Bryan Ruiz (the guy Fulham has just signed) has been great for me - give him a try.

Exactly mate, and I can't see him being consistent because he won't get a good run of games so his form won't build up. I don't think I can even see him getting more than 5 goals by the end of the season.

2 years for Bellamy, that's quite a contract for a 32 year old striker. I liked him at Liverpool 4 years ago but I can't see him giving a good return now somehow!

But for what viable reasons?

I'm sad to see him go because I think he's quality but I do agree with you mate. It's a bit pathetic if he has sour grapes about fighting for his position - not sure what he expects at Chelsea, especially with AVB promising that youngster a chance in the first team (I forget his name). Lampard...

Very sad to see Meireles go - feels like a step backwards. We should have definitely kept hold of him. Degen on the other hand - glad to see the back of him. It seems like a strange signing in Bellamy - how long have we signed him for? Also a shame to see N'Gog go to Bolton, wish him the best...

Feel a little bit confused as to why Meireles wanted to leave. It can't be due to the competition in his position as it would very much be the same at Chelsea. He's a quality player and will be really sad to see him go - I wonder how much Kenny wanted to hang on to him.

Nice list mate. I'm not much of a lower league player but this is very handy.

Teach Rafael to stop lunging himself into players or stay on his feet or whatever the "preferred move" teaching is. He might tell you where to go but it's worth a shot rather than losing one of your best prospects!

I'm not sure I understand the point of your thread mate?

I've just gone back to a previous save so I'll attach the screenshot of his stats from last season up below. Great advice, I really didn't realise that he was left footed only, so to speak. Cheers mate I will give that a try. Downing had a really good start to the season and ended up being a...

Playing as Liverpool with a 4-2-3-1 formation. 2 CBs, 2 FB, 2 CM, 2 AML/R, 1 AMC and 1 ST - see below: I just can't get the best out of Mata, he isn't scoring many goals, has only scored 4 all season (36 games in, nearly over), with 11 assists in all competitions - which I think is a bit poor...

Exactly this. It's fine using these tactics but when you're a below average team that's just been promoted to the EPL, those kind of tactics won't work against the bigger clubs. I download lots of tactics to see how they are different and how they work and to mainly see what changes I could make...

A lot of insight there, a kind reminder as to why English talent costs so much - many thanks!

All I've got to say is 1:22 - ROFL
