Evanescent Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 In fairness, the board did say they'd buy the stadium... Maybe that explains it. It's still in planning though. Hope it goes through for you. In January, I tried upgrading training facilities but after the planning stage (which went 6 months) it fell through due to lack of funds.

Blue_magic Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Not even the likes of Dominguez, Kameni and Javi Martinez?I can only think that it is a reputation issue; once you achieve qualification to European football, I'm sure most of my rcommended targets would happily join the mighty force of Malaga!

AcidBurn Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I thought they would have a Man City style sugar daddy but has there been enough in real life to suggest this they spent around 60 million Euro's from what I read on the internet. I guess no one knows if the board will sanction any more big spending in real life so they cannot put fore ground sugar daddy in the game but like I said that is a guess. Might be worth asking why in the data issues forum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRL88 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Its the same with Hoffe, maybe its just the second season when the coins are seen.

Babak G Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Personally dont see a difference between PSG or Malaga owners who are effectively the same! Malaga spent a lot of money this summer and so did PSG. Why rate one higher than the other? Dont forget Malaga spent almost 25 m Euros on Cazorla too.

Llew_Arshavin23 Posted October 24, 2011 Author Share Posted October 24, 2011 Here's my view on this 'sugardaddy' debate; In my opinion, there's been sufficient grounds to say that Malaga deserve a foreground sugardaddy. Cazrola cost them 19 million! Who would just go out and buy top players, such as Cazorla, Toulalan and Baptista, then just allowing the club to become penny-less in the Transfer Market in the near future. Malaga have already stated that they're not going to be brash in the transfer market; I've quoted Fernando Hierro with him saying "There will be no madness." - So, if SI are waiting for that 40 million transfer which will then give Malaga that 'Foreground Sugardaddy' it's not going to happen! Look at the wages these players are on too; I doubt the likes of Cazorla, Baptista, Toulalan and Mathjisen would be on 15-20k a week. Once I get home from holiday, I'm seriously considering making a Malaga edit pack which will change the sugardaddy from 'background' to 'foreground'...

Jackreyes Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 How are you guys using Santi Cazorla?

Generation-Next Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 That one.Having a hard time buying players. Any ideas on who to get for dc, dl, amcrl? In euros please. Don't know if this will be much help mate, but - I was after players who could instantly come in and do a job, instead of making a few huge marquee signings. (In Euro's) Ariel Ibagaza - 925k - Brought in as a squad player. Can play AMC and is Awkward at AML/AMR. Can do a job though. Great physicals for a 34 year old. Urby Emanuelson - 5.5mil - Sort of brought in for a squad player aswell, but I also brought him in, so he could fill in at Left back. Carlos Marchena - 8.75mil - as I said, needed players who could come straight into the team, and this is one of them, played good so far this season Cesar Azpilicueta - 14mil - I bought him to start straight away. Fit in nicely, good thing is, he's also a potential 4* Guti - 2.2mil - Lovely bit of business here I think. He can't move. Which is unfortunate But as a DLP on support, he does wonders. Quite possibly one of the best passers on the game. 20passing, 20creativity. Jack Robinson on loan. Played a few games as a sub, and attributes have gone up a little bit already.... As I said, not sure if thats much help to you. --- Got R.Madrid at home next. I'm 6th in the league, from 7 with 13 points.

Literally_On_Fire Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I have to admit, knowing that I won't have more funds has sapped my enthusiasm for this save. I wanted to have a serious go at knocking Barca off their perch (I'm a United fan with a grudge) and that seems very unlikely without some cash. I'm toying with the idea of restarting with a foreground sugar daddy. On one hand, it seems more realistic. Malaga might not splash the cash in quite the same mad way as PSG or Anzhi, but I very much doubt that the Malaga manager will find himself unable to strengthen the squad at all next summer. On the other hand, editing the game to make it easier feels an awful lot like cheating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foreground sugar daddy doesn't give any more money at the very start. I put the slider all the way to transfer money and asked for more wages they gave me more and I was able to create £26 million to spend and be 200k under wage budget. I think a foreground sugar daddy is more realistic and will make the game more fun. People are getting a couple of million in the second season that cannot be right.

No, I know that much but, as we`ve seen from previous posters in here, they`re getting terrible amounts (for Transfer Budgets) in the second season due to them achieving a small amount of success in the first season.

Im not sure I want to continue with this save as at the rate the finances are going Im either going to have to sell quite a few players or go into heavy debt.

Andyp Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Finally got FM12 proper a couple of hours ago and jumped straight into my Málaga save. Made a fair few changes, getting rid of pretty much all backroom staff and replacing with my own: Now have at least 4* rating in all training categories and a rapidly growing scouting network. I've also been fairly busy in the transfer market: Out (£8.5m): Reubén to Napoli for £1.1m Fernández to Vitesse for £5m (a striker with finishing of 11? Hmmm) Caballero to Espanyol for £1.7m Eliseu to Anji for £2.7m Maresca to Napoli on loan for initial fee of £675k and a future fee of £2m In (£31.5m): Hildebrand for free Kameni from Espanyol for £5.25m Vass from Brescia for £800k Eltinho from Coritiba for £4.2m - never heard of him, but one of my new scouts (Brazilian with JCA/JPA of 18) gave him a 4.5* rating so had to be done. Muniain from Athletico for £21m - I also had a (£20m) offer accepted for Sociedad's Griezmann, and it was a very difficult decision choosing between the two, but Muniain's attacking killer instinct sold it for me in the end. I'm still left with enough to bring in one more squad player (£3.69m with wages of £62k p/w) but I think I'm pretty satisfied with the squad as it is at the moment. Got to go to work now!

23drd23 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 For those that have played more than 1 season, what happens when your bank balance enters the negative? Just before this happened to me, I tried changing the sugar daddy from background to foreground using FMRTE*. About a week after changing it to Foreground and my bank balance at less than £3m, £30+m was added into the club by Al-Thani. Im just wondering if that is normal or if changing it in FMRTE actually works? * The field is present in FMRTE but the text in the field is not visible despite the drop down box being there.

Jackreyes Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 I just finished season 2, I haven't changed the sugar daddy type but I've had 1 investment of about 30m but that was to pay for the stadium which they agreed to buy. Other than that I'm staying afloat on Champions League revenue. Somehow I actually won La Liga in my 2nd season, but it was a total fluke. I was battling with Real for 2nd for ages despite having an inferior squad, then Barca seemed to hit a really rough patch, I think it was due to injuries. So the 3 of us were pretty close at the top, and in the last 2 or 3 matches I just managed to win it. Christ knows what I'll have to do next season. I won the Spanish Cup in my first season, but this time went out to Barca in the 5th round. Got past group stages of CL, lost to Arsenal in the first knockout round. Kadlec and Muniain are both coming along amazingly, but I have 7 other U21 strikers that I like.. so something's going to have to happen there pretty swiftly. Bought Thiago in from Barca which end up costing pretty much my entire budget after selling quite a few people at £19m, so now Joaquin is off leaving pretty much only Jesus Gamez, Demichelis, Cazorla and Baptista as regulars.
