I'm starting my first season on this game and have about ten days until the transfer window closes. I already purchased Ivanovic for 10 million Euros, and I only have 5 million left for the transfer budget. I've agreed fees for Modric and Hamsik, but the stupid board won't allocate any more money for me to make the purchases.

Is there any way to throw some funds around and get these guys? Other than selling players, of course.

Here's what I'm hoping my side will look like in 2009:

Buffon

Ivanovic - Andrade - Chiellini - De Ceglie

Tiago - Nocerino - Hamsick

Modric - Giovinco

Trezeguet

Make a budget adjustment and use some of your wage budget for transfer fees.

    Def zonal, it allows the back line to stay in their normal formation and not get all out of order, if you man mark, a lot of times someone who is a cb will end up runing into the midfield instead of staying back.

    Do what is said below or take over someone like Chelsea and buy some clown on your team who is worth 10,000E for 65M....

    Yes, and sell players not needed like Olivera.
    Yea, do both of those, but what you should do is what Aberdeen man said, you do that by going to home>board room>budget adjustment.

    Word up. I'll try all of those.

    And in regards to Olivera I'm using him in the deal to buy Hamsik, but I still have to pay the full price. How well do the player exchanges work in the game?

    pretty crap Andy. Unless Olivera has his potential to 5 stars, then it's unlikely. But give it a try, you might never know...
    I also tried to give Marchionni to Celtic plus cash for Modric who somehow ended up there, but then they rejected the offer and actually increased the price on Modric. :lol2:

    do you guys concede at least a goal a game? every single game i play, i always concede first and then have to come from behind to win. it doesn't whic formation i play, i must concede at least one goal. so i play attacking formations so i can come back as soon as possible.
