Not trying to out-do you, but I've been doing this for a while, from EHM to FM, to make in-game job decisions.

But you're right. If one gets to the point of researching the cities before accepting their offer... he's definitely into the game a bit too much. icon_wink.gif

Though, in our defence, it really adds to the fun and immersion! icon14.gif

I have a habit of choosing places Ive gone on holiday too and liked, anywhere by the sea does me really.

In recent years Ive moved from clubs that are or I turned into European giants to take over at Mallorca, Lanzarote, and Bognor Regis.

Bognor was the best one as in my 15 odd years there I ended up with a new 60k stadium that was expanded to 80k and named after me and pretty much made them the dominant force in European if not World football.

Won Serie A and Italian Cup in 1st season, but Arsenal put me out in the CL quarters.

With budget adjustment I ended up with 95 million pounds to spend in the summer of 2008/09, I also sold underperforming Ibrahimovic for 40 million.

An underperforming Ibrahimovic? I was going to say I thoguht he might be too good on the game. He won the Golden Boot at the Euros, top scorer in Serie A with 28 in 34 games, won Italian player of the year and headed up the assists rankings with 16. Then again, I'd sell the stroppy git for £40 million!

Hmm, my stadium link worked when I posted it icon_confused.gif San Siro if anyone hadn't figured it out yet.

As for Zlatan, I just had a look and he scored 17 in 36 games with an average of 7.03, which I suppose isn't that bad, but 40 million is well worth getting shot of him, he was ubhappy all season long, I think because I dropped him for a spell.

Diego is the Brazilian from Werder, think he cost 30 million. I lost Figo to retirement and Jimenez from a loan deal so needed another AMC, so why not Diego I though icon_wink.gif

Poor Riquelme though, cost me nothing(Jan. pre-contract), but I wasn't expecting to get the kind of funds that I did to buy Diego, Martinez, Aguero etc etc. Good chance he will be moved on in Jan. 2009 if I can find a buyer.

So,staying on the subject of Diego, I'm in a online clan as Spurs. Its Jan. 2010 and I just sold Lennon for 30 million, with budget adjustment I have 38 million to spend. I already have Farfan who can step into Lennon's boots, so should I spend 35 million on Diego? Is he that good? or should I look elsewhere for a cheaper alternative?(I know this technically belows in Good Players forum, but isn't really worthy of its own thread).

you know you love this game too much for 2 reasons

1) you need to start doing c.w and finish it ready for deadline which is the next day, and you decide to finish a season, make summer signings, and start a season instead

2) when your addictiveness rating is "you are now a football manager expert" after 11 days, 13 hours and 50 minutes
