I'm finding that too. I'm sending scouts out to look for players younger than 18. The scouts are coming back saying, "Nada", in the local dialect of the region they've just been! :mad:

As for what season, it's January 31st 2009. I am Man Utd yes. No buy back for Rossi afaik. I do want him back. He looks very good and is at Juve now from Villareal so will cost mega-bucks. :(

I'll check Cabanas out now. :)

Ah right.

Cabanas might not be ideal for Utd, not THAT good.

Rossi is good in my game, signed for £33m to Chelsea.

You tried Martins? I got him for £9m last time i tried.
 
Well, heres my team at the start of season 5(before any games have been played):
First teams squad.
Two players for every position, rotating every game where possible:
(12 Italians in a squad of 22! Quite pleased by that :)).

And the summer transfers:

My problem for the next season is that all of my midfield are young. I have two very good MCs out on loan in Merida & Nocerino. So what do i do with them?
I'll probably sell Merida as he hasnt really impressed that much in his loan periods. But that still leaves me with one more MC than what i need: Nocerino.
Now, apart from tackling, which is 15, his stats paint him as a good DM. So the option i suppose would be to sell Mascherano, who would be 28 next season. But he is still my best DM.

Thoughts and advice?

Last time I checked, he was doing well on my game too. Im pretty sure hes at Arsenal still.

Just had a Confederations Cup game vs England, they had Ryan Taylor partnering Owen up front. No Rooney, I guess he was tired as you play 3 group matches in 6 days. Then a semi final who I play Mexico then the final only 3 days after that I think.
 
Coming towards the end of my season (9 April 2011), trying to decide what to do next. Pretty much won everything, signed a few big players..got enough youngsters that'll last me for the next 3-4 seasons.

Dunno whether to just stay at fulham till 2015 or something, main reason is i dont want to leave my team..they're amazing :(.

Hmm. You could sell Ronaldo back to Utd for less than you paid for him? :p

Haha! :p

I think ill sell a few players actually.

Have no need for Aimar, Hubschman, Coloccini, Konchesky, van der Vaart, Mitea, de Zeeuw etc anymore. Oh and Mikel :p.

Might get a youngster for backup left back, might sell Kleber now, hes 31.
 
List of Reserves at the moment, below the scroll are; Carlos Vela, Aaron, Arkaitz Illundain.

Other players not on loan at the moment include; Sidnei, Toto Tamuz, Alejandro Gomez, Vladimir Bystrov, Obi Mikel, Tomas Sivok, Manuel Fischer, Vyacheslav Malafeev (good keeper), Lulinha, Andrey Arshavin and David Albelda. Could make a good team in premiership with that :D.

How much are you paying in wages? Or do the loan clubs pay 100% of the players' wages? And do you get any money from sending them out on loan?

Some are to affiliates, so thats me paying.

But the big players, VdV for example, most of the clubs pay 70%+.

Im paying about £1.8m on wages atm. Partly cos of players like Aguero (110k), Ronaldo (125k), Huntelaar (100k), Rosina (105k), Diego (93k).

Ronaldo (still at Utd in my game! :p) is the highest earner with £110k a week. My wage budget is £1.6m and I'm spending about £1.5m of that.

Hehe :p.

I just spent £30m on another striker, hmm.

Gonna use the next transfer window to think about replacing the likes of Toni, Henry, Albelda (might keep him for a bit), Kleber, Riki, Hargraves, Malafeev, Aimar.
