rarther 17 Report post Posted November 11, 2007 Re: World Champ 1 If anyone with a weak squad wants to spin some money - i have loads of players at sao paulo rated 80-85 who are valued by my chairman at only half their SM value, so if you can offer higher than the unmanaged clubs (ie. above chairman's crappy value) then i will accept. Basically buying them off me is cheaper than free agents! note that this is the fringe players who are TRL, not the main squad! thank you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alvin 321 Report post Posted November 14, 2007 Re: World Champ 1 Manchester city had a dismal run lately but the new manager believes that the club is in a revival process & he intends to own no silverware this season..with an average squad packed with old legs ,the manager is working hard to bring fresh talent to the squad & a budget that is of little help..recent weeks have seen few struggling players leave the squad & new talent added..players like Martin caceres,Francesco Pisano,christian benitez,Cheike Gueye, Emmanuel cerda,kenwyne jones & few others have already moved to city & charles kabore is on his way PS: harry69memic, you have a great squad there...the best I've seen in SM...congrats for your cup win over city Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rarther 17 Report post Posted November 16, 2007 Re: World Champ 1 chelsea had an amazing squad when i joined the setup towards the end of season 1... probably the first manager cheated because in those days you could just take control of another team in the setup and sell all the good players for 10k! that doesnt take anything away from harry though, he must be an excellent manager to be undefeated for 31 games!

Alvin 321 Report post Posted November 16, 2007 Re: World Champ 1 thanks..I'm gonna make a loan request right away...clubs like mine never get to see a 90 rated player in the squad... does anyone know who the previous city manager was??

But chlesea were in debt by 25+ mil But yer my results for last two games havent been great, as Real Madrid is closing the gap . ONce i get out of the Cup ill pretty much be loaning out a lot more players such as Drogba and RVN if chairman allows, so ppl who want those players keep in mind when i get knocked out.

They were in poor shape when I picked them up but are doing well at the moment, top of Div 3 and 10 points ahead of 4th place so am hoping for a 2nd successive promotion. I havent had much money to spend, the club was financially in tatters not so long ago when i picked them up, but here are my season's signings: CB - English WHEATER, David Olympiacos 20 84 £4.2M £1.3M CM/AM - Russian TORBINSKY, Dmitri Olympiacos 23 88 £6.3M £3.7M CB - Moldovian EPUREANU, Alexandu Olympiacos 21 86 £5.3M £2.0M & Haris BUKVA & Romain DANZE CB LnL Brazilian VILSON , Xavier Olympiacos 19 82 £3.1M £125k M LnL Brazilian ROGER , Roberto Olympiacos 21 78 £1.3M £125k RB LnL Turkish MURAT , Kalkan Olympiacos 21 75 £532k £55k CB - Turkish SERVET, Cetin Olympiacos 26 88 £5.7M £4.2M RM LnL Bulgarian OGNYANOV, Anton Olympiacos 19 75 £563k £20k RB/CB LnL Dutch ALTHEER, Jeffrey Olympiacos 20 77 £1.0M £20k CM/RM - German JONES, Jermaine Olympiacos 26 87 £5.1M £1.9M CB LnL French BAYSSE, Paul Olympiacos 19 70 £10k £10k LM/F LnL Congolese MALONGA, Chris Olympiacos 20 74 £351k £250k LB LnL Welsh BASEY, Grant Olympiacos 19 70 £10k £10k RM/CM Int Argentinian VALERI, Diego Olympiacos 21 87 £5.9M 0 & Demba BA & Artem DZYUBA DM/CB LnL Ivorian TIOTE, Cheik Olympiacos 21 82 £3.0M £400k RB/LB - German LELL, Christian Olympiacos 23 87 £5.6M £3.5M & Eric CARRIERE AM/F LnL Belgian LAMAH, Roland Olympiacos 19 84 £4.3M £850k F/W LnL Dutch GEORGE, Leroy Olympiacos 20 82 £3.1M £250k RB LnL Brazilian EDSON , Ramos Olympiacos 21 73 £192k £100k LM LnL Spanish BRUNO, Soriano Olympiacos 23 76 £722k £650k They have all had or will have rating increases soon, so fairly happy with them. All the top class players are bought up really so am having to work from the ground up, which is more fun anyway. As for who can go... well, Nikopolidis, Anatolakis and Konstantinou will probably be the first out the door. They are the only player left from the team I took on, besides Figo, who can also go at the price. In fact, I would consider selling anyone really.

Danny_Williams 1,111 Report post Posted December 29, 2007 Re: World Champ 1 Well i'm Deportivo,picked them up late last season and managed to get them 7th in D2 missing out on promotion.Since then I sold Xabi Alonso for 45 million,Joaquin and Van Bommel and have dominated the league most of the season.On top of that new signings David Odonkor,Lassana Diarra and Rosina haven't been bad either..Also a big factor was the deal for Ronaldo (93) 15 million and Carlos Alberto seemed to be a steal! With 6 games to go it looks like this... 1, Dinamo Moskva 65 points 2,DEPORTIVO 61 points 3,CSKA Moskva 54 points There's no one I really want to sell,but I might sell Rio Ferdinand for a good deal in P/E Good luck to teb in division 2 as its tough! and everyone else involved Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alvin 321 Report post Posted December 29, 2007 Re: World Champ 1 Good job Teb & Danny! City was in a transition phase this season with a lot of players shown the way out & only 3 from the first team have survived...when I took over most of the squad was way above 30 & club was heading to crisis. Most of the talent was already taken & beyond what club can afford .So I had to go for relatively unknown or less hyped players like Cigarini, gueye, Caceres who have all come cheap & drawing attention of some big clubs in real life!..I have couple of signings in mind & a 7 M deal for some midfielder( & that would equal the club record,if the deal gets done!).I'd like to hang on to the young talented fullback Pisano, but might well have to sell him...It's been a satisfactory year, at a respectable 7th in DIV 3 & 3 points behind the fourth..looks like the club is in the right track finally! Transfers IN Luca CIGARINI CM 21 86->87 ? Cheikh GUEYE LB/CB 20 85->86/87 ? Martin CACERES CB 20 86->87? Torres FERNANDO VEGA LB 23 86->87? Andranik TEYMOURIAN CM 24 86->84/85?
