i really need a good cb, preferably cheap and an AM thanks

also has any 1 bought giussepe rossi? is he good?
naah. my scouts tell me he'll be a quality signing, but i already got too many AMC's. besides, i got Giovinco who plays in teh same position and is really good!

btw, i need a goo CB too... i sold Mellberg after only a few appearances in the last season. i dont really like him. i wanna sign Breno, but Bayern is asking TOO much. like $52m... though my transfer budget os $117m! :D

Rossi is excellent as a forward, bangs in loads of goals. my team (liverpool 2012):

Ustari
Angulo-Richards-Zapata-Marcelo
-------------Alonso--------------
----Gerrard-----Matias Fernandes
Aguero---------------------Juan Mata
-------------Torres------------


subs: Rossi, Rost, Sidnei, Mascherano, Lucas, Damien le Tallec, etc



ridiculously good squad, winning EPL, CL, League Cup, FA Cup and World CC was rather easy. not too many huge signings, but bought loads of young Spanish, Argentinian and Brazilian players for cheap and developed them.

You're team looks like English Inter.

ouch!


i'd agree, but except for aguero, i found all the players and developed them myself. i have some excellent young english players, but just like the real world, they're usually too expensive :( so i built scouting networks in other countries, bought young and developed the players through "work permit" clubs like levski. unlike inter, who simply buy the best players, or try to. plus, i'm a lot more successful!

That's what I end up doing, but I usually try to get the English lads by getting top English scouts.

hmm, should have done that.

i went and bought scouts from milan, barca, and arsenal :D
and i gave the game back to my friend, have to get something done eventually. but it was rather sad to have so few englishmen in the l'pool team. then again, i'm stuck in the mentality that english kids have no technique, and my team was based on quick passing, so i just bought technical players, without thinking that of course i could buy young englishmen and train them myself. how young do you go? (that sounded kinky...)

generally 15 or 16 so I can mold them.
