    So I can finally sign players. This is what I did with my first transfer window.

    Yeah, he was convinced we were gonna sign him in 2010. He looked a pretty tide player in fairness, wouldn't have complained!

    Hamdi Salihi was indeed a Rocket special, a few months after Freddy Adu!

    Right, so I signed a bunch of professional players, partly for the purpose of tutoring. What I didn't take into account was that some youngsters, such as Jamal Blackman, would have too much of a difference in personality with his tutor, Neil Alexander, presumably because Jamal Blackman is a douche. Is it therefore going to be impossible to tutor Blackman, because he won't get along with professional players? Or is there something I can do to increase his professionalism?

    Maybe it might get better being around professional players, he might adapt to fit in, like when it says on the report card!

    whilst i was looking for regen dates on google, i did find one trick to help find regens that are world class earlier! this might be helpful, most of you probably know this so bear with me!

    basically go on world > transfers > world. then change "all transfers" in the drop down box to youth intake. this shows all the youth players that have just been released. this also gives you the dates of the regens that have come through, and if you look on the "i" you get a look at the attributes. if they look decent, give them a scout. this trick has helped me a bit, as it gives you an idea of when regens are released, and you can sign the best one before the clubs offer them a contract, possibly saving you lots of money!

    hope this helps :)

    Well I hope it's soon, because he's losing valuable tutoring time.

    Also, does anyone have any decent training regimes that they've downloaded/created?

    I've only gone and signed Ozil! In his prime at 29! 25 million but I had the money spare and it's my first "this will increase shirt sales" signing!

    On a slightly FM-related note, seen his name mentioned a bit - Tony Coton has had a heart attack, but is now recovering at home.

    Signed a dutch centre back called Hooiveld as well, he's 18 and I shelled 10 million to start with 10 million over 48 months and 10 million after 5 caps. The lads a monster but If I'm truthful it's his name that made me shell out!

    On April 21st 2016 and i've just signed Gareth Bale for £18million. He wanted to leave Tottenham, then they put him up for sale so I put in a cheeky bid and now he's mine as of June! He's going to be my highest paid player though. Needed to give him a good contract for him to come although I don't think it's too bad. Should work out well in the long run, he's still only 26 and in his prime!

    Great little player for me :) I keep banging on about this lad and if you give him the game time he's a good cheap poacher at Premier League level.
