Default FM irl

can you wonder if you are Mourinho, and most likely with a £70m budget to buy what you want, what would you do?

if Zlatan is not sold then i would try to bring Essien, almost impossible so i would bring Cahill ( £15m), Hengeland (£10m+ i would borrow them some shit),Drogba (£5m if not for free) and cardoso(£25m).

josé doesnt do more then 4 signs a year so that would be enough in my point of view to challenge for CL.

Of course Essien would be my dream.

You?

Andrew Surman (15m), Chris Perry (30m), Bradley Wright-Phillips (5m) and Wayne Thomas (20m.)

Of course David McGoldrick would be my dream but that just aint gonna happen.

O'Shea - £40m. 10 players all rolled into one average player. Bargain.
Nani - £25m. Brainless winger who likes to shoot.


The other £5m can be spent on a big booze up at the end of the season when the 2 players listed above tear the league to pieces and the rest of Europe.

In a world where Drogba costs £5 million and Oscar "who he?" Cardozo costs £25 million, I reckon he should buy Razak Pimpong and Danny Cadamarteri.

I didn't even realise Cadamarteri is still playing. I assumed he'd have become a binman, or a drug dealer by now.

Fucking hell, can't believe he played 92 times for Everton. I thought it was about 15-20.

Pimpong is far too good for Inter, he played for FC Copenhagen after all.

Part exchange deal - Utaka for Balotelli & £5m

That ought to do it.

Nah, we'd get £15m-£20m for Drogba were we to sell - which I increasingly think we won't.

I'd buy all those russians with ridiculous stats for cheap dough. Oh, and Dario Srna. Then i'd play 10 games and forget to save until my pc crashes and then leave it for about 4 weeks as the thought of having to sign all my players, do all my training schedules etc again will be too much. I'll play pro evo instead.
