Of course they did! Arise Sir Capello! :p

So they won the 2010 World Cup and presumably got invited to play in the 2011 Copa America? Who did they beat in the final? That could be the key, although that Wikipedia link suggests winning the World Cup would be enough to gain an invite.

Has anyone signed Sergio Aguero? What player tactics do they use on him? Signed him for Utd and trying to play him with Tevez or Rooney and normally one of them will have a good game and the other will be quiet, then it'll be reversed for the next game.

With a strike force of Aguero/Tevez/Rooney (and Saha/Briand but not used as often) I'd love to be terrorising teams and their defences. :p
 
Hmm could be. Going to try and get Villa or Huntelaar in January. Whoever I do buy I won't have them arrive until the summer, no point in getting a top striker who is already cup tied and can't play in Europe until the next season.

Any other Villa/Huntelaar strikers you can recommend? Need a big target man I think to play off Aguero/Rooney/Tevez.
 
Hmm sometimes with players offering them a massive signing on fee helps them overlook an offered wage lower than their request. All I can suggest is to keep offering him a contract and see if he lowers his demands OR ask the board for more money for wages?
 
I was going to suggest but that it could be that Bennah's board have limited the wages for an assistant manager to £15k, regardless of the state of the overall wage budget. :(
 
If you get him early enough in the game you can get him very cheap. Leave him for a few seasons and he'll improve loads to the point where his CA is quite high and so the club will want mega-euros for him.

Guys, the kit and face packs from the OP don't work anymore. I'm wanting to patch up the English leagues with both. Can anyone recommend where I can get packs for both?

Thanks

Which links don't work? If the actual link doesn't work, can you still see enough of the link to make out the site to go to?

He has his assistant manager on 20k, as Fulham.
Im Milan, yet cant offer over 14,750!!!!!! lol. :p.

Conclusive proof, if it was ever needed, that Fulham > Milan. Whether AC or Inter I don't know. :p
 
Hmm I think there is a bug in FM08 for the international game points system. Anyone stupid enough to manage Italy instead of England loses 33 points on a random date. SI don't seem to care about fixing this particular bug! :p

Sorted some packs now, well just kits and logos. Don't need facebacks really.

Starting a game with Darlington, any recommendations on free transfers??

I also don't bother with facepacks. I just turn them off in game as the pics take up too much space I think plus I don't want to know how ugly my players are. :p

Plus, and this will sound quite sad/geeky, but I don't like facepacks because not all the pics will be in the same style. Some are portrait like in a passport photo and other are full body pics of a player on a pitch! Keep it consistent PLEASE! :o
