Been offered £44m from Manchester City for Marouane Fellaini. He's a class act but there are players on the transfer list who I could bring in and still make a profit. Fellaini has 4.5* CA and I could bring in Oscar (4*) and Kevin Strootman (4*) for a combined £30M, leaving £14m profit. I also have a budget already of £33m and I'm planning on brining in Ashley Young for £7m. What do I do bros?
I'm playing as Everton (3rd season) and I rejected £48m from United for him in the summer. Do regret it in a way.

I'm just entering the third season and I've let him go. Have the chance to sign Pato for £22m but my scouts don't rate him that highly and he's rather injury prone, think ill try and sign him anyway though. How has your sage with Everton been? Won anything? May I have a screenie of your squad? Also, what are your finances like?
Yeah, I'd steer clear of Pato. I'm at work atm so can't upload a pic but I will do later.
Not won anything, lost F.A cup final first year to Arsenal and finished 9th and 7th in my two full seasons.
Finances are ok, just had 18m to spend this summer, I've offloaded big earners such as Jelavic, Pienaar, Howard and Neville. I set up like this:
Ospina
Johansson Heitinga Milosevic Baines
Felli Wolff-Eikrem
Weiss Green/Barkley Nem
Lacina Traore/Ademilson
Landed Traore and Ospina free to replace Howard (£2m) and Jelavic (£6.75m), Weiss was free and Wolff cost £1.2m. George Green is becoming a top class player. Pleased overall.
If we win the CL (in the final against Bayern) I think I'll take up the job, like the sound of restoring a fallen giant. Not going to win the league with Barca though because we've fallen too far behind Real Madrid so don't know whether to stay on and try and win back La Liga or just leave.
You not playing your Everton save anymore? Just won the CC and Euro Cup third season, pics coming.
DeNiro you let Barkley go for 7m?! I know he doesn't turn out to be the greatest but he is a great squad player and is worth 15m on my save. Also the added bonus that he is home grown. Been going very slowly on my save, ain't even played the euro super cup yet, just been having breaks from FM plus been out alot more etc
He had been moaning for a while about not playing first team football, he's not as good as Wellington Nem, George Green (homegrown), Will Hughes or James Rodriguez in that position so I had no room for him. I will also get 30% of any future sale so I was pleased overall.

Ahh right thats fair enough then, have you had any good regens come through your academy yet? I still havent had any decent home grown regens and its frustrating, I'm improving the facilities as much as possible and don't know what else I can do!
Yeah I have had 1-2 a year so far, I'll post a pic up when i'm home from work.
It's fairly even for me due to the top one not having as good mental stats, but due to his age they will improve and I think he will become the better player.
Started as AC Milan and if none of you know, I bloody hate having high earning players. Anything over £60k is very, very rare for me. So, I sold a ton of players because I wanted rid of all the rubbish that AC have to replace it with my own cheaper, younger and better players. Except for my goalkeepers which you'll see in a little bit.
So I sold Robinho and Abate to Chelsea for a combined fee of 22.5m. All the rest of the rubbish (inc. Abbiati, Antonini, Ambrosini, Flamini, Yepes, Mexes, Bonera, Mesbah and Emmanuelson) went to various other clubs for between £2m-£5m. Unfortunately I couldn't get rid of Pato. He's on 105k a week!
Now for the replacements. I only got 50% of those transfer fees and started with £2m which mean that I had around £19.5m to sign a GK, RB, LB, CB, CB, RW, LW, CF. That obviously wasn't going to happen.
Playing Sevilla in the Europa League Quarter Final 1st Leg at their ground. Scored in the 12th minute, disallowed. Just how is this offside!? Muniain the player in question btw.
EDIT: Now I know I'm being robbed. Lewandowski's just been ruled offside for another legitimate goal
I dropped my laptop and the bastard won't turn on so I appear to have lost my Everton save 5 seasons in . Logged into my steam account on my other laptop and downloaded FM again but the saves aren't there, hoped they would be saved onto my steam account.
Sold Robinho (£20m) & Pato (£10m) and replaced them with Iker Muniain (£39m) which is saving me £160k a week in wages.
Couldn't offload Mexes but nearly swapped him for Zouma plus £15m but Mexes rejected them, bastard.
How bad are Milan's finances? £39M for Muniain? I personally wouldn't have paid that much, but good luck with developing him. £20M for Robinho's fantastic though. You should sack Mexes btw, Zouma turns out brilliantly.
The finances are woeful and the squad needs rebuilding.
£39m was Iker' release claus, I've wated to have him on the game for a while. He's quick, agile, can finish and dribble so seems perfect to partner Pazzini. I think he can become a club legend and I fancied a change from the usual Ademilson etc. Although I did sign Nem.
I paid half up front, half over 48 months for him so could be in trouble if I don't finish high enough but I've started well.
I'll go back for Zouma if I can flog Mexes in January, good player but pockets 100k a week+
I'm playing the diamond midfield that Milan are/were famous for:
Decided to start as Everton as the seem to pose a good challenge.
Couldn't get a top DoF so I brought in German Christian Nerlinger, first things he did were to accept a £22.5m for Fellaini and then a £24.5m bid for Baines, so hopefully I'll be able to strengthen key areas with these sales. I'm trying to bring in Bressan on a pre-contract from BATE but am facing stiff competition from Anderlecht.
Never sell those.
When I was Everton I rejected £50m for Felli.
I won the EURO cup, F.A cup and Super Cup in 4 years and they both made the success. Baines was captain.
