TY, he should be 90 rated soon IMO..so should be a good buy.

is this the same guy who was shit at spurs and derby? better hope the rumours linking him with a return to spurs are wrong or his ratings will probs drop

that's the guy...he's shit hot in Holland ATM and has been for a while...and TBF..his main problem used to be that he was very injury prone.

[gatso]

why was he shit in england? injuries or not physical enough? reckon he'll be any good if he does come back or one of the many who just can't make it in the epl?

I'm wondering if he'll do better for you ratingwise if he stays in holland

yeah I hope he stays in Holland until the end of the season...don't want him moving to the UK right now..I reckon he's just one of many who can't make it here. If he were to go and join Spurs it won't be a good move for him as he'll be playing for Middlesborough or someone like that very soon afterwards...and then he'll drop to Championship level.

Should still get a big ratings increase in soccermanager soon though as he's been very good while he was in Holland.

boldie, u know much about Sarpong from Ajax?

boldie, u know much about Sarpong from Ajax?

he was rated very highly at one stage...don't think he's a first team player now though, is he?

[boldie]

p.s. Can we not have people manage Chelski, Real/arsenal/Manu and those teams in this gameworld? It means that every single talent I want to buy from them is off the market all of a sudden and it's doing my head in....seriously doing my head in as I had targets with these clubs and now all of a sudden Managers have applied for those jobs and I can't buy any of their players.

I don't know if it's possible or not but if it is possible to keep these clubs free that'd be grand.

edit...looks a weird post.

Can we keep the clubs managerless and not have people apply to run those? is my question.

Every second day or so I go through rejecting all the applications to manage all the top clubs. So shouldn't be a problem there.

I heard Sarpong was playing consistently.

I haven't watched Ajax play in a while...but his stats say he sisn't (ESPN website and all that)..he is an excellent prospect though...ah..just noticed why he hasn't played. According to one of the websites he just made his comeback in the youth team (must have been injured). The guy will do very well at Ajax though.

Thanks for rejecting all them applications mate, didn't know if you were or not...the effort is greatly appreciated.

[boldie]

hmm..a transferbid that I placed yesterday doesn't look like going through in time for tonight's game...bit of a bugger..

ah..it's probably because a manager has applied for the job again.

How often does that happen Scotty?..Must be driving you nuts.

The fans at Valley Parade are more than happy with the start to the season, seeing the club with an average rating of just 75, which is one of the lowest in the division, up in 7th in the league, just a point away from the playoffs.

This has been put down to the shrewd tactical ability of young manager Brent Horner who will be hopeful of another 3 points away at 19th place Bristol Rovers this evening playing their infamous 4-4-1-1 formation.

Bradford are by far the richest team in the division, currently boasting a bankroll of £18.3m having not bought a single player for over a season and a half. We asked Horner to comment on this matter and he had this to say; "Last year it was all about building the balance whilst we stayed in the football league. This season i was tempted to invest in some players, but will not risk the financial future of this football club by making stupid purchases on players who are past it on absurd wages. Look at Rochdale, the manager is risking the future of his club by trying to re-invent people's careers, its an utterly mindless display from manager Richard Hare. There are people's careers at stake there, fans dreams". "This is not to say i won't look at getting a few players on board soon, but i will never leave myself with a bankroll of under £5m, never".

Bradford's playmaker, captain, set piece taker, their everything, is 18 year old Aaron Ramsey. Bought as a 17 year old with an average rating of just 74 for £950,000, a year on he is rated 84 and worth £8.5m.
