yer i know but i am with inter and i am signing young guys. they want a fair bit. and inter will on ly let me sign 1 non eu player from overseas and year :(. i signed milligan and i would have gotten banega but they canceled it. so with rule will i be able to get people like skrtel and kewell??

get mauricio from brazil u21 or u23 or u20 some shit like that, or get joao victor who i have at sheffield but chelsea and liverpool both want him from me so hes good. Pretty much just raid EU national teams u23s and stuff, they are cheap good, and in a few years worth millions.

but do they play in the eu?? i cant get anyone outside the eu now. which sucks because i have a list of young guys. and most of them play outside the eu

LOL, i was just offered joel griffiths on a free from newcastle, a lil outta the blue, i accepted cause hes not to bad, hes valued at 700k so i can flog him off and get free dough.

Also after newcastle were relegated 1st season, they won the Championship and a now in the EPL, pity theyve gone into administration though and have been docked 9 points. :lol:

Turned the mo'fo down, wanted 23k pw, pfft, who does he think he is?

And Murchandising feeder clubs. They're heaps good.

You'll be fine with them, they both have EU passports.

"The next Harry Kewell"...that's what mine called him ](*,)

good. and can you make the game faster. like it skips days hen you dont have any mail? because my skips a few hours and then starts up again. takes like 5 continues to get to the next day

so far i have a couple of buys. i have milligan, crosas the barca guy, wahaba guy he plays for roma, he isnt that good. and a few coaches. i also have got flamini on loan and i have just tried for alexandra song. and chelsea have offered 10 mil for maicon and juve has offered 12 mil. i accepted them both. now adriano is going to be unhappy because maicon is one of his favoured personal. and with the money that i get from selling maicon does that go into the transfer budget??

I think when you "continue" it goes forward 6 hours because on the game clock it says, say 22/4 PM or 22/4 AM, may even be 12 hour incriments.

i guess your ones go faster because your computer isnt as slow as mine

how much ram is your comp?

yes, you money from maicon you will be able to spend up until the next season where the board will refresh your funds and nothing from the previous season will be kept.

i have no clue but it is bloody slow

and good because then i will be able to buy good players

okay i had my first game last night. it was a friendly against newcastle. i didnt really care about the result. i lost 1-0 with a goal to james troisi.

i have offered a contract to skertal. the amount i offered to zenit was 5.5 mil or something with 50% of next sale. he was really expensive. i would also have got nashat akram but the stupid eu rule took place and canceled. i got aloisi on a free. probably a bad i dea but o well. i have also offered kewel a contract and i am hoping he accepts. i got a 18 on a free he is called ruben ramos i think. came from some spanish club. athletico madrid i think. and if i hadent say it before i got flamini on a loan and arsenal have just accepted a loan offer for song.

and i have milligan as well. and some papa guy. he was already on loan so i thought i should buy him. and that wahab is another buy i have gained. as well as mollo. he is a good young as monaco player. and i hope i am about to get james mcarthey. aswell and sawyer from chelsea

Is that for inter? What the hell are you trying to achieve, relegation?

yes they seem like bad buys but i havent lost anyone. maicon might go to barca or juve but i have skrtal coming in and julio cruz who i dont like might go to barca. i will have the base of my team with a few buys to help. and most of the guys that i have bought will be playing in under 20 or my reserve team

Edited by chelsearbettathanceltic: 23/4/2008 05:21:03 PM

but theres no point paying a guy 20k a week just to play in your reserves team, or buying a guy who scored a free kick once.

Chelsea would beg to differ.

but he could be a good future buy

If you're planning on winning promotion, that's the way to go.
Have some ambition, you've got bloody Inter's funds to wield!! Sign guys like Pablo, Guardado, Iniesta, Bojan, Giovinco, Alves, Silva, Lulinha, Messi. You're a giv club, you're meant to sign big players! This isnt' like FIFA where you can get away with signing your favourites because you can't control the players now.

my computer stuffed up so i am starting one on the laptop. and i only had 13mil to spend.

Start with a lower league team, i went with sheffield united and now im a bit more knowledgable about the Championship, its also a bit harder than starting with a team thats champions of its country to begin with anyway... like inter.

Yay! promotion, manager of the year, 1st & 3rd goals of the year, top goal scorer, 7 players in team of the year, championship champions.

EDIT

Australia have come third in the world cup in south africa, dispatching spain 4-1 in a penalty shootout in the 3rd place playoff. LOL.

This is what my first team looks like, ive also got some other guys in the ressies.

All you pro FM players should prove your worth at Hattrick. Anyone play it?

hatrick is that fantasy internet onw innit? i have a team but its boring and i never understood it. Im top 30 overall in foxsports EPL fantasy if that counts for anything.

Haha hattrick is slightly better than fOX EPL fantasy. Its a lot closer to something of FM, though its real time so its not for everyone. I played it years ago and just put it in for a team again today. The games are played out as though its FFT website updates (if you get what i mean). Full 90 minute games, you might play twice a week or so. It depends how much of a go you give it for the fun it can be.

It's sorta like xpert XI isn't it?? The players are fictional and you start in a league assigned to you at the start of the season and play for the championship from there up etc.?
Or is it like that other fantasy football thing they advertised a couple of times in FFT?

I made a hattrick team a while ago and it said id have to wait a couple of weeks before i was assigned a league so i just gave up.

Like this cept you its more like division 8 or something. It would take a long time to reach top leagues... After that i think you be voted onto national team duties, etc i think. They have world cup and all that.

Yeah, there's a few games like that, but you can't really make changes like you can in FM, it's less hands on so to speak. I've thought about giving it a go, but can't be arsed most of the time. Perhaps with the new season...

i dont play hattrik but i play online football manager. it is like fm but fm is better
