Not Kevin Phillips, i signed him a few days back and he couldnt hit a barn door ..

Perhaps his partnership with James Keene is bringing out the best for my Norwich side, then. Keene seems to give him he space he needs to basically slot them home.

So does no one play in the Championship, then?

Some good looking signings there. Particularly curious about Cattermole and Aaritalo; Cattermole in particular sounds familiar. Where do they play and who'd they start with?

[BodyByJason]

Aaritalo can play on either wing or upfront, and Cattermole is a right back.

Cattermole came from Shrewsbury and Aaritalo came from Turun Palloseura.

Also, I brought in Nacer Brazite(sp) from Arsenal on loan, he should boost my midfield.

[NMR]

Yeah, You can get Nacer on pernament.

Ill take a look at Duffy, Portsmouth i belive..


Ill take a look at Aaritalo aswell

[NMR]

Damn, Aaritali went to pompey, He looks class aswell

Thought I'd make a post for the mighty Leicester City. Obviously these are my own idea's so use them sparingly.

Leicester City

Wage Budget: £140k
Prediction: 15th
Training: Top facilities

The Team (key players in bold

GK: Jimmy Nielsen / Martin Fulop (loan)
DR: Alan Maybury / James Chambers
DL: Joe Mattock / Clive Clarke
DC: Richard Stearman / Patrik Kisnorbo / Bruno N'Gotty / Darren Kenton

Potential Stars
Goalkeepers: Conrad Logan
Defenders: Joe Mattock, Joe Magunda
Midfielders: Andy King
Strikers: Ashley Chambers, Ricky Sappleton


Transfers IN

All areas of the squad could do with strengthening a bit.
With Clive Clarke ineligible the left flank looks very weak. Try players with a bit of speed, obviously loaning will be the key with players like Kyle Reid and Scott Golbourne available.
Another back-up striker wouldn't be missed, Daniel Sturridge is a great prospect and is wiling to join Leicester on loan.


Transfers OUT

Joe Mattock can be sold for around 200k if you are desperate, however I would recommend keeping hold of him.
There are lots of replacable players like Carl Cort, Mark De Vries, Elvis Hammond, Rab Douglas, Paul Henderson, Sergio Hellings. These are the players who you should look to get off the wage bill.


Tactics

My team seem to be playing superbly with a basic 4-4-2 formation.
GK: Jimmy Nielsen

I'm playing as Southampton. We're rather low on funds (100K transfer fund...), and I've not had much luck selling players, barring Bradley Wright-Phillips, who has a stupid 50% sell on clause, so you only get half the fee...

For some reason, we're predicted to finish 3rd. Last season, we finished 6th, we sold 3 of our best players (Bale, Baird and Jones) and haven't really replaced them, and now we're expected to finish 3rd? What idiot thought of that?

Anyway, I brought in a few loans - Wheater (DC from 'Boro), Nemeth (ST from Liverpool) and Eagles (AMRC from Man Utd) and they seem to be playing reasonably well.

I started a game as Wolves and so far so good. I really had problems in the transfer market tho as I couldnt find anyone to come to me, they kept choosing other clubs!

The team doesnt really have a target man but I didnt bring one in as I already have about 6 strikers. My main concern is the weakness down the left flank. Does anyone know who I could bring in who could do a decent job?
I tried loans for Adam Johnson - rejected me a few times then chose Derby
Lee Martin - nearly had him!...till Bordeaux came in late
Rachid Bouaouzan - rejected my loan
Sergio Peter - rejected for his first team commitment
Chris Eagles - chose Kilmarnock

couldnt really find any ML's with a decent bit of quality to come to me.
