Actually you can wait till there on a 'unprotected contract' and then you will get them for free.Akineye said:

I finally bought the game last week, I waited until after my exams and coursework as I knew the game would get the better of me.
I've never really been one of those people who can whizz through seasons and transform minnows into great whites, but I like the game. on CM4, a friend of mine edited Metropolitan Police into the Conference, and played until about 2030, where he'd won everything there was to win (and Kieron Dyer was England manager!).
Predictably I'm Chelsea, although I'll probably try my hand at some League 1/2 side sooner or later. Mourinho won't come back to be my assistant manager no matter how much I offer him and Cavenaghi is not living up to the hype. He'll be off this summer. I got rid of Geremi, Eidur and Smertin as well.
Does anyone think it's too easy though when you're a club like Chelse? I've now played 11, won 8, drawn 3, lost 0. Scored 17 goals and not conceded at all!
By the way, everyone click the link below and download the superpack from the website:
English Premier League Superpack
It adds PL player face, club kits, club badges and the Premiership logo. Really worth the download.
EDIT:
It's now
P12 W9 D3 L0 F23 A0
After a 6-0 win over Bolton.

Chewsea are the easiest club to manage in the game.
You can buy anybody you want, and I don't want to be judgemental, but I reckon managing a team like that takes a lot of the fun out of the game.
If you haven't already installed the patch, you really should. That makes the game a lot harder for inexperienced managers at big clubs. Still though, the Chewsea job won't really be a challenge.
I am currently enetering the stage where my FM05 exploits are affecting my social life. I am engrossed in my game where I am Ipswich, challenging for a UEFA Cup spot.
Interestingly, Mourinho was sacked on my game after one season, and has been replaced by Ian Dowie. Made me smile.

I've been playing FM for about a month now but I must admit that I prefer CM 03/04.
On the huge database Guatemala have some cracking players for Championship clubs. Dwight Pezzarossi + Ade Akinbiyi + Mario Rafael Rodriguez = Greatness. Alessio Cerci can be useful if Roma release him too, I made 4 million from him in two months. Beltin'.
All in all though I prefer 03/04. It just has that X factor. Also, FM won't open on my Laptop - it just keps minimizing - which is a bugger!

What kind of squad have you managed to build up?
I'm only now starting out with Ipswich, I've had this game for quite a while now but only now really beginning to play it.

this is from CM 03/04 but.. it made me realise that i needed a more balanced squad.. i had like 8 midfielders and 5 strikers..
Just signed Totti on a free transfer.
Ronaldinho's contract was unprotected and his value was only £18 million, meaning I would only have to pay that much in compensation...
I sold Veron and Jenas to get the £18 million needed and Ronaldinho is now an Ipswich player.
Though in hinsight, I should have realised accomodating Totti and Ronaldinho into the same team can be quite tricky.
My defence is Dawson, Slivestre, Billy Jones and Scott Mitchell.
My midfield is Alexis Nicholas, Tommy Miller, Ian Westlake and Ronaldinho.
I guess I should really replace Tommy Miller with Totti, but knowing him from my Hartlepool days, I can't bring myself to do it!
