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.
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.
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!
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 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.
Haha. Kalou will be leaving on a free transfer in July 2010 which isn't far away . The fans were disappointed when I sold Joe Cole . 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 .
And after my Transfer ban is over, will try and go for Fabregas
Did you unsettle him or anything? I did that and just waited for them to offer him to me.

Madrid just thrashed United 4-1 at the Bernabeau in my save.
