At The start of the 2009-10 season Jens was 39 and signs where showing of a possible retirement for the former Arsenal No1 but he signed another 1 year deal at Schalke and completed it again, this time helping Schalke to 4th place.Then dawned 2010, Jens had decided to play just one more season for club, then retire after the South African World Cup, where he would play in for his home nation Germany. He completed his final season for club finishing 2nd in the league, and then went to the World Cup where Germany where beaten in the Semi Finals by the surprise winners Croatia.

So basically what you're saying from the other thread is, this is not a story based on any kind of SI games football product?

Tom =) · 10-14-2007, 12:10 PM

No not this one!, if you look lower down you will see one called "Reduilding a Legend"

This one is based on me deleting Arsenal from the database and following the players progress after there time at Arsenal

Wouldn't that crash the game? What do you have against Arsenal :eek:

Tom =) · 10-14-2007, 12:22 PM

Nothing i support them in-fact! :p but it about Arsenal not wanting to be taken over by Usmanov, so i decided to follow the players progress after there time at Arsenal seeing what they would do independantly. I doubt it would happen but, hopefully Usmanov wont takeover anyway
