[CM4,CM0304] Stories thread (the thread formerly known as players needed)

[PSVFOREVER]

I was planning to buy Juan as well, but I chose Zonneveld, I don't use Di Livio anymore, normally I would place him in the reserves, but as a tribute I still have him in first squad with sometimes some playing time. Batistuta seems he can't score much in my game, 6 games and only 2 goals, but still he plays good with ratings of 8 and 9. I'm planning to buy Farnerud, in serie C he didn't want to come, but now he wants to come. I will sign him so he comes at the end of the season, because I now have already Pienaar, Trashorras, Hussaine, Reyad, Bebo and D'Agostino (from Bari, only 200k)At the end of the season Pienaar, Trashorras and Hussaine will leave, but because Hussaine didn't play for Man U he can't get a new contract so I will try to sign him when his contract expires

So far I've got 4 players joining on a free contract due to contract expiry In febuary you can start going for the players that have there contracts expire in June/July.

Eric Djemba-Djemba - Man United
Juan - Arsenal
Gabriel Batistuta - Blackburn Rovers
Stuart Perry - Tranmere Rovers

I plan to add more.

 

[PSVFOREVER]

In January I get Kallstrom, he should make my defense better (he is going to play as a defensive mid tho)

 

[shokz]

Finished mid-table in Serie B.

Signings this summer, 2005.

Andre Marques - Sporting Lisbon // Free - Compensation
Eric Djemba-Djemba - Man United // Free - Contract Expired
Fabio Paim - Sporting Lisbon // Free - Compensation
Gabriel Batistuta - Blackburn Rovers // Free - Contract Expired
John Aloisi - Osasuna // Out of Contract
Juan - Arsenal // Free - Contract Expired
Milan Baros - No Club // Free Agent
Paulo Renato - Sporting Lisbon // Free - Compensation
Stuart Perry - Tranmere Rovers // Free - Contract Expired
Vincenzo Pagano - Cesana // Free - Compensation
Vladimir Labant - No Club // Free Agent

Angelo Di Livio has retired at the end of 2004/05, and I've signed him as a coach.

Brought in aload of young guns here, and some expierience in Batigol.

Milan Baros is a free agent, and I've offered him a contract. Waiting on confirmation of a deal.
-edit- Milan Baros has signed for AC Fiorentina on a 5 year deal at £4.5k a week.

Like I once said before, it doesnt stop there, I'm on a roll, I need to sign more - Not a penny spent so far(Only the compensation for the 3 Sporting Youngsters), yet - The club also still have to give me money for the next season.

How has Runstrom turned out as a player?

Rigano :Bow:, but in my team Le Tallec and Sinama-Pongolle are the killer 2. I tried getting Taffarel on a free, but he wouldnt come for £20K per week

Do you go straight from C2 to C1 or Serie B?

 

[shokz]

The teams who finish top and play-off winner of C2/A + C2/B go up Serie C1/A + C1/B

The League Winners of C1/A + B goto Serie B, same as play-off winners of these 2 divisions. I THINK. Not totally 100% sure. But pretty sure.

Fabio Paim is AMAAAAZING.

@ champdave

Runstrom: pretty sucks and will leave the club in a month.
Rigano: played him the first season, but than he got unhappy because he felt too much competition for places. Result: reserve squad+2 weeks fine

 

[PSVFOREVER]

@ shokz: did you get promoted. I think I will

 

[shokz]

Finished 10th in 2004/05 Serie B.

2005/06 pre-season was good.

I'm through to the next round of the Italian Cup.

But I lost my first Serie B to Empoli 4-1, I dont know how, because I just beat them 1-0 in the Italian Cup, the defence was poor this time.

I'm going to come up with a new remedy.

This season we will challenge for the Serie B title.

 

[PSVFOREVER]

I'm getting promoted I think, 22 games into season 5 points lead

 

[champdave]

How do I view the matches now that I have downloaded them?

I got a few freddy wonder goals as well.

Will post my Serie C/1 team soon and show you a real team

 

[shokz]

I've accepted an offer of £1.5m for Runstrom from Udinese, he'll be joining them in the January transfer window, I plan on making a bid for Kim Kallstrom who has a £2m minimum release fee.

@Champdave, I havent got a clue to be honest, I thought I knew untill I checked.

 

[PSVFOREVER]

Only 2 million clausule?? In my game he had 3.4 he wouldn't join me without a min. fee release clausule, so he has one of 50 million now. BTW I had to pay 2.2 million for him

 

[shokz]

Just think what will happen if they all play for the Brazil Senior side one day, I wont have a team to pick from.

 

[champdave]

You get matches abandoned.

I had Joey Gudjohnsson, Farnerud, Fribrock and Adu on international duty and the match was postponed.

This meant that the matches went 13th -> 1st (can't remember the month) Long rest for the rest!

 

[PSVFOREVER]

that list is nice, maybe I´ll try to buy them all too .

 

[shokz]

I thought I would take note of our profits, just now we had a record attendance in gate receipts of 850k

11 days into December 2005, and we're starting to make a bit of money there, we had a 38k attendance which is a good thing.

only 11th of December, and we've already made a 900k++ profit.

Its a sign of things to come.

P.S

My Job is also hanging on by a thread.

 

[champdave]

My Florentia Viola team to take on Serie C1/B

Still need another decent defender for Traversa, anyone recommend a good cheap'un? (tried getting Traore on loan but he went to PSG)

 

[champdave]

I just got this ex-arsenal player on a free.

Young and talented. (I hope)

that sounded a bit dodgy . . .
