On my Juventus game, I'm up to January 2010 and I'm 3rd in Serie A and still going strong in the Champions League. During my time at Juve I've signed Hulk, Gourcuff and Bruno Alves. I've sold Trezeguet, Marchisio and Legrottaglie. Amauri has been outstanding, bagging 12 league goals already. Unfortunately Del Piero has been somewhat injury prone, which has caused me a few selection headaches up front(whether to play 4-3-2-1, or Iaquinta/Giovinco up with Amauri). Next season I'll be looking to ship out the likes of Zebina, Poulsen and other fringe players.

You had a look at Jonjo Shelvey or Adam Pepper?

I've signed both of them on my Celtic game. Shelvey is looking good, Pepper has gone out on loan.

I was just playing my Juventus game then, when I was met with a message from the board saying they were giving me £500million towards new players, wages and facilities. I then clicked to accept the bonus when a box popped up saying April Fool, as it was also 1st of April 2010 on my game. It really got my hopes up.

I won Serie A in my first season as Juventus, then took the Brazil job in the summer. Looking to sign a defender or two this summer and maybe another midfielder with the likes of Cannavaro, Poulsen and Zebina leaving the club.

Looking to sign a midfielder with my remaining budget. Signed Rafinha and Criscito from the co-ownership with Genoa to beef up my defence. I'm keeping my eye on Nasri, Defour and Di Maria to solve my midfield dilemma. Any other suggestions ?

Re: Football Manager 2010 : Sun Apr 04, 2010 8:39 pm  

Currently in my 4th season, on 1st January. I'm amazingly sitting in 3rd position and 3 points behind leaders Chelsea, it would be some achievement to get in the Champions League, never mind win the league.

1st Season - Promotion to Championship (as Champions)
2nd Season - Promotion to Premiership (finished 2nd)
3rd Season - A respectable 10th placed finish
4th Season - Currently sitting in 3rd place on 1st January, so who knows?

I'm actually really enjoying the game too, this is the longest game i've ever played. I'm going to look to do another few seasons at Southampton, and then maybe look to either take the United job, or go abroad.

Best advice i can give is go on the Si forums and ask there, they are bound to have a reason/solution.

I finished fourth with Southampton, which obviously means Champions League football. They once again gave me plenty to spend, and i have signed some world class players as well some youngsters with great potential to try and keep Southampton going in the right direction.

I sold quite a few players as they were getting in there 30's, and they were more stop gap signings that were able to make a good fist of the Premiership, and they probably exceeded expectations and got me to 4th, which was a great achievements. I brought in Augero, Sneijder and Balotelli amongst others, and the board want me to challenge for the title this season, which i am confident of doing. I wasn't far off last season being in a reasonable position to challenge with about 10 games to go, however, i then lost a few, got a few injuries etc., and obviously dropped away and Chelsea won the league very easily in the end. There was 5 or 6 of us, on about 64 points, fighting it out for the final 3 champions league places, thankfully, i got one. I'll list my squad tomorrow when i have time, but its a top quality squad that is also the youngest in the league.
