Footy Manager 08

[Spud]

Right, i need some player help for Swindon.

I'm looking for a central midfielder to add competition as Easton & Adams are playing well. A new central defender as im selling Ifil to Port Vale and i also need a new striker as Simon Cox returned to Reading which is a complete bastard especially as they turned down another loan move but accepted the Tranmere offer!  :evil:

Ive put a loan offer in for Charlie Sheringham as Stroooooooood said he was ace.

And ive had a bid accepted for Leon Constantine but don't know if i should go ahead with the move or not?

[Peter Venkman]

Chris James is a total star in the lower leagues but if you havent got him on a free early on the he goes up in value very very quickly.

Frazier Campbell and Febian Brandy are great stikers with high goals to game average and will come to Swindon on Loan.

Chris Lucketti always perfrms well for me at CB and can be bought for didly squat from Sheff Utd.

[Peter Venkman]

Leon Constantine......in the last 3 seasons in my main game has played 65 games, scored 18 goals with 4 assists and 2 MOM with an average of 6.67 over 3 years, so 6 goals per season for 21 games per season...in my game he is now playing in the 2nd div for Stevenage, might be worth a punt.

Ive currently got Frazier Campbell on loan and he's pretty meh if im being honest, better coming on and playing the super sub role although it tends to be when im 2 goals to the good anyway.

Chris Lucketti is at the Dongs and ive had him in a previouys try with Swindon and he wasn't much cop either.

Ive found loads of Eastern European youngsters who look like they will turn into legends but can never get a work permit for them.  :evil:

[sonic youth]

it's impossible to get work permits spud, not worth trying IMO.

check out daniel huss, should be available for free from luxembourg club Grevenmacher

Yeah ive given up after numerous attempts.

I tried to get him right at the start of the season but he was having none of it, maybe i should try again as he might check out the league one table.

[sonic youth]

odd, he was delighted to join me! something about joining a club with such huge support or some nonsense

[Peter Venkman]

The game does have a large random element in it which is good, I bought Lucketti twice and got player of the season 1st season and an average of 7.17 in the other.

Frazier Campbell I got on loan to replace Cox and he scored 23 in 27 games but I never played him off the bench, I gave that role to Cox!

Febian Brandy I use as a super sub and he has 12 goals from 3 first team ans 23 sub appearances, I think I should give him a go starting!

There are lots of very good players abroad, I got Waldo Ponce in the first game I played for nothing but in the second he wasnt given a work permit  :?

Wierd.

Mawete Junior is doing great guns at Walsall with 22 goals, and Cillian Sheridan has got loads too for Millwall, might be worth a go.

[Peter Venkman]

I finally got round to uploading my highly modified tactic that has been working great for me if anyone wants to give it a try in their game....

http://www.fmformation.net/downloads.php?do=file&id=778

Its a conventional 343 formation with no fullbacks but 3 out and out stikers.

[Spud]

The partnership of Simon Cox and Winston Parks has worked wonders but now Parks has got injure for 3-4 weeks and Cox has gone back to Reading and loaned onto Tranmere, im left with Campbell, Paynter & Corr who can only seem to score in the reserves.

[strooood]

get ali fuseini from millwall, not all that great stats but he improves very quickly, should be available quite cheap from millwall for competition for adams and easton.

make sure you sign saulius mikoliunus (dunno quite how to spell it) on a free at the start of the 2nd year. he is very nice at doing passes

[swindonbob]

and Mikolandas turns quality....i bought him on a free second season, and next season sold him on to Preston for 1m.

[Chubbs]

go for some of Man U's/Liverpools/Arsenals youngsters, even on loan, Or even spurs, i managed to get Adel Taarbat on loan for my swindond squad.

Make sure when you start the game you pick up lauri della vale. a 15 year old fin, you can get him for free, and after 3 seasons he will be immense.

[Spud]

I signed some 17yr old kiddy from Hearts called Steve Husband, central midfielder and he's started very well indeed.

I went ahead with the signing of Leon Constantine and he scored 2 on debut, i also signed Danny Coles (City reject!) from Hull for £4k.

[Bogus Dave]

Im hearts at the moment, sent him out on loan to morton in the second season. fact

I've also got a superkid 18 year old called gary glen. Stats aren't special, but hes got 8 goals in 10 starts at the moment! Might be worth a look if your managing swindon.
