Football Manager 2008.

[entropy13]

Silva and Robinho :shock:

My best attacking options are Pazzini and Montolivo, and they're both with the club already. Vantaggiato's a great find though, I must admit, and Lupoli's really turning out good for Fiorentina.

I (finally) get to sign big-time players just at the start of the 2009-2010 season, Guardado and Gourcuff. Naldo I got to sign at the start, but it's only this season that I finally finished paying Bremen.

Won the second leg against Marseille 2-1 in the CL (Last 16), won 3-1 on aggregate.

anybody got peter becker in their game, i think its a regen, and he is superb in mine.

bojan is also a crazy player, together with saivet

Season 2008-2009 is over and very good results.

Won the premiership with a better goal difference between Pool.
Won the Champions League against Man Utd 0-3 always nice..

CB Toure
CB Richards
LB Clichy
VM Diarra
CM Fabregas
CM Rosicky
LWF Eduardo
ST Adebayor
RWF Vpersie

I am getting furious over here

first season I ended up 4th after a par last third of the season

finals in both doemstic cups, lost both, quarter final CL

MAtiaz Fernandez man he was a god, 24 goals in the league as a midfielder

now I have played 10 games i nthe league and only have 13 points! out of the League Cup, 3 palced in my CL group after Udinese and Valencia

I try differnt formations, bring up everybody from the reserves

I had great signigs IMO

Craig Gordon
Barzaglia
Aguero
Kehl(free)

and yet my team plays pisspoor football, not evne when I manage to win they're good ffs.

I finally after not winnign in 5 straight games I get to tell Gilberto(my captain) that it is time to hold a meeting, fine he does and says it goes well, I revert back to a true and tested 4-4-2, beat reading 2-0 nothing fancy, but when I beat Valencia away 3-0 I feel YES it has turned around, only to lose againt the Spuds and Middlesborough):

 

[gunnerGH]

Its like that a lot this year YeahBee. Im struggling also with Arsenal.

Ive played around 10 games won 5, drawn 1 and lost 4.

I lost away at Bolton. they had 2 shots on target I had 9.

They won 1-0.

Gilberto missed a pen in that game aswel, Meite scored a pen for them!

How unrealistic is that?

When I won 4-2 with Fiorentina against Inter, we had 50 shots on target between us. Frey and Julio Cesar were both quite busy, and all of our players were really tired after the game.

 

[qs]

Got Dani Alves for £16m last night, roll on Jan 1st.

Diaby is unhappy about the competition for places and has requested a transfer twice, both times I've refused. I'm playin gin him at least 2/3s of the games. When will he quit ****ing moaning?

 

[gunnerGH]

how do you guys keep your players happy?

Ive had nothing but moaning off players in my 10 games in charge.

Ive signed Belluschi for 5 mil and thats it.

Diaby moans...
Almunia moans...
Denilson moans...(sent him on loan to Benfica to shut him up)
Even Traore moans sometimes....

At least its realistic in the fact that Ade takes around 5 shots to get 1 on target.

Lupoli, Kroldrup and Pazienza are all unhappy for me as well; but I ignore them, they shut up by themselves after the season anyway. Won the Serie A title just now.

 

[gunnerGH]

do you have a job entropy13?

 

[entropy13]

do you have a job entropy13?

I'm currently a university student, if that's what you mean...And I'm about to sleep, it's almost midnight now over here.

 

[gunnerGH]

Its a difficult one i always play my full strenght squad and if i am corfomtable up front i put in the weaker players but you do that also right?

Season 2008-2009 is great for me! a great start!

17 games played in all whole competitions and won 15 games and 2 draws. on top of the table! so really enjoy it now..

 

[YeahBee]

started a new game

PAgliardi or whatever his name is GK form Fiorentina
Kehl,
Veloso
MAtiaz Fernandez
Pandev

trailing behind Chelski but less games played, soon in January

 

[gunnerGH]

holy ****.....how good is lansbury after a year... awesome

 

[Clrnc]

not bad.

balotelli from inter, doudin, bojan, dean sturridge, saivet, walcott, pato...are world class young strikers

 

[gunnerGH]

balotelli from inter, doudin, bojan, dean sturridge, saivet, walcott, pato...are world class young strikers

I thought dean had retired

 

[Gurgen]

I don't really rate Sturridge, he has very low composure.

 

[HollandGooner]

If you get Vela back from Osasuna and you will give him slowly some time he will be a world class player in the game, Diarra also a very good one to give him slowly minutes if you play with a defending midfielder.

 

[YeahBee]

I have injury problems on my strikers, so Rhys Murhpy has stepped up playwed some decent games, scored in FA, both domestic cups jsut waiting for his first PL goal

Barazite will be a huge plaeyr for me next season I reckon, Hleb and Gallas are disapoiting

Kehl is doing fine at CD and is still jsut competent at that position

it is a crazy league, top 5 teams in January are withon 2 points, I am dragging behind 2 games (6th)but if I win those I will share the nr1, maybe take the lead on scored goals
