Cheers. I'm getting there slowly :) Dammit, my team is having problems. 1-1 draw to Brescia, 1-0 loss to Bari, struggling against some crappers in UEFA. Just a temporary loss of form surely. And Legro idiot getting sent off and messing me up badly. :(

We need a partner for Emo who is defensive. Emo likes to go forward too, so if it was him and Neddy in midfield, our poor old defence would be screwed.

God help us, not Panucci please. I personally think Chiellini will be used in a swap, or a loan. I don't see us hanging onto him considering the current attitude being that of buying old players and ditching young ones. However, for what we paid for him, we better get someone good in return.

Loans are a waste of time and money.

I think he's 28/29, that gives him three seasons hopefully. He is a rock, he's not slow either. And is very strong indeed. I hope he could adjust. Face it, apart from Cannavaro, we are almost out of options at centre back. Oddo, I think is 28, so that's not terribly old, and I think Oddo at...

Maybe Roma should be made to take Napoli's place...

I think I need to get with the programme and convert to Euros :D What is it now, about £1 = €1.5 ? I just beat Salzburg 11-0 on aggregate in UEFA Cup 1st Round. 2nd in Serie A. Inter top and are in great form. Roma are worrying me with their attacking options; Totti, Cassano, Santa...

Yeah, Gonzalo is usually one I go for after a few seasons (because of the EU signing rule). In some games he is like you said (those 3 attributes are the main ones for defenders I reckon, but they can be useless without Anticipation, Positioning and Teamwork). However, sometimes his speed is...

Well I have the money which I'll probably never have again. I want a decent DM, so why not? I can't wait because his sale value will just rise and rise, so I need to get him now. Besides, my £50m transfer funds will be swallowed up by the board if I don't spend it by the end of the season, and...

A very entertaining match, what was best was seeing all the young players get a game and make it very exciting. Just made me think, at Juve most of these players would be loaned/sold in exchange for age 30+ players :down:

De Rossi's transfer has been arranged for 1st January 2007 for £52m.

In that case, I wish I was in your game! I have £46m transfer budget left. Sold Appiah to Real Madrid for £29m, I couldn't refuse really. I play two DMs, and my first choice are now Blasi-Tachi partnership. Replacement is Tudor. If pushed, I can play Demichelis at DM, but I specifically...

Does it really help having tons of Physios?

Arsenal have put in a £7.5m bid. River are giving it serious consideration. We won't get Mascherano, but he's not a big target anyway. Why would we need another DM? Well, to replace crap-tach maybe, but we all know Moggi would send Mascherano on 4 seasons worth of loans, and then sell him anyway.

OK, it's bad to miss out on Mutu, but it was only a loan anyway! Personally I'd see it as a temporary solution. We'd all then hope for a permanent forward to sign next season, which would leave us in the same situation again. Sorry, but I don't like Juve taking players on loan. So our options...

The problem is that the game has failed to adjust to the reality of the football world. Valencia would probably sell Aimar for £30m max in real life. Trez for £120m?! We all know that's just stupid. The transfer market has been in this way for a while now and I think CM/FM needs to adjust.

Damn, Man Utd want £120m for Tevez. Somehow, I think not :( Mind you, before I took over, Juve wanted £120m for Trez :eek:

You can't ignore the Pixies. Surfer Rosa or Doolittle would have to be in, or near, the top 10.

Don Bes, Wages are some of the toughest things to manage. Maybe not with Juve, but with the smaller clubs they are. That's why I think there's no point in people just playing CM with their favourite big team. You miss a huge amount of the strategy that is involved in managing smaller clubs...

Yeah, but I played like that last season and it was not too successful. I always want to progress to a 3 man defence, and then switch back if absolutely necessary.
