Development Deal

Development Deal (2/12)

  1. We are a worse team now than we were in 09. Barca are the same, really. Not so much stagnating, but, when youre so good at what you do, is it bad to stay at the same level? Fergie keeps saying he learned the lessons of 09, and knows what went wrong. I hope so, even though, for everything Fergie is great at, I wouldnt say tactics are his strongest suit, and hope its more than a simple case of "If Fletch were there, they would have had space to pass and move". Still, its a one off game, on English soil, and Arsenal proved they can be beaten, so, lets hope we can do it.
  2. I was proud of Hernandez a few seasons back, when he managed to clinch his 50th goal on like the last day of the season. This season, Welbeck has put him to shame, with 63 goals in 50 games. Crazy.
  3. If Fletch gets fit, I would have him in there, maybe instead of Carrick. We badly missed Fletcher last time out against them.
  4. Schalke werent great tonight, but I think getting dominated in Germany did as much towards that as any players on the pitch tonight. Another CL final, lets hope we learned the lessons of 09. As to people asking about Scholes as captain, its the same as him with free kicks. He doesnt want it, and its best to stick by his wishes. End of story really.
  5. Up to the 2021/22 season now. Won my 7th Prem in a row. Yet, the thing most likely to make me give up and start a new game, is, every single transfer window, without exception, having to reject offers, always from Spurs, for every single one of my youth prospects. They just will not take the hint. At this point, I would just refuse to sell them any player, ever, out of principle for pissing me off every damn transfer window.
  6. Id go with Thorgan. Hell, he even did the business for my United team for about 5 seasons, as backup for AML and AMC.
  7. Into my 8th season now. Ireland have yet to produce a single youth player of note. My scouts havent recommended a single Irish player with the potential to even develop into a decent Prem player, let alone anything better. Meanwhile, my scouts have recommended 4 potentially world class youths from Sudan. Ireland and England are the only leagues running. My dream of filling my United side with Irish players will never come true. Time to work on filling it just with academy graduates I think.
  8. Yeah, I didnt think it was that many draws, but, thats a lot of draws. I was in such a pissed off hurry to get to a clear out of crap and secure a marquee signing, I didnt pay that much attention to the actual figures.
  9. Yeah, after going to actually check how much I drew, its closer to half my games I finished on 80 points.
  10. Oh yeah, I drew like a quarter of my games Still, unbeaten and in 5th, you wouldnt really think it.
  11. I went an entire season unbeaten, and still finished 5th :S I only managed to keep my job since I won the Prem the previous 2 season. The board, in a move of complete stupidity, went and cancelled a year long project of improving the youth facilities with less than a month left to go. I mean come on, cant have been that much money left to pump in, at that stage all they would have needed was a bloody pair of scissors for a ribbon cutting ceremony.
  12. Have you tried him in a free role? I had much the same problem with Rooney, he just wasnt playing great, so I set him as treqartista, free role. He is everywhere now, scores, creates, and massive match ratings. Cesc, likewise, might not like being tied to a rigid structure, so let him do his own thing.
  13. Well, Sakho is a beast. I havent seen him NOT become world class in any game over like the last 3 versions of FM. I had a horrible run in like that in my United game, too. Man City (Away) they were in 4th, not far behind us. Chelsea (Home) in second and breathing down our necks Chelsea (Wembley) lost that one, no FA Cup for me Barca (Away) Spurs (Home) in 3rd, and very close to us, tight season at the top Barca (Home) Only got 4 points from that, and crashed out of both cups Horrible run.
  14. Villa relegated? in the first season of the game? Man, thats a shock. Either they were terrible or it was a hella competetive year in the PL
  15. I bought Helan from City in my Everton game, turned into a beast as a DL/ML/AML. Ciaran Clarke from Villa would surely be a good shout?
