FM 09!!!!!!!

[DannyW]

You've just read my post above then and decided you clearly wouldnt stand a chance?

Maybe!

[Manny]

Right then. Played a few games, not going too bad, but want some tips.

I want to build a good young side, but also have some players who are good enough for the Premier League straight away. I don't use these (tip) websites because I can't afford to pay a 5-year-old £600m an hour! 

[numberone]

João Moutinho

always buy him scores a lot of goals from midfield for me

Anthony Vanden Borre

very good defender

i will let you know some more i a bit

[Manny]

I actually had an offer for Moutinho accepted but he turned me down.

Went for Alan Smith and surprisingly enough, he's my top goalscorer, 5 in his first 6 games. Can play in midfield and attack so not a bad buy.

Got him for £6m which was good business considering I sold Nolan for £9.5m!

[numberone]

Kerlon    cm/cf

Juir Judt  lm/cm/rm

Carlos Vela  cf

Andrija Kaludjeovic  att/mid  but i put him on the wing he plays better there

[Manny]

Just offered a contract to that Altidore (6) at Villarreal. £3m upfront with £2m over 2 years. Just waiting for him to accept the contract of about £7k a week!

[jordanbwfc11]

Im Man City .. all the moneyy! haha! spent 90m in 1st transfer window .. just at the beginning of january now .. my team:

            Robinho Martins
      Zhirkov Diarra Diego SWP
Rat Kompany/Dunne Richards Srna
                   Asenjo


Defence needs doin .. but ran out of money

[DannyW]

I signed a few great players from France all from recommendations of scouts

First one was Andre-Pierre Gignac who cost me £7mill in my second season and scored 25 goals that season.

Another is Dimitri Payet, Winger who cost me £9mill also in second season and got 12 assists in 30 games.

Best signing though was Mamadou Sakho, bought for just over £10mill and sold to Arsenal just one season later for £25mill, not bad for a 20 year old centre half.

A few others you might wanna look at are Steven Defour from Standard Liege, Michael Johnson at City, Joe Mattock at Leicester and Marquinhos at Palmeiras.

[BoltonMad2oo8]

Like Jordanbwfc11 i went for the money option with city! Spent £120m

------------------------Igor Akinfeev---------------------------
Billy Jones---Steven Taylor---Alexander Lukovic---Gary Borrowdale
Jimmy Bullard---Nicky Bailey---Andrey Arshavin---Simon Vuckevic
--------------Kevin Doyle---Pavel Pogrebnyak-------------------

as well as a lot of backup! Only just started the season, won the first game at Blackburn 3-2. Bullard and Doyle (2) on their debuts.

[Manny]

I'm in the middle of October and already sorted my January signings.

Jozy Altidore - 18 year old striker from Villarreal for £3m, +£2m over 2 years.
Tales - 18 year old AM from Internacional for £1.8m
Paulo Ferreira - £1.2m from Chelsea

Thats my transfer budget and my money from selling Nolan gone with the Smith signing too.

Trying to get Helguson sold but no offers! Just been offered £2m for J O'Brien and sold Ian Walker for £500k!

Only problem is, after a decent start, I can buy a freakin win at the mo!

[jordanbwfc11]

Best signing though was Mamadou Sakho, bought for just over £10mill and sold to Arsenal just one season later for £25mill, not bad for a 20 year old centre half.

[Manny]

Looks like I may be the Harry Houdini of the relegation battle.

After 21 games I was 19th with 11 points. 10 short of survival. In the remaining 17 games I picked up 29 points, finishing with 40 in 15th place, 6 clear of the bottom three.

Amazing what a change of tactics does! I just need my 'wonderkids' to come good now!

[jordanbwfc11]

just started my second season.. team is:

   Robinho Santa Cruz

Zhirkov Diarra Diego Young

Sakho Lescott Richards Srna
               
            Asenjo
