Just had a shitter in the Super Cup, lost 2-0 in ET. Won me first league match 6-3 against Liverpool, would have been 6-0 if it wasn't for Eneyeama having a shitter. Something's wrong with him this season.

Aye, I've got Given but he's out for two months with calf injuries.
So my board gave me a rather high 60m to spend this year. I've spent well, I think.
Klose - Free
Gago - 12.5m
Reina - 8m (Needed a keeper as Eneyeama really wasn't good enough, though I'd have a go at him and pulled it off)
Finally, after an interesting news article about how Rooney wasn't happy at Utd (this was after losing twice to mean in quick succession, heavily may I add) I had an 18.5m bid accepted.

Falcao? Because if it is I signed him in my Real Madrid game and he's fucking amazing. Got something like 17 goals in his first season and he was very young. Another shit-hot striker is Daniel Glabraith from Man Utd. He is only 18 and in my Rangers game and he has been my top scorer for 2 seasons in a row, about 10 of them being free-kicks w00t

Yes, it works for me. Not that I err... :ninja:
Not really no. I mean who'd want to know his age, club and nationality?
If you ever start with Pompey, keep your eyes on Bogart and Torre in your under 18's they become decent players.
My 3 and a bit seasons with Pompey were pretty damn good.
First season I bought; Eneyeama, Curtis Davies, Darren Bent, Hasslebaink, Bale and Fernandes. Bent was awful in the season only getting 10 goals in 30 odd games, Jimmy Floyd saved me from relegation with 7 goals in 14 games (bought him in January) I ended up finishing 16!
Second season I bought Beattie, Koroman and Keera Gilbert, This time I finished 9th, Beattie got 10 goals in 30 odd (Not bad really) and Bent got 24 in 30 odd, which was dandy, Gilbert became a great RB too. Not a bad season, but not as good as I hoped.
In my 3rd and final season, I bought no one and stuck with my squad I had but bringing Torre and Bogart into the team on a regular basis, it was a good move too, with Torre get 14, Bogart getting 11 and Bent getting 27, I managed to finish 7th but didn't get a place is Europe so that was the end of my Pompey career. I moved onto NEC, but they were a load of shite so I resigned after 7 games and moved to Coventry who had a decent squad (season before they were in the Premirship) I was unbeaten in 10 games taking them to top of the Championship, but after 3 consecutive 3-0 defeats to the likes of QPR and Luton I resigned from there. I almost landed myself the Newcastle job, but their transfer funds and squad were poor at best.
I had a class record against "The big boys" with Pompey, losing only once against Liverpool and Arsenal.

Anybody signed Lewin Nythanga or Giles Barnes. My scout reckons Barnes has the potential to be twice as good as Vilakazi (my best attacking midfielder) and there isn't much difference between them now, yet only classes him as a last resort signing. :mellow:
I've got a bit of cash to splash after Coates gave me a good transfer budget and a lot of wheeling and dealing. Tried sign that Sherman Cardenas, but he weren't having any of it. I'd like a left-back so as I can push Kevin Larsen on a bit, Carl Dickinson is ok, but I'd like him to get some experience of regular lower league football. The strike-force is pretty much sorted now, as is 'keepers. I can manage with my centre-midfield, possibly with the addition of Barnes or a loanee. Wings could do with strenthening though. A backup right-back, Tye Mears for £500k, is on the way.
So Nythanga and Barnes reports would be good, also recommended wingers and left-backs for Stoke would be top too.
Cheers!
EDIT: Just seen Ghali's out for a while, DM's too maybe!

Just started my 5th season wtih Charlton. Very happy with the way I've adapted, improved and ultimately bettered the club. Charlton are now a top 4 team who have a very good chance of winning the title this season. Last season managed to get to the Champions league final losing 2-0 to chelsea ¬¬, finished 3rd in the league. I'm very confident about winning a cup this season, and am very hopeful of winning the prem.
My team:
GK: Enyeama
DL: Bridge

DC: Curtis Davies
DR: De Jong
ML: Downing
MC: Van Der Vart
MC: Sivok
MR: Mcgeady
ST: Bent
ST: Zigic/A.Smith/Eastwood/Sturridge

Marcelo broke his leg and Gattuso his foot on the same day of international duty. Out for five and four months respectively - thankfully it is March 28. Already got Nesta out with a torn calf muscle, Dida with a damaged achilles tendon and Lustig with a broken leg.
Over at Torino on the following day, Da Costa broke his collarbone and Barone fractured his arm joining Abbruscato (back strain), Tonel (damaged shoulder) and Rosina (groin strain) on the sidelines.

I sold Maxi Rodriguez to Chelsea for 22 million, as he's a cunt in real life and I needed the money. Bought Carlos Vela(who from my Lyon game was very good eventually), some guy named Araujo( I was scouting Chivas in Mexico) and Nani from Sporting Portugal.
Knocked Barca out of the cup :0

Araujo is quality, I bought him with Lazio and he's already my captain heading into the second season.
Anyway, 3 wins in a row with Lazio leaves me with 6 wins and 2 draws from my first 8 Serie A games. Just beat Boavista 1-0 in Portugal as well. Last season's top scorer Rocchi unfortunately tore his hamstring in a friendly and is out for 3-4 months, but Saviola has stepped up with 6 goals and 3 assists in 8 games. Bojan had done well when called upon as well, scoring 4 goals in 2 games (though both games were against Helsingborg:erm: )

Just had a bit of a shitty run, still won all me games, with a new attacking formation which gets the best from Rooney. However, 3 out of my four strikers are injured, the other "Sultan Cem" was untested. Had to play him for the Newcastle match, we won 1-0 Mourinho (yes Mourinho) gets fired after the match, second time I've taken his job away from him. Onto Notts Forrest and Cem still my only fit striker, nets a brace in a 3-1 victory. Looks like I could be ok.
