Football Manager

I told the board I'd win the title again so they gave me 54 million pounds. So far I've bought Yann M'Vila, Ryan Shawcross and Gareth Bale. Redknapp was being a real cunt about Bale, I'd offer 30 million, he'd counter with 75 million. We kept going at that until I offered 22 million up front and 22 million over 48 months and said it was non-negotiable and he accepted.

I'm trying to get Fernando Llorente as well and sell off some dead weight. Already gotten rid of Aquilani, Poulsen and Insua.

Llorente seems like he'd be a like for like for Carrol. Are you planning on playing them together?

 

[calgaryballer]

Uggh. My bad run of form has started. 2-0 loss to Spurs in the Carling final, 1-2 loss to Everton at home, 0-4 loss away to Stuttgart in Europa.

 

[calgaryballer]

I am scoring goals, but the defence has gone leaky. Winston Reid, James Tomkins and Matty Upson can't seem to do shit. Onuoha isn't the force he was on the right that he was at the start of hte season

He would be but I really don't have anyone to fill in for him in that role. N'Gog kind of can but he does better coming on for Suarez.

 

[mgoblue2290]

Don't think I'm going to end up buying another striker. Between N'Gog, Kuyt, and Wickham they should get the job done.

 

[calgaryballer]

Shitty. Thats why I stopped a Villareal game I was enjoying, all my players were getting suspended after only 3 yellows

 

[calgaryballer]

Spain, France and Germany (and Iceland) were drawn together for the 2012 Euros. That is a Group of Death

 

[calgaryballer]

It's just annoying, you'd really think they could get this all straightened out.

Especially in Serie A. It's not like its a backwards league like MLS

 

[calgaryballer]

Not sure what to do this season. We finished 7th last year, after fading hard down the stretch (that 30 match unbeaten run turned in to 3 wins in 10)

I feel we are solid in most places, and I think that will get us another top half finish. Might start looking for replacements for Parker and Green, but the ones I want are out of my price.

Also, Galatasaray is coming hard for Fatic. Have to see at what price they break me

 

[calgaryballer]

How much money is the board giving you to spend?

Hasn't been presented to me yet. I am hopeful of perhaps getting Willian from Shaktar on a free...

 

[calgaryballer]

Presented now...£450,000!

Fuck

The wage budget is even below what I am spending now

 

[mgoblue2290]

I always try and bring him back in as my Assistant Manager but he'll never even enter into negotiations. He is still unemployed and I'd much rather have him than Sammy Lee. Let me know what kind of formation you end up running.

 

[calgaryballer]

Ouch. It might be time to move, to a bigger club.

Haven't been a lot of openings around, because I am thinking the same. A def David Moyes/Martin O'Neill situation

 

[calgaryballer]

There are some international jobs open, may apply for those and take some time away from the club game

 

[calgaryballer]

They gave me 150-1 odds. To be honest, I probably don't need to expand the squad much

 

[calgaryballer]

I forgot I had paid Liverpool £4.3mil for Andre Wisdon. Whoops

Don't really need him, but whatever I guess

 

[calgaryballer]

Peru offered me a job. This will be my chance to get some really wacky formations tried out

 

[calgaryballer]

4.3 for Wisdom? I've never seen him develop into anything more than a League 2 player. How does he look in your save?

Currently 2.5*, my top scout thinks he can be 4*. So figured it was worth a shot. I need to groom someone to replace Upson, and wanted to keep it English

 

[mgoblue2290]

Oh yeah meant to mention this earlier. So in my save Man United won the Champions League and finished 5th so they auto qualified meaning Man City doesn't get in. Man City had spent 97 million pounds on transfers and they didn't make it.
