Giles Barnes or James Coppinger?

[Max]

Hey, well I apoligise if there is one of these threads already, but I could only find one for FM2010, so yeah, I'm having a quick go with Leicester on Chris's V8 update so we're in the championship, and I'm looking for a right winger/midfielder, and I'm struggling to choose between Giles Barnes and James Coppinger. Barnes will cost about £2m, and Coppinger will cost about £1.1m, my scouts (Who have 19 judging ability and 19 potential ability) say Barnes is better than Coppinger, but should I go for lower ability and cheaper price, or higher ability and higher price? I've got around £1.4m left in my budget and the Barnes buy would have £400k of it upfront and the rest in monthly installments.

Cheers, Max

P.S: If you hadn't already figured it out this is for FM09

Go for Barnes, he is a great player in the Championship.

Go for Barnes, he is a great player in the Championship.

Cheers mate I think I'll go for Barnes, and if I've got enough money, get Coppinger aswell because both of them can play RM/RW/CM/ACM so I think I'll use the tactic I created for Everton which is 4-3-1-2/4-3-2-1 so I could switch it about with the two of them swapping positions from ACM to RM and giving other teams a handful Also I'm hopefully getting Zenden on a free

 

[Chris]

Lol, Zenden should be decent. Hopefully you should be able to sign both of them.

 

[Max]

Yeah hopefully Has anyone here ever had any experience with Martyn Waghorn? He's on loan here at Leicester from Sunderland and he looks alright, just wondering if anyone's had past experience?

 

[Ronan]

i would get barnes.

 

[Max]

Got Barnes, offered Coppinger a contract and hopefully the board will allow the transfer to happen

 

[Chris]

Awesome, a good player you got there.

 

[Max]

Got Coppinger Didn't get Zenden though He went to some Dutch team, oh well, Lloyd Dyer will have to do on the left Also just got Tamir Cohen from Bolton for £200k xD What a steal

 

[Chris]

Oh well unlucky, though you got a couple of good players there.
