Marquinhos from Vitoria! potential to be as good as Drogba! he is 18 and i paid £12mil for him!!

both Danny Welbeck and Nathan Delfouneso are young English strikers who could be leading premier league stars!!

or go for Balotelli as usual.... or Jozy Altidore....

Name: Ronaldo (fat, better one :D)

Age: 31

Club: none

Value: free

Sale Value: free

if you're a premiership team needing someone to fill in for a few games for a season or 2 he could be a good buy

Name: Michael Owen

Age: 28

Club: Newcastle

Value: Around 5 Million

Sale Value: should be able to get him for around 9 million

Work permit needed/not needed: Not needed

He's suffered a bit on the new game, but can still get 30 goals a season consistently, always has for me at least

and even though his stats have gone down a bit, he's got 10 in 5 for my tottenham team :D

correct me on any of those stats if i got them wrong btw, like age

i'm not at home so can't look but i think i'm right

Age:22

Club:Sheff Utd

Value:850k

Work permit needed/not needed :not needed

in FM08 he scored 40 goals in 38 matches so i`ll buy him again in 09 and test him

Hey guys for 6 months on the demo --

Julio Cruz & Martin Palermo (tearing up the French League at the moment)

Yeah both over 30 --

But knowing that they only have to do the job for 6 months --

It was a treat to see the league stats with these 2 guys number 1&2 as top scorers

Cheers Gents

Name: Artem Milevskyi

Age: 23

Club: Dinamo Kiev

Value: about £4m

Sale Value: £10-12m

Work permit: Most likely granted as he is an international for Ukraine...

The stats have been upped for FM09, he was excellent on FM08 as well, but I'd go as far as to say that he is one of the best strikers in FM09 (or at least one of the best target-men!):D

Scored 5 goals in 5 matches for my Lyon side, and my tactics barely gets any goals at all normally...

I don't know why but some people think that certain strikers are amazing because they can score a few in the French league. :rolleyes:

and i dont know why but some people think they can join the forums , make useless comments adding nothing to the thread and last here as a member :rolleyes:

he's clearly a top striker in this game.... glad his finishing has been upped..... should be a star in this game imo

Name: Bafétimbi Gomis.

Age: 23.

Club: St-Étienne.

Value: £6-8Million.

Sale Value: £8-13Million.

Work permit: Not needed.

After having an excellent season last year with St-Étienne (In real life), Bafétimbi Gomis is much improved on FM09 can play as a lone man/target man or in a pair upfront. Scores but also creates goals too.

He gets caught offside to much on football manager because of " tries to beat offside trap" if he didnt have that he would be a class act.

Cardozo is quality.....if he were a bit quicker and two footed he'd be unplayable!

And Rossi isnt obvious?

John Fleck

Age 16

Club: Rangers

Value 1.5 Million

Sale Value 2-3 Million

WP No

Fantastic AMLC FC

Had to bring him in early due to injury and he became a Wonderkid.

Looking very good so far scoring a goal every 2 games, and is accomplished on the wing or as a loan striker.

Óscar Cardozo cost me £6.25 for my Newcastle side and he's by far and away the best striker I had so far. He's scored 14 in 11 so far and has forged a perfect partnership with Oba Martins. He's good in the air and scores more than a fair share of headers (useful if you play with wingers), he's a beast from set-pieces and seems to score from free-kicks more often than not but he also scores wonderful goals from distance.

Rossi was a mistake on the demo, no longer costs that much. Here's a few

Name: Alberto Paloschi

Club: Parma/Milan

Age: 18

Sale Price: 3.6m

Notes: He has exactly what an 18 year old needs, great mental stats. Poor decisions, but great composure, determination, off the ball, and work rate. He also has great physical stats, just needs a few years for his technical stats and he'll be class.

Name: Hulk

Club: Porto

Age: 22

Sale Price: 5m

Notes: Great physical stats. Could be one of the best young target men. Such a great nickname too.

Name: Yannick Djalo

Club: Sporting CP

Age: 22

Sale Price: 4m

Notes: Good all around forward with plenty of potential.

Name: Alexis Sanchez

Age: 19

Club: Udinese

Value: 3mil

Sale:7.7 mil

work permit: needed

this is a copy cat to walcott amazing on 09

I am Manchester United and I bought him for $6 million. He is amazing. Play him as winger and he gets you lot of assists. Just like Ronaldo he beats defenders left and right. Ronaldo and Sanchez on either flanks are unstoppable.

Has anyone had dealings with Pogrebnyak from Zenit?

I saw him mentioned earlier, but was curious to know if he has performed in anyone's team/s. Reckon he would play the lone striker role at Milan well?

He could do a job for you at Milan, it depends really how you play. You can get him on loan in the first season and see if you don't wish to risk spending money on him.

Name: Fabio Quagiarella

Club: Udinese

Age: 25

Value: £5.75m

Sale Value: Don't know managing him at Udinese

Notes: Seems to pounce on anything loose in front of the net. Has 20 long shots and 17 technique, so he scores some impressive goals. 8 in 9 so far for me with 2 assists. Plays really well with a complete forward to grab any rebounds in space that may come his way.

I got Pogrebnyak for 5.75 million, not a big gamble for my newcastle team, he has 16 goals in 20 games which is excellent, he can take the ball to feet and he's a real powerhouse in the air, will get alot of joy for corners and crosses, a good signing particularly for a little man alongside him.
