I met Chelsea in the 2nd round of the CL league. I lost hope of winning after seeing thier team, including players like:
Totti
Ronaldinho
Rocisky
Lapmard
Mutu
Drogba
Robben
Surprisingly, i won the first leg at home 2-0, both goals by Gilardino. The 2nd leg chelsea were raping me from all sides. eventually, they scored one goal. Minutes later Terry was sent off. Eventhough they were a man down, they were still attacking all the time and got another goal. At that point i though my team was jinxed, and that i would lose whatever happens. But i won on penalties at the end (thanks to the 3 saves made by Frey). I'll face Ajax in the quarters (much easier task than chelsea).

I had the chance to sign both Cassano and Gilardino completely for free, but I decided to pass up on the opportunity. I already have 4 fantastic forwards in Reyes, Tevez, Zlatan and Torres, and a great backup in Nonda, it wasnt worth disrupting the balance. I dont intent to drop any of my current forwards, so there was no place for them i my team.
Surprisingly, noone has signed them yet, they are both without a club.

Cassano is a headache actually, he is really a problem child and the game creators have done a good job with his behavior. Gilardino on the other hand is fantastic. I had them both in my game that I killed. I started last night a new one and I am planning to get Gilardino as soon as possible....of course Trezeguet is to be sold because he brings lots of money.
TBH, from what I've seen Gilardino isnt all that good. he scored like 11 goals for Parma inlike 40 matches, while for me Torres scored like 31 in 27 starts and 5 sub appearances, I can only imagine how many he would have scored had I played him in every match.
There is simply no room for him, I rotate my 4 strikers, and this season 3 out of the 4 (the fourth being Delgado until January, and Reyes from January 1st, but he was cup tied for the CL) scored more than 20 goals, Tevez 25, Zlatan 22, and Torres 31, like I already said. Also, my 5th striker, Nonda scored 13 goals, so there really is no room for Gilardino without disrupting the team balance and my rotation system, and I'm simply not preapared to do that. I expect my first 4 strikers to score at least 20 goals each in the new season, and Nonda at least 5.
P.S. Olivera is great, he scores only 3 goals during the entire season, and then he goes and scores two goals in 3 miutes in the CL Final

I was wondering about Gilardino as well because he's on my shortlist as I'm planning to sell Trez at the end of this season, but his average rating is something like 6.71 and he hasn't scored a lot of goals. This surprised me somewhat because I coached the Italian NT for a while and Gilardino was excellent for me. I played him in tandem with Del Piero and the two couldn't stop scoring. I was planning on reuniting them but Gila's performances with Parma haven't been good.

Just finished my 3rd season with Parma. I won the League for the 2nd time in a row and the Champions League. Gilardino finished the season with 30 goals, top scorer in Seria A.
I'm gonna have to get rid of Crespo, Lopez, and Nihat, in order to make my for my summer arrivals in shape of Miccoli, Torres, Berbatov, and Pazzini.

Del Piero won European Player of the Year and Striker of the Year while Buffon collected the Goalkeeper of the Year award.
Cannavaro is out for the rest of the season and then some (7 months) so I need a new centre back. Fortunately, I'm in January right now, but I dunno who to get. I only have 6m to spend. Asked the board for some more transfer funds but they said no. Any good CBs available for 6m? I'm trying to get Andrea Barzagli who's having a great season with Palermo. Any other suggestions?
