picked him (nakamura) up for £7.5m and the first news item i got was:

.."surge" --nice!

now trying to find a US player to sign, going to have to be someone with a EU passport as i just used up this seasons non-EU spot on nakamura. </BLOCKQUOTE>

did the Milan board force you to sign a high profile player? i think that is a cool edition, especially since it was easy to please them (34 y/o Heinze for £1.5M was considered high profile )

i tried to sign Nakamura on a bosman when pirlo left, but he wasn't a worthwhile signing according to my scouts (none of which knew the asian market... DOH!)

vineela

no they didnt force to me to sign anyone.

oh he's not really ever going to play for me, hes there as a salesman of sorts

I wouldn't bother. I have an american feeder club, so bought a couple of internationals and it had absolutely no affect on my merchandising. Just buying big name players has more benefit.

but this is asia and it has a big effect

i remember when nakamura signed hes first european contract japanese media was all over him covering hes every move like he was beckham

dejasade

yes but it think it helps if the player is caped and has quality also </BLOCKQUOTE>

didn't stop man utd in real life buying rubbish chinese players and shipping them off to beligum on loan

vineela

do you have to keep playing them for the extra revenue to keep coming in?

retired_rosejoey01

i think it's enough if you play them for now and then

retired_GodsMyWitness

yes but it think it helps if the player is caped and has quality also </BLOCKQUOTE>

and how much extra revenue did he generate for ManU? No where near as high as Park Ji Sung I would imagine, and China is a way bigger market than Korea.

I was thinking of doing this with a Japanesse player however, even with all Japanesse players loaded, the scounts find no-one. Not one single player.

Surely there must be at least a few up and coming youngsters.

And yes, my scout has a high knowledge of the area 'cause the ****er keeps getting sent back 'till he finds a player.
