I know you sold a few players, but where did all that money come from. I'm season 1 in march, and been offered new contract but with the news that there will be no transfer kitty, and I don't think i'm gonna make top 4 either (see above).

Tonight: 3-1 Fowler, Zenden, Aurelio (if they play)

Higuain is excellent, but I've bought him more as cover for Bellamy for a year so he can get a few starts and some experience in the reserves as Bellamy has been very hot and cold for me (only scored 2 goals up to Christmas then went on a run of scoring 15 in 13 games afterwards) and Fowler is on his way out (although I won't sell him I am only using him against the lesser teams and to tutor the likes of Lindfield, Sturridge and Millan) physically.

I envisage rotating Kuyt, Higuain, Crouch and Fowler for a season before moving Bellamy and Crouch out, bringing Sturridge up from the reserves and bringing in another forward.

I'm a Carlisle fan LSTB but due to family connections I have a soft spot for Liverpool (was unfortunate enough to be at the Blacburn game a couple of weeks ago), so I always play a Liverpool game before moving onto Carlisle for a bit more of a challenge.

I'm currently looking for a top class central midfielder to rotate in with Alonso, Gerrard and Sissoko as they all played alot of games last season and were getting knackered late season. Peltier is coming along well but he's just not ready yet and Zenden is a) not up to it and b) always injured.

Has anyone else had Bellamy playing really well on their game? Ive read quite a few posts saying he isnt doing to good but for me he was Premiership Top Scorer in my first season with 25 goals, outscoring my other strikers by loads.

Reina been doing well for most of you? Not for me, hes been highly inconsistent in my games and despite me wanting to sell dudek and putting him on transfer from day 1, due to reina's mistakes costing me points, i used dudek and hes been immerse, getting MOMs and 8 and 9s. Hard to get rid of him if he is giving me that kind of performance. I have tried giving reina some runs but he isnt as consistent. How is he doing so well for you guys?

Played terribly for me first half of the season but was absolutely on fire after xmas. Took him a while to strike up a decent partnership with Kuyt but once they did they were unstoppable.

Hes been playin superb always gettin 10s n 9s atm and if it wasnt for him my defence would of conceded soo much more.

I won the Champions League in my first season and the board gave me a 46M budget. I spent all that and won nothing in my 2nd season!

The board then gave me 18M for the 3rd season and I got the rest by selling lots of players.
Felipe got me 9M and Luis Garcia got me 8M

Regarding loaned out players that appear to have gone for good in real life, has anyone had Pongolle or Le Tallec return to their squad after season 1?

I could do with a nippy striker when Bellamy isn't available, and Pongolle appears suited.

Have they gone for good, or do they return??
