I'm guessing it was after you played them in the CL in quick sucession and he played so well in both that Schuster praised him both times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazy gra Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 I doubt Silva is worth £53m. It seems you really need to unsettle the top players to avoid paying shed loads.

Stating you have an interest in buying them. If your team rep > their team rep put in bids below their value. When it gets rejected point blank it can annoy the player.

As for my game... already had to ship Adriano out after 6months. He was signed as a backup on a free and happily came (was 29 turning 30). Started 3 games and had 15 sub appearances and yet was constantly moaning. Managed to get 7.5million + 20% from Everton on the last day of the window. He was only worth 2mill at time. He gonna be a thorn though as he still a pretty decent player. Least Everton are down in 17th, hopefully they be relegated but it not likely Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That interests the clubs and then they make bids of £0, which I negotiate to £0 + £[a reasonably high price for the reputation and type of player] over 24 months. It usually works.

Barnetboyz Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 ok a tough decision time now (or maybe not) just beaten Barca in teh CL semis and Messi is interested and has a minimum fee release of £37.5M now as soon as he was interested i was thinking buy buy buy etc but then i see i have the likes of Dos Santos, Ronaldo, Silva, Rooney, Bojan (coming) and wondered if he would fit? maybe a new tactic is in order if he signs something like GK : Riou DR : De Silvestri DC : Barzagli © DC : Sakho (VC) DM : Mascherano MR : Ronaldo (with arrow to AMR) ML : Messi (with arrow to AML) AM : Silva ST : Rooney ST : Bojan where could that squad improve?

crazy gra Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 First and foremost you'll need a left back in that team. Obviously your success has gone to your head and you're cocky enough to have an unbalanced line-up I assume Evra is DL? Is Sakho that good for you? I know he has good stats at the start, but his pace isn't the best and I don't think he has too high a PA. I can't complain about your forward line, except for selling Tevez - you're the one who mostly liked him on here and now you're letting him go! Disgrace. How much is Meulensteen on now? There was a picture of him in my paper today. i want Jose but he say no Me too. That's what made my start my Mourinho/Capello thread.And good way to win the league.

crazy gra Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Here's some screenshots of a triple Chelsea encounter - 3 games in 8 days against them. The CL semis were the bread around a possible league winning meat: (You'll have to excuse the blue lines, my comp is a little fcuked, but not enough to stop me playing FM!) No prizes for guessing the link behind all those scorelines At least Tevez won me the title with that goal.

Evon Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 11 bloody offsides It seems you also have a problem with getting them to convert their shots into goals. I've just had Arsenal twice with Chelsea stuck in between. Nightmare. The second Arsenal game was a replay after a blatant ****ing foul by Hleb got them a last minute equaliser in the FA Cup. Twats. Chelsea got beat 3-2 and then I scraped a 2-1 win against Arsenal in the replay. Usually my matches against Arsenal end 3-2 to me. Those jammy gits. How dare they score so many.

crazy gra Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I didn't notice those offsides, but the figure wasn't high in the other two games so I'm not worrying about that. As for converting shots, we'll see how the new patch changes that, but it didn't help the semi 2nd leg when I brought Saha on and he had three decent chances near the end and either decided to miss or give Cech a nice, easy save.

Mickyttudes Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I sold Tevez in second season to Arsenal. Start of fourth season, playing Arsenal when Tevez went on a Frenzy(NOT a scoring Frenzy)........ 23rd Minute : Hargreaves'll have to go off, The injury was inflicted by Tevez. 68th Min : His manager looks a bit worried(Matias Fernandez) Tevez's challenge caused the Injury. - Out for 2 Months 71st Min : It doesn't look good for Ferdinand, He collided with Tevez. 89th Min : Its game over for Ronaldo. Tevez's ..............' - Out for 5 months Match Drawn 2-2. Ended the game with 9 men. Since then, Rooney is single handedly keeping us on top.

Sakho is brilliant for me and yes his pace isn't that good but Barzagli's is too bad so it evens is self out, the thing with Tevez is that since his injury (at the the beginnning of the season) he is not continuing to get 1 month injuries at the most possibly times (e.g now for 2 monthes before the FA & CL Finals) plus with Bojan coming Tevez won't be a starter How much is Meulensteen on now?

I am top of the league through to the final of league cup still in ECL and F.A cup. Man utd have money problems at the minute so I am trying to off load a few players Carrick being one of them as he does not play many games for me. I have just beaten Sunderland 6-0 with Rooney grabbing 5 goals getting man of the match and a star rating of 10 never seen this before. I will post more up on my team very soon.
