So,yeah, post your teams and how much you paid for your transfers.

Celtic - 2012

GK - Victor - £10m

DR - Onuoha - £3.7m

DL - Figueroa - £3.4m

DC - Yobo - £2.8m

DC - Bassong - £4.5m

DMC - Gago - £3.9m

AMR - Bentley - £4.7m

FC - Obinna - £3.7m

FC - Love - £3.5m

Also have Jenas, who I signed for £2.5m, and a few players who were originally with the club, but I bought the majority of the squad by selling a lot of the deadwood in the team. I was given a £20m budget after saving some money when I had practically already won the league, and qualified for the CL automatically.

[9 to 5]

So, you only play with 10 players in Scotland?

[ONO]

At times you'd think some teams played with less.

[9 to 5]

How the Christ did you get so much money to spend with Celtic? I get you got 20m given but even so, that's a hell of alot of money.

Granted in the first season the board gave me an extra £4m, and again in the second season going into January, so it works out. Although my budget remaining now is a measly £1.8m. They also increased the stadium capacity. And the club finances at the moment are £18m.

[ONO]

Met AC Milan in the CL quarter finals. Put them out. Met Madrid, they beat us 1-0 when we were at home. They scored early on in the away tie. We received a penalty in the 71st minute, and then scored again in the 78th minute, going through to the fucking final on away goals.

EDIT: So, after trying to win the CL with Man City and Fiorentina and always going out in the quarter finals I have managed to win it with Celtic. This has to be my favourite achievement in the history of Football Manager. We won it 5-4 on penalties. We were 2-1 ahead in the 123rd minute and Tevez scored. Karma was restored as Victor saved his penalty. :D

[Guest Jacob]

Dentinho + Dzeko + Lukaku = Goals

Dominating at the moment with Villa

Mulgrew is a vasty underrated left back too.

[Szumi]

I've seen people mention downloading stat updates for the summer and such, and was wondering where I can find these at. If someone can link me up or tell me where to go, would be tres appreciated.

[ONO]

Sortitoutsi.net have updates available.

[Hobo]

Just sold off Chris Smalling (500K to QPR), Roy O'Donovan (345k to Millwall) and Madds 'I haven't started a game in 2 years' Timm (28K to Exeter) and signed Michael Scanlon from Aston Villa. I also got linked to the Sevilla job.

Plus:

[The Future]

Whoa Whoa Whoa, MADS TIMM IS STILL ALIVE?

He was an absolute beast on CM4...I assume he's rubbish now?

[Hobo]

He was alright. The fact he went to Exeter tells you how good he is now.

[TCO]

How the hell can you even get any of those players to come to the Eircom League, nevermind Parkvilla who are an amateur team?

[Hobo]

I used the editor to give them professional status and enough money to make them competitive, but I added one too many zeros and made them the Irish Man City in part because of my terrible ability with numbers. I wanted to make them Eircom League competitive but instead I've made them rich enough to kick everyones ass. It's been kinda fun that way.

[Sam]

I'm playing as Celtic at the moment, second season, dominating the SPL, and into the quarter finals of the Champions League with a match against Manchester United, just drew 1-1 at Old Trafford.

This is probably the most fun I had in FM in a while, the team isn't amazing but it's solid and if you get your tactics right you really can do well against the top European teams. Samaras actually has been a top player alongside a quick striker (I have Hernandez on a year loan from United or Vassel alongside him). Vassel is the best freebie in the game on the new transfer update, he's been top notch in the SPL, Hernandez was on loan with us last season for the second half and he was fantastic in the SPL, this season though he saves his goals for the Champions League which is fine with me. My favourite signing is Seedorf for £350k this January, he won me the first round knockout leg with two man of the match performances.

[ONO]

I will definitely agree there. Vassell is fantastic on a freebie.

In a very bizarre incident my goalkeeper Sorensen has scored. Basically he was standing just outside his box, and kicked the ball. Reina ran out for some reason, and the ball bounced over him and straight into the net. :@

Other reason than being Reina? Do tell!

[nabeel]

Vassell was horrible for my Toronto game No goals in 12 starts and 5 substitute appearances

[ONO]

He tears up the SPL.

[Liam]

Is there a recommended 2010 update with summer transfers updated?
