At the moment i have seperate schedules for

Goalkeepers
Defenders
Defensive Midfielders
Attacking Midfielders
Strikers

How ever some players are not progressing in certain areas while others are and some players moan theres too much training but others are ok.

So is it better to have a seperate schedule for EVERY player????
Instead of all Defenders on 1 schedule all Strikers on another etc etc

Depends on the quality of the squad tbh. However, I've been reading round and it seems that current training could be similar to how it was in at least one version of FM2007, where attributes would hardly fluctuate regardless of the training schedule, which was amended in a later patch. ATM I don't have FM2008 installed due to hardware issues, so can't see how attributes are influenced from training schedules.

Obviously the more specialist schedules you build, the more possibilities you are providing to your playing staff. You don't have to build schedules for every single player, although you could build spin-off schedules that may suit another player that plays in the same position.

Not every player will be satisfied with his schedule for a number of reasons; check out his playing positions to see an alternative schedule that could be used for example. However, some players may be more easily disatisfied due to their nature and personality; don't react to every single player that is unhappy with his schedule since you're in control and should set a schedule that you believe is ideal for the player. Only modify (in most cases, reduce) the overall intensity of the schedule if you feel it is justified because you may not be able to encourage a player's attribute improvements as successfully.

To the ones you have specified above, I separate my defenders into 2, DCs and Full Backs ( because of the different skills needed ) and a seperate one for Wingers as well as for AMC( again because of the differeing ways they play the game )

This gives me 7 and I have found them to be fine for all disciplines.

I had 7 schedules set out like that in FM2007 which I had downloaded. However, I lost all my data from FM2007 and I can't remember how the schedules where set up. What kind of attributes are the most important for each discipline or does anyone know where I could download schedules from?

YOU CAN USE TRAINING SCHEDULES FROM 07 ON THE 08 GAME, JUST SEE IF YOU CAN FIND THE ORIGINAL FILES FOR 07 ON THE INTERNET AND US THEM

I usually have these:
GK
DC
DL/DR
DMC
MC
AMC
AMLR
FC

And also I like to put some players on spesific training schedules. For example, I have an AMC who has good technique and mental attributes but he really lacks physical attributes (all of them are <10). So that's why I made a schedule for him that emphasises on strenght and aerobic training.

Jeztah, does it work having seperate training schedules for individual platers like you mentioned at the end of your post?

Ive been thinking of doing the same with some of my players but i dont know if its worth while.

This is exactly what I have
