Poll of the Day > I hate when in Football Manager you want to sell a guy but

(+) Yeah! (+)

then he starts playing well, so even though it's all fake video game shit, I feel bad. But my GK gotta GO. Sure, he has not let up a goal in 383 minutes, but the guy has too much of a tendency to rush out which has been his downfall and he's let in a good bit of goals prior to this because he comes out way too far.

Sorry Kasper Schmeichel, but I need to raid Brazil for your replacement. But the sad part is I actually feel bad.

Why do I feel bad?

> Why do I feel bad?

Engaging in the buying and selling of people? you should feel bad

You sell people? Wtf

Look man, there aren't those ships anymore. Instead we just pay em like 50-150+ grand a week.

Another thing that sucks is team talks.

I have a player, one of my Centre defenders who is always up my ass about my team talks.

I am up 1-0 over Manchester City in the FA cup at the half. I have a talented squad but my team isn't as good as Man C and I am the underdog. Plus I found a "perfect" tactic online that has been improving but hasn't really given me great results outside of the last month in game.

So, I tell my sla- err, men: Things can change quickly in soccer, stay focused.

The point is to tell my guys if you slow down any, they WILL come back. Don't let that happen.

Most are motivated or gain confidence but this goober is "confused"

come on, man!

sounds like his wife is pregnant and he doesn't know if he wants to continue his career

So I've been playing and when you're shameless using the editor you can just throw all logic out of the window.

I have given my team a billion dollars, however since I started in the 6th division of England, I couldn't sign the world class talent yet. But I did increase my reputation some, so I could sign players of talent 1-2 leagues higher than my own.

To date I've been a conservative spender with my transfers. Despite having unlimited money if I choose I do negotiate when i do these things, but I also know I can afford whatever.

There is a Chinese regen that really looks like a world class player. He is young, and had a great season last year. I noticed he is in my transfer pool, so while Fullham is unlikely to sell him, we'll see about that.

I ask Fullham what they'd let him go for. They respond saying "We won't sell no matter the price"

So, I offer them 225 million, perhaps more than the entire net worth of the entire Fullham club.

They immediately accept. In one action, I break the real life transfer fee record by 5 million, but this is the 2013 edition so back then the record was probably not much more than 100m.

I've actually gotten rid of players I no longer need before by agreeing to pay them the difference between their wage with me and their new team who is paying less. I incentivize players with $50,000+ bonuses per goal(no proof this actually does anything) scored.

My first season in the Premier League I finished 7th. Not as high as i'd have wanted but after 6 successive promotions, we with the big dawgs now. I did, however, manage to win the FA Cup, which was very unexpected because it was a 3-0 win over Manchester United who beat me all season and knocked me out of the Capital One Cup. This is the first trophy i've ever won, also, because back in the lower leagues I overperformed in the FA cup but didn't win(after all 500+ teams participate in it) and I made the FA trophy final once and lost(after winning like 20 straight games to a team I just beat the match prior).

Now it's time to show people I am not messing around. I signed my Brazilian trio(because they are good and the one guy was sad being away from home so I snagged two of his friends to come hang out), this Chinese stud, then I'm going after this one left midfielder(who can also play nearly every position in midfield in some capacity) who I think has nice calves and is a strong hard worker.

Money!!!
