Keyzer Soze Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 this is kind a strange, but i never sign english players! LOL I'm from Portugal, and i always start my saves with my favourite team, Benfica. I believe that current theres 0 english players playing in Portugal, and i think the tradition were always like that (apart from that year that Souness managed Benfica), so for me it would be strange to have an english player in my team... so i never sign them! And in some saves, i could sign some really good english regens and i didn't... simple because they were english! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt_CDL Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Never signed anyone who plays or has played for Celtic. Or infact anyone who has ever worn green. Only once have I tried. Made a bid for there best player in FM11 to see if they would accept because I have never tried to sign a player from them to Rangers but they didnt accept it anyway.

Kawee Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I don't sign anyone from Man Utd, Spurs, and Barcelona, just because I personally dislike them all.

tom_numbers Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Gary Hooper. Biggest waste of time ever in the Premiership. 1 goal in 28 games, and when I warned him to improve his performances or he'd be transfer listed, he just said "See you later". Also, possibly controversial, Connor Wickham. I can't get him playing consistently. Sure, he has flashes, but as soon as he has one game off form, then thats guaranteed every shot to either go wide or straight at the keeper for the next 3 months.

REVELZ Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Souness isn't English. He didn't imply that Souness was English.

gunners4eva Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 If a player is signed to : Man Utd, Arsenal, Real Madrid, Barcelona, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Juventus, OL, OM, Bayern Munich, etc. he's not wanted by me. Now about the Arsenal bit (given my name): I enjoy watching the gunners, IRL. In-game, it's just too easy IMO playing as any big team. To me the joy of the game is working with a small or mid-sized team or a "sleeping giant" and working with them all the way to a CL final. It's much better to scout gems (look in France, there are usually many good players for cheap!). That way you can sell them for a healthy profit, or if you keep them, you won't have registration issues for European competitions (home-grown).

scholes=legend Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 In-game, it's just too easy IMO playing as any big team. I wouldn't say its easy specially in a long 30-40 year career game.

Skooma Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Balotelli. Powderkeg personality and I just don't need it. I almost never sign senior players. I always get youngsters. Youngsters everyone signs, but youngsters none the less. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
interesti88 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I mostly always pick Inter in a new FM game, but I don't go after major well-known worldwide players, because your gonna know the outcome 9 out of 10. So I mostly go after young players who are 18 and under(for Champions League home-grown status), or well scouted unknown players. I love finding a gem and trying to get them to become world-beaters.

Serg Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Probably Messi. I've always wondered how good he'd be outside of Barcelona but never even bothered putting in a bid because I know it'll get rejected, plus, Messi staying at Barcelona just makes the game seem much more realistic to me, as stupid as that sounds.

Second one was very wrong of him, but I can't match it with being integer or not. By the way, you're free not to sign him because you don't like him. That's your choice.

Riffraff Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Lukaku is rubbish on my Norwich save. His PA is only 165 and I paid £9 million for him :/ He doesn't score, he doesn't assist yet the fans seem to like him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris10122365455 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Lukaku is immense on my save, scored 27 goals in all comps last season and 16 in the league and only cost 7million in the first season rediculously well known but very good prospect.

What does El-Hadji Diouf have to do with Suarez? I don't think Suarez bite incident isn't worse than the elbow Zidane gave Materazzi in the WC final. Only because Zidane is worshipped by a lot by football fans and people didn't like Materazzi a lot, it is less worse? Or do you think Zidane isn't integer because of that either. El-Hadji Diouf has done a lot more controversial things in and outside the field so I don't see a comparison. I don't know the exact details of all he's done in the past so I don't judge his integrity. About my intergrity, I didn't defend Suarez biting. I only told it has nothing to do with integrity.
