[FM 2012] Ahlycotc's Save (FC Barcelona)

Ronaldo puts in the goal that gifts Real Madrid the La Liga title...

CL final: Arsenal v Chelsea

So either club will win their first CL title.

A hattrick and an assist. Maybe I should have played him more often.

so you only won the club world thing?

I won the...

UEFA Super Cup
FIFA Club World Cup
Copa del Rey

So all the blade trophies.

My second string team is doing better.

You should leave Barca and manage a lower team, it would make for a more interesting thread

Ahly, how can you fucking fail with Barcelona?

A string of losses ruined my title chances. And I just fucked up in the first leg against ManCity in the CL. I was forced to spend my allotted transfer money on one 17 year old because Real Madrid were going to snatch him up if I didn't do anything.

Speaking of transfers, I need some help. I'm looking for the following positions...

GK:
I'm letting Pinto's contract expire, so I will have Valdes and Mino. I'm not content with Mino as a backup or future Valdes. I want a keeper who is young, somewhat reliable, and has the potential of at least Valdes (3.5 stars).

CB:
All I have to replace Pique and Puyol are very young CBs. They aren't bad, but I would like a better backup. One that can eventually replace Puyol. The CB doesn't have to be young. I'm more worried about quality at the moment.

LB:
An eventual replacement for Abidal. So I'm looking for a young player that has good potential of at least Abidal (2.5 stars).

ST/AM:
Rodri was a surprise this season, but I want someone who is more reliable in front of goal. I'm looking for a good goalscorer and is adaptable to play on the wings when needed. I was initially thinking of bringing in Neymar.

How much do you have to spend on those positions?

After spending all £10M in the pre-season, I was given an extra £30M in January, but didn't use it. I'm not sure what the transfer allocation will be for next season.

Last match of the season...

Gervinho with a screamer to gift Arsenal their first CL title...

Final Standings...



La Liga Top Goalscorer: Messi (34 goals)
La Liga Player of the Year: C. Ronaldo
La Liga Goalkeeper of the Year: Casillas
La Liga Manager of the Year: Ahmed Ahmed (that's me)
La Liga Most Improved Team: Grenada

Team of the season...

Buy Thiago Silva. He's only £40m.

Bro in scout reports on people not at club (unless they have changed it from fm 11 to fm 12) 3 stars means they will be at the same level. 3.5 will be slightly better and 4 will be alot better than the current best player.

That is why it is rare you find a 5 star player at top teams.

I was given a 4 year contract extension, but I accepted a 1 year extension. My contract ends after 2 seasons now.

France beat Spain 2-1 in the EURO final. Sissoko scored the winning goal in the 91st minute.

I signed Sergio Aguero for £39M (that was his release clause). His salary is £8.25M/year (which is £2M more than Villa).

Aguero looking like another Messi out there...

Who was this 17 year old you bought?

Cam wrote:Who was this 17 year old you bought?

Paco Alcacer

Several missed chances from Aguero...

I have signed 18 year old, Jack Robinson, from Liverpool for £11M.

Revenge...

Puyol announces his retirement from international football.

Asian Tour Pre-Season Tournament...

Armando comes complaining to me about being stripped of his captaincy at Barca B. I didn't even make the decision.

In other news, fucking Real Madrid made a £41M bid for Neymar. I was forced to enter a transfer war against with Real over a hot prospect. However, I made a bid of £35M. Santos accepted both our offers. Neymar decided to accept my offer (£4.5M/year salary). However, I don't want him on the team this season. So I requested to Santos that the deal go through at the end of the season.

First leg of the Spanish Super Cup. I think I finally improved my tactics and this is the Barca we know and love. Let's see how they do in the second leg away and for the rest of the season...
