I like it. To get into the folder I'm going to setup you'd need a username and password so I could either dump the forum in there (no straight away!) so you login to forum through logging into site. Or put it in another password protected folder. :)

There will be an index.html page to start with. The file links will be on this so the forum access could be gained by clicking a link on this page so again it is protected.

I love a bargain, me.

Was checking Utd's team as i have them in the Qtr final of Champs League, was checking whos fit and whos not and i noticed Tevez was set as 'Unh' so i had a look, and it has 'Aproach to sign' as he was out of contract soon...so i snapped him up. More cover! :D

I would say Silva. Can play at AMRLC. Ronaldo only really AMRL. Silva quite a bit better where Ronaldo isn't, better crossing, long shots etc. :)

Yeah, means i can start to get rid of Sheva.

My lineup upfront is;

Nihat / Shevchenko / Adriano / Pato / Bojan

But i use Pato / Bojan in a AMC-L and AMC-R role.

I'd go for Messi. Depending on your database, he has a £41.5m release clause. Silva is very good.. depends who is cheapest out of them two, Ronaldo is good.. but at Milan, you should have Seedorf, who is very good till 2009 or so.

£103m release clause on Messi :(

I want Bojan but not enough cash now. Seedorf has been sold to Real Madrid :p

Inter have made a £18m bid for Gattuso...

Saved some cash and got Montolivo and Van Der Vaart instead.

Inter want Gattuso. You think I should sell ?

He's the best DM in the game, i wouldn't.

Bojan had a release clause in my game too...so can't help you there.

Don't sell;

Gattuso, Pirlo, Nesta, Zambrotta, Pato and Kaka. Off the top of my head anyway.

Whats your lineup?
 
Bennah said:
Gattuso has done. I stalled the offer and the board accepted it :(

Needed the cash tbh :(

What was your wage budget / used wage?

He's brilliant too :(.

My various lineups;

First squad/important games;

GK: Julio Cesar
DL: Chiellini
DC: Felipe
DC: Fazio
DR: Ramos
DM: Flamini
DM: Gattuso
AMC-L: Silva
AMC: Kaka
AMC-R: Messi
ST: Nihat

Second squad, rotated every league game, used in league mostly;

GK: Agliardi
DL: Zambrotta
DC: Felipe
DC: Nesta
DR: Lahm
DM: Pirlo
DM: Veloso
AMC-L: Ronaldinho
AMC: Montolivo
AMC-R: Rosina
ST: Shevchenko

Mix squad, mixes the two above teams, when injuries/suspensions;

GK: Julio Cesar
DL: Chiellini
DC: Bonera
DC: Nesta
DR: Ramos
DM: Pirlo
DM: Veloso
AMC-L: Ronaldinho
AMC: Montolivo
AMC-R: Rosina
ST: Adriano

And a final squad, is when i end up using only two rotations, some players dont get many games, so i have an 'Apps' squad;

GK: Agliardi
DL: Chiellini
DC: Felipe
DC: Fazio
DR: Ramos
DM: Pirlo
DM: Veloso
AMC-L: Pato
AMC: Montolivo
AMC-R: Bojan
ST: Adriano

Many-a rotations :p.

It works very well though, allows players to not get suspended as regularly, and i use my whole squad. Atm the squad is of 25, which is a good number, when i need to get rid of a few, i can.

OT: Playing Inter in the league, 3-0 up already, hatrick from Nihat in 12 minutes :eek:.
 
Had a few scouts, and options are;

Pique (£10m release), replacement for Nesta, my future centre back will be; Felipe / Fazio / Pique (if i was to get him).

Another is Sergio Aguero, if i wanted to anyway, would have to wait till next season to buy him though at about £37.5-41.50m.

I pretty much use the same formation as you.

GK: Agliardi / Abbiati
DR: Bonera / Oddo
DC: Nesta /
DC: Felipe / Maldini / Kaladze
DL: Zambrotta / Kaladze
CM: Pirlo / Flamini
CM: Ambrosini / Tymoschuk
AMR: Rosina / Montolivo
AMC: Kaka / Van der Vaart
AML: Ronaldinho / Pato
ST: Villa / Inzaghi / Borriello

January transfer window, Im after another DC and AMR.

My wage is £1.123M so its not that bad really.

Augero is on my shortlist too. I reckon around £40m.
 
The one from Sevilla?

I do have 24m left but I dont really want to be spending it all and getting the club into debt :p

You wont, if you win the league :p.

He's only cheap and ends up VERY good.

Already won the league again, 5 games before end :).
 
Does anyone have a link to a latest squad update patch/database?

That hopefully includes everything that went on in the last day of the transfer window?

I'd love to start playing around as United with Berbatov and Manucho etc... :)

Do these things actually start in the 08/09 season or what?
