i bought Raul Albiol and Micah Richards because my defence was lacking somewhat.
how much did these beasts cost you? </BLOCKQUOTE>
Micah Richards was 17m and Raul Albiol was 12.25m quite a lot but...definitely worth it maybe more so for Raul Albiol. In my 5th season now with a 25m transfer budget.

half way through the season with juve, just gone the xmas break! still in the cup- beat palermo in the quarter finals. won nearly every game, couple of draws and a loss to rimini?? spelling! my bogey team!
very attacking 442 team is buffon(legend_- lost without him) in goal, chiellini(wicked!), zebina fullbacks, kovac and tudor in the middle, don't play bomsoung he's woeful! in midfield cammoransi on the right, del piero on the left, nedved and de ridder in the middle, trez and bojniov up front.
del piero and nedved get injured quite a bit and if tez is out for 5months like in mine play pallindo(?) up front or wide left instead of del piero as he's amazing in either role! he's currently pushing bojinov out the team because of his goals.
you can easily go the first season without buying anyone but i hate playing DM's in midfileld and juve seemed to have tons of them so got de ridder for 4million he's class at the moment 5 man of matches and weighs in with the goals! if i'm short i will play zanetti but only if everyones injured. zalayeta is also good from the reserves when trez is injured but his goals have since dried up. as i speak chelsea are after my DL but i've fended off their attempts untill the board decided 5.2million was good an offer to turn down(what! i wanted at least 10million for him!)
lucky ive got cover til the end of the season.
also good tip is to give high earners less money especially those who aren't playing first team. camronasi will probably ask for more money sooner or later as his performances earn praise from everyone in the world! a game doesn't go by without vialli or someone saying he's quality so i gave him £24k a week and he was happy.
looking forward to next season in serie A as i think i'll be top in a couple of games, only 6 pts of the top in 7th place at the moment and goal diff is =+50 so think i'm gonna romp to victory and then win the cup. then i can spend my budget on cover and sell my rubbish DM's ready for next season.easy!

Me again
So i finished my third season with treble as i promised and im really happy about that. A have beaten the likes of Man U and Milan in CL. And the key to the success had two names - Nani(buy him at any price hes worth every penny or euro cent) and Buffon.
In the January transfer window i have bought Salomon Kalou from Roma for 18.5M(i know this is much but i needed AMR and he was the only availible). And libidoluxuria how the $$$$ did you get Mascherano?! I got a 37M bid rejected for him even after West Ham were relegated.
So for my fourth season i didnt buy much players as have a good squad. Here are my buys:
Fred:free
Alan Smith:free
Theo Walcott:free
Steven Gerrard:43M
Gianluca Zambrotta:17.5M
So thats all. I know that Zambro is 32 years old and its insanity to spend so much on such a player, but i think he could play for about 3 years and also hes my favourite player after Buffon. Gerrard is also one of my favourite players and im happy to have signed him for such a low value Hes 29 and has about 5 years ahead of him. I tried to sign Mascherano but West Ham rejected me as i said above. After that the B A S T A R D Carlo Ancelotti $$$$ed me up. He sold Barzagli to Liverpool for 8.5M and rejected my 20M bid because of our bad relationship. Also rejected a 53M bid for Essien. So i hope he will get sacked soon
So far in the new season i have won the two supercups(The Italian and the European one)
Gerrard was magnificent in the two games.
I got bored to play about week ago, but now im starting to enjoy the game really.

Macherano was very cheap: 10 M € (about 7 M £ I think).
I never buy big price players! I wait until something happens! Macherano was playing crap and made in place to West Ham bench! Everyone was speaking about his form! In that situation I send my scout to see how much they would ask for him! Surpride!
In the same way bought Sissoko for 6.5 M €.
nani I don't know why for 10 M €.
In my 4th season and about to give up the game! It's my worst experience! A better team than last year and lousy results! Thing I'm gonna start with West Ham!

In my fourth season now, 3rd season finished well, won the italian cup, and 2nd in the league, so this should be the season where i win the league and hopefully improve on champions league place (knocked out in second round last season )
Last season Bojinov was best buy (1 million) and John Obi Mikel for 3 million was runner up (definitely reccommend him, as chelsea seem to just leave him rotting)
Iaquinta won italian player of the year, mikel won foreign player of the year.
This transfer window was looking for a right winger to replace camoranesi for future, tried and failed, but eventually brought in dani alves for Full back and retrained Nani to be a right winger. Though has anyone else ever bought dani alves as his performances havnt been that amazing so far.

Wond serie B (naturally) in my first season, thanks to loans, stealing youth players and some desparate penny pinching (I had an injury crisis in early january, so i loaned every youth player from arsenal and Chelsea to bolster my midfield and defence, I also stole Slavkovski from inter by bidding just before he turns professional, and he accepted. Good thing too, as he ended up scoring 10 goals for me in 15 appearances (10 subs, 5 starts)). The second season wasn't so bad, I sold some dead weights like Miccoli and Guzman (who never played for me, as I thought he was too rubbish), and loaned lots of players (including Mancienne, Diarra and Kalou for free!!!!!!!!!). I had huge offers for Trezegol, Buffon, Pinturicchio and Pavelchik, but I would never sell them. Ever. Even though nedved is almost permanently on the bench, I have too much affection for the players who stayed on through the Serie B (except for Boumsong, because he really is too poor). Second Season saw me win the league on Goal difference, due to Inter having a poor start but catching up at the end. I lost the Uefa cup to Valencia, but the money helped.
If you're starting the second season, don't worry about strikers!!! Rey Volpato and Michele Paolucci are bloody good, Palladino (as you should already know) can cover, and there's a suy called sebastian Giovinco who is acceptable. the midfield and wings are tricky, but Camoranesi can still perform, Nedved is good backup and Gasbaroni is actually quite skilled at passing.
