Looking to deal the deal with three Arsenal youngsters. Matthew Connolly is a fantasticly talented (stats wise) central defender. Only costing me £2.5 mil. Also signing Francisco Merida who's £5.5 mil. Quite a bit but he will become really good. And finally Pedro, an 18 year old Brazilian left wing back/full back. All from Arsenal lol.

Emanual Insua and Jimmy Briand deals confirmed as well.

Dan, which team was Guilherme playing for before he came to Dortmund on your game?

 

[Simbazz]

Hang about, I cannot find this Briand fella, where he at?

 

[Jaztheman]

He starts at St.Ettiene(iirc) in France.

Oh and Adam, Guilherme starts at Cruizero.

 

[Themer]

Pedro is a very good player, he's my back up covering all midfield positions and both full back positions.

My coaches believe he'll be as good as Ashley Young so fingers crossed he does.

Just been offered the Chelsea job, Im stunned I have to be honest I only started off with the Sunday League reputaion 3 seasons in Im being offered Chelsea. I think I'm going to decline thought Chelsea are currently 11th after 28 games while I have my Villa team 5th and I've brought in and molded the whole side myself and feel a slight bond with it

 

[Dr. Pepper]

Save it as another file and take the job .

 

[King Pietersen]

Stade Rennais (Y). He's worth signing for about ?10m, but he's nothing more than a back-up striker for me. Scores a good few goals though, and he kept scoring against me in Europe as well, so it made sense to buy him

Just had an incredible encounter with Porto. Last time I played them in the away leg at their place they beat me 5-3. It was time for me to get my revenge as they travelled to my place. I could never of seen what was to come as a thrilling encounter occurred, with us winning 5-4 after being 4-0 up at one stage. They did well to get it back to 4-3 but thanks to a hat-trick from Saviola, we got the victory. Speaking of Saviola, he has been incredible this season. 16 goals in 15 games in the league and 4 in 7 in Europe. On another note we top our group! The group looked like this at the end after Basle surprised Sevilla with a 1-0 win:

1. Blackburn 15
2. Porto 13
3. Sevilla 4
4. Basle 3

It was the best group stage ever as there were many high scoring games such as the games between me and Porto(5-4 and 5-3), Sevilla beating Basle 4-0 and the best result... Blackburn beating Sevilla 6-1 away! It was a dream game as everything went right, D'Agostino made over 90 passes! We're also high flying in the league as after 17 games we are top by a point to Liverpool. It's been a strange campaign so far but we've hit some rich form and hopefully it can continue for a long time to come.

1. Blackburn 42
2. Liverpool 41
3. Chelsea 39
4. Man United 33
5. Portsmouth 31
6. Man City 30

I think Liverpool will get the title this year, with myself hopefully getting second. Oh and on a very very small not, I have signed 18 players that are coming in January...

Lol that is a riduculous amount of players

Reached the end of my 3rd season finishing 6th which I supose wasn't bad but felt I should have done better.
Just been offered the Man Utd job now aswell as Fergies retired, I was very tempted to take it especially with me supporting them but chose against it. I shan't leave Villa unless Im sacked or after I have a year in the Champions League.

I know and nearly all of them are regens. I must say I do love a Scandinavian regen.

So you have now reected Chelsea and United? Congratulations on your loyalty, I could never reect such clubs. Then again I don't know if I would take it as Blackburn are now a force to be reckoned with.

'J' button not working James?

 

[Themer]

Lost to Chelsea first game of the season punishing me for not accepting them. We played utter rubbish and only had 38% pf the possesion theres going to be some changes to say the least.

38% is pretty low. On a possession note, what's the lowest you've seen a side have? I rarely see it go below 40-60.

 

[Jaztheman]

It actually isn't. Neither is a few of the others keys like the numbers, tab, delete, up, down, left, right, insert, home, end, page up, page down, some letters etc.

Time for a new keyboard me think.

The lowest ever I've seen was back on FM 07, I think, I was Man Utd against Burton Albion, they only had 32%. Final score was 4/5-0ish

Beat Newcastle comfortably next so I hope it was just a one off game.
