Sometimes for me they do, only once though, though I only have Lucas, Mascherano and Leto who are South Americans so it doesn't affect me badly.

I just got the game and personally I love it at the moment. I'm Sampdoria as I wanted a decent challenge. Bought Samuel Kuffour (For some more experience at the back), and Mika Aaritalo, he looks a good prospect.
Well, I beat this team 3-0 in the first leg of the Euro Vase. Cassano, Montella and Ziegler found the net. I'm really confused now that i'm playing Ipswich in a friendly. Like, who the fuck are these guys...
:huh:.

Managed to snatch a win from Juventus, 3-1 down with 10 minutes left. I bring on Asamoah Gyan on the right wing, he sets up Marvin Angulo and in the dying minutes he nets 2 goals to make it 3-4. I end up 2nd in my CL group behind Real, and Juventus ends third on 1 point. Oh yes :smug:
Sporting Lissabon and Olympique Marseille seem to be the biggest suppliers of talents.

They were actually considering that. However, I made them change their minds by winning the England League :smug:
I don't have words to describe my disdain for Barcelona in the game. They show interest in almost every player I scout and are obscenely rich. They bought Marco Amelia for 10.5m, Gerard Pique for 20m, Cassani for 28m, Jonathan de Guzman for 30.5m, Fabricio Collocini for 20.5m, Vincent Kompany for 24.5m, Adrian for 10.25m, Valdivia for 12m and my two sidebacks (Clichy for 28m and Eboue for 17m).

That's about £22m too little for Clichy. 
God I can't wait till I've got my computer up and running. Chelmsford City ftw.

I'm in late February 2009 in my Milan/Amkar game.
Manager number 1 at Milan: I've suddenly found a sweeter spot in the formation I always use and I'm scoring a bit more realistically now with strikers getting goals and Pato showing up Adriano, Gilardino and Ronaldo. Valiani has the squad's highest Serie A average rating of over 7.60 while Seedorf has been absolutely useless this season to the point that I dropped him from my CL squad in January in favour of "the next Clarence Seedorf", Georginio Wijnaldum. Fiorentina were keeping up with my relentless pace in Serie A until yesterday when they lost five matches out of about nine and they're now ten points behind me. I drew 0-0 at home to Udinese at home this morning, my first dropped points at home. Won 3-0 at Olympiakos in the CL second round scoring all three goals in the first fifteen or so minutes and have the second leg next time I play.
Over at Amkar :huh: Nikola Drincic, one of my best players and only two capable defensive midfielders in my squad is intent on leaving - and his contract runs out in seven months. Thankfully this morning one of the big Moscow clubs offered £1.5m for him even though they can sign him on a free soon so I've hastily accepted the offer and he'll be off. Got some excellent (considering how crap my squad are) attacking midfielders in including Alexandr Gatkan and managed to get the left-back Juan from one of the Moscow clubs too. The season starts in March and my assistant manager believes that I'll exceed the board's ambitions of me avoiding relegation and should be aiming for a top half finish. Can't find a single player who would improve my squad that wants to join me now. Also managed to prevent striker Predrag Sikimic from also leaving me in similar circumstances to Drincic. On his return from pre-season he handed in a transfer request but a week later took it back :erm:

Maybe, but he kept moaning about his intention to leave. A bit à la Ashley Cole. He wasn't a big loss also, as I had Armand Traoré, Miguel Veloso and Sakho ready to take his spot in the starting eleven.
Is the FM challenge still up? I might join in.

I was only joking.
It's still up but not really going anywhere right now. Hopefully I will have my new computer by this week, so I'll get it going then.
How does Traore progress? I've big hopes for him.
