Evon Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Too many strikers, too many youth players, no actual good buys, nobody getting sold and the squad is way too big. Transfer listing players doesn't do anything to the morale unless you shove everyone on the list or all the favourite players. Sell at least 20 players from your reserves and first team. And get some good senior players...that's basically the same squad but just with Guilherme who's completely pointless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpiC2z Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 thanks evon! i actually want to have a squad thats as close to irl as possible. sounds like a change is coming though. ppl im looking to offload in the first team are saha and hargreaves mainly. but they hardly have any suitors! Saha Hargreaves Brown and maybe Fletcher/Park! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

waynefazli Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I just signed zapata for free. i am on my 3rd season with Manchester United btw. he seems to be an excellent signing. i also signed Alexis from valencia and Lorenzo De Silvestri for a fee of €32million and €23.5million respectively. they seem to be an excellent signing. and my rooney has been banging in lots of goals ever since i make him my captain. and tevez has been my super-sub. scoring all the important goals. he reminds me of solksjaer (: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

adonis Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Originally posted by pele10:what do you tell Rooney? Because he has a very determined character you can be harsh with him. At halftime in home games if he has a 6 rating tell him your dissappointed, if a 7 have faith in ability, 8 again faith in ability. Away games if he has 6 or 7 have faith. But against your rivals you can tell him your dissappointed even with a 7 rating and he will become motivated. Most games I tend to encourage him has usually gets 1 or 2 goals in the first 45 mins anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rydo L Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 O.K I was thinking of starting a new game with United as i hav'nt been them on the new patch yet. I'm thinking the team looks pretty solid and don't think i would need to sign anyone in the 1st season apart from a few youngsters for the future. Also, i've been hearing that the clubs finances are pretty poor and usually goes into debt. Is this true, and how are the transfer budgets each season are they quite decent? thanks!

adonis Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I have Rooney on long shots mixed and he doesn score his fair share of screamers, where gk's don't even see them coming. Akinfeev is surprisingly a very good gk, much better than he was on fm07. In my third season my balance is -£2m...and the board are happy, thats mainly due to my big buys but have also brought in alot of money through getting good prices and winning things. With a 100,000 capacity stadium I am getting around £3m per game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

adonis Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Coming to the January transfer window 2009. Pique has been attracting alot of clubs, he is worth £10m has 4 years left on his contract and is backup to Vidic and Richards. Also have Sergio Ramos and J Evans who can play there with Salkho out on loan. Just had an enquiry from Inter who offered £16m but I negotiated it to £0 upfront, £20m after 24 months AND £40m after 1 international appearance. He only has 1 cap so far but none this season probably due to his lack of games. I am looking at Criscito to replace him but won't be able to get him til the summer has he has just signed a new contract. Offer too good to refuse? He wants to go and ends up being upset whenever I rejected the earlier bids. My last group game in ECL..got Real Mdrid in 1st knockout round. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

adonis Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Yep thats how he has turned out for me. He is at that age of 22 where he wants 1st team football and Barcelona being his favourite club don't help by making bids every week. My club balance is £7m with £2.4m left for transfers. I don't really need anyone but by selling Pique and getting Criscito it means I have a player who can play all sides of the defence. Think I will sell he has been upset for the past 18months now on and off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bytheway Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 i sold pique half way through 3rd season to barcelona for 15 mil over 24 months,10 mil after 10 international apps (he's made 9 so far) and 50% of next sale. his stats have improved a little since then but he was first team when i sold him so thats why i put 50% on his resale.

xx11 Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 adonis, add a buyback clause to that contract and posssibly sell on clause. I got both them into a deal which saw me get 15million up front, 40million after 1 international. Season later I purchased him back for 11.25m. I had included a 22.5m buyback clause and got 50% of that back Thats after having received the 40million from the international \o/ Ok he was then on £83k a week wages, but to be honest he would have been up to about £50k by time I purchased him back (09/10) and the profit I made more then covers his wages for quite some time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adonis Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Can't negotiate it any further but I wouldn't want to buy a player back who wanted to go in the first place.

Rasmus Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Hi, I recently signed Huntelaar for my side. What are youe experiences with him? How do i get the best out of him?

trebor1185 Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Was thinking of signing Huntelaar myself as well, so that my wingers have got a better target to aim for, Rooney + Tevez just can't get on the end of the crosses.

Zordan Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Ive bought Huntelaar in a few of my United saves. He have been good on all of them, and as you pointed out he gives united a option in the air which we dont have at presence. Ive found out though that in some saves he takes some games to settle in so you proberly shouldnt expect a immediate van nistelrooy clone but given time he can be the new RvN Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trebor1185 Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Yeah think i'm going to sign him then, will probably need to sell a few players to get the cash, already spent a bit on youngsters. Just signed Stancu as a back up striker for £1m, just bagged himself 4 goals in a friendly against Antwerp.

Ye i bought him, but that was a purely financial purchase since you can sell him for 25m+ after 1 season if you give him a fair amount of games. so often do this and earn 20 odd millions in profit from him. back to the question i used him as a very attacking full back but as you pointed out defending aint his strong side Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
