Alvin 321 Report post Posted February 19, 2008 Re: World Champ 1 Early exit for city from the WC shield…city fielded a weak side resting most of their key players. “It was a tough choice to make…getting into the field & not putting up your best eleven is a hard thing to agree with…but we need to get our priorities right…besides players like Guthrie, De Ceglie , Angel & Edson can’t be kept out for too long …they would’ve fit into most of our lineups last season…it just shows that the squad has got better.. we’ve had few setbacks this season …but we’d still go on with insistence on youth…I’d love to see how some of these players perform in cup games.” Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alvin 321 Report post Posted February 19, 2008 Re: World Champ 1 lol' date=' well i figured since no one will sell me the best brazilians, i will have to get them before they are good... trouble is, no one knows which crappy players will become good, so i just bought all of them:D it has proved a good strategy so far! picked up marcelo, breno, denilson, lucas etc without really knowing anything about them at the time.[/quote'] Hey rarther …just saw you’ve added kanoute to your side …I’ve never seen your first team with someone from outside Brazil…a deviation from club policy should mean that u are really pushing for the title this season…Good luck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rarther 17 Report post Posted February 23, 2008 Re: World Champ 1 hehe well spotted! I have had a few non brazilians over my time, but only as bargaining chips... 99% of managers would prefer £10m + kanoute for their 94 rated brazilian than £10m + the £25m that he cost me!

rarther 17 Report post Posted February 25, 2008 Re: World Champ 1 feel sorry for zenit st peterberg:( they have minus £20m in the bank and only 18 players so they can't sell anyone. augusto fernandez went up to 89 (chairman value 12.4m) and they could have cleared the debt with selling him... but they can't:eek: that club has had about 50 managers since it went into debt:( someone needs to offer them cash + some players Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Had a bit of a rocky start but the team seems to be improving and have crept up to eighth, so still a reasonable chance as four points off the top three and 17 games to go.

rarther 17 Report post Posted May 3, 2008 Re: World Champ 1 Yeah, with hindsight a very bad decision. I get annoyed by having under-90 rated players in my squad who aren't youths so I am easily persuaded to sell them. Looks like he will be 90 soon though! good buy. I see your city are falling at the last hurdles like my sao paulo! uh ohhh... Well if you need to loan any players just request them. My chairman lets anyone under 91 go I think (or could be 90). I notice you could do with a good CF... i have Bobo to loan if interested Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rarther 17 Report post Posted May 8, 2008 * * * F O R S A L E ! ! ! * * * Freddie KANOUTE 94-rated CF, 11 goals in 18 div 1 games (second highest goal efficiency in div 1), top ave performance in my team of 7.89. Plays for Sao Paulo - joint 2nd place in the setup. He is the only foreigner in my Brazil all-star team so I want to sell. I bought him only to trade for quality Brazilians. His transfer ban is now over so if you have players I might want (brazilian 90+) please make an offer! I had him reserved for the barcelona manager who accepted £50m + kanoute for robinho, but then he left the team and it collapsed! DOH! So now it's your opportunity to take him... 90+ brazilians a distinct advantage in any bid, cash not desired but will consider offers, strictly no foreign player swap offers as that's the reason i want to sell him in the first place:rolleyes: If you think your offer is not that good then don't bother offering as I will think so too!

Am currently managing Lyon - have neglected them a bit this year so only sitting a few places above relegation, need to sort the squad out a bit really - inherited it towards end of last season and most players have declined in any rating changes so the teams worsening with time!

Memic has stated he will have a scotch with the new winning manager before the new season starts. Chelsea who struggled at the start due to Memic's absence for family reasons, were just too far behind to catch up to the title fight. Chelsea will be reconstructing their team to fight for the title and stregthen their squad. Defence and Midfield are the main areas Memic will be focusing at. Maybe Cheslea were just missing some fresh Brazillian blood. Surely Sao Paulo if they want to retain the title will have to fight for it even harder Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
