    Awesome. That means we now have Colo, Jonas, Krul, Ba (x2), Raylor, Cabaye.

    FM12 with Lille's going brilliantly, won the French Community Shield on pens, won all 3 of the opening games despite a modest budget and the fact that no player will even talk to me. Tough CL draw though - Bayern, Benfica, us and Napoli.

    Yeah, it's a shame that Taylor got injured because i'm sure he would have had one too at some point. Think our only other real hopes are Tiote and maybe Ben Arfa.

    Who did you buy? I had to sell Sow because he wanted to join Arsenal. Replaced him with Giroud who has 5 in the last 3.

    Got really desperate, I've managed to hold onto all my best players despite £20m bids for Hazard, got a 37 yr old CB on a free as we only have 3 and one of them is Rozenhal <yikes>. Bought Sinclair from Swansea as well as I dont have enough attackers for my 4-2-3-1, he's versatile and decent from the bench. Also bought a young Turkish prospect who has high potential, forgot his name.

    I'm scouting Giroud but dont plan to get him this window, only got 6 days left and about half a million.

    Realistically what I'm hoping for, Benfica are beatable but Napoli was a nightmare draw from pot 4.

    Lucky, Arsenal put a 15 mil bid in for Sow, I rejected it and then he wanted to move <grr> He wasn't in form though so I offered him around for 15 mil and they put a bid in again. Bought Giroud for 6 mil and he can't stop scoring <laugh> Got McEacheran on loan as part of a 4-3-3. Rozenhal is doing well for me actually <yikes> Didn't see that coming tbh.

    Rozenhal was **** for me in pre season so I havent had the courage to play him in an actual important game yet, says a lot that I'm considering Materazzi over him <laugh>. Lucky the youth facilities are amazing. I'm starting to wish I had sold Sow now, he's not playing half as well as Jelen, but I havent received any bids for him. Just played Montpellier and Giroud was brilliant for them, tempted now.

    I'm doing fantastic in my FM12 Newcastle save. First season, 3rd in the league, level on points with City in 2nd and Spurs in 4th. Think I'm around 22 games in, only lost 1 <diva> Went 18 games unbeaten then lost at Old Trafford <laugh> Sturridge has something like 23 goals though <laugh> Definitely going to miss him when he leaves. Who is a decent replacement? I have Yaya Sanogo joining in the summer.

    Is Sanogo that young guy with unreal potential? He'll probs be good enough if so, but Giroud is available on mine for 11m, dont know what sort of budget you have.

    Yeah Sanogo is apparently the really good youngster, his contract was up and so I got him on a free even though Barca were also interested apparently <diva> Don't thnk my budget is that big at the minute. I also have Tomkins from West Ham and Gabriel Silva joining in the summer. I'm very prepared defense wise <laugh> Just need a ready made goal scorer to replace Sturridge. Ba hasn't impressed whenever he's played so I don't wanna rely on him.

    Tried Giroud straight away and then again in January but they wanted like 18 million for him. Will take a look at Podolski, how much can you get him for?

    Also, got Barnetta for 2.6m in January and he's been simply brilliant.

    I play Rozenhal in DM, it's been his best position for me. Him with McEacheran and Balmont have been bossing every game for me! Jelen started well for me but can't score for **** now <laugh> Even Rodelin is scoring more than him now! Didn't even realise there's another Hazard too <yikes>

    There's three Hazards! Did you sell Mavuba/Pedretti as well? I'm kind of annoyed I havent signed a first teamer though, I like to have had a visible impact on the team on FM.
