Dr. Nguyen Van Falk Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Hi guys! Couldn't sleep last night, and just started to think of a list of potensial players we can buy now/or in the summer. Feel free to comment, and give me your opinions. Also please state how much you think we'd have to pay: How many of these you actually seen play? Hi Obviously not all of them, but I've seen quite a few. Some of the players I've just heard about through friends, and if I am to believe what they say, these players are good, and will improve us. |maze| Are your friends all characters on football manager? Too slow Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really fuking hate people who think just because you play a football game you have an unrealistic look on football or your opinion is distorted by it. Those people who think you are below them and their opinion counts as shite because you dare look at a few in game stats and search about for the real player, really boil my piss. But on this occasion its 100% justified, i've never seen such an FM post put up on a forum, its text book, and cringe worthy. As a serial gamer, I'm ashamed.

maze Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Kikin Fonseca is my top Football Manager recommendation. Ahem. That's just pathetic. Nothing but pathetic! There's absolutely nothing to gain by mocking me or my post. My list is long, but atleast I'm thinking 'outside the box' which is just what we need (and obviously allowed to in this thread). I can only follow up what's posted above - what makes you believe that you are any better than me at picking players? (elbee909?) If we have a s**t load of cash to spend, then I'm sure you can compile a pretty decent XI out of my list...? And about the Carrick talking - seriously for £18 mill ?? mackems.gif You got to be f***ing kidding me. As some other people have said as well, we can get much better for that amount of money. And S.A. Ferguson is not known for selling his players before they are over their peak. Newcastle on the other hand, has sold Andy Cole to Man Utd, let Saha go (he wasn't good enough???). We have also brought in Smith and Butt for Man Utd - have they ever played as well here as at Man Utd? W/e agrument.... £18 mill is pure robbery, he's overpriced, and if Ferguson want to sell.. it's his problem. Sure we need a player of atleast his calibre, but not Carrick for that much...

fredbob Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Who could you get for £18m who would be as willing to come? What does Mashcereno offer that Carrick doesnt? MAybe a little more defensive protection becuase if you ask me, Carrick makes up for that with his passing ability. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAybe a little more defensive protection becuase if you ask me, Carrick makes up for that with his passing ability. Fair point! Obviously, there are many players to pick from, but I guess there's only a few that would settle in as quickly as Carrick (with that calibre). And keegan wants that type of player. However, I must admit spending that much money on him would be crazy. It's a lot of cash! Plus, whenever Ferguson decides to sell it's not because he's forced to, it's because he knows the player is 'past his peak'. S.A. Ferguson is damn good at that, and he's rarely wrong Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferguson is damn good at that, and he's rarely wrong Its a lot of money for the old newcastle yeh, but id advocating spending as much money as possible for a new manager, keegan needs his own players and Carrick is exactly what we need. Fergie isnt daft, you're right and thats where the problem lies, he'd definitely want a decent profit on him, i wouldnt be surprised to see something stupid put on him like £22m+ Persnally, i would snap up Carrick for the exact same price that man u would but not a penny more.

maze Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 What do you think about Riquelme? Sure, he'll take some time to adapt (if he ever does) but his technique is superb, that's atleast how I remember him from the Argentina matches. I'm not updated on his current situation... but he's been injured quite a lot ...or ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAybe a little more defensive protection becuase if you ask me, Carrick makes up for that with his passing ability. as a defensive midfielder mascherano is miles better than carrick. Mascherano is a fantastic tackler and rarely misplaces a pass. the attacking midfielder should provide the creativity not the defensive player. Mascheranos passing is underrated, whereas carrick doesn't seem to want to dirty his shorts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ObaStar Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 first off mascherno was at west ham last year. so lets not get too afraid of putting in a bid for him. Secondly I was just making the point that there is quality out there for 18 million, people way better than carrick. Barry for instance would cost way less than that.

What a brilliant experience that was for Mascherano, I'm sure he'd jump at the chance of joining a team of similar ability. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gggg Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Never in a million years will huge clubs sit buy and watch a player like Mascherano come to Newcastle, thats if he even would think twice about it. Well Liverpool dont have the money, Man Utd dont need him, Arsenal wouldnt have him, Chelsea have a million midfielders so dont need him, same for Barca, same for Inter, Real Madrid have Diarra, Roma have De Rossi, AC Milan is possible, and then Man City. The only thing MSI will be interested in is the money and as shown by the West Ham and Corinthians moves Mascherano hanst got much say where he goes.

Also please state how much you think we'd have to pay: Goalkeepers: Jussi Jaaskelainen Vincent Enyeama Oscar Ustari Ochoa Benoit Costil Igor Akinfeev Tim Wiese Defenders Armand Traore Giorgio Chiellini Per Mertesacker Naldo Pablo (At. Madrid) Miguel Veloso Cristian Zaccardo Fabricio Coloccini Vincent Kompany Nicky shorey Urby Emanuelson Jacques Faty Jeremy Mathieu Lucio (Bayern) Gonzalo Pineda Petri Pesanen (how good are these last two IRL?) Eduardo Ratinho Oleg Husyev Darijo Srna Christian Pander Defensive Midfielders Javier Mascherano Jean II Makoun Fernanodo (Bordeaux) Ayila Yussuf Freddy Guarin Midfielder Jeremy Toulalan Tim Borowski Lucho Gonzalez Christian Ledesma Stephan Appiah Lucas Biglia Luka Modric Rafael van der Vaart Diego (Werder Bremen) Samir Nasri Juan R .

Pazzini Dean Ashton Huntelaar Palacio Edison Cavani Caesar Delgado A. Kerzahkov Okey, that's it. A Nice and long list that I've written of 3 A4 pages *puh*... Maybe Alfonso Alves should be on that list too. Didn't include the likes of Carrick and Deco because they are already mentioned. |maze| Dear God. Seriously, how many of these players have you actually seen play? (not counting some 14 year old's clips on Youtube). Actually, a better question is how many of them have you signed on Championship manager? Maybe we could start a petition to help sign some of them?
