thanks marshall.
in responce to modestatt, i much prefer how the transfer market works now. i think it's very unrealistic before, when 5 star players would go for peanuts and nobody else would be interested in them. if walcott got put up for sale now, you really don't think anybody would offer 40m for him?? esepcially since there are so many russian and arab billionare owned clubs now
if you want better value and bargains, play serie a, you can still pick up quality young 4-5 star italian players for 5-10m or less.. capuano, bellusci, half of atalanta's team, faraoni, verre, petrucci, peruzzi, toloi, crisetig and towards the end of the season destro, viviani, florenzi, gabbiadini, bardi, perin, leali and fabbrini on a free... not to mention tons of non-italians like jali, abel hernandez, and way too many to mention here. invest in good coaches and training and you will have top players after half a season to a season.
if you wanna buy cavani, hamsik, fellaini and **** straight away you're going to have to pay 30-40m+ sorry
in my cardiff save right after the new update (just fnished first season, 7th for EL qualification, just beat out liverpool who came 8th, draw last game while i beat man u

) everton sold fellaini and baines for a shitload, bought no one and got relegated. i'm trying to purchase their players, all unhappy and transfer listed, but competition is very stiff- they want 6m for a 31 year old jagielka, sold kevin mirellas for 11m (i couldnt afford the wages), sold gibson for 9m+ (again, too much competition and high wages), which is realistic to me. previously those players would have gone for nothing
btw marshall, cornelius is still an absolute beast, scored 22 in about 34 games in the PL for me first season as a lone striker just supported by the regular cardiff players (only new midfielder i brought in first season was will hughes). once i trained him to shoot with power, got jumping to 18 and finishing to 15 he's just powering them in (6) i think i can get him to 30 in the 2nd season

longball, he wins it, controlles it forward to just the end of the area, outmuscles the defenders with his strenght, and BAM power shot. he is better than benteke IMO, his combination of strenght, aerial ability, decent shooting and pace with good dribbling and technical ability is too much for PL defenders... maybe lower the last 2 so he can't control the ball as well?
