Got a few I need advice on pretty please <3
Player: Will Hughes
Team you are managing: Reading
Team who are selling: Derby
Offer: 1.5m + 4.5m over 48 months
Year: June 2013
Other Info: Start of second season, relied heavily on Le Fondre and managed to scrape 6th last season, so have Europa League. Kept finances in check, but still have to manouver and need to strengthen. Have 2 formations: a 4-5-1 with: flat 4-DLP-AP/DLP-BWM-LW-RW-ST. and a 4-4-2, a DLP sitting behind a BWM or playmaker. Would play Hughes as a playmaker in the centre. My midfield is fairly weak, I have Karacan, Akpan, and Wolf Ekrem, and Jay Spearing on loan who I'm planning on using as my holding midfielder, and occasional BWM, plus a couple of 5star rated DM regens, but they're not ready yet (1 star current). Would Hughes do the job, dictating play, assisting and nicking goals? will he develop well, and is he respectable enough for Europa League?
Or:
Player: Jorge Enriquez
Team you are managing: Reading
Team who are selling: Chivas
Offer: 1.5m + 4.5m over 48 months
Year: June 2013
Other Info: As above, except would use this fella as a either a holding mid, or BWM. Akpan played the role of ball winning midfielder admirably last season, but his attributes are not up to scratch for my ambitions, so could do with a replacement. Geezer looks like a rock, my goal difference was only +4, so hopefully he'd boss the pitch.
Question is, do I go for the playmaker of the enforcer? Enriquez looks more developed and would make an instant impact, but, from experience, I know that players with high potential play above their current ability (well... seems so). Or do I balance the 2 and plump for this guy:
Player: Aron Gunnarsson
Team you are managing: Reading
Team who are selling: Cardiff
Offer: 1.5m + 4.5m over 48 months
Year: June 2013
Other Info: Looks like a decent jack of all trades, but pretty unspectacular, with only 4 stats over 15 (strength, bravery, determination, work rate, oh, and long throws), CA of 3.5 stars and PA of 4 stars. Anyone have experience with him, wnd is he worth getting over the others?
Cheers guys
