It's uncharted territory for me, never managed there.

I've only managed Barcelona. I feel like the Premier League is the best league to manage though.

I remember that save, Rodri

I don't know, I know nothing of Spain.

I would like a top half team which isn't challenging for top 4, that would be nice.

I've never managed in the EPL, seeing Chamakh score hattricks every game ruins FM for me.

What team did you manage? I am managing Ajax but cannot seem to pass the group stage in the CL, rather annoying.

AGOVV Apeldoorn, got them promoted from the Jupiler League, finished 13th and only spent 1 season in the Eredivisie so can't really talk about CL football :/

Manage Valencia or Levante, good sides.

Shit... Real Madrid are offering me £45M for Nemanja Vidic. I'm tempted...

Take it

I think so keed.

Strong legend and finishing/heading

Double win.

Not cool that the board sold Freeman though.

Willmer wrote:Take it

I did, £45M for a 31 year old? Hell yes.

My remaining centrebacks:

Rio Ferdinand (going to be phased out I think)
Chris Smalling (main man)
Johnny Evans (seocndary)
Phil Jones (O'Shea type of player)
Kurt Zouma (Going to introduce him next season)
Giuseppe Prestia (Going to send him on loan next season)

You should get Chris Samba, once got 12 goals in a season for me at Chelsea

Or Thiago Silva

Samba isn't good enough and Thiago Silva would cost me too much. Smalling and Jones are doing a fine job to be fair, not as good as Vidic on corners, obviously, but a fine job indeed.

Phil Jones becomes amazing..

I know ^_^

The worst part is that Giuseppe Prestia and Kurt Zouma become even better, at least from personal experience. With Roma I played Prestia alone at the back, with Carnevali and Creszcenci on the sides, because he was such a beast he handled every attack confidently all on his own

Ajax

You have Gylfi! Lucky bastard.

I hate how I get bored after 2 seasons. I'm already looking for a new save. I think I will go back to La Liga, but with a different club than Barca. Maybe Athletic Bilbao. Do they have Basque only transfers?

Do Ajax

But yes Bilbao have Basque only

Sticking to Basque players must be quite hard when being Bilboa.

Okay, I'm doing Bilbao. The limit on transfers should be interesting.

Goalkeeper and defenders are the real problem. In midfield you have a bunch of great players, and in attack you have the ever reliable Llorente and the future star Muniain.

Can't score goals.

Started a save with Genk, De Bruyne has to be injured though At least I have Vossen. I have 5M to spend, any ideas on who to buy?

What do you need? Norwegian midfielder Ruben Yttergård Jensen is actually a very good playmaker and he should be about £2-3M

I got a bid accepted for him but he wasn't interested in entering contract discussions. I'm looking for a good CM as Toszer is leaving to Genoa.

Dean Hammond.

Well from Norway I can recomend Jonas Svensson (highly underated though) as well as Jensen (the best), Eikrem (decent) and Markus Henriksen (the highest PA), oh and also Thomas Drage who is a very good AMC who becomes almost as good as Jensen.

Each of them should cost you less than 3M really.

Oh and in Italy there's this kid called Cigarini which is quite good.

Don't be too jelly.

I'll have a look when I next go on FM, thanks buddy.

Bitch Nani is demanding a new contract like 5 months after signing a new one. I told him no, and now he wants to leave. Well guess what he didn't expect, me letting him

Yeah i hate Nani on FM, he always ends up leaving because of greedyness.
