Football Manager 2012

There's a couple of buttons in the top left hand corner that you use to load games from.

 

Two seasons in with Woking, and it looks like I might be offered the Crewe job, AGAIN! Is it me, or is this game a little predictable?

 

It offers the occasional oddity:

That's Adam Lallana, retired at age 29 after several injuries and now managing a League 2 side at 31, commenting on Wayne Rooney, who is still somehow Man U's best player.

 

Lallana could definitely manage one day

 

Lallana won't stay on in my game.

Also, I'm on the verge of signing this guy, to strengthen my title chances.

He's sick. Shouldn't be too hard to pry him away from Real Sociedad. How did they get their hands on a player like that anyway?

 

They pinched him from ColoColo on a free! Fee is £19.5m (clause), and he'll be my joint highest earner. Now just have to decide who to shift to make way..

 

Youth academy? Their one is quite decent isn't it?

Not as good as Athletic's mind...

 

Is it? I can't name anyone particularly good they've produced off the top of my head.

Xabi Alonso and Mikel Arteta, after some research.

 

Etxeberria started at Sociedad, Xabi Alonso did too. Javi Garrido of Man City fame too, and our very own Inigo Idiakez.

Just need a World Cup to complete my collection..

 

Arteta started at Barca didn't he?

 

So he did. I read that he and Alonso grew up together in San Sebastian, and assumed they must have both started at Sociedad.

 

Their current stars Antoine Griezmann and Inigo Martinez came from the academy didn't they?

 

I believe they did - loved Griezmann for a while now.

 

Also, this means something to me and I imagine not just me - M'baye Niang might be playing as a trialist for Arsenal in the Markus Liebherr cup. Seeing Rodriguez and Niang playing on the same pitch after seeing them play together on my Football Manager for several years will be a (very slight) mindfuck.

 

What a game.



And this was the game after!

 

Check it out, I found someone worse than Hoadie!

I love how he kept Cork in the team to make it look a little more realistic.

 

Where did Hoadie go? I see he was looking around 10 mins or so ago on some other board.

I've just caught up with reading his profile:

Interests:
Gillingham Football Club, Hot Babes and Music (Love Hip Hop, Pop, Bass music and also Clubland Music

Occupation:
Business man and Football Fan and self confessed pundit, Would love to be a football pundit, love it

 

I suppose "hot babes" means ****ing to internet porn, seeing as I highly doubt he's ever seen a pair of tits in real life.
