Managed to get Modric for really cheap in my Madrid save as well, despite offering a lot more in the transfer window before. Signed him for ?15m I think and I was prepared to offer ?40m.
 
15 million? :/

I offered 30 million up front with a further 20 or so million in future instalments before the season began. Though what year were you in?
 
It was the start of my 2nd or 3rd season, can't remember which. I went after him every transfer window as well. :p
 


The first thing that I have always done in my two Chelsea saves is to offload Kalou. And ironically, the fans were disappointed with his departure in the game. :lol

Haha. Kalou will be leaving on a free transfer in July 2010 which isn't far away :p. The fans were disappointed when I sold Joe Cole :p. The only 5 players I won't sell are A.Cole, Drogba, Terry , Lampard and Cech. Will wait till they retire and become coach at my club :D.

And after my Transfer ban is over, will try and go for Fabregas :p
 
Gave a good ol' Fist Pump after I got this win! They beat me 2-1 at home and honestly I didn't go out and play over attacking football. Went for 4 defenders, 2 holding midfielders, 3 central midfielders and Moussa Sow up front. We levelled to 1-1 just before half time and I became slightly more attacking and went for my usual formation and we knicked it!



So now the table looks like:


So I now have to beat Zilina and hope Madrid beat Man United for me to qualify, getting a result against Madrid will be an absolute nightmare.
 
This happened to me in my Madrid save. I bid something like 30m in the summer and they rejected, then offered me him for 7m in January!

Did you unsettle him or anything? I did that and just waited for them to offer him to me. :p

Madrid just thrashed United 4-1 at the Bernabeau in my save. :p
 
5 games in 13 days (7 in 20), my squad is in tatters! Doesn't help I only have two wingers + Neymar.

Oh look, Kalou just cost us 3 points against Valencia! :mad

United are pathetic versus Madrid, they turn awesome only if I manage them.:p
 
Won 34 games and drew 4 games in the EPL. Dzeko got the English player of the year award and I got the manager of the year award. Lost to Arsenal in the CL semis, 4-2 and Arsenal went onto win the CL winning the penalties against RM. I won the FA Cup, defeating Man Utd 3-1. Now we face Man Utd again in Community Shield in August. Have a transfer budget of 45m but can't spend a single penny as Chelsea still having a transfer ban :(. As soon as the ban is over in September,2010 will try and buy a player who'll join us in January 11, most probably Fabregas and might sell Essien as well.
 
A game where the referee went bonkers! :facepalm

Only the second time I've been involved in games where there were 3 red cards being dished out!

EDIT: The first one was this.

Just realized something. Both of those games happened when I'm being put in Group E. :lol

Top of the Premier League right now after 15 games with 39 points. Nine points ahead of second place United at the moment. IF nothing goes wrong against the lesser teams, then I should win the league considering I have 4 of the other 5 big teams at home in the second half of the season.

In the Villarreal save, have adjusted the tactics and formation as well as putting up some players for sale. Have raised about 2 million pound by selling a couple of players. Just need to look for some cheap bargains and players to loan from at the moment.
 
I've never seen any player ever disagree with a loan deal of a youngster before. They nearly always say how it'll be good for both club and player.
 
Rafael was in my first team from the first season :p

And his average rating is 7.43 in 83 matches over 2 and a half seasons.
