  1. Alexis Sanchez, Pogba, Angel Di Maria, Juan Sebastian Veron. I guess Taibi was a big stuff up as well but he didn't cost much so I wouldn't put him in the same class as the others. Then you've got cheaper mistakes like Kleberson and Djemba Djemba.
  2. Football - Manchester United, Adelaide United and Borussia Dortmund NBA - Chicago Bulls NFL - Denver Broncos (used to like the Patriots but excessive cheating did away with that) Cricket - Australia F1 - Ferrari, anyone who beats Hamilton NHL - Boston Bruins MLB - Boston Red Sox Australian rules football - Melbourne Demons Australian rugby league - Melbourne Storm, Queensland (State of Origin)
  3. Spurs are having a blinder of a transfer window.
  4. Good actor. Loved his unscripted moment in the Godfather where he trashes the FBI agent's camera then throws some money on the ground. Have reenacted that moment when I've accidentally broken something lol. Loved him in Elf, too.
  5. A 29 year old Premier League player has been arrested for rape in London.
  6. Finished my 4th season with Dortmund with another league win, however no DFB-Pokal or Champions League win. I went a bit nuts and signed a dozen newgens for the youth and B teams. Moukoko scored 27 in 35(1), Sesko 19 in 31(4), Satriano 19 in 20(8) and Pepi 6 in 12(11). Reyna once again helped out with 12 goals in 35(3) from his central midfield role. Speaking of central midfield - things went to shit in January when Jude Bellingham left for Liverpool for £134M and Weston McKinnie leaving for his £80M release clause to Spurs. So I had to replace two of my starting central midfielders. I pushed Vitinha up to central midfield from his defensive midfield role, where he played well before ending his season early with a broken ankle. Jurrien Timber made the switch from right back to defensive midfield, replacing Vitinha. Ilaix Moriba came in for £86M to fill the other midfield role and Tino Livramento replaced Timber at right back for £89M. As I look ahead to the new season I have £94M in transfer budget and £402K p/w in wage budget that I have no idea what to do with. Perhaps more youth signings as I'm pretty set with my first team.
  7. WWF Attitude was my first real wrestling game love (I had Warzone but didn't play it that much). Then the SmackDown games with their career modes like Here Comes The Pain.
  8. So before my third season with Dortmund started Bayern of course came in and bought Karim Adeyemi for £75M. I did what Dortmund do and replaced him with a Red Bull Salzburg player - Benjamin Sesko. Donyell Malen was also allowed to leave on loan to Atalanta with a £15M fee if he played 25 games (he did). In the January transfer window Nicolas Seiwald was subject to a £40M bid from PSG so went to France, Fausto Vera replaced him for just under £20M. Future transfers for William Saliba and Martin Satriano (both frees) were arranged also in January, while some youngsters came to the club. So I managed to win the Bundesliga again (not unbeaten this time as we lost twice), the DFB-Pokal and the Champions League (against Barcelona). Strikers were again great - Marco Reus 28 in 40(5), Youssoufa Moukoko 24 in 37(6), Ricardo Pepi 21 in 16(12), Benjamin Sesko with 12 in 14(7) (he broke his leg and was out for 4 months, unfortunately). Giovanni Reyna once again was great from midfield with 22 goals in 38(3). So now my focus turns on retaining the league for a threepeat and retaining the Champions League while clubs inevitably come for my best players.
  9. West Ham looking to strengthen their squad and push for top 6.
  10. Second season with Dortmund and we go undefeated in the league and win to knock Bayern off the top. We got knocked out of the Champions League by Ajax in the first knockout round (we won 4-0 then lost 6-1). We got knocked out of the DFB-Pokal in the semi final against Bayern. That made Julian Weigl unhappy as I had to promise him we'd win a domestic trophy in negotiations. So Weigl is off to Bayern for about £30M. So along with the prearranged transfer of Eric Garcia this coming off-season I also have Gavi coming in for £40M, Vitinha (Porto) for £40M as Weigl's replacement and Jong Ajax's Olivier Aertssen for £5M. I still have £10M left and am waiting to see if a few players are going to leave as there's some interest shown in them. For the season my strikers were all pretty great. Adeyemi scored 23 goals in 31 (2). Reus scored 15 in 33. Moukoko scored 12 in 11 (16). Ricardo Pepi scored 9 in 11 (6). And finally Donyell Malen scored 6 in 11 (11). Giovanni Reyna scored 16 in 33 (4) from midfied, and Dan-Axel Zagadou also helped out from centreback with 10 goals in 30 (2) all headers from set pieces. Challenge now will be to see if I can maintain my grip on the Bundesliga trophy and go further in cup competitions.
  11. Playing as Dortmund to try and dethrone Bayern. I'm using a tactic from Zealand that I've been wanting to try out that uses no wingers. January Season 1 lose Akanji to Newcastle and Emre Can to Man City for about £50M each. Bring in Omar Rekik (£21M), Linues Gechter (£22M) and Julian Weigl back to the club for £25M. Go on to finish 2nd 17 points behind Bayern and 17 points ahead of Leverkusen. End of season comes and what I know is going to happen happens - Haaland is sold to City for £160M(!). I go on to sell Julian Brandt (£21.5M), Thorgan Hazard (£11.75M), Roman Burki (£5.25M), Steffen Tigges (£1.6M), Marius Wolf (£6.5M), Thomas Meunier (£3.6M), Axel Witsel (£6.75M), Mahmoud Dahoud (£8.75M) and a few random Dortmund II players. I bring in no less than 13 players to the club. Starting off with Niklas Sule from Bayern for free as is happening in real life. Then I bring in Nicolas Seiwald (£15M), Williot Swedberg (£2.2M), Karim Adeyemi (£22M), Jurrien Timber (£41M), Sonje Hansen (£300K), Fabricio Diaz (£2.5M), Weston McKennie (£22M), Hugo Felix (£3.6M), Andri Lucas Gudjohnsen (£5.5M), Charlie Patino (£14.25M), Lucien Agoume (£9M) and Ricardo Pepi (£21M). I also renewed Renier's loan for another season and I've also arranged a £50M transfer for Eric Garcia from Barcelona for at the end of the season to replace an aging Mats Hummels. I still have about £40M left. So my squad now looks a little like this:- GK - Gregor Kobel / Luca Unbehaun DR - Jurrien Timber / Felix Passlack DC - Mats Hummels / Omar Rekik DC - Niklas Sule / Dan-Axel Zagadou / Linus Gechter DL - Raphael Guerreiro / Nico Schulz DMC - Julian Weigl / Fabricio Diaz MCR - Jude Bellingham / Nicolas Seiwald MC - Giovanni Reyna / Reinier MCL - Weston McKinnie / Mahmoud Dahoud / Lucian Agoume ST - Karim Adeyemi / Youssoufa Moukoko ST - Marcos Reus / Donyell Malen / Ricardo Pepi I don't expect Adeyemi to put up Haaland numbers but if he can get 15-20 goals in the league this first season I'll be happy. Reus played well as a striker last season with 17 goals and 13 assists in 37 matches. I'm still not really expecting to challenge Bayern but I've signed what are arguably the best players that are willing to come to Dortmund so here's to hoping.
  12. Alexandre Lacazette has rejoined Lyon five years after joining Arsenal.
  13. Pogba is officially leaving when his contact expires.
  14. After getting tired with Leicester and Newcastle saves I decided to start a Manchester United save as I don't think I've done one on FM22 yet and I thought the squad would be relatively poor to reflect real life as in my other saves they haven't been very successful. I was wrong. First season done and I've won the league, FA Cup and Champions League. Only had a couple signings (Julian Weigl to play DM, Nico to deputize him, Enzo Le Fee as a future prospect). Ronaldo scored 31 goals and had 9 assists in 39 appearances in all competitions. Edinson Cavani had 36 goals in 45 appearances in all competitions. Maguire and Varane did well in the league with the team keeping 23 clean sheets across the season. So now I'm in two minds about whether to continue this save and try and re-vamp the areas of the squad that are still a touch weak or start something new since I've won it all already.
  15. I just caught it then, thought it was a great start to the season!
  16. Fabrizio has been saying that Kulusevski might not be made permanent this transfer window, instead Spurs will wait until his loan is up at the end of next season to trigger their buy option. He also said the buy option is €35M to be paid in five installments, so they're spacing that fee out as well.
  17. I will be going into this with absolutely no expectations so that I'm not let down. I imagine it'll be a good three or four games before the series starts getting really good.
  18. Ralf Rangnick has been appointed Austria boss as of the end of the season.
  19. Just finished bingeing season 2 of Russian Doll after re-watching season 1. Great tv show, Nadia and Alan are such great characters in their own ways. Can't wait for season 3.
  20. He will stay on in a consultancy role for another 2 years.
  21. I can't pick between the starters. The fire croc maybe just edges it for me.
