Re: Football : Season 2009/2010

Apparently we've agreed deals for Wellington Silva (Striker) and Zezinho (Attacking Midfielder), the latter being pictured with an Arsenal shirt:

If true, maybe Wenger has been taking some advice from David Moyes, as both these players are known as "wonderkids" and future legends in FM 2010.

Re: Football : Season 2009/2010

So your saying Wenger gets his scouts to play FM?

I doubt it, but it's possible and probably quite a good idea.

Quote:

Today heralds a new era for football management as Everton Football Club becomes the first club to officially recruit the services of a computer game and its developers as part of their back room team.

In a football and gaming first Everton FC has signed an exclusive deal with Sports Interactive, developers of the football management videogame Football Manager, to give manager David Moyes and his coaches unrivalled access to its database of over 370,000 players and staff. Everton will be able to instantly scan 20,000 active teams in more than 50 countries worldwide with immediate access to the largest scouting network in football with over 1,000 scouts from around the globe.

The game’s original creators Paul and Oliver Collyer have been approached by clubs wanting to sign the game in the past, but this is the first time they have put pen to paper to hand over the game’s database and bring virtual football management into the real world.

Paul Collyer comments:
“The game’s database is a valuable resource with the most extensive scouting network in football so Everton FC is making a top signing. I am personally delighted with today’s announcement as I’m a Toffees fan. Standing on the pitch with my signing on shirt is as close to my boyhood dream of playing at Goodison Park as I will ever get.”

Studio Director Miles Jacobson adds:
“We’ve known for a while that teams use the game to research certain players, whether to buy or to check out the opposition, but this formal recognition by a premiership team is fantastic and we are sure it will prove a fruitful one for the Everton FC.”

Re: Football : Season 2009/2010

Oh my, Utd down by a goal.

Looking at the odds looks like Leeds are fovoured to win it.

---------- Post added at 14:55 ---------- Previous post was at 14:38 ----------

The mighty Utd down & out even with fergie time.

Re: Football : Season 2009/2010

This is a great day for football, Leeds are back to win a cracker, Fergie got his usual five minutes added time, and the dirty tricks by United still could not beat Leeds, well done lads.

Re: Football : Season 2009/2010

Having 7 usual players out plus having donkey up front might have played a part in it.

Hopefully SAF will now be forced to admit we need a striker to accompany Rooney.

I'm surprised you called him donkey in one sentence but then by his last name in the same sentence as Sir Alex Ferguson

Well, it's a great day for the FA Cup, but probably not for football - if this result means that Fergie finally accepts he needs another good striker, it doesn't bode well for everybody else (well, if he ever gets a fit defender anyway...).

EDIT: Ooh look - Ralph's back :D

I didn't use Dimitar's name - that's why I say donkey :confused:

But surely Donkey is the natural partner for Rooney?

Re: Football : Season 2009/2010

l have seen some great football today, l have seen the biased Old Firm game, with some nasty tackles going in some great misses, Celtic need a tougher manager, and sadly Mowbray isn't the man to push Celtic, Then we had the Leeds cracker, and now we just want a another shocker - brilliant football.

Out injured or rested because it was "only leeds"?

Re: Football : Season 2009/2010

Was quite a shock for Leeds to win, but having watched the game they deservered at least a draw.

Will be looking forward to the game on Wednesday ;)
