    Hi All

    Howdy, Sparks How are you lad ?
  2. Real Madrid are ready to open the door for England striker Michael Owen to return to the Premiership. Manchester United are set to head the race with an £11m bid for Owen, according to reports. Owen has been pushed down the pecking order at the Spanish giants following the arrival of Brazilians Robinho and Julio Baptista. Owen's former club Liverpool, Arsenal and Newcastle have also been linked with the 25-year-old forward. A senior source at Real told the Sunday Times they would not stand in Owen's way if they received a bid for him. The source said: "Michael is popular with the fans and he is popular within the club. "But if he comes to us and says he believes the best thing for him is to leave, we will have to respect that. "He has been a great servant to us, we will treat him with the utmost decency and respect. "And in the event that he decides to go, while obviously looking out for our own interests, we will be sure to look out for his too." Despite scoring 16 goals in his first season at Real following his move from Liverpool, Owen spent many games on the bench. And with the World Cup less than a year away, he could decide to move on rather than face the prospect of fighting for a place with Raul, Ronaldo, Robinho and Baptista. A transfer to Manchester United would bring Owen together with his England strike partner Wayne Rooney, although it would prove unpopular with Liverpool fans. Ferguson might have to sell players to finance the move, with midfielders Phil Neville and Kleberson possible candidates along with striker Louis Saha. Arsenal could also be tempted to move for him, having seen Baptista taken from under their noses by Real after coming close to sealing a £14m move. The £7m arrival of Peter Crouch at Liverpool makes it unlikely manager Rafael Benitez would consider taking Owen back to Merseyside. Newcastle are in the market for a striker, but they cannot offer Owen Champions League football.
  3. Stewart Downing...very talentend player only problem is that he plays for the Smoggies.. Jose Maurinho - Very entertaining in Interviews, makes me laugh (I know he's not a fooballer, but still entertaining)

  9. I was looking through the General chat and I remember we had a topic like this on the other board (But can't find one on here) So, I thought I would start: *Sorry if there is already a thread like this (But, I didn't see one)
  10. What's your team Menace? I'm about to start a new game with Tooners..

  13. This is taken from the official FM06 website... Sticky Jimbo? -------------- Increased Tactical Options You can now tweak tactics even further, with options for players to interchange positions, more specific target man instructions and even time wasting! Formation Panel on Match Screen This is an easy way to see the formations of both your team and your competitor at the same time without having to pause the match, so in a live environment. Virtual Player Contracts When managing clubs at the lowest level, the pool of available talent is often a little thin -- this feature now allows you to offer contracts to "Virtual" players that the game generates for teams playing outside the football pyramid in the lower leagues or in your reserve or junior team and therefore give them an opportunity to play on the bigger stage. Snapshot A great new screen in the game that gives you a homepage of all of the info that you need as a manager -- budgets, forthcoming fixtures, a competition overview, team stats and lots more. Key highlights Key highlights are now instantly replayed for those managers who want to pick every move apart. New Shirt Graphics With licenses galore, there will be more real life kits in FM2005 than any previous Sports Interactive football title. Man Of The Match News A new regular news item giving feedback on the man of the match for youth & reserve games, as well as key first team matches. Half-time team talks Half-time team talks add the ability to tell your players individually or collectively exactly what you thought of their first half performance, via the tactics screen. Will you be able to keep your players motivated, or will you cause a collapse in the second half? Board negotiations Managers will be able to negotiate with their board of directors - not only for a better contract for themselves, but also for improved player wage budgets and increased transfer budgets or even stadium expansion. Be aware though, if you push too hard and don't reach the heights that the board specify, you'll soon be looking for a new job. Player management Manage players on a personal level. Unhappy players can cause huge morale problems for the whole squad and result in bad performances, so the new Player Interaction feature will help you to manage your team more closely. New training system A completely revamped training module simplifies training schedules and players' training progress, with your coaches becoming far more important members of backroom staff. Referee profiles With referee profiles and league tables, you can keep a close eye on how many yellow cards the ref looking after your Saturday match has given in the last few matches, which add an extra element to tactics of the game. Maybe hard tackling is not a good idea for this Saturday's match! Position indicator (tactics) A player position indicator will not only show you the best positions for your player and where to play on the pitch, it will also show player preferred moves for those players in your team. As well as this, the Player Positions display format has been upgraded, making it easier for the manager to pick the team. New media elements New media items and expansion of the media module have been implemented, including but not limited to, cup draw news and man of the match news.
