Football Manager 2008: Recommended Players


When recommending a player, please use the following code to do it, it makes things a lot easier.


code
 
[size=1][b]Name[/b]
[color=blue]Position[/color] - [color=#7C513D]Age[/color] -  [color=#3D3028]Club[/color] - [color=purple]Cost[/color] - [color=navy]Nationality[/color]
[color=#024930]"Comments"[/color][/size]


The code should come out like this:

quote
Name
Position - Age - Club - Cost - Nationality
"Comments"



For example, if I was to recommend Barzagli, I would do it like this:

Andrea Barzagli
CB - 26 - Palermo - 9-13M - Italian
A fantastic CB, well worth the money. He can score many goals from corners, and he's as solid as a rock at the back, a great partner for any center back.
