I have had no problem getting bojan when he comes up for free when playing as united he always has the not interested in signing at this time lark but when I offer him a big contract he usually obliges and signs

United. Wasn't interested in rotation but offered him a deal as a key player and he accepted less money and a rotation role at Juve. Too odd.

Peyton Manning

Just do what I do and get him on loan for the first season. You can get him easily on loan then for the second season and by the end of that, if youve treated him nicely, he'll want to join you. Same goes for Iago and Gai Assulin.

does Gai ever develop properly? I've acquired him in about 3 different games now and each time he never reached his full potential....

I don't think his potential is set that high, he's probably a -9.

Mr.Nice Guy

I'm playing as Preston North End in the second season. I got them promoted through the play-offs last season and was tipped for relegation but I'm in 11th place at the moment and should survive. I've been boosting my youth ranks with some quality additions and I'm really enjoying turning an average team into, hopefully anyway, a force to be reckoned with. Here's my first eleven:

---

C. Pantilimon

---

L. Abenzoar---C. Sarghi

---

J. Evans

---

M. Hill

---

H. Nordveidt

---

F. Rajtoral

---

L. Jimenez

---

D. Buonanotte

---

M. Zarate

---

J. Oremo

---

Johan Oremo is a Swedish striker who I saw mentioned on another forum. I only paid a couple of thousand for him but he's bagged ten goals for me (despite not playing the full season). He has something like a 16 for pace and a similar attribute for finishing. One of my best ever purchases. Check him out.

Galvasean

My mighty MVV team:

---

S. Osturk

---

Sestak

---

JJ Mosquera

Farfiani

---

Van Damme

---

Roma

T. Waisapy---R. Van Boxel---J. Toivio---V. Worngooer

---

C. Wijnterp

of course a lot of rotation occurs too.

Pepe LeFrits

Milan:

Neuer, Marcelo, Nesta, Barzagli, Lahm, Pirlo, Veloso, Ben Arfa, Kaka, C. Ronaldo, Benzema

Subs: Dida, Jankulovski, Bonera, Hamsik, Gattuso, Van der Vaart, Pato
Sub subs: Seedorf, Inzaghi, Gourcuff, Ambrosini, Gilardino, Ronaldo, Kaladze

Do I keep them happy? Not really! I'm messing about now, getting a bit bored of FM...

Thanx 4 The Fish

PLayed as the pool obviously but have moved on to the wanderers to see how the seasiders can do, only started but it is a different game to playing as a team with some money to spend and a decent pool of players to pick from.

Fourth season with Middlesbrough:

---

Diego Cavalieri

---

Huth----Mammadou Sakho----Shorey

Now in 5th season with Celtic - team is as follows;

---

Boruc

---

Fagner

---

Hobbs----Breno---Santoconito(sp?)

---

Kaboul

---

---

Rafinha

---

Gelson Fernandes-
Giles Barnes

---

Adu--

---

Lita

---

It's working a treat for me so far both in the league and Europe. I've had total domestic domination but am yet to get past the Champions' League quarter finals so hopefully this is the year. I think success in Europe is the key to me being able to attract international superstars who are otherwise unwilling to move to a Scottish club.

Casillas

Bench: Dudek, Raul, Huntelaar, Diarra, Guti, Cannavaro, Baptista, Van Nistelrooy


Mentality: Attacking
Passing: Mixed/Direct
Passing through the centre. Counter-attack.

I sold Sneider, Drenthe and Robben. Bought Huntelaar in the first season, but he went seriously off form this year. Aguero is an absolute phenomonen, he's got about 20 goals in 13-14 games. My next move is for a defender to replace Heinze. I may move Veloso back there either.

I think you should take a break from FM & take some spelling lessons!! bloody headache tryin to understand your jibberish players.

Jugs82

Derby Co. - Beginning of 2nd Season, 1st Season finished 8th

GK - Lewis Price - value has skyrocketed to 5m, Welsh International, very solid, kicking is suspect though

RWB - Sami Rahmonen - Plays equally well as a MR, Great WB especially going forward, lots of assists

LWB - James McEveley - looking for another option but hes OK

CB - Ignashevic - free transfer at beginning, solid as a rock

CB - Johnny Evans - Signed in Season 2, had on loan in Season 1, avg rat of 7.23 and 5 PRM goals

DM - Marek Suchy - great cheap option for DMC or AM - Giles Barnes - Plays best as AMC tucked in behind ST(depending on who im up against)

CM - David Jones - wasnt sure about him at the start but his value is over 10m now and he scores regularly too

CM - Kasper Haemelinein - Spelling may be wrong - class MC or AMC - Chips in with lots of goals

AML - Mika Aarialto - plays equally well as a ST - Scored 11 PRM goals in season 1 from AML with instruction to move into box

AMR - Gabriel Torje - Unbelievable Amount of assists - AC Milan are after him
now

ST - Bogdan Stancu - Goal Machine - Romanian

Subs

GK - Lehovartka - spelling?? Finnish keeper, great potential, only a sub aas Price is doing so well

ST - Tommy Hoilland - Norwegain, good impact sub, graps a few important goals

AMC, AML - Dzsudiak - Hungarian, Excellent on the left and great at delivery

DMC - Almeida - 34yr old Argentinian, solid DMC, free at the start - Good to have 2 DMC To kill a game off or hold a lead

DLC - Radu - Romanian Def, good in DC & DL - only just signed as cover for Def but hopefully will challenge for a place soon!

Aiming for Champions League this year

Entering into third season having just won the premiership, champions league, fa cup, and league cup. And having gone some 60 games without a loss. Although I have to say I cheated by saving before each match and reloading if I lost ... just for this season, wanted to see if I got any special message for an unbeaten season ... I didn't.

Bought both Jiminez and Marin very cheaply. Jiminez was about 2 million, and is one of my best players.

besty

I'm suprised you don't start Michael Johnson - he always develops very well in the game. Actually, Chelsea just bought him for £27 million in my Man Utd game at the end of the first season.

Cactus Col

I give him a good number of games throughout the year, but with the main formation I'm using I need the defensive midfielders more.

Otherwise I pair Johnson up with Steve Sidwell, who I've found is a bargain from chelsea, and can get him for as little as 2.5 million. Have sold him before for 10+million in one of my games

Pepe LeFrits

Adebayor is ridiculous in my current Arsenal team. 37 goals in 24 games so far this season. I've beaten Man United 7-0 twice in the space of a month and he scored 9 goals over the two games!

Keith C

Starting my 3rd season with newcastle, finished 6th in first eason & 11th in second despite havin pretty good players. Think I need a better keeper

Its taken me 21 years but finally I've created a team that are the best in the land and who have a realistic chance of winning the Champions League. All those years with Barnet, all those times I was tempted to scrap the game and start again, all those sackings (from Man Utd Liverpool Spurs and Newcastle) seem like light years away now. In Chelsea we trust!

GK: De Gall (Conceded 9 goals in 30 matches, enough said)
DL: Navarro (33 but still bombimg up and down that left hand side)
DC: Francisco (Tough as teak but has an annoying tendency to get himself sent off)
DC: Holmes (Solid, solid as a rock)
DR: De Lange (Excellent RB who scores Free Kicks like their penalties)
MC: Moraes (Best midfielder ever, this wee Brazilian legend saved my job!)
MC: Bessa (Attacking midfielder who's gonna be a star)
MC: Wardle (Moraes lite)
AMC: De La Torra (Cracking AMC who scores tonnes of goals)
FC: Ambrosini (Not the quickest ut can score from all angles)
FC: Bertolini (A flyer, and lethal when 1 on 1 with the keeper)

Manager: Pighead( Fantastically astute, great leader and in posession of a massive todger)

Well, Inter, Roma and other great teams.

I do not have some super squad, but I'm proud, because I've obtained the promotion into brazilian second division, where is very hard to arrive from the third league.

This could be a challenge for everyone.
