idol1 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Stumbled across this lad on a long term save with my beloved Birmingham City Fc. I wanted to gut the team and bring in some young British players, as the base for my team getting promoted. Not thinking of him as a long term prospect, more as cover for the first team. i couldn't resist a punt as i found he was transfer listed at a bargain price of 325k! He managed to worm his way into my starting eleven due to injuries and such and has not moved since. The latest screenshot i was able to get was of him in Feb/2016 due to my save becoming corrupted. But after 4 VERY good seasons for me, captaining my side and becoming a solid England international, playing at central defence/Defensive mid of even in the center of the park as a Ball winning midfielder, he has become one of my favourite signings in theis years release. Give him a shot, you wont regret it Start of the game. 2016 History Player Information Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert the Spud Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Nice man. Very solid player. You got any tips on training him? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
idol1 Posted March 8, 2013 Author Share Posted March 8, 2013 Nice man. Very solid player. You got any tips on training him? From what i can remember, i had him tutored by Pablo Ibanez to get his determination up to 20. the rest was just a basic schedule and alot of game time. he was pretty much a first team starter from day one. apologies for the quality of the screens, i play on a 32" television as my main monitor. i can try to shrink them up if they're too hard to read.

lewis999 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Need more of these threads where a big team transfer lists a player that isn't needed and if a team gives them a chance they can become a very good premier league player. Love these types of players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

idol1 Posted March 9, 2013 Author Share Posted March 9, 2013 I went to start a new save last night, and noticed he's now moved out on loan. so i'm not sure if he can still be signed at such a low price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeesterCat Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I always am after this guy, but invariably in my saves Man Utd give him just enough game time to ensure he signs a new contract and doesn't want to leave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkey hanger Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 on my latest newcastle save he got released end of first season i got him on trail sed he was 2 n a half stars but wanted 30k a week Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
D0bi Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Signed him and Michael Keane (pre-patch, before they both went out on loan) for Ross County for around £400,000 combined. They were both absolute rocks for me for 3 years in the SPL before leaving to Burnley (who signed them both, within a week of each other incidentally) for a combined fee of £8m.

Cadijk van Kaarhandel Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Got my eye on this lad, end of Season 1 with Aberdeen. He’s coming out of contract with Man U and his demands are well in excess of what I can offer but I’m hoping for a 2nd July swoop if/when they release him.

lewis999 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Just managed to get him for my newly promoted Barnsley side for 250k before he got released and 11k. Hopefully he'll perform well enough against the big boys and become an international. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earnie is God! Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Yes, he's away on loan since the final patch was done but Man U always seem to release him once he returns to them at the end of the first season so you can pick him up for nothing. Not quite Premier League standard as his composure and decision making is a bit suspect. He's not the quickest either. Still, I signed him in all 3 of my Cardiff saves and is decent as backup in the top flight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was my main CB in a 3 at the back with Barnsley in my first season in the Premier League (second game season) and he average 7.4ish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pearcey_90 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Signed him on a free transfer for Peterborough after his loan expired. Feel a bit of a coup, sits in front of the back 3 and is solid as Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plainlayzee Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 His contract expires at the end of season 1 is that correct? If so, I'm getting in there tonight - time to start tapping this guy up for my Tranmere save. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
