trundle Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Mate, you are Man Utd, hence you don't need to use a DM AND an MCd in your tactic. The MCs should both be MCas, so you really don't need another DM. Carrick and Hargreaves are fine and can be backed up with Pique and Gibson if needed. Disagree. My tactic means that when attacking I'm essentially playing with 3 strikers, so I therefore need protection in the middle. I like to play with one defensively minded CM/DMC, one attacking CM, and one who is well rounded with great passing ability (at the moment carrick) who runs the game. Gibson and Pique aren't good enough to play the holding role against half-decent teams in my opinion. You probably won't get Cech just now unless you've been bumming him for the past two seasons and Chelsea aren't doing too well. The other two are much more realistic targets Cech was unsettled and willing to join but still signed a new contract. I both he and Frey will be out of my price range anyway as I've had respective £40m and £30m bids turned down. I disagree with you on selling Benny I would have liked to have kept him, but despite his decent stats he was calamitous this season, constantly moaning about a lack of playing time then forever making errors when presented with it. sigh... chairman accepted bid from barca worth 22mill for pique My chairman accepted 15m + 40% sell on from Arsenal which I felt was a fair deal. If you want to keep him though, just offer him an improved contract and hope he stays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evon Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Originally posted by Dave Liddle:(temp replacement having sold evra to barca for 17 mill last season). Are you mad?????

And what's wrong with playing a defensive midfielder? I don't play Hargreaves that defensively but I need someone to be back covering most of the time as everyone else is forward, even my FB's, so his mentality is a fair way back from Scholes'.

Adiee Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Just beat HSV in the 1/4 final of the Champions League first leg 8-2 at Old Trafford. It's come at a cost though as Dani Alves has been ruled out for a month and Joao Moutinho 2 months. This comes 3 days after Rooney being ruled out for 5 months with a broken leg! Won the League Cup, beating Everton 2-1 in the Final. First time I've win it on this game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, i've been more than fortunate not to experience any really major injuries in the 5 seasons i've with United. The following game i battered Arsenal 5-2 in the FA Cup Semi Final, Bojan (2), Aguero, Ronaldo and Rhys Murphy. Just reached the Champions League Semi Final with a 10-3 aggregate win over HSV. Top of league, 4 points clear of Spurs and with 2 games in hand. League Cup already in the bag. Final of FA Cup against Birmingham to come too. Also won the Community Shield, Super Cup and Club World Championship this season too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazy gra Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I agree, although if Foster was really that bad for you then I guess you did need to look for another, but you should have ensured you could get a quality one in before letting him go. How much you selling Benny for anyway? As for De Sanctis, on FM06 and FM07 he's had good stats like he does on 08, but has been unimpressive. Like I said with Maldonado earlier, his stats suggest he could be awesome but he just doesn't perform as you'd expect.

Adiee Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Originally posted by Dave Liddle:should have kept foster Tell me about it!! I sold Foster a couple of seasons ago as I had Buffon as my first choice. Foster kept moaning so I sold him to Barcelona. I brought in Fabianski to replace him, then i noticed that Buffon's stats went down very fast so i was in the market for a new Number 1. Igor Akinfeev joined in January when his contract expired. I have been shipping goals in left, right and centre, although i'm scoring 3,4 and 5 goals every game, i'm conceding 2 or 3 nearly every game. There are better goalkeepers on my game around and Foster is one of them. He wants to come back to Old Trafford. He's 28 now so he's bang in his prime!

In my Valencia game he has been the 2nd best player for me in both seasons, and hes only behind Villa because Villa scores 50 goals a season. He also keeps winning midfielder of the year (UEFA) and he would be a great pairing to Ronaldo <3 </div></BLOCKQUOTE>I said I'll see how he does for my Valencia team. He had great stats on 07 but didn't overly impress, so time shall tell. Re Quaresma's price: he's just gone to Arsenal in Jan 2009 for 18.25m.Is Francesco Bolzoni any good on other people's games? I've only noticed him on this save, and have loaned him for cover at DMC after my original target, Maldonado, wasn't granted a work permit. And for anyone who plays with a playmaker, I'd thoroughly recommend setting Ronaldo as it. I've felt in the past that I haven't been getting the best out of him, but since giving him the role midway through last season, it's totally transformed him. You could probably arguue that it's turned me into a bit of a one man team, but he's now averaging a goal per game and an assist in every other. That's a pretty decent price for Quaresma.Never heard of Bolzoni, but I had Maldonado on a game on 07 and he wasn't that good. Why are you getting a DM when you have Hargy and Carrick?! </div></BLOCKQUOTE> I agree... good price for quaresma. You dont need him though.

Adiee Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Well I've just completed my 5th season and what a season it was!! Started with bagging the Community Shield for the 5th year in a row. Then collecting the Super Cup for the 4th, the Club World Championship for the 4th, I even managed to win the League Cup for the first time. Then came May! During the last 2 months of the season, i lost Rooney (5 months), Moutinho (2 months), Dani Alves (1 month), Anderson (1 month) and Bale (2 months) and the games were coming thick and fast! Giles Barnes/dos Santos and Wijanldum stepped up to perform greatly in the absence of Anderson and Moutinho, with Johnson and Denilson rotating as the holding midfielder. Ronaldo was scoring left right and centre as too were Aguero, Bojan and Murphy. I won the title for 5th year running with games to spare. that allowed me to rest my big players for the FA Cup final and the Champions League final. I battered Birmingham 4-0 at wembley, and Ronaldo, in ROoney's absence lifted the famous trophy. The 2nd time i had won it. The following Wednesday was another Champions League final for me, the opposition were Lyon who I had knocked out the season before in the 1/4 final stages. With a Domestic Treble already in the bag (Quadruple if the Community Shield counts!), a European Treble was in my sights. Lyon were the better side in the early stages, but they never capitalised on their domination and my team went into half-time 2-1 ahead! I was thrilled! I told my players not to get complacent and I thought it had worked when, a couple of minutes after the restart, Bojan scored to make it 3-1 and seemingly put the game beyond the French side. Lyon came at us like a side possessed! They managed to get a goal back but it was too late! Manchester United won the European Cup for the 5th season in a row! So, 2012 has been my greatest ever season and it has lifted me to 1st place in the Hall of Fame! Community Shield - 5 times League Cup - 1 time FA Cup - 2 times Premier League - 5 times Champions League - 5 times European Super Cup - 4 times Club World Championship - 4 times I could've done better though. With regards to plans for next season, Pique and Evans are 25 and 24 respectively and are not really first-teamers. They have commented on the lack of play time so I am looking to offload them. Evra has 1, maybe 2 seasons left as my first choice left-back with Bale as cover, although rotation is more suited now! Dani Alves is 29 and i am desperate for a young right back with pace, but i haven't found any. Rafael spent the season on loan at Sunderland so i may use him this season and see how he goes. I have agreed to bring back Ben Foster to be my first choice (i should never of sold him!) and will repace Akinfeev. Buffon, although he's 34 and no longer up to the demands of Premier League football, has just signed a new 5 year deal. I want him to retire and become a coach for me. No major transfer activity will happen, just replacements for Pique and Evans and Dani Alves, Micah Richards, Steven Taylor, Patrice Evra, Breno and Bale are top class. I have Bostock, Fleck and Zeefuik returning from year-long loan spells and will see how they do (barring Zeefik, who i am looking to sell) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, there are a few people that you need to get replacements for as they are getting on a bit now so: EVDS needs replacing -Try for Akinfeev/Ustari Your defence is ok but you need to think about a replacement for GN - Look at de Silvestri/Alaves Long term you'll need to replace Silvestre - Look at Bale Midfield is good although you may want to get a replacement for Scholesey as Gibson isn't up for it on most games - too many options to mention. Eagles isn't good enough but will do ok as backup. I'm impressed you got that out of Saha, but you do need to replace him, depends on the style of ST you want but a couple of young-uns - Aguero/Karim Benzema. Over all as you'd expect we have a strong squad and so it generally means replacing older players over time Silva was a great shout. Who you get/need depends on the formation you use.

Evon Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 The thing is that I don't think O'Shea is good enough to actually start many games. I've got Cahais on loan to Antwerp but I'm not too sure about him either tbh. He's great defensively but doesn't add much to the attack and may not get a work permit if I bring him back. And Silvestre went to Pompey for £10m already. And I am sort of a winger short if you don't count Eagles. But I'm not too happy about Evra being on the wing. I'll leave it till the summer.
