any one tried giacomo tedesco from reggina? got him on last day of transfer market for £2m. after 9 matches he has 9.45 rating.
i had only bought him cause nedved got injured on 29th aug. out for 6 months. but he's real good

[rac_box]

first year i sold trezegeut to milan for 21 mil an dbought iaquinta fo 16 mil(he scored more than 60 goals in 2 seasons so far)
first year champ in serie b en the cup
2nd year 3 in serie a en win the uefa cup. bought aquilani en dessena.sold gasbaronni,blasi,tudor, zanetti and chiellini.
now beginning the third season and bought a lot of players like richard, foti(wonderkid), marcelo, sarpong and d'allesandro for free. sold bojinov for 23 mil to roma.
for my incoming transfers, the big one i pay over 24 months lik 30 mil over 24 months for richards.else it wouldn't be possible.
now i play again in delle alpi
others things: kaka to chelsea for 87 mil, tevez 45 mil to lyon
marseille won the CL in the second year against ajax in the final, very unrealistic i think.

i need a keeper, any help?
i have really good defence and had played 19 games without letting in a single goal, including coppa italia gainst chievo. and had won all games.
however in the last 8, i have drawn seven, each 1-1 or 2-2. all goals r long shots, and buffon doesnt save 'em, because he is miles away from bloody goal line. i need a keeper who deosnt rush out, any ideas?

[retired_Cherrieruns]

I seriously dont know why you boys would want to sell buffon, its a crazy idea to do that. Try Vincent Enyeama, he looks quite good, or check out the Brazil U21/23 teams for a good young keeper. Camoranesi is brilliant on the right as well, although I love Nedved and consider him a god-like player, the person above who got him for 4m seems fair enough. I also think that Boumsong has awful stats and I would consider buying Didier Digard who got best signing of the season for me first year with a rating over 7.5. How much you got to spend I'm Me?

Well i finished my second season and am now into my third. Finished fourth, due to lack of squad depth , and iaquinta getting a broken leg! Runners up in The italian cup again, and quarter finals of the Uefa cup (out to Man Utd)

My team is looking alot stronger now, spent almost 40 million on transfers, bringing in senderos, Mikel, Raul Albio and Nani.
Got a great youth player in Paolucci, and i also brought in a great youth striker called Adrian from Deportivo. Sold Van Persie for 13 million to Valencia, as i thought i wouldnt need him up front with Bojinov, Iaquinta, Paolucci and adrian.
My first game shows me that my team is much stronger and i should be able to challenge this year for the title, beating Inter 6-2 in the Super cup!

[retired_donsey55]

Bought Maduro, Vanden Borre and Andreasson for a combined fee of 9 million. Sold a few players as well.

Half way through the season and I am unbeaten so far and top of the league (even with the points deductions) in Jan!

Will have to strengthen considerably next season though if I get promoted, so I am hoping for a lot of money.

[retired_rglovich]

Just finished my first season - champions by 11 points and lost 1-0 over two legs to Inter in the cup semi.

I lost the first game at Piacenza, and was thinking uh-oh, but by mid-season I was 19-1-1 and coasting.

Tactics were 5-3-2 with wingbacks (always Chiellini on the left when fit, Balzaretti when not, Zebina or Birindelli on the right, Birindelli having the advantage of being good cover on the left when needed). GK and DCs pick themselves, for me at least (couldn't sell the Big French Girl until the end of the season, but he never factored in the season as the two big ugly Croats kept their places).

In the midfield, Zanetti played DM pretty much all year, when not fit or suspended put Paro in (I like him as a more classy DM, sometimes played Marchisio as MC though). Nedved on the left, Camoranesi on the right.

If I had my choice, I had ADP as an AMC playmaker with creative freedom, and DT and Bojinov up front. I didn't often have my choice. Both DT and Boj had long-term injuries, so ADP played up front a lot, and both Palladino and Zalayeta saw a lot of action. My only major signing was Kahlenberg, who I intended to be a backup (as he can play all across the AM line) but ended up starting at AMC a lot, and doing well. At £6.75m he turned out to be a bargain.

I was really conservative with signings - apart from Kahlenberg the only signing was Werkhoven, for 90k, because he is a natural in 7 positions. He subbed a lot and did very well.

Most important observation was the importance of great players in key positions. Most especially in goal - Buffon was worth at least20 points, and probably more. Trezeguet - despite injury - scored about a goal a game and ended with 27, only one behind ADP who played all year. Call me crazy, but I simply can't imagine selling either GB or DT and replacing them (even though Arsene was offering or enquiring about DT every week in off-window, and every day during window - but apparently he likes Rosicky and £5m more than he likes DT, so we're both happy). Buffon in particular underlines the huge importance of a good keeper - he literally made one mistake all year, and only scored two 6's, whereas many of the opposition keepers would have been better employed at children's birthday parties.

The top player was ADP - leading scorer in Serie B, leading assists, highest rating and player of the year (not a surprise). Shame I gotta sell him soon because he's getting on. And I almost can't give Nedved away because he's exactly the same age as God. Which makes me cry, because he plays like him. So long, skipper.

So. Serie A will be much harder. I rejected the board's rather pathetic offer of...er...precisely the same contract as I was on this year, and got myself a fat new one. Thanks, Trezeguet, for speaking up for me in the press.

But what I really wanted wasn't 6 times as much money, it was a transfer budget of MORE THAN £550k. Really. But there appears to be no way for me to negotiate that, so I'll just have to request it when the TV money starts rolling. And anyway, of the (frankly bewildering) number of players coming back from loans, I'm sure I can rustle up plenty of money.

Roll on 07-08.

[retired_mohan321321]

I'm in my fourth season now.
1st season: Won Serie B, did awful in Italian Cup
2nd Season: 3rd in Serie A, did awful in Italian Cup
3rd Season: Won Serie A, Won Champions Leauge, did awful in Italian Cup.

So this season the Italian Cup is my target. Btw by the 3rd season finances get so much better Delle Alpi is a godsend. By the end of the 3rd Season my balance was £30m and i got that as a transfer budget so i bought Raul Albiol and Micah Richards because my defence was lacking somewhat.

My Formation
GK - Buffon (DON'T SELL HIM, HE IS A LEGEND AND SAVED MY BEHIND MANY A TIME)
DR - Richards
DL - Billy Jones (Free from Crewe!)
DC - Luizao
DC - Mancienne
DM - Albiol
AMR - Camoranesi/Walcott
AMC - N'Zogbia/Del Piero (Who is just about holding on, he'll be gone next season)
AML - Lacazette/Palladino
FCs - Trez/Saviola/Palladino/Walcott

Also Nedved retired so i hired him as a coach.
20 - Fitness and Mental
17 - Attacking and Technical
He is an official legend

[Snaggle_23]

ok players. its nearing the end of my first season and am on course for promotion.

now, the hawks are sniffing around 20/25 man trez. do i sell (and for how much)...im planning on selling..i think.

who can i get for around 15-20 mil that is awesome. villa just signed a new contract with valencia meaning his release is now £102m so he's out of the picture unless he is available for £20ish. so, who is up to that kind of level. villa/trez etc that i can get and will tear Serie. A to shredz?
