Rivaldo

Its the end of 2013 and i am signing Rivaldo (41 years old) on free

Check this out!

£77, 000 a week?!

I dont know how you can stand to look at those bars either. They give me an instant migraine.

wow, his physical stats are apaulling. No point in still being great technically if he can't move. Hope you're not the team paying him 77K:eek:

He's still netting every other game tho ..

And I dunno if you noticed, or if its just me, but physical stats such as pace dont seem to mean anything in Fm 09 presently. I have players with pace 5 running past full backs every single game.

You're signing him for which club?

I too have seen him on the game,but won't his wages be high

It says Notts Forest top left where he's rubbed out his player name.

I'm thinking of signing Rivaldo, but its 2008

Nottm Forest (in the Championship) for 10K wages

Why does it say 77K?

You must be the only person I've ever come across that uses those bars!

I think so,thats what he's earning at Bunyodkor

hahaha yeh i cnt stand those bars either but congrats to u if u cn understand them well!

I signed Zlatko Yankov, Bulgarian International with 74 caps at 42 years old, for my BSS conference team at the start of the game.

He was on free, and a rock in my defence

He was even called up as a replacement for bulgaria.

He's still netting every other game tho ..

Too bad that sometimes those "fake matches" mean nothing

He's my assistant manager at celtic in my 5th season

I've always been a fan of Rivaldo and would love to have him on my team but he just won't sign. Not to mention I can't even offer him more than 2K per week salary.

What I do love from that screenshot though is that his technical and mental stats are still top notch at that age, even if his physical stats are extremely low. That's a good sign that older players can last longer.

You could always use him to teach up-and-coming youngsters some of his moves.

Actually physical stats do matter, my unpacey strikers wont score anything other than headers or sitters, while my unpacey defenders will continuesly find themselves being beaten to long balls by strikers.

If you're at like 3rd league, Rivaldo will be a gem. Especialy if you have a clinical striker for him to feed with balls.

..............;);)

good job. Technically still brilliant - Let us know how he plays for you.

Rivaldo scored on his debut for my Newcastle team. First match of the season, at home, we beat Liverpool 4-2

He's a paraplegic. What's his pace 1?

God those bars are ugly i love him as a player tho especially when he took that dive at the world cup holding his face..hillarious

He's netting goals, but I think I'd be able to do that in Uzbekistan!

Seriously, though. It would be cool if the move worked out for you. I hope the fact he can't move doesn't hinder him too much!

He would be good if the ball is brought to him as I feel this match engine understands that pace isn't everything unlike in past versions where in even poor players with pace outperformed better players

Nice

I use those bars too, I think putting an exact number on the stats is bit stupid. This way I dont know exactly what the number is.
