Purefun Posted May 5, 2008 Author Share Posted May 5, 2008 Originally posted by liam_everton89:purefun I've never played my -18's so much either, thought it might make progress better, and some of the results they got I think they might have, yeah I wont be needing anyplayers for a while now, was going to get Lloris but he went to Villareal so I'll just leave it with Coupet for now until Costil is good enough to replece. Yeah it will make them progress faster but don't play them too much than they overplay themselves. I hope that makes sence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
liam_everton89 Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Yeah I know what you mean, so that they don't peak too soon, all the ones that are old enough have been loaned out this season aswell, nobody wants Sakho on loan though, well not playing him 1st team, although I'm getting bids of around £4m for him lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

glory utd Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Well after a long period away from FM08, and not a single game lasting more than one season, I've decided to come back to the game. I was playing a bit of FM07 in my period away from 08 of course. So my obvious choice was Lyon as my favourite team to play with. Lets see how far I go this time eh? I haven't had a proper go since 8.0.2 came out so will need a little help from Purefun and co. Mainly I would like to know some coaches, scouts etc to sign as a starting point.

real_betis Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 What the hell!? He was transfer listed by requested when he was 100% owned by Roma, I bid £12.5m for him and it was accepted, but he chose Milan's co-ownership (£7.25m) over me. He moved to them, I looked at his Transfer Status and he was still listed by request with his value set at 0! So I jumped at the chance and bid, I presumed it was just a mistake and it wouldn't be accepted or whatever but it was. Potential bug? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

real_betis Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 End of Transfer Window Update Transfers Some good transfers imo, particularly Aquilani, not entirely sure what happened there to be honest. European Super Cup Asked for a new feeder in June and got Zulte Waregem. So my feeders are pretty lame (Messina, Belenenses, Zulte). Really wanted a merchandising feeder.

Mainly I would like to know some coaches, scouts etc to sign as a starting point. Obvious choice offcourse. As for coaches and scouts : Desailly as ass. manager is a must but that could wait for another year if you want (i did). I hired some regens and really unknown coaches, i just filtered with the attributes and signed only the best ones. Pretty easy way to get seven star training.

liam_everton89 Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 purefun I hope he does, goalkeepers is the one are that I'm lacking enough talent really. Coupet is fine but getting on, Vercoute(sp?) I'm not so keen on being a first choice for a long time, Costil - well I'll see how he turns out, Thats why I wanted Lloris but he chose Villareal. It's my fault too though as I don't like spending much money but they all cost a fiar amount!! Ben oster is out of contract thoug so I'll try unsettling and prasing him, atm he's rejecting mine and Man Utd's contracts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott08 Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Liam, you'll notice Lloris will now have a low release clause at Villareal. It happened in one of my previous saves too.
