I doubt they can recall him - when you go for a loan contract, usually the "Can play against own team" and "Can play in cup matches" boxes are ticked, but the "Can be recalled" isn't, unless you change it. Like with Sneijder, I unticked "Can play against own team" as an incentive for his club (PSV I think) to agree to it, but left the cup one ticked... and it paid off in the League Cup...

PSV? PSV?! He's the younger brother of Wesley Sneijder and one of Ajax' finer prospects.

How dare you! :crymore:

Ha ha... I think I said PSV because I'd just played them in the CL...

Or just because all the Dutch teams are the same to me...

That's unfortunate... wasn't another team like Real in for him? You could offer him to them?

Ended up selling Pirlo to Real Madrid for £25m. The problem with Real had been they were spreading the money over 18 months but they came in with a cash offer. I've already signed Miguel Veloso for £12m as his replacement but am unable to acquire Mamadou Sakho due to Bordeaux being tossers. I've offered a contract to Ignacio Camacho of Atletico Madrid after they accepted a £10.5m bid. That would mean Emerson (I haven't loaned him out because I want to make money from him) and Pirlo replaced by two quality youngsters and Thiago Silva a new defensive acquisition.

I already know I'll need one striker (Vantaggiato), one right-back, one left-back and one central defender at the end of the current season as well as a goalkeeper of quality. Would help if we had money...

No Balotelli or Giovinco for me although if I do get a massive offer for Kaka, I'll replace him with Rosina and, perhaps, Giovinco.

Can any of you check if Geoffrey Castillion is any good? Supposedly one of our biggest talents, but he was rather wank in 2008.

Cheers in advance.

Fucks sake, I thought I had the Dutch league running and I don't - gutted now :faceplm:

He's not in my game Barry but he is in the database. Random stats, ability of 75 and potential of -8. Someone like Pato would have a potential of -10. His positioning stat is 2, teamwork, finishing and stamina 8, pace and concentration 9, acceleration 10, strength and creativity 11. Looks pretty poor.

Well I find it strange Real Madrid can one minute offer me £25m cash for Pirlo and the next nothing up front but £25.5m over 24 months. Perhaps that's just them. No bugs as yet, unlike the demo which was astonishingly poor.

So no luck selling Pirlo yet?

Mario Balotelli and Stevan Jovetic are two more youngsters I have been recommended. I searched players whose contracts are expiring, Thiago Motta, van Bommel, Nakamura, Bullard and Daniel Strurridge are the most noteworthy players.

I sold him to Real for £25m and bought Veloso and Camacho with the money.

Balotelli and Jovetic - two great youngsters but both expensive. I want Lavezzi from Napoli but there's fuck all chance of that going through on the cheap.

This is really irritating. For every game I have been put in as favourites... even this game against Man U... at Old Trafford!

I decided to try and play a counter attacking game feeding long balls for Torres... but my team never tried that, so in the end I was lucky to get a 0-0 draw. Gerrard got a 7.5 rating... what for, I have no idea.


And despite getting a point from Old Trafford, because the fucking bookies had me as favourite, for NO REASON! my fans aren't happy with the draw.

Just started playing as Birmingham

Manager Denzel Washington is now known for storming out of press conferencers and for assembling a rag tag group of old bastards including Geoff Horsfield, Dean Windass, Andy Cole, Alexey Smertin, Darren Moore and Michael Johnson.

It may then not surprise you that we lost to barnet in the league cup first round.............

I've just started my first game on this, I'm Chelsea and have £30million available. Looking to get rid of Paulo Ferreira, Belletti, Hilario and a few of the younger players. I've so far agreed fees for Tales, Ignacio Camacho, and Pavel Pogrebnyak. There's not much that I need to do at the club as they already have a good enough first team and backups.

EDIT - damn, Paulo Ferreira and Belletti only went on loan to Aston Villa and Man City respectively. :(

You got Windass? Does Horsfield come with testicular cancer? And sign Paul Furlong and Richard Shaw for fuck's sake.

I started one yesterday with Wigan and sold Michael Brown, Jason Koumas and Kevin Kilbane. I bought in the summer Stephen Hunt from Reading, Rodrigo Possebon on loan and Ched Evans on loan. Just hit January and i'v sold Antonio Valencia to Tottenham for 12 million and bough some 17 year old from Ajax called Sneijder aswell as Hendry Thomas (another Honduran). I'v sold Erik Edman to Everton in January and as a result to that i'm attempting to sign Jacobsen from Aalborg the left back. Best result of season has to be my 2-1 win at Old Trafford.

Rodney Sneijder is a cracking player... I'd have signed him if I had money.

Seems everyone except me was given a transfer budget...

Anyone know what Hull's budget is? I am tempted to start again as them, so I don't have rediculous expectations every game
