First Season Over;

Craig Gordon and Ian Harte were named in the Team Of The Year.

Top Scorer was Kenwyne Jones with 19 goals.

Ian Harte got ten goals, nine were free-kicks icon_biggrin.gif

Kenwyne Jones had a 7.21 average rating, Craig Gordon second with 7.18.

I've got Thiago Motta coming on a free, Jermain Defoe for 4 mil because he was on the transfer list, Callum Proudlock on a free, . Bids in for Florent Sinama-Pongolle, Afonso Alves.

Gonna go for Gerard Pique, a central midfielder and another Cb. Any suggestions??

Also who should I sign, Afonso Alves or Sinama-Pongolle?

Oh yeah, I got 26.41 mil to spend. icon_smile.gif

Need a lb, yor two forwards seem a bit poor, would of kept Esparza if I were you. But you must be doing well if you've finished 13th for two years. icon14.gif

i thought about keeping him but he is very ambitious and never want to keep an unhappy player.

i have kenwyne and chopra but they aint that good anymore.

i need to invest in a top quality striker i agree.

Transfer budget is pathetic mate - you start off with 500k and are supposed to get 80% of any transfer revenue you make, but I simply haven't.

Whoever is doing the Sunderland researching wants shooting, Niall Quinn has said on numerous occasions money is available and will be spent in January - so I've no idea what's going on.

There's also the stuff with the training facilities just being good, instead of 'top class' and our debt seems to have vanished despite the bank loans being servicable and still in place.

So in otherwords you think Sunderland have no chance to challenge for a UEFA cup spot in the first season.

Yes i agree with you sounds like the research looks rather off target for Sunderland. I would have thought that Sunderland have more money to spend. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

there is no way you'll challenge for a uefa spot - not unless the rest of the league have insane amounts of injuries

- also very disappointed with researching of sunderland! </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

I just finished my first season with Sunderland, 5th place in the league!!!

The Sunderland midfield was the weakest link so I brought a few new players in there. All strikers had problems with scoring, amazing how many good goalscoring opportunities Kenwyne Jones missed!

Team 2007/2008

GK: Gordon

DR: Nosworthy / Halford

DC: Ignasevich (free)

DC: Higginbotham / Anderson / McSchane

DL: Harte / Wallace

DMC: Flamini (on loan) / Kavanagh

MC: Fellaini (€ 2.5M)

MC: Sapara (€ 2.7M) / Whitehead

AMR: Edwards / Witsel (€ 1.5M)

AML: Richardson / Hunt (on loan)

FC: Mirallas (on loan) / Connolly / Kenwyne Jones

At the end of season one there's € 50M in the bank, € 30M transfer funds.

I'm currently considering an offer from Portsmouth for Craig Gordon (€ 30M) ; from Benfica for Witsel (€ 10M).

Niall literally throws money at me when i ask, haha

I know, hes mint icon_biggrin.gif.

Yeah i know im just bitter not getting a win tbh.

What did ya think of the Halford sending off?

I dont think it was tbh.

He pulled Healy back, deserved to go IMO, just cant believe how badly we played, and how Leadbitter and Stokes missed them chances.

I'm loading up my Sunderland game now, aint played on it in days cos I've just got Pro Evo icon_cool.gif

Alright, so, Im now at the start of my 2nd season, I didn't do too bad last season, but Im at a bit of a loss as to a sound strategy, obviously I know the basics, but its the fine print thats letting me down I think, so any advice on tactics you guys think would suit this squad would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance icon_smile.gif

I finsished 10th in 4th season

it was touted that they wanted a new manager and may not offer me new deal but did now and say they want respecatble finish after 2 year plan

Sold gordon for £24 Mil

Stokes to Celtic for £9 Mil

Sold them as was too good to refuse and i accepted them, Niall didnt intervein.

Bought Carson from liverpool for £2.8

Signed ILan

not a bad team so far, also use Mads Albaek now who is touted as next michael laudrup

very good and top scorer in attacking midfield

i will post some screenies when i can.

Apparently they are very happy with my managing due to my tight budget on wages and healthy bank balance.

Which is good.

£40 Mil to spend on transfers in coming season

Looking for a top class centre back to partner David (Brazillian) as he needs another rock with him

Refused a 15 Mil pound bid from Charlton for it.

You sold Stokes for 9 mil in the fourth season!

In my first season I had loads of bids of ten mil for him and I rejected them, he's class man!

Damn you beat my record, I beat Bristol City 7-1.

You got ripped off with McShane and Richardson anarll.

That Alex is crap, he got a four for me, he's going to Sporting for 7.5 mil in January, he's only played 3 or 4 games for me.

About to play Man City on my game atm. icon_frown.gif

I'm not doing so well, this season, apart from my 4-0 win over Blackburn, 7-1 over Bristol City and 5-1 over Hull City, who have 4 points from games.icon14.gif

I'm 14th with 19 gone, 8 points off 18th and 8 points off 7th, so its alright, hopefully ccan just finish about 10th a couple of places higher than last season. icon_smile.gif Jermain Defoe has got 12 for me so far, Matusiak on 6, Whitehead on 5 and Harte and Kenwyne on four.

im doing quite good in my first season nearly january and in 9th in the league, have beaten totenham 2-1 and portsmouth 3-0 as some good results icon_biggrin.gif. i only brought in patrik berger as richardson had long injury at season start and needed someone cheap and agustin delgado as striker backup.

chopra is quite good on mine altho does miss some easy chances, but has scored 9 in 18 games. Leadbitter plays well too, he got called up to eng U21 in his only game for them he scored a goal and got man of the match.

anyone got a good striker for sunderland who is very good at just scoring goal after goal? cos that seems to be what im missing, jones or delgado are good target men but none of tem seem reliable at putting them in the net.
