I just finished my first season in charge of Man United.

I won every competition after making a few signings.

Here are my squad and my signings

Competitions

Community Shield

Carling Cup

Premiership

FA Cup

Champions League

The chairman also accepted this offer from Real Madrid for Carlos Tevez.

I didn't really want to sell him but I had no choice so I brought in the younger Sergio Aguero for 32.5 million as a replacement.

Any thoughts/advice greatly appreciated.

I used him quite often when I got him back for loan, so he turned into a quite good striker. good with his feet and good at heading, the season before i sold him he got 31goals 10 assist in all competitions mainly as a substitute, so interrest was really high in him so decided to cash in on him

I'm with man united in January of the first season and At. Madrid offered £25 million + 50% of next sale, so David Gill accepted the offer for me.

Should I offer Pique a new contract and try convince him to stay or should I let him go, and who should I replace him with?

I'm playing as Man Utd - and I'm in October in my second season.

Pathetically, I won nothing in my first year at the club, instead finishing runner-up in every competition I entered (bar the Charity Shield, which I won icon_rolleyes.gif )

I feel a lot more confident this season, but failed to get a left winger to replace Giggs or a new GK before the deadline. Nani and Foster just aren't up to it icon_frown.gif.

I now have £37m to spend in Jan and I think it's vital get it right.

Any recommendations for said positions, bearing in mind I'm playing 8.02.

Ta muchly.

He's not as good on 8.0.2 is he? Mainly pace, but it looks like finishing and composure have had 1 off too icon13.gif

Should I go for him?

I have 90 million left to spend after selling Tevez and lots of fringe players.

YES!!!

If you buy Ramos, he'll easily replace both Brown and O'Shea, but maybe keep brown on as cover for DR - apart from neville you dont seem to have a proper replacement - pique and vidic although you've trained them to play as full backs they are most certainly better of as centre backs.

Here is my first team squad coming up to 2010:

FMManUtdFirstTeam.jpg

What I really like is that my team mainly comes from three countries, England, Portugal and Argentina. This wont change much in the future since in my reserves team I have Adrien, Piatti and a bunch of English players, plus Cahais and San Roman gaining work permits icon_smile.gif

I've just finished my first season with Man United.

I won the Premier League and the F.A. Cup(won on penaltis against Chelsea)

I lost the League Cup final 5-1 against Arsenal and went out to Valencia 5-4 on aggregate in the first round of the Champions League.

Squad:squadar5.th.jpg

Can you think of anywhere I need to strengthen? I have £60 million to spend.

Transfers:transfersov2.th.jpg

The board agreed a transfer for Nani to real Madrid for £16.25 million and Giggs is not good enough so I need to replace Nani at AML. I was thinking of Guardado9for £20.5 million) but have you got any other suggestions...

I also want to sell Saha and replace him with another fast striker...Aguero has a min. fee release clause of £34 million, which I think is pretty good value... so should I get him or do you think I should get someone else...

I have agreed the transfer of Alexandre for £100k, and he'll come when he is 18 in 2009

Alexandre:alexandrerr6.th.jpg

What do you think of him?

Lloris is class he is worth that but imo Marcelo is better than Guardado for AML and you can get him for his 5.5 million release clause

Season 2007/08

Has promised my update on the start of the season.

Transfers:

03032008214800gd9.th.jpg

I am playing with a 3rd party database so both Ben Foster and Gary Neville are fit. Didn't manage to offload Eagles before the deadline.

Community Shield vs Chelsea

03032008214938mm9.th.jpg

vs Liverpool

03032008215341sw8.th.jpg

Plaing a 4-1-2-2-1 formation so Tevez is backup for Rooney but he's not getting a look in due to Rooney being on hot form, probably play him in Europe have Spartak Moscow, Valencia and Lazio in my group.

Rooney's blistering form (for club and country has 4 hat-tricks in last 6 games)

At the end of August so I need a quick reply...Should I sell Anderson to Real Madrid for £30 million + 30% of his next sale.. and who should I replace him with at AMC or AML..I would have £40-50million but Messi and Silvawont join

Messi and Silva probably the best. How about Marcelo? If in your first season should cost £5.5m. Ben Arfa can play on both wings and in the middle.

Guardado moved to Liverpool and Marcelo has gone to Milan.Might get Ben Arfa or Navas has a £24 million release clause and Kuzmanovitc from Fiorentina looks good.

Be wary of Navas he can be injury proned have a look at Rosina should be at Torino he can play both wings and freekick specialist.

Well I'm halfway through my second season at Man Utd and have decided to do a little review of how my first season went and how this season is going. First season was one of my best ever on any FM, won every single competition I entered, with Rooney scoring 56 goals in all competitions, 40 in the league. Only made a few signings for the future, including Saivet, Kroos and Sunny. I loaned all my younglings out to gain experience. Only sold one player, which was Owen Hargreaves, to a stupid Italian team named Fiorentina. After only playing about 10 games from August to January, Fiorentina offered a staggering £22.5 million for the hit and miss midfielder. It was a no-brainer really!

So that's it for season one, now onto season two.

This season I made quite a few signings and sales, some for the future and some for the present. The most notable outs were Michael Carrick, who went to Newcastle for £12.5 million, Darren Fletcher to Blackburn for £7.5 million, and John O'Shea to Blackburn for £5 million. I also loaned Nani to Juventus as I forgot how old Giggs actually was and thought he could play one more season, how wrong I was lol.

I brought in a few regens for the future, and both Zaccardo and Pander for free, both of which are really good signings. To replace Carrick I brought in Miguel Veloso for £8.25 million. To replace Nani I signed Matias Fernandez from Villarreal for £10.75 million and I must say, I think he will keep Nani out of the first team when he comes back! And the last major signing I made was that of Lorenzo De Silvestri for £27 million, I know it sounds expensive, but most of it was over 24 months, so it ain't that bad.

As for competitions, it's going amazing once again, however I did get knocked out in the League Cup semi-final by Chelsea after extra time icon_frown.gif In the league my record is Played 20 Won 19 Drew 1 Scored 59 Conceded 14.

So overall I think my team is good enough to dominate English, and hopefully European, football for many years to come icon_biggrin.gif
