Naismith bit wierd for me :s

Scored like 5 in the first 3 then dried up and hasnt scored in 6.

Lost his place to Darcheville whos on a goal a game.

No Kris boyd,got Defoe plus 2 million for him,great deal :D Defoe's hitting them in, 5points clear at top of the table and Celtic closer to being relegated than winning the league.

What are your instructions for your central mids people?

I got Thiago Neves and Ferguson playing there...but both are really average, I just don't know how to set them...

First season I won the league by 21 pts and the Scottish League Cup, losing the Uefa Cup Final 2-0 to Everton but all my success was due to my wingers and Billy Sharp after January.

give fergie an attacking midfield instrcution get a holding player in such as banega and set him as defensive midfielder.

tell ferguson to tackle easy cos he's partial to a booking or 50 (guy is a joke for getting sent off)

1st season end of October sitting top of the league by 3 points. Got to the Champions league group stage and got drawn in a group with AC Milan, Valencia and CSKA. Hoping for a 3rd place finish. Milan pumped me 4-0 at the San Siro, 2-2 in Russia (jammy bastards scoring in the last minute through Vagner Love) and a great 1-1 draw with Valencia at home in a game i dominated.

Transfers in:

Allesandro Pistone LB ( back up for injured Smith with Papac leaving)

Thiago cm - free from Barcelona (must sign, one for future)

Da Mota - DM (one for future)

Bogdan Lobont - replaced Mcgregor and what a signing 11 conceded in 19 games

Dalla Valle AMC/FW (For the Future)

Transfers Out:

Papac for 3.9M to Wigan

Chris Craig 50K to Falkirk

Ive also let the best youngsters out on loan to Airdire my feeder team

First 11

Lobont

Hutton----Webster---Cuellar---Pistone(until Smith fit)

-------Ferguson/Thompson----Hemdani(run's back into DM

Beasley-------Adam-----------Burke

J/Darcheviie

I also play a 442 with more or less same players and i play the same way Walter does in Europe too.

JCD has 19 in 19, 1 asist and 7MoM

Burke 9 assists with 3 goals

Adam, top quality - 2 goals, 4 assists pass 78% av.r 7.30

Potential singings ?

Potential sales ?

Got 626K left but im sure if i ask ill get more

Just won the treble in my 2nd season beating celtic 6-0 into the bargain.

I'm playing a 3-5-2 formation. Boyd scored 39 goals with Kerlon and Jozy Altidore alternating as his strike partner. I bought Bogdan Stancu the season before for 350k and sold him to west brom for 7.5mil. pablo Piatti is my star player. bought him from roma for 2.1mil and after 1 season every top club in the game after him offering 10mil plus for him. He scored 24 goals 8 assists and 10 MOM in 39 games and also won player of the year. Altidore also a bargain at 650k now worth 5mil and scoring nearly every game. paul anderson from liverpool amazin loan player for me. Had same prob with ugo

Hey ive just got my hands on pablo Piatti 2.2 mil...only played about 6 games for me with two goals..hes fit in sooo well, hes some find mate, For me he needs to brush up on his attacking, as in shooting,but his runs, passes etc are so diffrent and more effective to anything ive got inmy team...So much so he's literly just walked straight in, superb find! got the young keeper from liverpool to, aswell as coco to cover for smith and maybe help my youth, ive found myslf hiring some of the hold boys just so i can get them to teach my youth.

ps..After reading yoru review i errr stitched him up for a minnimum release of 25 mil icon_wink.gif

Bought Kerlon, can't seem to get him playing well. How does everyone else play him?

I'm on Season 2 after winning the treble in my first, isn't go the best, currently sitting 3rd in December. Rory Loy and Nacho Novo are banging in the goals for me after Boyd and Naismith are out for 3/4 months..

Also Alan Lowing...wow, he's pretty much as good as Alan Hutton now so I retrained Hutton into centre half as Lowing couldn't. Lowings also great a set pieces. What a surprise.

I always play Kerlon as a striker but dont have him as a target man. He scores 25 - 30 per season for me

icon_frown.gif just had to sell Van Der Vaart...He was my ace inmy pack, Scoring over 30 odd goals half way through this season, and about 40 all last season in total. but truth be told his stats dropped ever so slightly and after being dropped from the dutch side, i think it was time to move on. he was unhappy at me not allwing him to talk to teams, so i gave him what he wanted and off he went for 8 mil. icon_frown.gifi was planning on fattening him up for 15 mil, but he wanted to go! i got, Andrea laudrup, savait,monnet piatti some chinese guy ready to take the AT-M role! so not all is lost! but rafael was the kinda guy who would blow the roof off the place with a screamer if your team was having one of those nights against some micky mouse 3rd division team.

p.s he was also the guy who would slay ''THEM'' everytime we clashed.

ahhhh great, ive never had this before, Ive just won the league for the second time in a row.My contract is coming to an end. in season 06/07 & 07 / 08 has seen me win 8 honours with one cup still to play for...ok i admit, my time in europe hasnt been good, but it would really help if the chairman would give me sum real cash to bring in real players.they are currently thinking about renewing my contract and i have declined to comment seeing some high positions have come available with the likes of man-u ajax and real madrid. after two years celtic have only beaten me once and i have murdered them all over times. i have a world class rating and i have never had a fall out with a player, so im a touch confused to why they are even thinking about it, i have a young squad with a ton of potential.ive about 6 games to go before the league is over. the fans love me but im a little bemused at the board, my other games have seen me win eurocups back to back etc but for this game i have taken my time on trying new ieas while still going on 20 odd games unbeaten. any tips guys or has someone had this before? and is my fate sealed already ?

apart from europe my performance has been great and am happy with everything exepct this stupid board, as i have said...i have refused to comment on my future at the club when asked by the media, but its weird because having already won the league with about 6 games left..i wonder if this is where the game gets really stupid and fires me if i lose to many of those after i send out my youth squad.

Heh, thanks.

I bought Kerlon for £6M! Pretty much waste of money to be honest. I didn't know there was an Andreas Laudrup!

I signed Prso as a coach in 2009/10!

Follow with pride!
