Canabary Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Just have to say this. Pirlo is ACE. Get him on the same pitch as speedy Ronaldo, Rossi and Tevez and you have yourself an assist making god. He's made more assist in the last 6 games than most of my players did in the entire season! He's so good in fact, that if I'm losing I can just put him onto the pitch and watch him spray the most beautiful passes around. Rossi and he can't get enough of eacother, never seen someone play that well together, Pirlo looks up, puts it far, Rossi latches on and puts it into the goal,he's making chances out of nothing. Had a freekick in my own area, a curved ball flew over the defense and straight to ronaldo on the BACK POST who could easily put the ball behind the goalkeeper, I've never seen such a good pass in FM ever, I've hardly seen such a good pass in real life to be honest. Love the guy, everyone should get him. 5m if he doesn't lay for milan 16.5 if he does. Worth every penny! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trebor1185 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Anyone got tips on getting more money for my players. I want to sell Park, Saha, and fletcher seen people getting £15m+ for Saha + Fletcher but teams only want to pay less than there value. I'm in the first season still, want to get a new striker in the Jan transfer window, hopefully aguero because hes unhappy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canabary Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 transfer list them, set the asking price to 0. wait, and watch clubs flock to them. after about a week offer them up with 7.5-30m over 24 months, depending on the quality. You could easily get 30m for carrick. And since it's your first season, probably for Saha too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

trebor1185 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I signed Aguero in the end, but i didn't notice that he didn't get a work permit. So im left with a quality player who I can't play. Tried offering him a new contract but he won't sign because he wants £42k per game, the most the board will let me offer is £20k and he wont take that. Think i'm going to leave it for a few weeks and try again see if hes reduced what he wants. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canabary Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 uhm.. wy are you playing with 4 strictly center backs in the back four? And where is Evra and Simpson? Nakamura I know is crap by the third season, so why you have him on there is beyond me, same goes for Carew... Your midfield looks good, but Van der vaart is strictly an amc, he's not half as good in the MC role, but I suppose that Farrow makes him play as an AMC =/ As for improvements... a new right back and a new left back. Criscito is an awesome centreback, but hardly a fullback, Samba is a decent centerback but hardly a right back, and hardly united quality... Benzema instead of care and Nakamura, cause they both stink by the 4th season. Is Nakamura even performing for you?

Taiwo easily kept Clichy on the bench, and that's saying something. Also look at Chielini (probably best rated on the game) Gareth Bale (for obvious reasons) and Leighon Baines.
