mackemforever Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Stevan Jovetic. Signed him for Sunderland at the start of the 2nd season for £14 million, pretty much all of my transfer budget. He was doing great for half a season, stats were good, scoring for fun but suddenly, and for absolutely no reason, his stats plumetted. Almost every single stat dropped by 3 to 4 points and he turned from a world class striker to a distinctly average championship striker in a day. Stuck with him for another 6 games and he failed to average over 6 and because of his huge stats drop I only managed to sell him for about £3 million.

IMT Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Vanger Love10.25m to Celtic which was just about my whole budget Pictures say 1000 words! But just to magnify it more... 16 hours! Never again, never again I have recently signed Vagner Love for £8million for my Zenit team, was really excited as thought he would be the final piece in the jigsaw to win the RPD after being pipped to the post by Spartek in the first season, and like for you he has been pants, 9 games 0 goals, thats it he's now dropped, going to play Sparcelli who scores vertually everytime I take off Love for him! Luckily he isn't costing me too much, won 7 drawn 1 and lost 1 of Loves 9 games (and the defeat was 2-1 at Anfield in the Champions League) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.W. Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 seems the worst players are the ones who keep the physio busy the most. it is advisable to scout a player before signing him and see if he is susceptable to injuries, rather than buying a player because he has good attributes or likes your club etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gooner32 Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 When I was scrolling down I noticed someone mention Ben Arfa. He was great for me rotating with Walcott. Adapted very quickly and easily blended in. Theres a massive trend of strikers and midfielders but how about defenders? My worst defender signing was Glen Johnson on my Milan save. I thought that the team was getting on a bit and Johnson could come in to help with defence but also offer something going forward. How wrong was I...

TigerJoe Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Maybe it was tactics. Geovanni isn't a natural striker you know and is not effective there.

Scarykarl Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Everyone talks about the bargains they find in the game, and how great certain players are. But I thought I would be different and talk about who the worst people you have signed are, and also the worst deals you have made. My Worst signing and deal has to be Chris Kirkland, not long after I first bought the game. I was playing as blackpool and after my third season went up to the Prem. Kirkland was playing for Aston Villa, for whom he signed for for £9mil. I was determined to get him as was the only keeper with plenty of Prem experience that was willing to join me. I ended up spending my entire transfer budget of £23mil on him. The the first season he played for me went as follows: Pre-Season - September = Injured Rest of season - Played 44, Conceded 91. Average Rating of 5.9. My defence usually averaged 6 or 7 so it wasn't always there fault. I sold him the following year to Bolton for £4mil (after being relegated) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jirki88 Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Danny Walker, american striker. Signed him as a striker to Gauthiod in 2012, for about 3 million euros.

Greasy Chip Butty Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 FM07 - Season 4 and I had Sheffield United in a Champions League spot in January, still in League Cup (semis) and easy draw in FA Cup. I wanted a striker to finish off the good work of my wingers (Sherman Cardenas I think and Ashley Young) so I snapped up James McFadden for £7m. Easily our transfer record. Played him through January/February (he was available for League Cup Semi) ... By end of February, we were out of both cups and down to 8th in Premiership. He hadn't scored or created a goal in about ten games and Young and Cardenas both disliked him. So I had to drop him for most of rest of season - we made Intertoto Cup just. Happy ending: Reading were relegated so I could finally get Kevin Doyle and they accepted a Part Exchange deal with McFadden. Idiots! Doyle fired me to the title two years later!
