11 games, 11 wins. Del Piero and Juninho doing very very well. I don't think Trezeguet has played three consecutive matches either. He hasn't suffered a long lay-off yet but he's had niggling injuries here and there. Emerson isn't having the greatest of times on the injury front; he missed a month in pre-season and is now sidelined for three. It's time for Blasi and Tacchinardi to step up.
I'm getting badly done in by most teams these days 
Slipped to 10th in the league after Christmas. I'm playing:
Frey
Ferronetti-Bonera-Montero-Mila
-------------Mascherano-----------
Bresciano-----Pepe--------Gargarov
-------Gilardino------Portioli-------
Second XI
???
Cavagnino-Cannavaro-Demel-Azara
---------------Redondo----------------------
Petrelli--------Morfeo---------Zecchin
---------Morsi----Maccarone------------
My defence is horrendous, even though it shouldn't be. Bonera, Frey, Montero and Mascherano, yet I'm still conceding a lot.
Pepe is finally living up to his stats and is beginning to play extremely well. Gargarov was a great buy and is always doing well.
Gilardino and Bonera want to leave
Portioli lacks consistency, but when he's on fire, he's on fire.
Cannavaro keeps getting injured, Cavagnino is a great backup, Azara is good but a bit slow.
Redondo, I brought in for some experience and he is handy for sure.
Petrelli is almost better than Bresciano, Zecchin is an excellent buy, really causes havoc.
Morsi, a bit crap, Maccarone, always injured, sometimes amazing.
I got a Scottish guy called McGlinchie from Dunfermline, cost me £50k, he's now worth £5.5m
Got 19 acceleration, 20 pace, high finishing, good teamwork and work rate. Other stats a bit crap, but he's 18 and I reckon could cause havoc once he gets into some games.
Got some guy called Volpara also.

In my CL qualifier second leg Emo was injured, Blasi on international duty at the Olympics and Appiah had been sold so Tacchinardi was my only DM. He played a 9 and scored too. His stats are certainly good and I trust him more than I do Blasi but I need to give the latter some games.
Camoranesi is being a biatch and requesting a transfer just because he lost his place to Olivera when he was injured and had to sit on the bench for a couple of games when he returned because Oli was playing well. I rejected his request for now but if he's still unhappy I'll transfer list him after the January market closes. I'm going to need him throughout the remainder of the campaign so he can't leave now.
How much does Joaquin cost?

I mistakenly left out Camo for international call up once, but he refused the recall... he starting to be biatch towards me since...produncin 5/6 performance...even with Juventus
btw..how do u guys sell players?..i desperately want to get rid off cassano but no one is buying even on a cut price 15M of 52M transfer value...

I'm in the final of the Italian Cup and will play against Sampdoria, after I beat AlbinoLeffe in the Semi Final.
SOmehow they managed to beat a few Serie A teams and get to the Semis, and in the first match, they even held me to a 1-1 draw, but when they came to the Delle Alpi, I showed them how the big boys play.

I was also 2-0 down after the first leg of the Champions League 1/8 Finals, losing to Milan at the San Siro. I hate playing Italian teams in the CL. But, at the Delle Alpi I maaged to do just enough to go through to meet Porto in the Quarters. Gianluca scored the most wonderfull goal I have ever seen, dribbling from the right side and shooting from 30 meters out. Fantastic.
