I am home with the flue and will probably play about 10-15 matches today.

Edit: This is the first time I ever play with Chelsea in FM09 but I have to say that... Wow, they seriously lack in squad depth.

Great : Both Anelka and Drogda out for the first 5 league matches

I would say that without any signings and with some injuries, they are not a top team. As for a challenge, they most certainly are in this particularly one, having no squad depth, aiming to win all competitions.

can you buy anyone

 

[TheBetterHalf]

can you buy anyone

Yes we are allowed. Starting with £12m in transfer budget makes it hard to get anything else than rotation players though.

 

[Kris]

good to see the olden oldies getting the votes on the poll

 

[TheBetterHalf]

Bit scared of Foxy though, he has had a great start of the season and it certainly wont be a surprise if he was to grab one of the tickets to the next round

How much money did you have for transfers. I only had £12m ?( I am in December now)

 

[mshaw2]

Sakho I brought before for 33 million and Tevez has just gone to Man City who are unforgivable when wanting to buy their players. Strange how you got such a vastly enormanet transfer budget. I'm sure the screenshots will show us anyway. Good luck

He is not in City in 9.3 db though

Note that i am not questioning your transfers at all Foxy, we just have different transfer budgets that's all.

Last I heard we were doing the V7 update? Has that now changed?

 

[FoxyCFC]

I started with 12mil, then asked for more got 13mil
Got Henry for 18mil, then sold carvalho, ferreira, belleti for like 30mil between then (20mil for carvalho)
Then bought tevez for 12mil because he was unhappy as i unsettled him ad got sakho for 8mil

At the start of every game your able to get Sakho for 8mil
