He's a defender, he'll need to challenge in the air. Getting caught on the jaw in an ariel challenge could worsen it not to mention just purely heading the ball would cause him great discomfort.

First game as Southampton ended in an impressive 4-0 rout of Crystal Palace, Lallana and Lambert with a brace a piece. Cork, Schneiderlin, Lallana and Puncheon with the assists. Could be a decent game this, looking forward to resuming it.

Having a fit arm is essential to running Which is what your strikers should be doing, and he's still going to be challenging in the air, could very well knock it and hurt it more.
Starting as PSG, this'll be good while I'm taking a break from Wrexham.

I won the title with Genoa. Their first ever title apparently.
As i said previously, i took over when they were 16th, finishing 5th, and now i won it the following season. By a decent amount of points too, something like 4 or 5 games left.

Oscar Cardozo scored loads, Veloso got 14 assists, and Paspathapolololpolpous scored 10 goals, what a beast.

I don't really like staying at a club after success. I find it a bit boring - either I win it again and it's like meh, or i don't and i rage
(There is of course the champions league to look forward to, but i've created another save game in case i ever want to go back to it. I also created another game where i was offered the Dortmund job after they underachieved, so that's my next game sorted too!)

So, new challenge. Juventus approached me with a big budget. I took it. They finished 4th last year - 20 points off me. Squad doesn't as good as my Genoa team, and not many good players wanted to go to me because i'm not in the champions league. Which surprises me really, because it's Juventus after all. Anyway, this is what i've done.

- I made 56mil. Krasic to City for 15mil was already arranged, and so was Giovinco to Parma. Sold others such as Ziegler, Elia, Quagliarella, Labyad, Palambo, Alan, Rafael Toloi, Lichtsteiner, Barzagli which raised quite a lot, not to mention getting rid of their awfully high wages.

I needed quality players, as well as players to build a better squad and better depth. I also needed players who would fit into my system, the system which i used at Genoa.

- Brought in: Zabeleta 5mil, Munoz 8mil, Carole 5mil, Bandalovski 12mil, Tejera 7mil, Aquilani 1mil, van Der Vaart 3mil, Ben Arfa 4mil, Destro 5mil, Necid 10mil.

So far, as expected, Aquilani & VDV are constantly injured and i immediately regret signing them. Destro has a great record for me so far and is someone who improved a lot for me at Genoa. Necid scored a decent amount too.





But Zabeleta has played just as much at right wing back, Ben Arfa CAM and Matri has played a lot.

Currently 2nd, joint top with Milan after 10 games.

Just bid for Borini after selling my backup poacher. Couldn't help myself  He'll add absolutely nothing to my Liverpool squad, but if Damiani ends up injured then at least I've got someone who can come in.

He looks awesome on that game schnix he's been quite average on mine.

He looks awesome on that game schnix he's been quite average on mine.

the screenshot where he scored 40+ goals is not my game. it's my friend's save. he plays borini in the middle with totti and some other striker on each side of him. i play borini out wide with paloschi in the middle. very different roles. the good thing about borini is his versatilty

borini's average on my game (by my standards), but still pretty decent goalscoring rate for a wide forward. avg rating's not bad either considering i'm playing borini out of position

quote Liverpool_96

how did you play him Shnix? might see if he'll cross Rome to my Lazio side.

just for that i'm not telling you

i'm already pretty depressed how he's going away to liverpool IRL

Holy shit! ^ that's an awesome return! How did you play him?

Decided to start up a new game inspired by LegendaryLegend Doing a career based save, I intended on doing this earlier. I did start up an unemployed save where I got the Bari job straight away! then moved to Lazio from there, considering carrying on with that, iirc I had two awesome youngsters that I signed from there too (Bari). Actually I will carry on that save.

I've come close to signing Ben Arfa a few times however his wage demands always put me off. (I have him on loan with Lazio)

I am starting a new save because sooner enough I will get bored with Rocha then never want to play it again, so I want it to still be a desirable save in the future.

Edit: Gone back to me Lazio save to see that I brought 6 players back from Bari! 4 regens, 2 I signed and the other 2 are ones that came through the youth ranks (5*!). The other 2 with Anele who impressed whilst I had him, signed him for £3m for Bari and £6m for Lazio. Also Abin Ekdal who they signed after I left for £850k and was hugely impressive so I took him off their hands for £4.4m, however he suffered a broken foot early in the season.

Other major signings were Antoine Greizmann who cost me £11m in the 2014/15 season. With most of the team a bunch of worthless junk when I got here, I replaced a lot of them with promising regens who could be used as backup and developed myself a strong core. Di Fonzo in goal (One of the 5* regens I signed from Bari, cost me £15m). £6m Anele at the back. Ledesma and Ekdal in the midfield. Greizmann and Zarate on the wings with Villi (Other 5* regen I signed from Bari for £8.5m) on his own up front.

8 games in and I'm sitting in 8th place 12 points behind leaders Fiorentina. Jumping on the bandwagon I may make a bid for Borini also
