Yeah I think older generations struggle with the concept of reality gaming, like it's derisory or pointless. Football Manager is based on real life scouting (it's how they work out how good to make them) and the majority of class players on the game turn out to be future world class players in real life. I don't really play Fifa, partly cause I'm **** at it but mostly because I don't really do games like that unless it's Tiger Woods or John Madden. I used to watch Fifa futbal mundial, which was a program (dunno if it's still on) that talked about world football and showed highlights from the J league, the Iraqi leave, the Egyptian league and all sorts of other clubs. Loved it. I love watching City, but I equally love watching any other football.
Yeah, loads of clubs use it. They don't Base their entire scouting system on it, but I'd be willing to bet it plays a part, especially in the lower leagues where money is tight and scouting budgets are minimal.
£9 million for Jelavic, apparently his buy out clause is only £3 million. Are you in charge of all Hull City transfers?
Everton are famous for using it. I think they were even the first team to pay for access to their database.
I hope Bruce has some options lined up. It's looking like foreign strikers again I am afraid. Maybe we will get lucky and they will have played in England before.
A Chicago paper said he was catching a flight Friday night so with the time difference he probably got there midday today.
We need rid f Huddlestone very quickly, which I dont see happening any time soon. When Diame and Maloney come in, I think he needs to be dropped, if (which he will be) is still here.
Hertha had a Japanese lad playing for them last night, forget his name, but he was dynamite, Everytime he got the ball he beat two blokes and either crossed or played a forward ball to the strikers feet. We haven't a hope in hell of signing him, but a player like that would be most welcome.
In one of the recent interviews with Bruce he highlighted the need to strengthen midfield, even with Maloney on his way, we need legs in the centre, and we just don`t have that.
That would be Genki Haraguchi the 24 year old striker. No hope of signing him he get's 7.5 for club loyalty. Know him well
