Yeah has lost its spark when promoted, lol.

You easily could have sold Russell for 1M

I know, but at the time I was trying to get a bunch of decent youngsters in and due to my lack of finances was unable to. Went a bit sour when the clubs then started rejecting bids they had earlier been willing to negotiate on .

Yeah has lost its spark when promoted, lol.

I'm looking forward to trying to keep them up! (Without Bojan )

 

[syke]

Bojan has been terrible for me. Averaging 6.5 and 4 goals in 23-24 games (scored 4 in first 3 games...)

I want to try and keep them up, but I will save that start to the season until the weekend

Until the weekend ! onwards with my Sheffield Wednesday new season

I can see this happening to me as well. I'm doing OK so far. I expect I'll be promoted but the Prem is going to drive me mad; it's been frustrating enough as it is. I'm pining for my super Barca save

 

[utajoker]

im in the market for a attacking midfielder for wigan, budget up to about 6 or 7 mill. any suggestions?

 

[syke]

Luis Jimenez, Fernandinho, Assulin, Matias Fernandez?

 

[Shamikebab]

Van De Vaart? Normally on the transfer list somewhere.

IM strugglying to get mine off the ground with loads of Uni work and testing the 9.3 beta, might be able to get some play time in by the end of the week

Like syke said. Assulin develops into a very good player. He stats don't look much but he handles himself very well.

Assuming you can get him to join Wigan from Barca

 

[Shamikebab]

I think Assulin is a better winger than AMC though in my experience. WOuld rather have Wijnaldum as an AMC.

Norwich are boring the pants off me

Whenever i've played him, always plays AMC better than anywhere else. Starts off very average though, gets a hell of a lot better, and fast.

 

[utajoker]

im struggling to sign anyone decent with wigan, everyone says there just not interested

 

[Huddy]

I think we get 9.03 patch at the end of this month. As much as I try to enjoy this game watching my defenders run away from a ball to allow the a free shot frankly makes me want to pull my hair out.

 

[utajoker]

any tips on signing people?

Heh. Crosspost from SI Games forum:

 

[Shamikebab]

brilliant

 

[MarcLister]

Yes. Goes some way for syke to repay the abuse he forced upon my eyes last night.

Managed to score a goal like that once on FM.

 

[syke]

Thank god.
