Name: Bojan

Age: 16

Position: ST

Club: Barcelona

Nation: Spain

Value: Variable (cost me 5m)

Personal Comment: Plays in my U18's squad at Man U and is an absolute beast! Currently has 37 goals in 29 matches for the U18's.

is it possible to get bojan for 5m and also i doubt he would come and u18s squad should be a first team player even at 16 </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Well normally no but A.C. Milan unsettled him, he demanded a transfer, and i swooped under their noses icon_biggrin.gif

As for the U18's I think he deserves regular starts, but with a two-man strike-force that can consist of Ronney, Tevez, Pandev and Aguero at any one time it's hard to get him onto the bech, let alone start the game...

Don't worry, he'll be the next king of Manchester sonn enough icon14.gif </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Personal Comment: Do i really have to say anything? scored on his home debut against torino in a friendly, completely demolished Wolverhampton in my opening premier league match, scoring two and 1 assist, with a super curling shot. there just seems to be no one who can stop this guy from getting past you.

For future reference please give their club that they began with in the game (we all know Kaka plays for AC Milan but for lesser known players try to post their original club) </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

also how the hell did you sign kaka for spurs?

Personal Comment: This guy was awesome on loan at my Hyde United team in the BSN, when I managed to get Man Utd as my parent club. Scored an amazing 108 goals in all competitions. He has all the stats that count for a great pacey striker and is especially lethal in the lower leagues.

My submission of his goals tally is still top of the "records" thread. Fantastic considering the game was not edited or cheated in any way icon14.gif

Here's his stats for that season...

Frazier Campbell - End of season stats

The only thing i can say about that record is... Bloody hell

Personal Comment: Hs been doing well every season but have now appointed him captain and I think he's scored in almost every game he's played 30 goals in 28 games plus 18 assists by the end of Jan can't wait to see what he finishes on

I have had similar experience with Rooney. End of Jan he had racked up 37 goals in 31 games and 12 assists.

If he was equally as prolific IRL United would be sorted icon14.gif

How the feck did you get him for 11-13? They won't accept less than 18 mil for him on my game.

Personal Comment:

Wonderful, wonderful! Very good playmaker, signed him for my Madrid team, he is the staple of the team as the amc.

Set him to free role as well and he does wonders. He is going to be my replacement for Van Nistlerooy in a year or two, until Saivet can play good in that position, then he will go back to free role amc. (He is also tutoring Saivet, he has a lot of good moves)

Dunno. I bid 12.5m at the very start of the game and it got accepted. If you are a bit into the season his value is probably gone up, other than that I can't think of any reason why Lazio would demand so much.

Well to be honest it sounds like you have no shortage of quality up front icon14.gif

But for under 10m you can't go wrong with Stancu (unless his value has shot up, which it may have done, especially if he moved clubs...)

Thanks

The Republic of Macedonia (Macedonian: Република Македонија, Republika Makedonija [1]) listen (help·info), often referred to as Macedonia, is a landlocked country on the Balkan peninsula in southeastern Europe. It is bordered by Serbia to the north, Albania to the west, Greece to the south, and Bulgaria to the east. It was admitted to the United Nations in 1993 under the provisional reference of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM[2][3]

so until the UN decides that it should be the Republic of Macedonia or just Marcedonia it is perfectly fine to call it FYR Macedonia

Also in every UEFA and FIFA competition your country goes by FYR Macedonia, so either you live with it or widraw from every competition in FIFA or UEFA regi

If your a lower league club (I'm Worcester City) Donovan Simmonds is an awesome striker. Hes at Coventry who i got as my feeder club. I signed him on loan and he scored 33 goals in 36 league appearance in Blue Square North and got me promoted to Blue Square Premier. Loaned him again this season and so far has scored 17 goals in 20 games. It currently says in the coaches report "would be a decent signing for any premier divison side" Though i think that would be pushing it a bit.

Name: Amauri

Age: 27

Position: ST

Club: Palermo

Nation: Brazil (holds Italian passport)

Value: Starts around £7m I think

Personal Comment: Took over Palermo as a side project and gave him the captaincy after receiving an offer I couldn't refuse for Barzagli. As of March 10th 2008, he's scored 25 league goals in 25 games, 4 in 4 cup games and 10 in 7 starts and a sub appearance in Europe. That's 39 in 36 starts and 1 sub appearance! His value's rocketed since Christmas to £15m, but no way am I gonna sell! Was 2006/07 European Striker of the Year runner up.

Weird enough, Henry is making the headlines recently in my game. Rooney was god-like during my first year, but got injured long time in 2010.

I've been an LLM ever since starting FM08, so my nominee for best coca cola league 1 and 2 strikers would be Andy Bishop, who is in my team now, and Ben Burgress who I'm planning to buy after I sell about a dozen of my youth players. LOL.

Well for me he's alright but I find him more effective alongside a big target man like Huntelaar.

I'm adding my vote to the Aguero fan club.

With Arsenal I played him as the lone striker in a 4-4-1-1 formation, no individual orders, just team orders (which were very attacking, creative and short passing) and he banged in 45-55 goals for about 3 consecutive seasons.

As has been discussed in this thread already, he does have a downside - his price. I don't think you're likely to get him for anything below £25m due to his massive PA. If you have the money, however, he has to be considered for any team.

Outstanding.

I'm at September, 3rd season, and he's just scored his 102 goal in 99 games for Tottenham. Up top himself.

At this stage it is almost universally accepted that Aguero is one of, if not the best strikers in FM2008 icon_cool.gif
