No sorry.
But now were on the subject;
I've recently started playing and in November of my 1st season with City. Transfer budget about £650,000 and wage budget about £5000. Trying to get Keinan, Parkin and Taiwo out but no one wants them, they wont even terminate their contracts.
So is there anyone I can get in january either on loan or really cheap whos actually good.
Not doing too well at the moment with Kenny out from september till december...

Anyone had good past experience of cheap buys? :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

I signed Jamie Mackie for 1.3 million, obviously you haven't got that cash but TG will step in and stump up the cash.

He done a good job too

Even Hovland, Norwegian international and brilliant centre back. A real steal at something like 650k, still a solid option for me now I'm in the champions league.

Helguson. He is out of budget but TG will help. :D :ayatollah:

Re: FOOTBALL MANAGER 2012

TG never helps...
He allways says that the budget is reasonable and we should be doing great with the amount he's letting me use :roll:

Tell him you feel really strongly about signing Mackie and he should step in

You think TG's bad? Wait until he up and goes if you buy the stadium. Steve Borley is much worse. He never gives me funds to sign players :evil:

What positions do you need and what budget do you have? To replace Kenny, sign Augustin Torassa, he scored 44 goals in 46 games for me, he will cost you around 400k but if you offer to pay in 48 month installments, it doesn't blow your budget. :ayatollah:

Yep, you'll get a new 30 million debt. TG will leave and then Borley will take charge. And Borley is ridiculously tight.

He almost refused me a new contract then as he felt I was on a reasonable amount of money for a manager of my stature. Bearing in mind I signed the last contract when we just avoided relegation and this season I qualified for Champions league.

Not really familiar with the tactics thing yet. But I usually play with Taylor, Turner, Blake and Kev at the back. Just lost 2-0 at home to Derby because of my defenders standing 3-4 yards away from their man. But when I tell them to tightly mark a player its even worse!

I tend to play with a slightly deeper defensive line.

If your defence is your weak point I'd definitely recommend Even Hovland if you can get him.

In the championship I was playing

Naylor, Turner, Hovland, SuperKev/Blake

2 players you must get on loan!! MACHEDA and CAULKER from spurs.
both reserve team players, they were my only 2 aditions in my first season and I won the league and lost in Fa cup final to Arsenal. Fergie retired united came in for me, I stupidly joined them and got sacked before xmas :cry:

Macheda got me 30 goals, and caulker was player of the year. :ayatollah:

Yes. Earnier as a poacher will give you dozens of goals. I got 33 goals from him. Championship.top scorer.

Macheda isigned for 1.8 million in january , he fired me from a top half finish in january to a champions league spot. Stupid agent inserted a ten million buyout claise i couldn't negotiate out so i'm just wishing the transfer window would close.

Darwin Quintero - £1.7m. One of the best strikers on the game and scored 43 goals in 44 league games.
McEachren on loan. James Perch on loan and then sell anyone you don't need.
Also bought Geremi on a free and Sol Campbell as back up.

Few others I can't remember at the moment. But with them I finished 2nd in the league by 8 points.

Re: FOOTBALL MANAGER 2012

Thu Feb 09, 2012 5:10 pm

If I'm strapped for cash I offer no money upfront, and after 50 games offer 5 million, so it's basically a season long loan for free and then you can sell them on for around 2 million the year after
