Tommy \'the red\' Howard Posted March 27, 2008 Author Share Posted March 27, 2008 What is your best signing on fm. Ideally I would like to hear from people who have signed some very good players from LLM clubs. Also I don't want to know if you signed a 42 year old riquelme for Newi Cefn Druids etc. The players have to be at a decent standard. No cheats please. My personal best is Rufete and Brian Howard for Kettering after 3 seasons in League 2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

llama3 Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 biggest coup was on FM07, i signed Gianluigi Buffon from Juventus for Arsenal for a measly £8.75m - he was valued at £17.75m at the time and Juventus were in Serie A! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abs_UK Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Good players forum mate… as many people do not want to know about potential talents as they would like to find them on their own… Anyway to the topic, my best signing is a regain name is Alves, central midfielder, 17 years old, very good stats, current ability is 140 potential ability is at 188.. paid £3.5m from santos..

isuckatfm Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Not a massive name but Charlie Sheringham to Fisher in my first season in League 2. Blew my whole budget for 2 seasons spreading it over 24 months, but 63 goals in 82 appearances with back to back promotion to the Championship has made it a good bit of business .

Fridrihsbergs Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Was at Arsenal for a few seasons on FM08 and went on huge spending spree then left for Milan. Rijkaard became manager of Arsenal and transfer listed about 15 people, Hleb, Senderos, Wlacott, Eduardo standard players etc. So manged to get most of them for half price or less.

follow the blind Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 on my porto save in fm 07, season 07/08 i signed 5 youngsters from barcelona for a combined fee of 10 mil. Bojan krkic, thiago, guy assulin, enzo zidane and some regen cb with potential to be twice as good as juan. Not bad, though you gotta give props to good ol frank riijkard.

Ruttsie Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 On FM07 I signed the ex-leeds striker Richard Cresswell to Northern Irish Second Division side QUB. May not seem a big signing but at that level it was a heck of a coup. I think he averaged over a goal a game for 3 or 4 years before retiring, although he wasn't that old.

kevieyang Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I make most of my signings on free transfers. It's managed to give me a big squad with plenty of depth and healthy bank balance. Signed on a free that I can recall off my head. -Henri Saivet -Van der Vaart -Bojan -Sami Nasri and free signings also including a few regens that are better than van der vaart and nasri!

linnet_canary02 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 From FM06 I had a Norwich midfield of van der Vaart, Kaka, Pirlo and W. Sneider. Sneider cost me £8.5m and the other 3 signed on Bosmans over 3 seasons. Also on 06 best deals- Mirko Vucinic, £9.5m, 10 years at City and over 300 goals. And for 06 profit- Tomas Sivok, paid Rangers a £1.5m buy out clause and sold him to Chelsea for £50m 2 years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chilliconcarnie Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 on FM07: Miroslav Klose on a free after either the first or second season (cant remember now - whenever his contract expired). He was with the club right till I stopped playing the game when FM08 came out at 33 and I just could not drop him! I had brought in a tasty looking young striker who I really thought deserved his chance in the first team. But with Rooney and Klose just banging them in for fun, I could nto play him!

Nomis07 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I have had some brilliant ones so far and have sold £174m worth of players in 6 seasons, only spending £65m. I won't name names but here's a list; Israeli RW - bought for £250k - sold for £4.2m Belarussian CB - bought £100k - sold £10m Romanian CM - bought £250k - sold £4.5m Romanian RW - bought £150k - sold £4m Romanian FW - bought £100k - sold £7m Swiss FW - bought £100k - sold £3.6m Argentine LW - bought £150k - sold £11.6m Greek RW - bought £3.2- sold £15m Italian RB - bought £3.6 - sold £15m French AML - Free - sold £20m German FW - Free - sold £7.2m Ukranian GK - £50k - £2.7m French GK - £30k - £2.4m German DM - £1m - £5.2m I've also had a few mishaps with one promising young German forward coming in from our nearest rivals at £9.3 and he didn't score in 3 seasons before leaving for Liverpool on loan with a view to a permanent transfer.

robmontie1965 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 My best signing for Coventry was Walter Centeno 32 AMC who is available free, also Jody Morris AMC free, the other is Mohamed Kallon was free on patch 8.01 AMRCFC, all these are outstanding value, so much so W Centeno could actually be sold for 1.5 soon after getting him on a free.

arcturus15 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Probably my best signing is Soren Larsen from Schalke for £6 million for my Arsenal team. Like FM07, he proved a wonder in the champions league for me, finishing top scorer in the tournament with 12 goals. Didn't exactly score too many in the league, but got 10 in his first season and around 20 in his second. Currently in my SWFC game, I'd say Steve Marlet is possibly a good signing. Used as right midfield and he's getting a good amount of goals, including a 50 yard free kick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schotsmannetje Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 In FM07 I was managing Arsenal and just before the transfer deadline Glichy got injured for 6 months and I wanted a new LB but I had about 2m budget left. I bought Paulo Maldini for 1m and he became my highest rated players for 2 seasons straight. Good investment if you ask me. I was in tears when he decided to retire.

KK2003 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Joaquin to Newcastle for £13m. Sold a year later for £37.5m. Probably by biggest coup on FM08.

Mikele Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 An 18 year old DC named Hugo Ortiz to AC Milan for £1.7m. He's a regen from Santos with a PA of 190. Use him as backup seeing Nesta will be retiring at the end of the season and in games against small teams I know I can beat and he does well. Also, Lorenzo De Silvestri (D/WB R) from Lazio for £16.5m. Already playing for Italy's first team at the age of 21 and a regular. He is definitely my best signing.

nogravy Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 With Braintree in League 2, I was offered 10k + Jonny Howson for Callum Burgess.

I guess he didn't like League 2 so much, he's been huge in getting the team up to championship level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wardog Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Caio from a Brazilian side to my Maderia side on a free. I had been playing below average that season after splitting my strike force of Jo a Iian in the summer and wasnt scoring as many as i had in previous years. Caio came in and i started winning games again in normal time, although ive got 3 young 18-21 year old strikes who where signed cheap and look like making me a very tastey profit.

prakimus88 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 by biggest "coup" was massive player trading at first season with fiorentina with 100% success rate. in pounds: Mutu was sold to liverpool for 27mil Gobbi and Liverani to italian clubs for bout 3mil each. purchased were van der vaart (12mil), matias fernandez (8mil), palombo (7.5mil), barazagli (12mil), maxi rodriguez (16mil), cassani (2.5mil), edison cavani (10mil) and balotelli (10mil). Van der vaart had a superb season with 15 goals, Fernandez won Serie A player of the year, Palombo was Italian of the year, Barazagli was Defender of the Year, Rodriguez was superb on the right (10 goals, 28 assists), and both Balotelli and Cavani had 20 goal seasons. Even after the sale of Mutu, Pazzini stepped up to the plate and scored 39 goals for the season! He still did not win any goalscorer awards though as Ibrahimovic netted 48! In the end we won the treble, winning Serie A with 93 points (amazingly, just one point ahead of AC Milan). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
