The "Look who I bought!" Thread

[myfatcat]

I see what you're saying Doug, but out of 10 defenders in the squad, Clancy is one of the two worst, the other being this guy (on the market so I can post his stats no problem):

The average stats of a defender in the squad currently look like this:

So they have a fair way to go before the get to the right standard.

Considering Clancy has 6 stamina, 6 intel, 6 ball control and 6 cross balls, I think he is just as good as the average defender

Well, he will be when he gets his 8th speed

La Cittas old keeper, picked up for 398k Well pleased. Seriously, my team's had such a turnaround in the last fortnight. I like this one though, especially his 10 experience.

Funny that, since he's still on the market, like...

 

[Shark]

yeah, postponed it for 48 hours

Although I managed to get on fine before the deadline, in fact there was a bidding war. So that sucks. Should get him anyway

For 587 784 GBP - leaves me enough to make some stadium changes too, in preparation for division 1.

And who gives a if he's retires next year - he's still improving in Speed

yeah - you're right paul, maybe randy with 2 more spd balls might squeak it.

i reckon my best possible first team (from a cost strategy point of view) is probably 11 players who are just on the edge of the national squad! No national team players = no 2m pound stars but they're not really worth it!!

That's usually what I end up with anyway The NT player I have was on the cheap anyway.

Quite pleased with my new anchor man Teo, hoping he's not maxed in speed:

 

[Shark]

Bit of a strange choice there moneybags

 

[moneybags]

Prefer this one then?

Very nice - pleasing to find another guy of England fringe quality (ish ) to add to the list. Even though now I'm sort of including guys for the benefit of whoever is manager after me...

Guess I should advertise my player too while I'm here...

Guessing you weren't at the deadline for him Doug, good job since I couldn't have gone any higher...

Though to make up for it I'm odds on for going bankrupt now

might as well

cost me $1.2M... good addition to the D

Right, two more to the team, both foreigners.

Bought for 928k, well happy with this one - he's loads better than that argie i had before him.

Got this guy purely for cheapness, really. He cost 382k and thats value for money! He's been playing well and finally gives my team some solidarity.

 

[moneybags]

yeah, would have like raymundo, but some of us have to work for a living :boohoo:

cojocaru looks nice, almost the same as my pearce morton who scores a lot! not so sure about the cheapo argie

 

[Mutt]

hmmm well

bought this guy for 1.2 million AUD after selling the other guy for 1.5 million, sacrificed age obviously but i dont plan on staying in this game for ever so think i have made a decent purchase just needs to get some form now ;(

 

[moneybags]

Big money but a big player, thanks paul. Almost ready for next season's assault on the epl - just need one more defensive middie and a 10-ball keeper.

 

[rony31]

mad money


BTW Mutt, bad decision on selling that 23yo

 

[Hopeunited]

Yea that 23 yr old is amazing.

 

[Mutt]

that 23 yr old was the slowest training player i have .... he sucked. i dont have the patience to wait and in 6 seasons have a star. btw, i bought him with 1 less passing ball, midway through last year for 500k

 

[Hopeunited]

holy crap Australian market is good! a player like dat for 500k? Wow.
