Wellington Nem has a £3.5m release clause and Adryan's is under £1m.

Not for me

Also, without this kid I'd be struggling really bad I think, my defence is rubbish

Both have release clauses at the start of the game

Wellington Nem is £3.5m - but I had to offer him £32k a week to tempt him from joining PSG instead

Adryan joins easily. His release clause is just £875k!! But again I had to offer him £11k a week which is ridiculous for a 17 year old. He comes in January so he'll be 18 by then and I wont feel so bad. Anyway I'd rather have these players than guys like McCourt, Brown, Samaras, Stokes etc who were on ridiculous wages as well.

Drenthe, Wellington Nem, Forrest, and Hooper are linking up well.

I just need a CB or a defender just to strengthen up, any recommendations?

Caulker? He's pretty awesome for his CA. Marek Suchy is another, Marco Capuano becomes quite good, Alex Pearce, Emilio MacEachen, Scott Wooton isn't half bad and Slobadan Rajkovic is very good.

Jos Hooiveld.

In all seriousness, look at Jores Okore and be really original.

Isn't Okore like.. really expensive?

£1.3m release clause.

I wish I knew about all these clauses earlier, my scouts never tell me these sort of things

Being original isn't my thing. Can't you see I've already signed wellginton nem and adryan?

get Jonas Ivens

170k release clause

I've come to realize I'm an impatient manager in this new version of FM. I've been in 5 different clubs in 5 years (Never sacked btw)

Hoilett out for 2/3 months with a torn hamstring

Few deals on the go to sort out my defensive dilema

Raul Albiol - Real Madrid have accepted an offer to take him on loan for a season ... 100k fee and paying 50% wages

Ryan Donk - currently enquiring about him

thomas Hubschman - 3.5m bid accepted, contract offer sent



Not sure which I'll end up doing

get Jonas Ivens

170k buy out!

He's 2 star current ability you crazy man.

Oskar Hiljemark just scored 2 from midfield on his debut

your scouts are shit

look at his attributes

he is like 15 in all key areas

That is a screenshot of him in 2014, look at him. He looks outstanding

Took PSV to the 2nd knockout in the Europa. Napoli wiped us out though, just couldn't stop them. I have basically no defensive midfielders.

Okore isn't original at all, that was the joke.

What a fucking brilliant win after an awful performance. Hernandez played 15 minutes.

I've had a horrible start to this season. I finished 3rd last season and 7 games into the new one I'm 17th on 7 points.

I know, I got the sarcasm.

I was meaning to be joke back but reading it this morning I think it sounds as if I'm being rude to you.

I got both cases of sarcasm

The Match Engine is just pathetic in this game. There is no consistency whatsoever.

I know! How can you build a solid squad when it decides to radically change?!

How can I finish 3rd one season, then play the same system, and be 18th?

Do all of you have 3D on? I can't be bothered with it slowing everything down so I just revert back to the classic pitch view.


Still in need of strengthening my defence.

Raul Albiol chose to join Juventus permanently instead of coming on loan.

Okore isn't interested at all.

I offered £3.5m for Hubschman but upon realising he's 30 I might cancel it at the last minute.



I've been recommended Strandberg but he isn't in my game

I find 3D looks ridiculous so I always turn on 2D

Try Jan Kirchhoff.

Do FM12 tactics work on this version? I managed to create some pretty killer tactics with Juve which would probably help me out A LOT.

Yeah, I had to use the Germany tactic whilst the ME was almost unplayable.
