Flamers Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 You know you have a good prospect when Real Madrid are coming offering you money... The Bastardo bid is now at £10.4m Negotiated it to over £20m. Rejected Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyShoreDave Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 woah thats sweet... most I got actually offered is 5 for one lol.... hope you can keep that kid at least until you can get max money Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flamers Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 Weirdly a £7.5m and a £2m offer were accepted for different players after! I think it's because Bastardo is a legend so it will take a lot to take him away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flamers Posted March 18, 2011 Author Share Posted March 18, 2011 Season 16 Review - Uravlsdeild: League Results | Icelandic Cup Deildabikar Results | Icelandic Cup VISA-Bikar Results | Icelandic Supercup Result | European Results | League Table Perfect season. We won everything we could have, only 3 draws all season. I didn't take a screenshot of the European groups or the odds but basically we are 200-1 and you can see the group in the fixtures. Our great result was against Real at there place, we had far fewer shots but just seemed to get the into the net. Close range shots and keeping possession seemed to work well. We had the league secure with 3 games left this season which was great, we had it with 4 games left due to a huge goal difference. To complete our rout of the league we got the 2 of the top 3 Golden Boots , the 2nd best player of the year the winner didn't deserve it IMHO, the 3 Young Playesr of the Year (the winner is the Boca striker who is now at Real Madrid), 7 players in Team of the Year!, the 2 best goals of the season and I won Manager of the Year! Finances | Transfers Now £30m in the bank again which is good for the club. Brought more and sold fewer however the £2.5m profit that was made on my Boca striker who had been here for 6 months helped. Key Players 1. Franklin Bastardo. He has never been upset, is currently a club legend and rightfully so. His value is also creeping up as well. 2. Blessing Salami. He is becoming better and better and is really starting to show his class. He presence at corners is also a great help. 3. Claudio Sanchez. A classy keeper, he's not the best but seems to get the job done so I'm happy with him. Youth Players 1. Johann Hallgrimmson. Another season, another switch, this time £10.5m to Lazio. 2. Garðar Sævarsson. HE still isn't good enough to break into the first team yet. A few more years of development should help him though, he is starting to show some promise. If you want any more screenshots then just ask me. Flamers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flamers Posted March 18, 2011 Author Share Posted March 18, 2011 Season 16 - International News: Ivory Coast Results | Africa Cup Of Nations Group | World Cup Qualifying Group Round 3 | Africa Cup Of Nations Qualifying Group I feel like I have hit a brick wall with Ivory Coast, I got as far as I could but South Africa seem to have become a massive force in African football. I starting look for a new nation in August and got several offers. Peru Job Offer | Uruguay Job Offer I applied for loads of jobs in early November and only Peru and Uruguay got back to me. Both of the squads were not great and I didn't think I could get much higher than they were. Croatian Job Offer | Croatian FA Expectations I have moved from the 53rd ranked team to a team 40 places above them, 13th! I doubt that I can keep them there but I can try!

Flamers Posted March 19, 2011 Author Share Posted March 19, 2011 Season 17 Prevue - Urvalsdeild: Results | Expectations | Media Expectations We did well this season and managed to qualify. It seems to be that if we can get a lead we win by miles, if we don't we lose. Expectations are normal. Finances | Transfers Shareholders took £8.25m this season, also Lillestrom cancelled the link so no more loans from there. Not many transfers. Squad Still looking good Key Signings 1. Thierry Diaby. Released from Real Madrid with nearly 50 youth caps. He will be part of my midfield rotation. Youth Spotlight None, carp again. If you want any more screenshots then just ask me.

We pushed Athletico Madrid, even going ahead at there place but it wasn't too be. We are still nice and well off though. Transfers | Squad Another big spend, £6m on a 20 yer old German keeper who looks that he could be very helpful. The squad is shrinking slightly which is good.
