Had that Saivet kid before. Guadardo (sp) is another that was good in the game. Think he had a spell in one of the big leagues and didn't really make it though.

 

[Scottoffee]

Saiviet's quality, managed France once and him and Higuain (who was at Everton in '12!) were absolutely unstoppable... Usually try and sign Ochoa if I've got the cash

Just started again recently and I'm proud to say though that I have Andy van der Meyde in my RW Essen team - might go awol for Oktoberfest, but only on 8k wages... Also grabbed Friedel (got him + 6m for Geoffrey Jourdren), Warnock (they got relegated), Hangeland (them too) & Tymoschuk (free) along with a bunch of no-names.

Top young player's at the moment are my token Brazilians Michel Schmoller (DC/DM), Ilsinho (D/WBR) & Goran Slavkoski (a 6'3" Macedonian ST that's faster than Agbonlahor).

Damn it, I'm off to play.

 

[bluebloodinmyveins]

I wonder if clubs now lay off their scouts because of Football Manager?

 

[Cal]

Heard of them all really as my footballing knowledge is probably world class.

 

[NeoNaoNeo]

I know a few of the old FM favourites are starting to come good on the World Stage these days. Players like Aguero, Bojan, Matias Fernandez, Akinfeev. They're all coming through.

Still waiting on Nicolas Millan though xD.

Also, Yury Zhirkov and Darijo Srna are amazing on this years FM. Zhirkov especially.

 

[thevertonman1992]

There's a hot prospect who plays for Bucaramenga in Colombia ; Sherman Andres Cardenas. Also, Sebastian Zuniga who plays for Aux Italiano in Chile....they seem to always be future hot shots on FM

Zhirkov's a wonderful player. I'd love to have him at Everton.

Zhirkov's a wonderful player. I'd love to have him at Everton.

I would cream in my pants if we signed him.
