Whites Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 Colin just told you that you have got £2.3m to spend but you must buy a DR,DL, CB, CM. Realistically who you gonna try and get?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Mosquito Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 Colin just told you that you have got £2.3m to spend but you must buy a DR,DL, CB, CM. Realistically who you gonna try and get?? I'd blow the whole £2.3 million on buying an attacking central midfielder - Chris Eagles from Burnley would be my choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparkyboy72 Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 Why £2.3 million? That was going to be my question, seems like a strange figure to be plucked out the Air? Do you know anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiale Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 Let it all ride on black - then hopefully I'd have £4.6 million..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sargent Pepper Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 I see the forum police are out tonight.... Well Whites i.d go for : LB - MATTOCK (WBA) not sure what they'd want for him as he seems to be surplus at the Hawthorns. Lets say £250 - £500k. Its time for him to rediscover his form and push on, Wigley can help him do that. RB - Zooveloon (sp) (WBA) FREE - Not sure he'd come to us but if you dont ask..... Was quality in the Championship a few years ago. Failing that i'd go for: RB - LITTLE (PBRO) £1MILL Really impressed me in the play offs and has got good reviews all season. In the Spence mold, good young enthusuastic attacking full back. CB - St LEDGER (FREE) A current intenational, not the quickest but reads the game well. Young enough to still develop but still a leader on the pitch AM - NORRIS (FREE) As i've mentioned in other threads i think he would be quality. Yes he's 30 but with such a crucial position we need someone who's been there done it at this level IMO. Norris can play in a 2 or can opperate further forward if we choose to have Cisse sitting deep. Intelligent footballer that will score and create chances but will also put in a shift. So at best we've spent £250 -£500k, at worst we've spent £1.5 mill. Still plenty of cash for Colin to put behind the bar in the DEH for the opening day!

Barrs Court Red Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 I'd recall all the players in for training and neat the soles of their feet so they know who's boss, then spend all the cash on the cream of the talent on offer on the Uzbek league, ensuring a handsome kick back from the agents involved.

Lrrr Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 Billy Jones - free - can cover both RB/LB then use Edwards more often as extra RB cover and allow Jones to play LB with Macca as his cover there. Sean St Ledger - up to £750k region, will be looking to play championship football. Ritchie De Laet - loan - if possible on a season loan, can cover the back 4, spent last year on loan at 3 different championship clubs (sheffield utd, preston and portsmouth) hasn't made a Utd appearance for 2 years at least. Could be worth a go. If not then try for Jack Robinson on loan from Liverpool. CM - Akoz Buzsaky seems the common name on here which wouldn't be a bad thing tbh. will be interesting to see how much QPR spend on their midfield this summer. Lee Williamson of Sheffield Utd usually seems to impress me when we play against him, probably wouldnt take a big fee to get from them either as i imagine he would want to be leaving this summer. Use some of the transfer fee to try and lure Neil Danns if he hasn't already found a club, would be the priority of the three. Just my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 oh right, just looked it up, been away for a few days and hadnt heard about that move, fair enough on mine play De Laet RB and try and get Robinson in on loan as well. Edwards/Ribiero and Macca/Nyntanga act as cover for wing back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I say to Colin, "What does DR, DL, CB and CM mean?" does this mean my future as City manager is limited? I can only hope Colin has never played computer football games....and is as confused as me.

I just wonder sometimes where people get their scouting knowledge from. Obviously we all know about players in the top couple of divs in england but does anyone really watch the scottish football? In my experiencemost people suggest scottish based players because they have found them to be 'good' on FM. As this isn't the case for you, why have you selected these guys?

chipdawg Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 It wasn't. As for St Ledger not being the right man, feel free to offer an alternative Err..... i never said anything about Sean St Ledger, i think he'd be a good signing if available for a reasonable price (i doubt he'll be available on a free as some have intimated) but if we can sign experienced full backs on each side, i.e. Crainey at LB, i'd be tempted to give Wilson a go at centre half with Fontaine rather than sign a new player permanently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
