Anyone got someone called Bhongo Jayiya in their game?

South African striker? And is he any good?

Yeah I came across him in my South African career. Didn't get much of a look in for the national team but always performed well in the South African premiership and eventually got a move to the Eredivisie I think.

[Jackk!]

Just realised that some of the 18-23 year olds that have been on loan last season are actually good enough to be in the first team this season, a couple of them even making an impact on Serie A.

Squad is going to be huge - I'll need to sort it out, don't like sending players out for 2 full consecutive seasons on loan.

[Jackk!]

First team squad is going to be roughly 26-29 players next season with about 20 youth players on the fringes and as backups. Going to be a big squad.

Numbers aren't definite as I don't know who will be available in the summer and what my budget will be.

[Jackk!]

The team made up for the horrific 4-0 loss to Lazio by smashing them 5-0 in the Italian Cup Final, to give me my first silverware and the Italian Cup comes back to Juventus for the second season in a row.

Jacare got a double, as did substitute Ricky van Wolfswinkel, the other goal came from an OG.

[Jackk!]

Juventus' financial future seems pretty bleak.

After improving our league position by 3 places and getting back into the Champions League, we named 5 new sponsorship deals, but now the total value of Sponsorship is just over £500k less compared to last season.

Chairman Pavel Nedved has brought in a £47m loan, meaning our Club Loans now total £135.5m (which is more than at the start of the season iirc). With monthly payments of £812k until 2035 then about £310k for a further four years to pay it off.

Transfer Revenue made available has increased from 10% to 30%, so losing so many players on a free wasn't the best idea and I'll probably look to sell a couple more player, although I hope to generate a lot more ticket revenue this season.

I've had my initial budgets in;
Wage: £2.2m/week (Current Spend: £1.47m/week)
Transfer: £37.66m

I'd pre-arranged lots of deals using last seasons budgets, so I don't think I'll need to buy alot this summer, although I may bring in some youth.

--

In general news, I've turned down offers from Bayern Munich and Man Utd this summer and interest from Ajax to stay at Juventus arena.
I'm also rejecting bid after bid from City, Liverpool and Man Utd for my young Latvian youth international Fjodorovs who should be on the fringes of the first-team this season (lightning quick winger).

Ranieri (Inter) retired this summer after winning consecutive Serie A titles, so I'm hoping that'll unsettle the club enough to surrender the title to me.

Just been given £77.02m for Serie A TV rights, the club balance now stands at £70m.

Wish they would just use £50m to spunk towards loans and I'll do the rest with month to month profit/(loss).

Got a £45.5m transfer budget for the season after saying I'll mount a title challenge, going after Erik Novak who I missed out on before, between him and Carlos Fierro I expect us to be scoring 5 goals a week.

I face Inter in the Super Cup final, I beat them 2-0 last year. Good times.

[Joey™]

Fierro is still a beast Jack. I signed him for City but put him in the reserves because of Aguero and Dzeko, he scores a hat-trick a game! I wanted to sign his compatriot Erik Torres who has better stats, but I thought having the pair of them in the reserves would be too much. I'm hoping I can send him out on loan in January and then get him into the first team next season.

Getting some solid results after playing Adler rather than Hart, won the Club World Cup beating Santos 6-1 (Neymar scored their 1). Still in the Champions League, knocked out of the Coca-Cola Cup and through to the 4th round of the FA Cup.

Need to sign a left back to replace Clichy/Kolarov and a right back to replace the ageing Srna. At the moment it's looking like Jack Robinson from Liverpool and Montoya from Barcelona will be the ones I sign, but watch this space.

[Tom.]

Gunna start a game with a few african leagues and that so anyone know the best downloads for African Leagues?

My game keeps crashing on June 30th, so I guess I'll never find out!

[KD95]

What a striker Jamie Murphy WOULD be if he stopped trying to lob the keeper, could easily be on about 16 goals after 16 games.

On the upside my defensive frailties appear to have sorted themselves out by inserting Ross Perry instead of Francisco Pavon, now need to try and find a buyer for him.

On other transfer news:
Oyvind Hoas is on his way out after failing to make an impact. Cost me £200k and I'm getting £150k for him, and John Rankin is away to Doncaster for £20k.
John Guidetti will join on loan until the end of the season with a view to a pre-contract move. He hasn't made a first team appearance for City yet so I'm hopeful of securing him on the long-term and Paul Hanlon also joins for £150k.

Edit to add: Guidetti will probably be my last 'foreign' purchase. I intend to try and start nationalistic management, and looking back I've actually done quite well. So far I have bought/loaned Maurice Ross, James Forrest, Ross Forbes, Jamie Murphy, Ross Perry, Garry O'Connor and Scott Brown.

So, when I go to start a new game I get this:



Does that mean that I am still playing on version 12.0.0? I can't change the think that says default and in other screens it says that I am on version 12.1.1...

If anyone knows what I might have done wrong, our possibly haven't done, please help me

[Tom.]

mines like that too. been wondering same

[MartinPalermo9]

Same happens with mine?
Also does anyone know where that Sergi 16 year old spanish guy is nowadays? I cant remember what FM it was but im just curious

[KD95]

Only hurdle between us and winning the league is beating Rangers twice and not losing to Celtic twice. Not lost to Celtic in my tenure at Dundee Utd, but not beat Rangers.

Oh and Scott Brown is going huge. Free transfer with an average rating of 7.39 and a net worth of £1.3m.

There hasn't been a data update yet, hence the database is still the original 12.0.

[Jackk!]

Any bitches that know anything about crash dumps?

If so, PM me.

I was wondering that because scout keep coming after one day and I thought that was fixed...

[MartinPalermo9]

Is it possible to win the Asian champions league with an Australian club?

[Redwar]

Adelaide United were in the 2008 final so I would say yes.

[MartinPalermo9]

Suppose what I meant to say is it capable in football manager because the squads are pretty poor.
