[ngyc]

anyone decent left back? i looking replacement for silvestre

 

[rpvankasteren]

Look into Billy Jones from Crewe. Very young, and highly gifted. Also, he can play R, L, and C. Or maybe Christoffer Andersson from Lillestrøm, who can play R and L, and dominate the entire wing from D to AM/F (also, he should be a lot cheaper).

price doesn't matter now. i got lots of money but i prefer young player < 25 years old

 

[rpvankasteren]

If money really doesn't matter, Philipp Lahm from Stuttgart

 

[ngyc]

NATIONALITY: German
CLUB: Shalke
VALUE (that they will sell at): 300,000 Pound Sterling
VERSION: 5.0.5

COMMENTS: Solid left back. Pretty much have everything above 15. He rotates with Wayne Bridge on my game. Plus he has potential to grow a wee more.

 

[Zlatan]

AGE: 27
NATIONALITY: English
CLUB: None
VALUE: 0,0(a.k.a transfer free)

[Hopeunited]

Name: Chinedum Onuoha
Age: 18
Club: Manchester City
Position: D C
Fee: contract is not protected I think, approach to sign and maybe a compensation of up to 1 mil pounds
Version: 5.0.5
Database: Normal
Comments: talented young English center back, in my game he wanted to leave ManCity so I approached him and signed him, but had to compensate City with 1 mil.

 

[Hopeunited]

Name: Miso Brecko
Nationality: Slovenian
Age: 20
Club: Hamburg SV
Position: D/DM R
Fee: ~1 mil pounds
Version: 5.0.5
Database: Normal
Comment: very skilled young full back, many stats above 15, always getting 7 or 8 for rating. Scored 2 goals for me half way through the 2nd season already. He was having problems with HSV so I lured him out with 500k.

[nird]

Philipp Lahm D/DM RL - FC Bayern
PAtrice Evra D/DM L - Monaco

you get them for £10-£15, they become the best RB and LB in the game

 

[Daz]

yep, i always try to get both

btw - you better add "m"s to the end of the £10 and £15's

 

[Hopeunited]

Name: Freddy Guarin
Position: DM RC
Nationality: Colombian
Age: 18 I think
Price: not sure, should be around 1 mil?
Comments: caught my in the FIFA Youth WC in real life, hes a young superstar in this game, great all around and has his amazing long shots like IRL. Signed him in 2008 so I'm not sure what his value was at the beginning...

 

[adam jansen]

Name: Mikael Dorsin
Age: 22
Club: Rosenborg
Position: D L
Fee: 2.8m
Version: 5.0.0
Database: Small !
Comments: Excellently dependable left back, who does exactly what it says on the tin. Dont expect him to bomb forward much, but stops almost all wingers from getting intothe game. Does get a bit money hungry after a few seasons though!

 

[PSVFOREVER]

Philipp Lahm D/DM RL - FC Bayern
PAtrice Evra D/DM L - Monaco

Nah, Dede is by far better than Evra
