I just finished my first season in 6th place, only 2 point behind Villa in 4th, since i lost the last 2 games

Now for the second season i have signed Barragan and jorge andrade from Deportivo for a total of around 3m as they were in liquidation!
Has anyone had these players in any FM's?

My main Problem in now both Mascherano and Tevez want to leave!!

I am looking at buying a new right/left midfielder and have 3.5m to spend!

Here is my top team

Green
Barragan, Ferdinand, Jorge Andrade, Konchesky
Mascherano
Modric, Etherington
Tevez, Reo Coker
Ashton

Subs:
Olejinik
Billy Jones/spector
Nigel De Jong (altough re-training so does play alot!)
Bowyer/Benayoun/Noble
Harewood/Zamora

I made it to 2 days before the transfer deadline day in the SECOND season before I could buy anybody. This was down to a transfer embargo being placed on me from the first week of the game due to takeover talk. Well it finally happened and I got ten million to spend in 2 days not really enough time as I wanted to sign a right winger and a centre half.....ended up with walcott!! He has started quite well up front with Tevez, has anybody else had success with him?

in the demo, i played west ham.

Players in- Steve McMillian - $1.2mill
Stuart Giddings- 3.2 Mill

Loans In- John O'brien


played 4 at the back, mears and paintsil flying forward overlapping, ferdi and gabbi rooted at the back.

Masch at DM, Rotating with Mullins every 2 games

Reo Coker in the middle, getting forward, but mainly passing to the feet of an AMC Tevez, who's collecting balls from any combo of Benayoun, bowyer, giddlings(any of the fifty wingers west ham seem to have), holding up the ball, taking pot shots from range with absolutely no regard for any of his team mates(when he does pass i have him set to through balls)...

then i rotated dean, teddy, bobby and harewood in the striker. ashton and tevez swap roles every now and again. and when tevez and masch play together and get masch to pass to tevez' feet.

i went on a tour of Australia and Scotland(8 matches plus 5 already fixtured)before i played a competitive match, and by opening day against utd tevez and masch had FINALLY started clicking.

problem i had was when mullins was playing tevez and masch was playing ashton..... but by january i was 5 unbeaten and tevez had hit 8 goals in 10, before carking it with some ligament damage.

play your team wide, slow, a little deep, slightly attacking mentality, counter attack, use playmaker(Mascherano, Mullins, Reo-coker) and Target man(Tevez, Ashton, Teddy), Captain Coker.

Started at West Ham and immediately got knocked out the euro cup.

Bought Modric for 1.4m and started the league quite well got to the coca cola final and got beat by liverpool again!! and the 6th round of the FA cup. Sold Harewood in the transfer window to Wigan for 7m!! Bought Cardenas, Bale & Kaboul to strengthen my defence. Was in the top 4/5 all season and held off Man Utd for the last Champs league spot.

In the Close season I decided I wanted a RB and a Striker and bought Van Den Borre for 3.2m and Bojinov for a mininum release 9.5.....

Team is

GK Green
RB Van Den Borre
LB Konchesky/Bale
CB Ferdinand
CB Kaboul
DM Mascherano
RM Benayoun/Bowyer
LM Etherington
AM Reo-Coker/Modric
ST Ashton/Bojinov
ST Tevez

PS Tevez got shirty at the end of 1st season and wanted to move to a bigger club. I told him that I wanted to make West Ham a big club and he seemed happy and signed a new contract.
