Danny Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 So I showed interest in Eden Hazard but Chelsea wouldn't sell, a week or so later Hazard has forced his way onto the the transfer list and he's now an Arsenal player.

Administrator Stan Posted April 17, 2017 Administrator Share Posted April 17, 2017 sometimes this game frustrates me. but at other times, I fucking love it. my striker who has scored 144 goals in 191 appearances for me, across 9 seasons, has decided to end his international career at the ripe age of 29 .

Smiley Culture Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Celtic Football Club - Summer Transfers 2017 In Graeame Shinnie - (Aberdeen, £750,000) - I wanted a Scottish left-back and someone with a bit more experience than Kieran Tierney for the Champions League squad registrations and being able to get a player of Shinnie's ability for a six-figure fee, whilst weakening one of our biggest rivals was nice too. Allan Campbell - (Motherwell, £100,000) - An 18 year-old with potential according to my scouts and Director of Football so grabbing him for such a small fee was nice. Danny Da Costa (Bayer Leverkusen, £1,200,000) - 24 years-old and on the transfer list at Leverkusen so was well worth taking a punt on. He was also rated as good as Mikael Lustig but is five years his junior so a simple addition. Vincent Janssen (Tottenham Hostpur, Loan) - I needed a fourth striker and the list of available players for loan was much better than the previous summer's and Janssen should do enough for me despite a poor first year at Spurs. Benoit Costil (Stade Rennais, Free) - Not confident in Craig Gordon's ability to stay fit or play at the level required, I started looking for a keeper six months before the end of the season and Costil's name kept coming up from my scouts. At 29, he's not the youngest but his stats completely outweighed Gordon's and it was a natural choice to offer Costil a deal after his contract ended at Stade Rennais. Macauley Gillesphey (Newcastle United, Free) - His contract ended at Newcastle and I was made aware of his availability by my scouts and though not the finished article, he's a player with potential and hopefully he can reach that here. Kenedy (Chelsea, Loan) - Patrick Roberts was good for us and he did become available again but I thought we could do better and Kenedy chose us over Swansea, Bournemouth and Hull. Out Kris Commons and Emilio Izaguirre (Released) - Commons didn't feature at all for me and spent the second half of the season at Hibs on loan and Izaguirre wanted more first team football, his ability was declining and I wanted a younger alternative. Mikael Lustig (Marseille, £1,000,000) - He got the hump after becoming second fiddle to Christian Gamboa and started trying to cause problems within the club. Marseille come in and took him off my hands. Dedryck Boyata (Utrecht, £100,000) - He was behind Ben Yousseff, Sviatchenko, Smith and Eoghan O'Connell so I kept dropping his asking price till finally someone took him off my hands. Allan Campbell (Motherwell, Loan) - Wanting Campbell to get game time I put his name out there and the team we signed him from, Motherwell, came back in for him and made a very good case for taking him back. Ryan Christie (Hearts, £1,000,000) - After his loan at Aberdeen, I didn't have a place for him and offered him around, he bizarrely chose Hearts over Leeds. Saidy Janko (Panathanaikos, £500,000) - Deadwood, not a lot to say here. Scott Brown (Fiorentina, £500,000) - Arguably our biggest departure. Don't get me wrong, I like Brown but at the same time he was a liability that picked up too many cards (18 yellow, 2 red), missed too many games through suspension and meant I had to watch him like a hawk and often use a sub getting him off when he teetered on the edge of disaster and with that combined with his age and the number of good, younger centre midfielders I had, Brown had to go. He had his suitors but chose Florence and Serie A over a number of moves across the globe. Jozo Simunovic (Getafe, £2,000,000) - Jozo was good for us but nothing more and with four good centre halves at the club in Ben Yousseff, Sviatchenko and O'Connell, I had no place for him and managed to get a good fee for him. Nadir Ciftci (PAOK, £750,000) - I thought about keeping him, I really did but his stats weren't as good as I wanted and there were teams interested in him after his loan spell in Poland. Macauley Gillesphey (Hibernian, Loan) - Needs games and Hibs offered a good opportunity. So, a big summer at Parkhead. The list of departures have had some players with fantastic, trophy laden spells at Celtic but it's time for change and we had to move on and are now attempting to create new history with a new batch of players.

Guest Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I've been extremely busy as of late but I've now got some time to play FM. I started a save with Juan Aurich de Chiclayo. Basically my aim is to win the Copa Libertadores with only youth academy products. I can make a maximum of 2 signings per window and the whole team must be Peruvian.

I find it hard to start multiple ones. always interests me where ex-players or current managers get to when you're this far down the game. Gary Rowett - Arsenal Fernando Hierro - Wolves Zinedine Zidane - Leverkusen Jurgen Klinsmann - Frankfurt Erlenbruch (German 2nd Division) Bacary Sagna - Fulham Sinisa Mihajlovic - Hull Jermain Defoe - Coventry Lucas Leiva - Birmingham Tim Howard - Dover Romelu Lukaku - Scunthorpe They're all ones that stand out as managers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sassuolo came in 4th a season later. Genoa, Barin & Torino came in 4th, 5th & 6th respectively in 2035/36. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Huge win away to Sporting Cristal, the best team in the league. The quality of footballing level between us 2 is massive, but I took advantage of Jair Cespedes' side. With 10 positioning, I knew it was there for the taking. I'm using my Boca Juniors tactic YET AGAIN, but I switched it over to a right winger for this one just to take advantage of that side. Funnily enough though, that wasn't what won me the game. Defending won us it. Cespedes got a 7.0. I switched the fullbacks over to support while moving further forward and it worked wonders. Renzo Sheput topped it off with a lovely free kick against his former club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 As much as I'd love to carry on I only started the Arsenal file to try and find my feet with the game, so for now I'm going to start a new one in the Championship with Barnsley. They have some money, not a lot but enough to try and play around with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 So I spent a bit of last night doing transfers and have just now started my first season as the Gaffer Extraordinaire. Happy with the first game, a convincing 3-0 win over Ipswich. Adam Armstrong is currently coming back from an injury so no presence from him but definitely didn't lack any goals.

Danny Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 In defence it's basically a 6+man wall, when going forward it's a bit like a full on 4-3-3 with 3 defending, wing backs stretching the game out wide and men in the middle taking advantage of space.

Transfers Team First Match If you need depth at center back in January go for Axel Tuanzebe. I can't recommend him enough. He's like a calm version of sakho. Loans are the way to get out of that league. Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs, United, Everton and Newcastle all have academy players that can get you out this league in two or so seasons.
