uh....... anyone want to come to Russia?!

I'm CSKA and I figured it wouldn't be SO difficult to get players to come here, but it's borderline impossible!! So far I've been turned down by Mokoena, Scurto, Legrottaglie, Lewandowski, Gift Leremy, Giovanny Hernandez, Hakan Yakin, and Benedict Vilakazi.

When it comes to Scurto, Legrottaglie, and Yakin, these guys aren't playing at ALL, but they don't want to come to a CL team that happens to be in Russia. Even that damn Colombian Hernandez won't come here!! And three South Africans turned me down!! I know Russia isn't great, but we're Champions League and surely we're better than South Africa!

So I'm at a loss, I don't know what to do because I get turned down by everyone. Does anyone know some good players that are willing to come to Russia that would also pack at least a little star power or at least immediate impact?

PS: Niko Kranjcar just snubbed me too.

I would try looking for young eastern european and azian players. They're most likely to not mind about playing in the anonymity of Russia.

I'm sorry I don't get the joke, was that a shot at Sporting? But those are Porto players. Whatever, I've went through about 10 asian and african national teams looking for young players and sent my scouts around the globe. After this game I'll have a bunch of players to recommend. It's amazing, I have over 10 million euros to spend, but no one wants to come here! I'm hoping Ali Karimi comes; if he's good enough for Bayern, he's good enough for me.... but I don't think he'll come.

Maniche and Costinha went about a month ago from Porto to CSKA Moscow for unclear and strange reasons.

Weird. I don't think they'd come to me in FM though because I don't have oil sponsorship money and no Russian Mafia ties.

PS: Ali Karimi won't leave his United Arab Emirates club Al Ahly to come to CSKA because he doesn't think I'm the right coach to help his career.

PPS: Just made my first signing!!!! Feng Xiaoting. 19 year old Chinese central defender, looks decent. I'm still pissed Karimi turned me down, he could have really helped.

Adu would probably go there if nobody else has snapped him up yet as he joined my Plymouth side in a previous game. Scorza is also a good young prospect. He joined my Torquay side and was worth 7 million pounds within 3 seasons.

Forza Suarez! (ps brotha can you spare a dime?)
Kerzakhov? If you need a striker, look for this guy, he's Russian, forgot what team he plays for.

Strange, yes but unclear? They did it for the money.

I think Maniche and Costinha didn't want to go but they were forced because of the network Abramovich and friends have been setting up in the past years(Corintians, Chelsea, PSV, CSKA Moscow, Porto, Benfica and Sporting seem to be in this network).

i doubt Sporting are in that network because they've always had close ties with Man Utd.

Cool. Chinese youth NT captain IRL. :)

I can tell you a couple more promising Chinese youngsters that you should check out. Zhou Haibin (AM C), Zhao Xuri (DM C), and Chen Tao (AM/F RC I think). Zhou Haibin becomes very good all around with almost everything above 10 or around 15, and he is only 19 I think at the beginning. Chen Tao will have over 15 in finishing, long shots, PK, and such more goalscoring stats and high mental stats, and Zhao Xuri is similar to Zhou Haibin, he becomes very balanced. All 3 of these players are also on the youth NT IRL that just played in Holland. Zhao Xuri scored the 89th minute volley against Turkey, and Chen Tao scored both goals against Germany in the loss.

Also, Sun Xiang is a decent right back if you need one.

PS: like others said, I think you can find lots of good talent in Eastern European countries that will sign for you. Check out Ukrainian players for example, Dynamo Kiyv has alot of decent youngsters.

Weird, I've made two signings so far. Feng, and CHEN TAO!! I had this Romanian defender who got a serious knee injury like the day before Feng came to the club, Feng stepped into the DC position and I don't think he's ever going to lose it. Great player! Chen Tao is in my reserves because I just don't think he's quite where I need him to be for Champions League Football, but once I sell Ivica Olic (end of the season to Porto) I think he'll be brought up to the big squad. Thank god for China otherwise I wouldn't be able to sign anyone!

And while i'm updating, I've now been turned down by all the promising youngsters from Israel, so I can add them to the list.

ShiftyPowers, have you tried South Americans? If Cavenaghi can play for some Russian club, surely a player with a lesser reputation will join you. Try to go for players in Swiss League and Eastern european ones.
