As the summer transfer season has ended manager Manuel Sanchis discusses his feeling of being at blackburn rovers and the goals for this season​

' I am absolutely delighted about the things we have achieved this summer we have brought in some top class players and back room staff we have completed the first step of are plan. Of course there is still massive improvement needed in this team but by judging on the fantastic start i think this team has the potential of greatness in the future. I cant tell you how excited i am about being in the premiership its a dream come true. This summers transfers have been nothing but positive they have all settled in very well what is great. The mixture of the signings is great too some experinced players like Leighton Baines, Tim Howard and Park ji sung who already know what the premiership is like and know the ways of the styles in this country and young new talents like Conner Wickham and Yaroslav Rakitskiy have alot of developing too do. And i will spend in January if theres any improvements and back up players needed for injured players but hopefully i wont need to spend in January. Of course im delighted that we managed to keep David Hoilett he has been linked with numourous of clubs but he knew the potential of this team and stayed what im delighted about.' But from now on we must be concentrating on the games up to Christmas and trying to obtain the goals from this summer what i am positive that we can stick too'​

sorry man im a new on this site im not sure how to put print screens on here could u tell me ???



1) Make a folder called screenshots in Your Documents / Sports Interactive / FM2011

2) When you are on the game and you are on the screen you want to take a screenshot of press ALT + F9 and then that will take the screenshot and that will now be in your screenshot folder.

3) To upload the image you first need to go onto the advanced posting form which can be done by clicking on Go Advanced at the bottom of the thread if you are replying to a thread.

4) To upload your screenshots click on the little paper clip icon.

5) You will now have a form where you can browse for your images. Choose your screenshots and press Upload.

6) When the screenshots have finished uploading they will appear under Current Attachments. You can then close that little window.

Hope this helps!

I'm sorry to sound like a drag, but doesn't the basic unlimited funds and super high reputation take some of the fun and challenge out of the game - being able to have, basically, anyone you wanted?
 
What formation do you play because you have a good midfield, it would be nice to see who you leave out.????

RAKITIC TALKS ABOUT HIS RECENT FORM​

The season so far for me has been wonderful , i was expecting a different style of football in this country so i was very worried initially about coming to the premiership but thankfully ive settled well with the football and personal side of the move.

I honestly think we have a chance of a title win this season, the form we are on how can we not aim high.​
