I’m grateful for the advice Ahmed, I always think that it’s a good thing to share thoughts with other people. As for the Boro players, I’ve tried over and over again to get Emnes on loan but first he didn’t want to come and now Boro don’t agree to send him on loan. I guess Blyth have a low reputation so the better players don’t wish to come on loan to us I could bring only 2 decent players on loan from Boro and that’s not good enough, so I’ll try to find another parent club. Anyway, having a few players on loan from the parent club is always good because they pay their wages indeed, 100%. Now I’m beginning to write the post about the second part of the season, so maybe we’ll comment more after that.

Nah, I didnt reckon you posted that stuff about Boro. But Middlesbrough are ok, though…I mean, you dont have to pay those players’ wages who you bring in on loan from your parent clubs, do you ? So try getting a few fringe players like Jonathan Grounds, Marvin Emnes on loan from them (I know that it might not be right to be giving advice to a class FM09 manager like you, so sorry about that).

I replaced Swansea with Middlesbrough, I’m not sure if I wrote that in a post or not. Anyway, I’m looking to replace Middlesbrough too since I don’t have many options in their reserve squad. I have two players on loan from them right now but they are not way better than my own players so I only use them as backup for the first team.

If I remember correctly, your parent club is Swansea, right ? Why dont you try to make a bigger and better club your parent club ? You managed to persuade Manchester United and Juventus to be your parent clubs with Chester. Try requesting Arsenal to be your parent club, they have some really good Reserve and Youth players like Rui Fonte, Fran Merida etc.

Hello Ahmed! To be honest I didn’t expect to be anywhere near the first place myself… In my game Zuculini is playing for Napoli now, they bought him last summer from Sampdoria for 19 million euro! Since the highest transfer budget I had so far was 20,000 euro I guess I can’t dream about such players right now, maybe a few seasons from now when we’ll hopefully be in Coca-Cola Championship. And yes, the second part of the third season story will be posted tonight!
