weeeman27bob Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Club - Liverpool Patch - 8.0.2 Season - Start of 3rd Transfer Budget - £45 million Wage Budget - £1.8M p/w Wage Budget Remaining - £432k p/w Untouchables: Gerrard, Agureo, Torres, Rafinha I've decided to change tactics to 4-4-2, well at least I'd like to. My plan was to buy Silva, but Valencia wanted me to pay stupid amounts of money. So that leaves me with a problem. Who to buy? Elano came to mind as he could play in the positions Silva could, but apart from that I have no ideas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arsenal_2111 Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Good team. There's a few positions that IMO you need to improve. Bear in mind, I'm being picky. GK: Reina is good, but there are better players than him. Ochoa, Lloris, Akinfeev and Neuer would be best. DR: Rafinha is awful at defending, get someone like Richards instead of him ML: Babel is good, he isn't excellent but he is good. If you really want to, get Guardado instead of him. Perhaps use Fernandez there. MR: If you use Fernandez at ML, buy Menez or Ben Arfa for here MC: No use having Alonso go to AMC. He's much beter at defending, so use him at DMC or have a barrow for him. Or just use Masch, who IMO is better. Bodmer, too, is better. Apart from that, it's a good team. Like I said, I'm being picky. I would certainly look to improve DR and make the changes at MC, but apart from that I reckon you should do well.

weeeman27bob Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Bodmer does normally play at MC with Gerrard. He was just injured. I'll have a look at Richards you Rafinha hater Depending on how much I have left, I'm also going to have a look at the wide positions. I won't do anything though until tomorrow, incase i get ( better) more information ( just joking) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Got £17 million to spend now any advice? Looking at maybe Ilsinho for £10 million to cover RB and DM. No use getting Ilsinho if you want a defensive player as he is more of a winger imo. Look at Gonzalo Castro from Bayer Leverkusen instead. He is good, young, can defend and cover the 2 positions you want covered and should be less than 10m pounds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

soli Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 AcidBurn If you are just looking for cover at RB and DM why not buy Lassana Diarra. He is good at DM and okay at RB. And should be much cheaper than the 17m you have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcidBurn Posted October 24, 2008 Author Share Posted October 24, 2008 Club - Ajax Patch - 8.0.2 weegie update Season - 2nd Transfer Budget - £17.25 million (when Huntelaar plays again for Holland will get another £40 million) Wage Budget -700k Wage Budget Remaining - 500k Untouchables(people you wouldn't sell)- Rossi, Blanco, Fazio, Tales, Van Der Vaart, De Laak. Need to improve the squad to challenge for Europe as the team is not good enough for the champions league. Have had bids accepted for Bianchi and Cardozo I will be getting Cardozo to play as the lone striker and replace Huntelaar. Barnes is injured far too much for my liking so might need another RW to go with Blanco maybe a DM as I use Ilsinho all over the pitch. I will have £45 million to spend soon when Huntelaar is capped hopefully in the next Holland game in may. So who should I look to bring in ready for next season?

jams1234 Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 My squad is really getting too big. Here it is: Goalkeepers:Akinfeev, Shust Defenders:Vidal, Fazio, Chrygrynskyi, Chretien, , Nordtveit, Gai, , Marcelo Midfield:Veloso, Larsson, Bodmer, Tymoschuk, Sankhare, Juninho, Fernandez, , Pryyomov, Kalou, Del Piero, Giovinco, Anderson Strikers: Aquino, Rossi, , Glakyi and Shevchenko. That's a massive squad by itself, but I've also got these players out on loan: Olazabal, Rusol, Musacchio, Abenzoar, Braadfheid, Traore, Adrien, Jonsson, Kalouda, Lansbury, Saivet, Piatti, Douglas, Kroos, Tales, Walter and Cristaldo.And Stancu., Bale, Etock, Denilson, Obertan, Faraoni, Vela. I've got so much money to spend that I'm buying every possible player and not selling anyone. Any advice?I'm in 2010 btw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
theincrediblehulk Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 AcidBurn You dont need anybody for the right wing mate. Firstly, because even though Barnes might be getting injured often for you, just keep him as he becomes sheer quality. Amazing player he turns into. Also, you can easily play Ilsinho there if you want. He plays great on the wings. If you want a good DM and want Dutch, then De Jong is your best option I guess. But otherwise, there are so many quality DM's out there that you can get. Zapater, Makoun, Poulsen, L. Diarra, Flamini, A Diarra etc etc etc. So just bring one in as you see fit really. If you're looking for more Dutch players, then try to bring in the likes of Maduro, De Guzman, Kivuvu, Amrabat, Afellay, Drenthe, Boulahrouz etc. They'll all give you quality backup options I reckon. You dont need too any additions to your first team besides a new DM. You just need slightly better backup options. Especially in defence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebirds4life Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Jams Marcelo is rubbish at defending as many Brazilian full back got brought up by getting teached attack attack attack and making forward run and overlapping all the time, I don't think you want that so either sell him or move him up to the midfield which is better you have a large squad yeh. Del Piero's getting old isn't he. Kalouda maybe not that good but in other words sell every one who dosen't appear, a realistic squad would be 20-25 players and not really more and you have 47. Kalou(Bonaventre) I don't think he's up to much. and sell anyone 32 or over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jams1234 Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 BTW the Kalou is the Chelsea one. Most of the old players are there for tutoring, and I loaned out the players like Bale, Rusol and Denilson because I can do fine without them and it's better for them to get games. All the money's getting to me, I just signed Lloris from Tottenham for 5m. Really it was 10m but that was a fixed price and I had 50% sell on. I never thought I'd be asking this question, but who should I loan out, Lloris or Akinfeev? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
