Who was your best bargain ever?

[Shindig]

He's 33, I think. I just got Shearer as a player/coach. Aged 35.

 

[Shindig]

Oh, another thing. I've managed to tie Michael Carlos to a £15m minimum release fee. He's a marvellous player that's bound to get spotted by top clubs. I figured his original £500k minimum release fee needed a little boost.

Zidane is 33 in 2006 so hes only 30 now... never knew that.

TROD.

Currently trying to tempt Zidane to Hull. It's 2006, by the way.

We've just been promoted to the First Division.

It should be easy to tempt him to an exciting city like Hull. Why, the beaches alone.....

Yeah, low release fee clauses can be a bitch if not sorted out. I'm currently playing as Plymouth, and nobody will join the club without one (release clause) so I just sign players and then offer them a new contract immediately with slightly higher wages and no release clause. Works about 90 percent of the time with the fools. WAHAHAHA! (evil laugh).

I'm still throwing money at Zidane. He must cave in. Arsenal don't seem to care about him. JOIN US! JOIN US!

minimum fee release clauses are devastating, i mean, how many times are teams caught out by it. Even in real life, Barcelona were caught out thinking "No-one will ever pay 37m for a player! hahahaha" but they did.

same on CM, you buy a player, give him a small fee that makes him happy. the player then goes from reserve player to first team! and starts playing for his country even! you forget to give him a new contract and bam! there goes your star player for 3m. Happens so often.

TROD.

Yeah, it's a bummer alright. I've just today lost Americo to Chelsea as I couldn't talk him out of his clause. Ungrateful bastard! I'm thinking of having him killed.

 

[Shindig]

Damn you, Zidane! SIGN!!!

On the plus side, I've grabbed a young regen from Venezia. Conveniently, he's English. As is this lad in Atlas. Very talented youngsters. Also grabbed a German 19 year-old from Sunderland.

I know everyone will already know this but Maxim Tsigalko. On my game brought him while he was landering on the bench for 1.FC Koln for 4.4m. He would score at least 30 goals in a season, the last season I had him (Before my saved game was murdered!) he scored over 80 goals! I couldn't believe it.

There was also Elder Hadzimehmedovic who I brought at 15 for 1.8m, after a few years of playing him at AMC he was worth 20m and was averaging a scoring rate of 20 a season with 30 assists!

I was actually a little dissapointed with 'Hadzi' given the hype he recieved from some posters. Having said that, I never tried playing him as anything other than an out and out striker.

 

[Tom]

completley agree, ive tried him twice, both times hes been disapointing to say the most.

TROD.

 

[Shindig]

Another one of my Hull attempts to sign a star.......

Javier Zanetti! Played a blinder in Germany 2006 so I'm planning to tempt him with £12k a week.

Zidane is still loyal to Wenger despite being out of contract for a month or so. I sense an early retirement.

 

[Tom]

how old is Zanetti? lol.

TROD.

 

[Shindig]

33, I think. I've got rid of the save file 'cos I was going to format this PC. Can't find a boot disk though.

Well, anyhow...... started a new game in Brazil. Lots of young talents there.

 

[Tom]

the comment you jsut made about the boot disk.. same thing happened to me, i didnt have a PC for a week until i found it. lol

TROD.

Oooooooh, Sheff Wed just snapped up Maldini on a free transfer.
