He's a great player, unfortunately I forgot to buy him in my current game. Lyon want 70 million for him :( Not as bad as Man U wanting 170 mil for Silva though :eek:)

strange!! ok my free scoring defender got banned for 3 games, the replacement who is not as good bagged a FIRST half hat trick on his first game and then a further 2 over the next 2 games.

so it appears my left central defender spot is a goal mine! you can see his match rating just at half time he has a 10 with 3 goals

no nothing set, it's only the left side centre back, whoever plays in that postion bags goals, saying that i have only let in 12 goals in 25 league games, so we are pretty tight. since the 802 patch i have sured up at the back and free scoring!
 
I was signing a few people early into the game, and signed a guy for £100k, so far this season his stats are;

Apps - 22(3)
Goals - 21
Assists - 13
MoM - 5

His name is Rok Kronaveter, he looks very good. Also ex Palace player Kaviedes seems to be good too.

Sounds good. :) I play Vidic there and he gets a few goals but not as many as your DCs. Perhaps you ought to share your tactic(s) with us? ;)
 
Got Ipswich to the Premiership, signed the likes of Aurelio, Cavani, Voronin etc, and the game ended up crashing.

Made a cracker of a deal, signed Rok Kronaveter for £100k in my first season, when i got promoted ended up selling him for £10m + Stephen Ireland, not bad.

Gotta start it again now though, lol.
 
Lol, yeah i know, nevermind.

I know people who to sign now, but just need the luck towards the end too :p.

Anyone know any keepers for Championship? Was thinking signing Joe Lewis, as hes a good prospect, at the minute i have Bywater on loan.
 
Signed a few people so far;

Rene Mihelic - £90k
Rok Kronaveter - £80k
David Marek - 0
Christian Jardler - £800k
Jordi Cruyff - £100k
Vladimir Koryt'ko - £1.5m
Victor Anichebe - Loan
Matt Holland - £1m
Andy Carroll - £2.5m (looks a good prospect)
Kevin Philips - £500k

Still got a fair amount left to spend, and looking to sign Lulinha.

Still need another defender or two, and a keeper.

Just signed a youngster Salvatore Foti for £2m, but goes through in January.

Not a bad start to the season, think ive lost one, but thats it so far.

I have two people coming in January 2008 which are Foti and Lulinha, so should add some attacking power to my team.

I only have one good centre back still..trying to get a freebie :(.
