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?

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

Who? Might try and get Vela, Bojan and/or Pato soon-ish.
Scouted Cavani. Got a shot of him in 2011?
He's barely improved on your game compared to mine.
Alessandro Tuia - worth it? Lazio want £2.3m + 40%. I've counter-offered £3m and 25%.

I've still got Pique noob!
Don't need another defender, just wondering if it was worth snapping him on the cheap like.

OK. Will go for him again.
Went for him again. I offered £2.5m and 25% this time and they agreed.
He wants £700 a week and £20k signing on until 2012 (2009 now). Going to see if I can stretch that to 2014.
A friendly request: Anyone with any WORKING links to SS08 kits, could they post them here? I've just played a game with West Ham and I noticed their kits weren't showing up on the Overview page. For some reason there isn't a third shirt file for West Ham in the pack. I've just re-downloaded it and still nothing. So if anyone has any links to an EPL 2008 pack in the SS08 kit style with ALL the home/away/third shirts for ALL the teams I'd be most grateful.
Well I would say it is worth patching but probably not with 8.0.1. 8.0.2 will be out in a few weeks.
Aston Villa want Foster. He's worth £4.4m. Villa enquired and I jokingly said £15m over 24 months with nothing up front. They accepted. Should I sell him? And if so who should I replace him with? Kuszczak has long gone. VDS is out of contract at the end of the season and I won't offer him a new one. Got Hugo Lloris. Got about £8m to spend + Foster's £15m if I sell him so £23 + whatever the board give me to spend.
I've been on the Man Utd thread in the Good Players/Teams forum on the official SI Forums and I've been told Fraga. I think as in Miguel Angel Fraga. Anyone else got him or can tell me what he is like in their game? May 2009 here so anything in 2010 and beyond would be good. Ta muchly.

So I've got the right Fraga yes?
And I've managed to make Aston Villa pay £20m for Foster over 24 months so I may go for Akinfeev. Course I'm happy with Lloris so I don't know if I need to replace him as such. Just need a second keeper.
Already got Lloris.
Will scout Grohe and Pele.
That's what I'm saying. If I get someone like Akinfeev he won't be my backup keeper. But Lloris is doing fine for me so I just want a decent backup keeper.
Got Pele in the end. Sold O'Shea for £5m and might try and get rid of Sergey Ignashevich seeing as I don't use him and can knock £10k off the wage bill.
The fans want Iker Casillas. 
He has a minimum release fee of £117m and Real Madrid wouldn't let him go for less than £65m.
Lloris and Pele it is then.

By the way I've just finished the 2009 season. Was just treading water until the first friendly of the 2009/10 season when I got a really unexpected message. The Czech Republic have offered me the job of managing their international team. Should I take it? My Manchester United revolution is still underway so I won't resign from that job.
Thanks. Fixed.
No wonder they accepted
Thanks. Fixed. Nice. I will scout him and see what he's like here.
Yes I agree with you. I think the Czech Republic have a good team, not a brilliant team but good. So it'll be a nice challenge to get them winning tournaments etc. Will surely also help my international reputation.
It's just so out of the blue and for a decent team as well.

Apologies for the double post. I am wondering if anyone has done any XML work/editing on the graphics?
On the Premier League table page, in the top right of the screen, there is a wavy St George's flag image. I think it looks rubbish. On the top left there is a logo for the Premiership. I've replaced it with one I like the look of.
What I want to do is to copy it to the right of the screen so that it a) gets rid of the St George's flag and b) I have the EPL logo on both sides of the screen.
If anyone has any experience of fiddling around with this, let me know.

Yeah. I think it can be overridden if I have a file for it. I can't find it either so its definitely hardcoded into the game.
I hope I can find a way to override it. It is a similar premise to the graphics, simply forcing the game to use external files.

Yes. I must have scouted him and the fans heard about it. I think there were other news items that were more definite about the fans wanting him but this is the best one I can find.How do you know?.
New item?
