This pretty much.

Always good keeping experienced players, if they play along side the younger ones, the younger generally do better.

Might start a Milan game.

Where does it say that they are predicted in the league? (Information).
 
I have a saved game on my PC but cant find my copy of the game anywhere, is there anyway of carrying on playing without using the CD?
 
Nae worries, i rang the font of all knowledge (the mrs) she knew where it was straight away

I was looking for it with my man eyes :/
 
Right, gonna start a game with AC, anyone you recommend buying straight away, BoomAM?

Edit: Restarting, with a European transfer update. Might add Sheva too ;)

Pretty much sorted team for this season, however may get a couple in January.

Team atm;

GK - Dida / Abbiati
DL - Kaladaze / Jankulovski
DC - Felipe / Bonera
DC - Nesta / Maldini
DR - Zambrotta / Oddo
DM - Gattuso / Ambrosini
DM - Flamini / Pirlo
AML - Ronaldinho
AMC - Kaka
AMR - Seedorf
ST - Shevchenko / Pato

Looks quite empty in AMR, L, C but might get someone else in to cover all (Rosina maybe).

Got these coming in 2008;

Arshavin, Nihat, Marchese (prospect) and Donazzan (prospect).

'Cos of the update, hes at Inter.

You should know i always sign him ;).

LOL, arranged a friendly for AC, as i had 30 days till the league, so im playing a Blue Square South team :D:D

Won 8-0, but LOL;

Possession;

Sutton Utd 51% - 49% AC Milan

Shots;

Sutton Utd 2 - 18 AC Milan

At their stadium was a massive 6900, so invited them to the San Siro :D.

Only 3-0;

Possession 80%
Shots 22 (they had 1)

I've just ordered this and will start my quest to get the mighty Bristol City into Europe. I reckon the first season should be fairly easy, but I bet the Premiership will be a bit of a struggle.

Usually I would say hold on until October because 09 in out then. However, as most places are selling it for £10 its a steal.

Some good signings there.
I would have personally shelled out the £20-25m for Akinfeev or someone of that ilk, as neither Dida nor Abbiati are first choice material.
I found that rotating betweeen Jankulovski & Maldini at DL works well, Kaladze is better at DC than Maldini is atm and its best to have a solid backline.
I'd personally buy a good DL or a good DC and a DR for the next season. DM/MC is well sorted for a few, and with what you have and the players out on loan, just a ST in a season or so should set you up with a good base.

:).

Remember that you have Gourcuff out on loan as well for AMR/C...

Search for Weegie update.
You have to register on their forums for it. Worth it though.
I find that the stats are more accurate than the originals imo.
 
Stunning transfer window. Got a £62m budget and managed to sign pretty much everyone i was aiming for.

GK: Akinfeev / Abbiati
DL: Jankulovski / De Ceglie
DC: Nesta / Bonera
DC: Barzagli / Marzoratti
DR: Zambrotta / Lahm
MC: Pirlo / Ambrosini
MC: Gatusso / Flamini
AMC-L: Ronaldinho / Pato
AMC-C: Kaka / Montolivo
AMC-R: Rosina / Seedorf
ST: Shevchenko / Benezema

In:
De Ceglie £5.5m - what a bargain! CA/PA of 142/180 and hes 21 atm!
Barzagli £12m - Bit old at 27, but should get a good 5 seasons out of him.
Lahm £20m - 24 years old, young, and a great price considering his potential.
Benezema £33m - Submitted a cheeky bid not expecting it to be accepted and it was! lol.

Looking good for the new season. :).
