Nobby_McDonald Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Unless the teams coming up are equally crap as those going down, you have a lot of work to avoid going down with Cesana next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midlothian Posted March 3, 2010 Author Share Posted March 3, 2010 Hmmm. A tough decision ahead. Lazio approached me. They would pay four times as much as I earn now, they offer me a wage budget of 800k/week (it's 200k/week at Legnano now) and a transfer budget of 27.5M pounds. But the team is 19th, even below my beloved Legnano. However, they have a reasonably good, experienced squad which shouldn't be in trouble. What do you think? Should I take it? By the way, Legnano have a record of 2-3-7, with a wretched goal difference of 5-26 and we're struggling mightily even though I don't think we should.

Nobby_McDonald Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 I'd be off like a shot. Four times your current salary? It's a no brainer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midlothian Posted March 4, 2010 Author Share Posted March 4, 2010 Well, Siena made my decision for me: I kept Lazio wait a week, played a home league game against them with Legnano. Result? 0-3, with a shot count of 0-18. It just ceased to be fun so I was off. After an indifferent start, we came to life in January as I made five new signings: Mikel Pérez, a 19-year-old striker from Athletic Bilbao Ricardo Martínez, a 25-year-old central midfielder from Sampdoria Rui Santos, a 26-year-old right-back from Sahtar Matteo Corti, a 22-year-old central midfielder from Barcelona José Ramón Díez, a 20-year-old DC, DM, DMC from Athletic Bilbao. They really got the team going. Our last seven results were: Lazio-Fiorentina 1-0 Lazio-Cesena 1-0 Livorno-Lazio 1-2 Lazio-Napoli 1-0 Genoa-Lazio 1-1 Siena-Lazio 2-2 Lazio-Torino 2-0 Milan-Lazio 0-1 We're about to welcome Chelsea in the Europa League first knockout round.

midlothian Posted March 5, 2010 Author Share Posted March 5, 2010 OK, I finished the season but more about that later, first, I can't resist showing you something. I might have put the future of the club at risk with this deal (we'll have to pay 25M over 48 months) but look at this guy. Bezerra My scout gave him five stars, something I never saw before. He's absolutely staggering. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midlothian Posted March 5, 2010 Author Share Posted March 5, 2010 Yeah, we've enjoyed an excellent relationship since they've begun to specialise in supplying these flashy newgens exclusively for my benefit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GioGio85 Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 he is amazing! 25m worth it if you can afford it. Hows he doing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midlothian Posted March 7, 2010 Author Share Posted March 7, 2010 He finished the season with 16 league goals, 9 assists and an average rating of 7.12. Not bad but I expected more. He's only 24, though, I expect he'll reach his peak soon and then we'll see something. I'm now two seasons behind in terms of updates... but I'll do them sometimes, I promise.

fatski Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 He's awesome, but that Jumping attribute of 4 really grinds my gears. Very strange to give him 18 Heading and 4 Jumping, because if he never gets off the ground, how can they tell he can head the ball like Tim Cahill?! Either way, seems like you're doing well! Was a bit disappointed that you left Legnano tbh, as a romantic FM player, but I suppose it's more realistic this way... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
