I am selling Hoilett due to him wanting to leave to either Arsenal or Tottenham for £8mill. I already have £9mill, bearing in mind also want to sign a striker and centre midfield so which of these of these wingers should I pick?
Valbuena transfer listed £3mill
M Marin transfer listed £9.75mill
Hatem Ben Arfa £4.5mill
Alex Texeira £11mill
Pitroipa £10 mill
Arshavin free but have to wait till his contract runs out otherwise he wont sign
Wijnaldum £9mill
Pieneer £1.6 mill but wants 66k and a couple of players have match highest earner

Take your pick!
 
Marko Marin as he is more rounded(position wise) and doesnt have annoying international matches.
 
I have to respectfully disagree, when I signed Marin on my team he never did well, averaging about a 6.7. Possibly it was the formation I was using but basically every game I would see him break past all defenders and by right up against the goalie and miss horribly. Or, even worse, he would have a clear pass to a teammate but would still take a bad shot and miss. He isn't content to be a backup and would always whine about playing time, I ended up losing money when I sold him. But this might all just be on my game, I'm sure other people have had better experiences with him.

The only other one of those I ever used was Alex Texeira, and while he's similar in that he won't score very often, he shares the ball much better and I would recommend him.
 
none of them are that good, a cheap winger is Joaquin, very good crosser of the ball, he is transfer listed so you can get him on the cheap

Marin's stats are horrible in FM12. He's much better IRL. I have Marin for already 4 season, and he's a handy player. but there are obviously better players than Marin for wingers position.

So far
-1 votes for Marin
1 vote for valbuena
1 vote for Alex Texeira
1 vote for Wijnaldum
and 1 vote for Gaitan whos not on the list!

I need at least 5 more votes before I make my decision...
 
Hatem Ben Arfa is beasty in my save. 14 assits and 4 goals in 24 appearances ( due to his injury ) . Hope this help :D

Nope Montpellier!

But I am looking to sign Rochina as well. He plays for Granada who have got relegated and I need a new striker as Sanago loan expires!
 
Now I face a dilemma. Do I sign Alex Texeira/ Wijnaldum for around £10 mill which leaves with £8mill to get a centre mid and poacher striker. Or do I get Valbuena/ Ben Arfa for £3/ 4 mill, which leaves me with a budget of £14 mill.

Here are my targets for poacher striker: Rochina (Grananda relegated) and N'gog (Bolton Relegated) Aubemayang (top scorer Ligue 1)
Centre midfield: Varratti (around £2mill), Van Der Vaart (£1.6mill high wages), Granero (free) I am also already signing Velaso for £2.5mill from Genoa.
I am also looking at Niang and Nangis as both want to leave Caen.

So what do I do, do I go for the better players in Texeira/ Wijnaldum and hope my transfer is enough to buy a striker and midfielder or do I buy the cheaper option which may not be as good, but I have enough money for additional players?

Help!
