How the hell did Gretna was able to convince Wiltord to come and play and Scotland? Is your club cashed up?
He's 33.

We're now second in the league, but next game is at Celtic.

Celtic 3 Gretna 5 - we let them back from 3-0 but killed them on the break in the last 10 minutes :D

Still, in 2nd, 3 points off Rangers (who just beat us with a deflected goal) - but 9 points clear of 3rd, so maybe it's CL football for us.

I've been thinking of selling my No. 2 who is England's first choice. He's too good for reserves but not good enough to be a regular. He starts about 25% to 30% of the games though. I've been thinking of replacing him with a veteran who isn't in need of games to develop as my No. 2 is in need of.Also, been pondering about one of my forwards. With Tevez, Samba, Rooney and Ruud he's not really needed.I've got some good young guys if one of them goes down though.

See they've announced details of FM2006 - they are going to release a version for the PSP aswell
So have I, and I'm impressed.

No too many changes except you can check out the ref and see how many yellow and reds he has given, how many penalties he has given in recent games for the home and away game. You can also negogiate your own contract with the club you are managing, there is changes to training and see what the staff are good, plus you can give team talks.

Heard on another forum it is going to be released in November, but it is probably going to be release it in October.

Latest date I heard for release is 4th November (provisionally) - guess I know what I'll be getting for my birthday then :D

Uninstall it and try again perhaps.

Or buy the new version (FM not CM 5) if you can afford it.

Started a new game and I am managing Liverpool in FM2005. Only got 4.6m to spend, but after a few player sales I'm trying to get Robinho from Santos, I'm waiting for WP and I am hopefull he will get one. I have Cisse, Baros, and Luis Garcia as my strikers, so I need one more.

I play a 4-4-2 formation with two holding midfielders as it best suits my team. I don't have anybody to play in the hole so I don't play a diamond. I tried it in a friendly with Harry Kewell and he got a 10 but that was against the might of Chester.

after a big spending summer at chelsea i was dismayed to discover that after agreeing a fee for patrick vieira with arsenal that the board would not allocate me sufficient funds to pay for his wages, which i thought was ridiculous, i had to settle for renato from sevilla instead. Other signings included the steal for joaquin from betis for 14 million. Varela is currently being lined up to come in as another signing. I am in my second season now with an aim to overturn arsenal as league champions after they went the last season un-beaten knocking me out of the champions league in the semi-finals in the process and beating me in the FA cup final.

I have reverted to a 4-1-3-1-1 formation as part of a tactical master stroke.
the team is :

Cech

Ferreira
Mexes
Terry(c)
Daniel Alves

Renato

Robben
Lampard
Joaquin

Julio Baptista

Fernando Torres

any suggestions for my impending season? (bearing in mind that this is cm5:p)

haha funny you should say that, torres did bag 55 goals for me last season in all comps :p

and i think a formation of 0-0-11 would be much more appropriate :p hehehe

Been trying to sell Bullock and Hussaine but the only offers accepted so far are insubstantial. I'll be waiting till the January window then to let them go along with Ferdinand and Huth. Ferdinand didn't like me warning him over his substandard play and red card so when he wanted out I gladly obliged. I took the action of warning mostly because he's captain and so needs to set an example. So far Spector has been doing well in his place. That makes my current line up, having chabged to 4-4-2 from 4-1-2-1-2(which was working brilliantly just wanted to shake things up and no probs so far):

Schmeichel

Johnson
de la Cuesta
Mexes
Spector

Ronaldo
Richardson
Iniesta(c)
Gilder

Rooney
Samba

A guy in my Liverpool team Richie Partridge who was valued at 1.7m, his stats aren't too special, but I gave him a new contract, he has been playing well and his value is shotting up.

IRL he had a good 6 months at Coventry on loan before fading away and disappearing when he went back to Anfield.
