Anyone play FM2011?

I always tried to get Benzema on loan -- never ever successful. What were you offering for him?

 

This was a while ago, I've tried since and he always turned me down. At the time it was a loan deal, 50% wages and a couple of million loan fee. I had a clause to buy him for £7.5m and tried to buy him at the end of the season. He wanted something mad like £120,000 per week and I couldn't get anywhere near offering him what he wanted so he went back to Madrid and that was that.

Kaka is available for loan (31 years old) on my current game but Madrid want me to pay all of his £190,000 per week which isn't happening!

 

On the official update, I offer to pay 50% of his wages and half a million loan fee for Benzema, always joins in the first season. Can never buy him after though, refuses to even start talks.

 

If you're on the 11.3 patch & you're NUFC, then snap Christian Benitez! 1 - 1.5m(at a push) transfer fee but demands around 40k per wages but still worth it for his quality! Bagged 21 in 31 starts in his first full PL season, then scored 28 in 40(Europa Cup apps included) & in his third season he was scoring 11 in 12.. but my file got corrupt & it stopped working. Gutted

Might start somewhere fresh for a new challenge.. Bundesliga, Championship(N'Power), La Liga & Seria A is what I'm thinking. Any ideas on a NON-NUFC FM11 11.3 save?

 

I've got England, Spain and Italy loaded so can't get Benitez. I've never managed another team yet - I find that I don't care enough to put the required effort in!

 

Only ever managed Newcastle and England on any game, apart from on 2007 on xbox 360. Took Hartlepool to the Premiership with the mighty James Brown and Jermaine Beckford upfront. Quit after 10 games in the Premiership, lost 9 drew 1. Luckily after a few months the Newcastle manager got sacked so I did not have to wait long

 

I have tried multiple times to start careers away from Newcastle, such as trying to get Stevenage to the Premiership or a crappy Spanish team and build them up but I always get board and come back to Newcastle.

 

Aye, nowt like managing Newcastle! Familiarity!

 

has anyone managed toni kroos?

ive always wanted to sign him (been playing fm for years) but always been put off by his lack of workrate and balls

please log in to view this image

also, isn't there another fm thread here with more replys etc?

 

I thought about signing him but I decided to try and get Pastore instead, however that is not going very well at the moment so I might have to try and get Kroos instead.

 

As far as right backs go, Sebastian Corchia from Lorient does the job for me, class.

 

xisco is the first to go for me and routledge to stoke for 900k all the time i got bought out by a portugese guy and i get 150 mil to spend every season now and im on a 88 unbeaten run in the premier league atm and i was laughing cos drogba is the manager of wolves and duff is the manager of the mackems oh and owen is the manager of charlton hahaha lol its mad oh oh oh and mourinho is the manager of everton hahaha hes turned the team round they're second behind me lol

 

drogba just got sacked

 

Can I just say Barnetta on Footy Manager is quite a player too

looks like were getting him according to cwarr

 

I've just been on mine, jan window first season.

Went to do a swap deal, Krul for Robinson (Young LB) both agreed contracts for both clubs on deadline day and Robinson's now in my squad. Then got a message saying Krul's transfer wasn;t complete yet Robinson is still in my squad. He looks as if he's on loan in Liverpool's squad and I can still make an offer for him but there's nothing anywhere about him in loan.

Did I just get him for free?

 

he's on loan i think or its a glitch it happened to me with vuckic i sold him but it said he still played for me !

 

Team as it as (this thread made me go back on lol):

---------Krul----------------
-Simmo-Saylor-Jagielka-Enrique
-Lualua-Tiote-Vuckic-Ben Arfa-
---------van der Vaart--------
---------Agbonlahor----------

Bench: Gilks, Willo, Goodwillie, Rosicky , Taarabt (he's **** on fm), Gosling, Dos Santos
Stephen Fletcher is injured but normally gets a game or two

 

Respect to van der Vaart who just scored 2 30yd free kicks in one match

 

i made a game where i created 15 players with max stats i scored 157 goals in the first season and i had 2.99 billion to spend on transfers and the toons capacity was 150,000, it makes the game a bit better for 1 season then it gets quite **** lol

 

I tried to get Neymar on FM Santos or whoever heplayed for wouldnt accept anything less then 25mil!!! How much you guys pay for him and is he worth it?
its either him or that babacar future rating of 4 and 1/2 star and meant to be a wonder-kid
