Not sure of the exact name. Just type in 'marco bo' and see what comes up. AC Milan I think. Look at the other loan players as well. Brilliant.
 
Just scout reported him and Filipo Inzaghi, Borriello isn't interested at all but Inzaghi is interested in a loan and I don't think I will have to pay a fee, but his wages may be a problem. Also scouting Di Santo and Armand Traore.


Portsmouth duo set for Fratton Park exit:
Portsmouth players Tommy Smith and Gael Nlundulu are set to leave Fratton Park in Max King's bid to secure the clubs finances. Tommy Smith is set for a £1.5m to Stoke all up front, and Gael Nlundulu set to join Arsenal for £1m. Max King was quoted saying - "They aren't a big part of our season and Nlundulu is a good youngster but he'll have a better future at Arsenal and we need the cash. Tommy Smith hasn't impressed me enough to be kept here and this will now keep us afloat for seasons to come".

Good amount of money in Max. How much money did you get from those transfers to spend?
 
I believe he gets 20% but I wouldn't spend it all if I were him.
 
Cheers fatshit :) Nah i wouldn't either (unless he has to). Just wait and see what happens till next season.
 
Well, I'm guessing you all knew the site has been down for about an hour, and I've now played 35 games, so first I'll start off with the loan signings I managed to make and then I'll do the results lol.


King makes magical moves in loan deals:
Portsmouth caretaker manager has pulled out all the stops to recover from the losses in January, bringing in 5 players on loan. The 5 players were Abou Diaby from Arsenal, Christian Obodo from Udinese, Antunes from Roma, Asier Del Horno from Valencia and Franco Di Santo from Chelsea. They all came with nominal fee's for the loan deals, with the highest one being £425k for Franco Di Santo.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here are the 15 results :)..

Darlington 1-4 Portsmouth (Kanu 2, Dindane, Ben Haim):
Good result and just what was expected of us :) Next round please (A)

Portsmouth 0-2 Liverpool:
We didn't really turn up here and we were never in the game. Well played to Liverpool.

Bolton 1-0 Portsmouth:
Disappointing result if I'm honest, we should of got atleast a point out of the game but Bolton took their chances and once again we were lacking in that department.

Portsmouth 1-0 Notts Forest (Kanu) (FA Cup):
Played a weaker team here and we showed are strength in depth by providing a confident performance. Good result :)

Portsmouth 2-1 Blackburn (Williamson, Kanu):
I decided to start Kanu after his quality showing against Nottingham Forest, and it paid off :D We went 1-0 down early on and I thought it might be another loss, but Kanu leveled shortly after to give us a chance of a win, then in the 90th minute Williamson who was given his debut when Kaboul picked up a virus, smashed home a header from the edge of the area somehow lol. Great win.

Portsmouth 2-0 Fulham (Boateng, Dindane):
We 100% deserved the win and never looked like losing after going ahead. Fulham were unlucky not to score in the opening minute when Johnson somehow hit the bar from 2 yards, we then took control and cruised to the win :)

Chelsea 1-1 Portsmouth:
Amazing result :D I couldn't believe it when it was full time as we certainly didn't deserve this. Chelsea were missing some players due to the African Nations, but still took control and lead 1-0 early on and never looked like losing the lead but Piquionne was brought on and slotted home after Terry and Cech had a misunderstanding and we gambled and got the reward :D Fantastic result.

Tottenham 0-1 Portsmouth (Piquionne):
Tottenham don't seem to have any luck against us :D They pretty much dominated with 57% possession but didn't really create much, with the possession we had we used it well and funnily enough Jamie O'Hara, the man that turned down a return to Portsmouth on loan made the mistake to let Piquionne in to smash home past Gomes :) Fantastic win.

Portsmouth 0-1 Liverpool (FA Cup):
Gutted to lose but once again Liverpool outplayed us and deserved the win.

Portsmouth 2-2 Arsenal (Piquionne 2):
Brilliant 2nd half performance to get us a point here. We played awful 1st half but a good half time TT inspired the lads and gave us the extra push to level it to 2-2 in the last minute :D

Man United 2-0 Portsmouth:
Poor performance but it's always going to hard at Old Trafford against a full strength Manchester United.

Portsmouth 2-0 Man City (Boateng, Diop):
I tried a different sort of team talk at the start saying "No pressure" and it worked a treat going 2-0 up but we looked a little shakey in the 2nd half. We held on though for a brilliant win :D

Wolves 3-0 Portsmouth:
If I had an excuse it would be complacency, but there shouldn't be any excuses here, awful performance and we need to bounce back.

Portsmouth 1-1 Hull (Boateng):
Well, football is cruel sometimes. We were 1-0 up and in full control and then they score a goal out of no where :@ Gutted to not win but I suppose a point is better than nothing.

Burnley 1-4 Portsmouth (Yebda, Utaka, Dindane, Diop):
Perfect result and just what we needed to get back on track. Good team performance and goals coming from midfield and upfront.

Stoke 0-1 Portsmouth (Dindane):
Another vital 3 points away from home. Very pleased with the performance and we looked confident in all areas.

Portsmouth 1-2 Wigan (Boateng):
Not such a bad performance from the players but not good enough defensively and conceded from a set piece and a goal from poor marking. Boateng pulled a goal back late on but it wasn't enough to get anything from this.


Player of the season so far:
Kevin Prince Boateng, he's been fantastic scoring 11 goals, and getting 7 assists with an average rating of 7.17 in 33 league games. Quality player :D :wub:.

Here are screenshots of the league, stats, the transfers and Boateng :)

Btw, the terrible thing that happened like Robson said was that my FM came up with the windows error saying "Football manager has stopped working" and it closed and I lost my 1-0 away win against Chelsea :'(

Also a big thank to Kris who's tactics are the ones I've been using :D

Well I've got 3 games left against:
West Ham - Home (17th)
Sunderland - Away (9th)
Liverpool - Away (2nd)

So I've got a good chance and if I win against West Ham then I've got a great chance of 7th.
