8th is impressive.

Champions League push soon?

*Dockal, crump

Schneiderlin and Rodriguez grow brilliantly.

Oh and at the start of the second season look out for cheap Croatians as they join the EU, I got a few with 4/4.5* potential for at little at £500,000 compensation fee

DEAN SHIELDS IS OUT FOR 7 WEEKS

FUCKKKKKKKKK

Doubt it, need to wheel and deal players this season considering my core are old and dropping in value fast. Depends on how much the board gives me in wage budget though.

That's the one

All my bids got rejected, If I wanted to at least enter negotiations I'd need about £120m for everyone.

Wow, didn't even think about that shit, will keep my eyes very peeled

Couldn't find Dockal

You could get Europa on £5m.

I think CL would be good to aim for getting anything of £10m or more.

Rooney had an amazing start to the season but has dropped off in terms of scoring goals, he's still providing assists and playing well but he needs to score, though van Persie is back shortly.

Vidic is still my main man.

Only just scraped a 1-4 win against Berwick, I was shit as fuck.

Considering I have to sell Crouch because of his completely unjustified wages and find someone to replace him 5M is optimistic.

Edit:

Oh great. I'm going to lose Shotton and Whitehead on a free because their agents are being unreasonable. Fantastic.

Bought the game through Steam, went to play it now. This comes up.



Anyone had this before?

Try again Walcott, my Arsenal save got fucked cos of it.

First game vs Oxford lose 1-0.

Interesting.

Won the game for me.

I love it when I've got him centrally behind the striker. Always picks the ball in space, and doesn't give it away.

I'd say it would be interesting to see Rooney injured, but that'd be tempting fate.

I think this is a pretty good side, a few tweaks next season and it should be doing well:


Get a few loanees in to cover for defence, the wing and a loanee striker and I should be set to make a decent push here.

Why would I do that?

Can't believe I managed to get Hernandez for 4 million

Cheat

Whut?!

Great scenes in the Swiss Cup semi final. Beat some Challenge League team 4-0 and FC Thun beat Young Boys who I havent beaten this season.

Double is on the cards.

Dec 31 is my favorite day in FM

I feel like such a n00b when Laurencio and Schinx are in here.

Fucking hell it's tight around 4th place.

that's bc i only post here when i'm doing well . i lost 0-4 to Ipswich and 1-3 to Charlston at the beginning of the season

i was in the bottom quarter of the championship table for 3 months until i got some tips from neal_canuck on how to play Jordan Rhodes. i'm slowly recovering. i'm 3rd in the table now with 2 months to go til the end of the season

Wolves is 1st but i'm too far behind them on points. i probably can finish 2nd-5th. would suck if i got all these star Serie A players but i don't get promoted

How do you do your team talks?

I either say thinsg assertively, aggresively or let my ass man do it.

That's me done I think.

Had 10 million to spend, brought in Javier Hernandez and Jack Cork on permanent deals, renewed some contracts and got Fierro, Boyata and Marko Marin in on loans. Making my "best" team:


Bring on the season

If I'm doing well I let ass man do it but if I'm losing I let hell break loose or if I get an impressive victory I do it myself.

Got a 2-2 draw at the Etihad. Nani and Welbeck came off the bench and turned the game around.

Had the play the last 10 minutes with 10 men when Rafael went off injured, and Yaya Toure scored an equaliser in the 89th.

Just lot to Elgin 0-1 at home, I'm really struggling without Shields.
