Dear all,

About to start a new game with mates this weekend and Martins has already been targeted by them! (Arsenal)

He's got a release clause of 13.75 mil and i think it's going to be activated.

Who should i buy to replace him if he decides not so sign a new contract?

Do you think he'll leave for Arsenal? (start of game)

Buy Emile Heske

:p

Eddie Johnson (the American one) is supposed to be superb alongside Owen :thup:

buy a target man with good jumping and heading:

Steffan Iversen
Eddie Johnson
Nikola Zigic

pass to head, out owen on forward runs often, and i think you'll do well...

just like Heskey and him for England.

Back to basics then. I'll look at Johnson and Zigic. Never rated Iversen

How much can you get Podolski for at the start?

retired_qwerty

Dun get Podolski, his PPMs suck. Shoots from distance wastes you many many good opportunities. Charles-Andre Doudin is a good cheap buy with decent stats in 1st season and is likely to grow to a leading strike in 2-3 years.

regarding iversen, if you can get him injury free, he's awesome for at least the first season.

I got Huntelaar to replace Martins

Now Im looking for a replacement for Owen as Huntelaar is beating him 3:1 in the goalscoring stakes (he also gets more assists)

How much can you spend?

I like Rodrigo Palacio for his pace, but I've never signed him for less than $10 million
