Sonic - Get Dong Fangzhou on a season long loan from Man Utd. Also Albert Jarrett is fecking good!



Neither want to sign for me at the start of the game with Swindon.


Dong just goes out on loan to fecking Walsall! and Jarrett wants too much money.

With Jarrett you just have to up his wages a bit. It's worth it though.

Dunno about the striker from manure. I guess I'd signed a few players by then so it may have tempted him. I also had transfer listed two of my strikers so that could be a factor? Maybe I got lucky

Ebay buy it now for £20 or bid on them as they are going for about £15 plus £1.50 p+p or alternately buy a copy on ebay before they remove it for about £5 not that I would recommend anyone to break the law!

How's your game going James?

I'm sat 3rd with 8 matches to go. In the paint pot final against dirty leeds as well.

I've found that the AI susses you out a lot more in this version. I've been going back to the tactics archive to revive some old versions of the one I'm using and that seems to do the trick for another few games. Think I need to invent a proper alternative tactic and a variation of my current one for away games.

i do not recommend anyone start a game in the blue square south. it appears to be a case of get the ball between the sticks and the keeper does not have a chance...that is when your guy can get it between the sticks and under the other bigger stick

of course keepers can't judge when to come out for a ball either. and the defenders are very slow...so a long ball just turns into a goal.

it's very strange and completely not down to tactics in any way at all

I have yet to start a game that low in 2008, I will give it a try and see if I have the same results as you, in 2007 with a few good signings on frees it used to be possible to get a fair few 7 or 8 nil wins in the Blue Square South/North.
