Victor Moses is certainly one for the future, just a shame he starts the game at 17 so you have to wait for him to develop. :thup:
Good start thread.

Great buy with Toni Kolehmainen. He's certainly a player who isn't mentioned much on these forums but is still a quality player. You got him even cheaper than I did cos I thought 190k was a bargain!

[retired_nizar1951]

Tanks for the replies. He has been performing quite well for me. I mix it around with him danns and adam at cm with eagles on the right who assists quite alot and michelic but he just got injured and is out for 6 months. I find stancu bad and i play Anichebe with 10 goals in 10 games and morrsion with 7 goals in 9 games. I am currently 2nd with 6 wins 2 draws and 2 losses. Thanks

[retired_nizar1951]

come on people. Post your comments. No offence but QPR are getting mentioned more then teams like Crystal Palace, Cardiff City and even West Bromich Albion just because they got lucky and someone stupidly wanted to invest in a small unknown club. Who were in the relegation zone, then got a new manager and went into the play-offs with a 15 match un beaten run and pottenially had the best youth system in the country with the likes of Tom soares, Ben Watson, Clinton Morrison, John Bostock, Victor Moses, Lee Hills and Sean Scannel all coming through the youth system and representing their country at different levels. And we were team who spotted Ian Wright, we made him and he went off to Arsenal to become their highest every scorer until Thierry Henry past his mark a few season ago. We have one of the most promising goal keepers including Nigel Martyn and Carlo Nash. A great captain who led us to an FA cup final which we lost in the replay after drawing 3-3 with Manchester United. Now i wish i could say that about Queens Park Rangers.

[retired_davidjones]

youth keepers look good too :p

[jammy111]

Hey mattjm,
I playing Southampton in my second season and I am in need of a goalkeeper. I am currently keeping an eye on Preston Edwards but just to be sure, can you get me a screenshot of him in the future?

[retired_keewee98]

[retired_tweetr22]
