bluebirds4life Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Sheffield United squad - start of patch 9.03 STAR PLAYERS Mathew Kilgallon - A solid centre back, quick tall and can! tackle a mark, one of the best in The Championship Nick Montgomery - You may not see but his tackling and marking are both 18, which is fantastic for championship level, he always works hard as well. Ok now to the club information! Nation England Year Founded 1889 Status Proffessional Reputation National Chairman Status Loves The Club Legends None Icons Brian Deane, Alan Kelly, Neil Warnock, Steve Bassett, Phil Jagielka, Michael Brown Favoured Personel Paddy Kenny, Keith Edwards, Bob Booker Fierce Rivals Sheffield Wednesday, Leeds United Other Rivals Barnsley, West Ham, Nottingham Forest, Rotherham Finances Okay Season Ticket Holders 19 000 Estimated Value 23m(25.3m debt) Media Prediction 10th Squad Personallity Determined Captain Chris Morgan Vice Captain Paddy Kenny Transfers Transfer Budjet: 2m, can be adjusted Wage Budjet: 181k per week, again can be adjusted These are my reccomended ins and outs of 9.3! Who to buy Martin Rowlands - QPR - 800k - A good buy, especially for center midfield, should partner Montgomery well. Marek Sapara - Rosenborg - 1.2-1.8m - A fantasic centre mid, prem standard. Andy Dorman - St.Mirren - 300-750k - A solid centre midfield Stephen Appiah - Free Transfer - Free Transfer - A great centre mid, for profit or for prem! Sergey Krivets - BATE - 500-850k - Champ/Prem solid centre midfielder, well worth the money Brian Easton - Hamilton - 300k - Fantastic tackling, young as well, value for money Emilliano Insua - Liverpool - Loan - Solid loan signing, very reliable Marcin Wasilewski - Anderlecht - 180k - Most times transfer listed, a lot of wage but worth it Olivier Deschast - Anderlecht - 120k - A personal favourite of mine, also most times transfer listed Victor Irineu - Lecce - 100-300k - A great striker for championship sides Jonathan Cristaldo - Velez - 210k-600k - A great young striker Ryan McGowan - Hearts - 140 - 350k - Young and some nice stats Robert Lewandowski - Legia - 900-1.2 - Young and reliable, he'll fire a lot of goals in Alexey Smertin - Free Transfer - Free Transfer - Experienced solid defensive mid, will do well for a season Who to Sell Danny Webber - 180k - 900k - He's on a lot of wages so try to gain as much cash as possible Ian Bennett - 0 - 40k - Get as much as possible, 2k wages can come in handy Ugo Ehiogu - 0 - 80k - Hard to sell and not really needed TIP: Ending Arturo Lupoli's loan spell could be effective, he's not amazing and 14k in wages back is very handy Team Report The assistant manager states that he is very pleased with the strength in depth of the squad and I agree, despite possesing a strong squad he feels the weakest area is in the centre of midfield, bring in some of the above mentioned, he feels we have the team to succeed, and I agree. Expectations The expectation really is to try and get promotion, which I agree it shouldn't be too hard, with some signings the premiership shouldn't be too far away. The Challenge Now most of us know that Sheffield United lost in this year's play off final, the challenge is can you take them that little bit further and beyond?

bluebirds4life Posted August 10, 2009 Author Share Posted August 10, 2009 Transfer Target Focus No.1: Marek Sapara Name: Marek Sapara Club: Roseborg Age: 25 Value: 975k Sale Price: 1.2-1.8m Position: C/AM Midfield centre Nationallity: Slovakian Marek Sapara is a solid player who can dominate championship games, he's got some great passing abillity on him and can hit the ball well. He comes in veru useful in dead ball situations as well as set pieces, for his price he's a must buy if you need a centre midfield. He's a solid replacement for Gary Speed when he retires. You can play a diamond if you like with Montgomery/Speed as a defensive midfielder and let Sapara attack, or of course play both at centre midfield.

bluebirds4life Posted August 10, 2009 Author Share Posted August 10, 2009 Transfer Target Focus No.2 Matej Rapnik Name: Matej Rapnik Club: Bravo Age: 18 Value N/A Sale Price - 100 Percent abseloutely FREE Position: Defender Left/Centre Nationallity: Slovenian For a free transfer it has to be worth it, 18 and a lot of potential. At the start of the game, quickly search him and approach to sign to offer him a contract, whether for profit or for prem this guy is very very useful. He could prove to be one of the bargains of your time in Football Manager. He's a good bench warmer if not starter from the start and turns out to be a lower prem player! He will do the job.

Welshace Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 i cant help but lol at your manager's name... why oh why wouldnt you put a real name in? also... im thinking of starting a game with the blades... ive always overlooked them but they have a big squad and lots of potential... i think selling off the deadwood should give you enough cash to build an extremely good squad capable of winning the championship easily and go on to do well in the prem... we'll see...

PERCIVA11 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I'm Sheff Utd and I'm in my first season and I've done rather well, I'm 2nd at the moment, 40 games in and 80 points 2nd place 3 points behind reading. I got to the FA Cup 6th round and League Cup 4th. However, clubs such as Newcastle, Middlesborough, and even CHELSEA are in risk/have been in risk of losing their manager and my name has been mentioned to replace them. Should I try do my best with Sheff Utd or be rewarded with a role at Chelsea/Higher placed team? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky_07 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 End of Season Update Sheff United back in the Premier League, a great season for the Blades and they will be playing Premiership Football next season.

For next season my aim is to survive the drop and then build a decent enough squad to challenge in the Premier League. Anyone got any player recomendations for my first season in the premiership?

What do you think of Henderson, Howard a Cotterill, because if you think they're doing good well keep them but if they're average you might want to sell them, got some great money from Naysmith a Morgan there well done.

Sparky_07 Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Im using Howard in the Premiership and hes doing great for me. I'm using Cotterill as a sub and he does well for me coming off the bench and Henderson might sell him in January now as I don't really use him.
