Thread for posting your best finds. You can post any player you have bought, so long as they have done well for you, but the more obscure players are preferred. We all know C. Ronaldo would be a good buy - you dont have to tell us!

Keep posts to the following format if possible:

Name:
Nationality
Starting Club:
Age:
Position:
Approx Price to Buy: (either the price you paid, or just a description like "very cheap")
Suitable For: (for example: "top division clubs", "conference sides" etc)
Notes: Any other important information, examples could include "difficult to get a work permit for british clubs" or "only good for a couple of seasons, perfect for promotion attempts" or "takes a long time to develop, but worth it" etc. Dont bother telling us things we can easily see from the stats, for example "excellent at free kicks" or "very fast" would not be necessary.)

I'll post a few very soon.

Oh, one more thing, dont bother making a new post for every player but try to keep to a max of three or four per post.

Or that. He just rocks. Everyone buy him.

Here is a budget striker for you who are managing top-division relegation candidates or Dutch/Belgian clubs:

http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/7541/agoudaof3.png

Starts the game at the Swiss club St.Gallen. Kobenhaven purchased him for 500k after 3 seasons in my game.

He looks like a total pussy.

Charles Doudin is a cracking little striker for lower league clubs. Costs around 15k from La-Chaux-de-Fonds

Here's another low-budget young talent. Estonian playmaker Eino Puri from Levadia. Birmingham picked him up for 250k after 2 seasons in my game.
