Blue Moon Rising - My Manchester City Story

Nice, if you don't mind can you post the attributes page of the Italian player you bought from Juventus and the next Micahael Owen one? I want to see the shape of thei attributes in the attributes page cos I suck at judging players just buy looking at numbers.

Iacopo Cambi




Devante Cole "dubbed the new Michael Owen"

Thanks for the pics, if Iacopo Cambi was a winger he would be the best Italian winger I know, I don't know any Italian wingers who are really good even in real life. However I think your Devante Cole is really just an above average youth in my standards, I don't think he will be as good as Micahael Owen even after his injury unless you play him a lot or he gets a sudden boostin development. Maybe you should use your scouts to check the youth candidates in every European and South American clubs so next time you pay only 500k-2.5m for a future star.

I just go an idea, maybe you should sign Michale Owen to tutor Devante Cole.

Dude can you show the picture of your transfer history. I just want to see if you really signed Torress and Ibra on loanwith really low future fees for players like them. Btw I think your team has too many attacking players, how do you give enough games for all of them? Maybe you should invest more on your defence,Kompany and Jagielka are good but I think in your game they are already in their early 30s and possibly in skill decline, maybe you should use your transfer skills to buy players like Pique or Chillani really cheaply or get some future world class.

If in his game, Kompany is early 30's then, and I'm guessing you mean Chiellini from Juve, will be just as old, and Pique from Barca is only a year younger than Kompany and and a few younger than Jagielka so he will be hitting skill decline soon after he bought them.

If you want a good young centre back you should take a look at Kyriakos Papadopoulus, Greek international and about 5/6 years younger than Kompany and Pique.

Yeah uy right, I thought Chiellini and Pique was 5-3 years younger than Kompany, the Greek guy is good and cost around 10-20mil in first season but I heard in Craig's game season he costs as much as 44 mil :P, Rafael Toloi is a much cheaper alternative and maybe Phil Jones too, Benedik Howedes and Chris Smalling should be nearing their peak or can still improve a lot and probably cheaper than Greek guy(too much trouble spelling his name) although I can't see craig buying Smalling off MU.

Yes, Rafael Toloi and that greek guy would be some good guys to get, because a few of your games you conceded too many goals in my opinion.

Yeah I hate it when I have a strong squad but still concede goals
Gonna sell alot of players this season!

that kyriakos papadopolous is alright . but his composure and concentration stat are not that great

Lol he's gonna play his PSP in the middle of the match.

After the teams dominating win the Manchester City fans did their new trademark Poznan

After a few days after the result against Bristol City I applied for the Serbian and Italian national job, was both wanted by the national team but i opted for the Italians. A new challenge for me as this is the first National Team I have managed in FM12. Calls up for Mario Balotelli as they lack a striking force.
