My Manchester United Story FM12

Hi victoras15 I signed Mario Götze from Borussia Dortmund for 55 million and Eden Hazard from Lille for 36 million.


this has been running through my mind for a while....I have tried to recreate your save as best as possible....I have never done so once or twice winning as much if not more comps etc than you....the question I have though is how is it possible you spent that much money on the two of them?? Manchester United don't have that much money in game in the first place from what I've seen......

basically how did you come up with the money to sign the two of them for £55mil and £36mil?????

Basically I brought Götze for 20 Million and the rest in instalments and Hazard for 20 million and the rest in instalments. The reason I did this was because I don't plan to spend hardly any money in the next 2-3 seasons unless I get some money (like the Evra - Alba deal)

Transfer News – Signed up a couple of youth players for my academy. They are Jamie Clement (ST), Jimmy Sarcevic (DR), Keith Parkinson (ML) and Russell Ballard (GK). Overall I was a poor group with these four the only real contenders to become first team players. I was however very happy with Sarcevic and Clement –

Took the lead through Fletcher then Agüero equalized. I then went ahead when Heitinga scored an own goal, then it all went wrong. Lindegaard picked up a knock so I brought De Gea on and Man City scored three times in ten minutes. I ended up losing the games 4-2.
