width slider up to max. Milan have a narrow nidfield so their full backs were getting exposed by Ronaldo and Nani time after time. Saha as target man with both full backs and wingers on cross to target man (wingers from byline). Thought i'd try and keep it tight for the 2nd leg - it ended up 3-3!

Just about to start the 2nd season i got Michael Owen in the first season but he didnt do too well Saha was top scorer with 26 and then Rooney with 24. Just sold Tevez for 30 million as he is complete crap for me. I need another striker and have around 20 million to spend on one any recommendations?

Can't possibly be as Pique and Vidic and even young Cathcart and Evans don't make mistakes and they have the same instructions.

Dong Fangzola did well for me as back up in the first season.

Or you could try bringing in Adriano on loan.

Either Ferdinand lost confidence because of his **** performances with tactics which you changed that still didn't make any difference or the tactics simply aren't suited to him. Clearly all those defenders are very different to Ferdinand. The key thing is, they're all slow and not as composed. Buy someone similar to him like Albiol and it'll probably be the same.

Basically...your tactics. Because he's absolutely fine for me. My best defender apart from Evra in fact. Only because Vidic faces harder opponents though.
