Aiden McGeady

[Whitty]

If it was a choice of:

a ) Moses with Jelavic up front

and

b ) McGeady with a sexy new CF up front

Which would you choose?

Moses and Jelavic

Question here as I don't know, just how accurate is FM with that sort of thing?

I don't know how much i'd trust a computer game with these things.

My mind boggles as to why people judge a player on a kids computer game rating.

That is just my opinion.

Totally agree mate.

As long as they continue to even remotely rate Aiden Mcgeady, I will continue to mistrust them.

It's incredibly well researched, plenty of teams use it for scouting players.

I've heard this before but i'm not sure I beleive it.

Moyes did, it's a different database than the one in the game and clubs have to pay to use it.

Did he though?

FM isnt flawless, but its amazing how many players over the Years they spot at 16/17 and rate highly, who then turn into outstanding talents.

As I say, it isnt flawless, a few years ago Gabriel Obertan was amazing on it.

Kids computer game? Football Manager?




Ok then...

 

[Tubey]

I hope you don't compare everything to Moyes, we have a different manager now, so get over Moyes and get a grip mate.

There's nothing wrong whatsoever in comparing Martinez to Moyes. In fact, it'd be ridiculous if we didn't. It's how you judge his successes and failures.

Martinez has to live up to Moyes' transfer market ability and he has to better him tactically.

Telling Tubey to get over Moyes..... lol

Also, this. ^^ It did make me laugh!

I think so. I imagine lots of clubs use it as a source when scouting, nothing to be embarrassed about.

Remember the first version to have messi in it at i think 15/16 he turned out playing for me in the second divison spain at sabadell before going to leyton orient in the then 4th tier of england at 25 ;p

anderson turned out to get me i think 24 goals one year in the primera league when i bought him at like 17 or so too with sabadell before getting sold to Barca for 58 million at 21 a then world record ;p
