I know Dudu Cearense really cheap, I've tried for Tomas Sivok but they reject the bid, and when it's accepted, he doesn't want to come to Scotland.

Hmm, i offered a contract to him and he accepted in my Rangers game. Although i cancelled it as i could get Diop instead. Who by the way is amense! So far he's played 18 games for me, scored 7, assisted 10 and had man of the match 9 times. Exellent player, was worth that £3.5m i paid for him. Right now he's keeping Bazza out the starting line-up.

Waaa!? :shocked: 3.5 million for Diop? Fulham never even accept my 5m-7m bids for "The Wadrobe".

I got him because Fulham got relegated, along with Everton and Bolton. I could even get people like Arteta, Beattie for £1.5m. I ran out of funds though.

 

[Akineye]

It's always a stroke of luck when Fulham are relegated* in the first season, you can get Bouba Diop and Boa Morte dirt cheap.

*Unless you're managing them, obv.

 

[nikos24]

Diop for cheap? I have to look into that, Baraja is now 33. I mean, better find a quick replacement. But if Fulham is not relegated, is he hard to get?

For less than about 10m, I'd say yes.

 

[nikos24]

Ooph. 10m. That's pretty much a lot. What game are you playing now Mat?

Just got back into FM. I've carried on my Sunderland season from that competition, the fans expect me to challenge for the title again, stupid pricks, like the Carling Cup wasn't enough. After a pretty poor start with opening games such as Liverpool and Chelsea, I'm now 11th after about 6 games.

Eddie Johnson is a must buy for everyone needing a striker, 28 goals in 37 games for me last season, and something like 24 league goals in 31 league games. I got him for 3m and his price has shot up to 7.5m after a season, amazing player. I think I've babbled on about Johnson a couple times before aswell so I'll shut up now.

 

[Yossi]

I got Johnson in my Sunderland game, I played 9 Premiership games, and I don't actually think he even scored. :unsure:

 

[nikos24]

:laugh:

Johnson is a great player and must buy indeed. IF you have time, Zalayeta is also class in getting goals, but he is probably around 27,28 in your game. Who is your keeper Mat?

I've kept on trying for Akinfeev, but CSKA went all the way up to 25m! I accepted the offer, but Akinfeev wouldn't even come. And he has like 16 cleansheets in my game, i badly want him. Canizares is starting to fall apart, goals here and there, thankfully my offence always comes to the rescue.

Weird. All games are totally different really.

My mates have had games where Stead gets them 30 goals a season, where-as on mine he couldn't hit a barn door.

I've just sold Kelvin Davis for 1.5m and got Grohe (young brazillian keeper labelled "the next Marcos") for 1m and hes been amazing. I also signed Scott Carson on a season's loan for no fee or wages in the same week, great keeper for back-up.

 

[nikos24]

Grohe, yeah, i remember you telling me about him. I should look into him again. Scott Carson, I'm playing in La Liga, i hope i could still search him. Isn't he playing for Liverpool?

 

[Keyser Soze]

Yup, Liverpool. Full season loan - no wages and no fee, well worth it.

 

[Charlie]

I went to the dugout.net place to see their lists of youngsters and theyre promising but time will tell that of they step up to the 1st team, hope I dont get bored of the game. Ive bought like a whole page of the youngsters from the digout site and all together they werent that much. I reccomend buying Igor Akinfeev, good keeper and a wonderkid, only 20.

PS Thanks Top Gun for the name of that player that I was asking about.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Costs about 15 million though, doesn't he? :mellow:

 

[Keyser Soze]

What a joke. Just seen Owen might be interested in a move to Sunderland so I declared my interest only to get fans at my throat because they are "concerned" about my "unhealthy interest in him". :laugh:

 

[Sweey]

:laugh:

 

[Original?]

If you want defensive midfielders go for Marco Donadel or Antonio Vera, both absolutely awesome.

 

[Sweey]

I have a plan.

I will rename one of the worst sides in Serie C2, put all their players on free transfers, whack the club's reputation up to 20, give them a great following and stadium (around 70,000 capacity) and also £150m or so. From that, I would be required to build an entire squad whilst the club reputation of 20 would mean that I would have to blow the entire division away not once, but three times in succession and challenge immediately for the Scudetto or end up getting sacked for under-achieving.

Any comments?
