And sign some of those players!
Theres at least 4 there that'd cost you in excess of £200m overall i would have thought at least.

Which ones ?

I got Messi for 46 mil with his buyout clause a few years ago, Kaka cost 40 mil and it was kinda a case of him been unhappy at not been able to talk to other clubs and i kept offering.
Danni Alves was like 40 odd mil again buy out clause.

Any others you want to know about ?
I'll post my Transfer thingy if you like

second season ? or third i got 60 odd million to spend and then it was increased to 105 mil because of the clubs financial status.
 
I'm not directly calling you a cheater or anything, but i trust the likes of BoomAM's transfer prices than 46 and 40 million for two of the best players in the world respectively.

Just reading through and he spend 64mil on Fabregas, as for Kaka... how you got AC to sell him for 40mil without any forms of trickery i'll never know, last offer i got accepted around 2009 or 2010 was mid 60's as man united.

But not so much the transfers, its more the morale - i find it really hard to believe you have zero serious injuries and pretty much perfect morale all around..

Even after winning pretty much every game, or not losing at least - it is inevitable some players morale would drop..

Anyway, good job if its all legit :)
 
It is all Legit

I'll post Screenies of whatever you want if you don't believe me.
I'll even send you a saved game :)

AC wanted 63 mil For Kara, but he refused to sign a contract i think and wanted to move for another challenge, he's 30 years old so 40 mil was what i held out for.

Messi had a buyout clause of 46 mil, and i wasn't really after buying him but with a buyout that cheap i couldn't help myself.

As for moral i have no idea, i play everyone regular and we win everything. I think its just down to that, i never say a bad thing about my team either :) I'm normally nice post/during/after matches in team talks aswell...

I really didn't think the moral was a big issue ? haha i thought more people have better morals like mine.
 
Fair play mate, really well done :)

I never fail to annoy random players, i'll sign someone new who we already had a main/backup for, the backup will complain to the media, the new player will feel uneasy and the rest of my team will doubt my ability..

I just need to learn to play i suppose XD

Keep going, pretty good unbeaten streak you have :)
 
I've not really had anyone complain, although Rio is getting annoyed ( he's 32 ? old, i have young and exciting center backs that i want to bring through) so i have no idea how i will manage this all, i also don't like signing players. It's too much hassle.

If you're signing players for a position you already have a back up for why are you buying them ? buy them young, whack em on loan/reserves and you shouldn't have any problems. (oldies still pleased to be playing, young people happy to be part of the club and know if they can cut it will get a change).
