im trying to comprehend how you can completely mangle a team so completely in a single transfer window.

Samuel is good and all but you're trading down by getting rid of Toure for him.

Rosicky is one of the best A/MC's in the game, it's not 2002 and Kewell isnt playing for Leed's. In fact, Kewell is barely playing for anyone, he's past his used by date in real life and in it's reflected by his average stats in game.

You've overpaid for Marcelo, Palacio is pretty good but extraneous seeing as you already have three top line forwards Poulsen is ok but there are much better and younger DM's around to replace GIlberto with.

dont even start me on the transfer fee's you've received. criminal!

I hate the board.

So far they have forced me to sell Diaby, Clichy and Fabregas.

I did make a killing them though icon_wink.gif

Diaby 10m to Newcastle in the first season

Clichy 20m to Chelsea end of the first season

Fabregas 37m to Inter Milan end of August of first season

Their replacements on the other hand have been rocking.

Sold 70m worth

Bought 77m worth

I'm looking for an LB to buy in July. He sholdn't be over 23 years old, but he must be quite good to be a backup for Marcelo.

Don't you think you've over spent? You have spent over 5 times as much in one season as i did in 5 seasons of FM07 (I haven't got 08 yet)

If you were going to spend that much you may as well have been Chelsea, Arsenal aren't about spending 150m a season, you already had a fantastic young side was there any need to overspend that drastically? icon_confused.gif

That has got to be the single worst transfer activity I've ever seen. Kolo for 5M? Denilson 1M?? Rosicky 9M? Even Gilberto could have gone for more! Unless you've put in ridiculous clauses like 50M over 24months or 30M after 10 games or something none of those transfers make the least bit of sense mate! Thats more atrocious than Henry going for 16M!!!

And Palacio can be bought EASILY for under 9M. You dont even have to try too hard for that. Samuel for 13M and you sell Kolo for 5? Kewell is ok backup I suppose. Poulsen is decent but there Gilberto is 10 times the player he is and also, you can do better than Poulsen!!

Wow!! icon_eek.gif

Dont sack Rice. He's decent enough. Dont renew his contract if you wish but dont sack him. Let him see it out. Then when its approaching the end, make the decision if you want to improve or not. Rice is a favourite with a few of the young players and sacking him might not go down too well with them. Also, he is TERRIFIC at handing the younger ones.

Dont listen to him when purchasing players though. His "judging player potential" and "judging player ability" is pretty poor. For that, listen to your scouts.

guys.. most of the time when teams enquire the price of my players, i will state their market price. Every time they think its too expensive and dropped the interest. I have no wish to sell the players below their value price either.

Any suggestions?

How do you know their market price?? You can only see what they're valued at but not how much they'd sell for (or am I missing something?).

Alrite everyone!

Im new to football manager (havent played since 2005 edition). Its my 1st season with arsenal and im in december. Im presently in forth place with 3 games in hand, which is alrite. But my team doesnt seam to be perfoming well. I play a 4-5-1 formation as i ahave alot of quality attacking players. I also loaned out a number of younger squad players to gain experience. If anyone has any advice to help my team perform better it will be apreciated!

Heres my squad by the way (hopefully the screne shot has come up)

hit the post twice, missed the open goal off the rebound twice, let in a pretty soft free kick, dominated possession but didn't really have too much of a cutting edge up forward.

arsenal circa 2006.

guess we shouldnt really complain about a 1-all at Anfield because it is a good result but i do see it as two points dropped. liverpool were always going to come out and play hard after midweek.

Eboues and Carraghers dirtyness stats should be upped to 20.

Haha, same here. I've been trying to get ronaldo for so long. I don't even need him. I have silva, saviet, guadardo, etc.

lead the premiership scoring in my first two seasons, playing for Reading. 30+ goals a season if i can recall correctly. i'd have had higher scorers but i had a pretty serious rotation going on.

First season, came 2nd by a point icon_frown.gif (if I only got a goal in the wigan game I dominated in, would have won), in FA cup final and CL final....Real Madrid made a bid of 15 up front and 18m over 24 months for rosicky, should I sell him? He had an average year.

Sorry to be so blunt just want some thoughts quickly icon_smile.gif Thanks.

Sell Rosicky if he had an average season. Although he's been terrific for me. You might not be playing him right? I dont know. But thats decent enough money for him. Try to get Madrid to cough up the 18M over 12 months.

Guardado wouldnt cost anything less than 20M btw. In my game, he's going for 30 odd!!! But very good player he is.
