Football Manager 2008 Good new players

[kizroll]

Hello my other FM2008 managers!

Well so far this year i havent been abel to find a gem so far but im sure some of you have allready. just wanted 2 start a FM2008 player review thread to share good young players, barging purchases( bosman or cheap fees) with eachother

[dannoble82]

dudu carense (brazilian am) he has won player of the month for me at west ham almost every other month cost me ariound 4.2m from cska moscow

If your playing in league one you can sign songo on loan from portsmouth for the right wing and snap jody morris up on a free transfer and they will both perform well for you.

I'll let you guys do the searching for these players in-game but they are all young and most pretty cheap.

Henri Saivet, Ever Banega, Fernando Belluschi (7m), Lulinha, Breno, Falcao.

A good player available at the start on a free is Ignashevich, a right sided defender. Adriano can be had for 10m at the start of the game too but must be done before his squad status changes. Either that or you can loan him.

Oh yeah, Silva from Valencia is immense but costs an absolute fortune. Goran Pandev can be had for around 12-13m and is quite good.

As for keepers, pretty much the same as 07. Akinfeev, Ustari and Lloris all good young keepers. Don't expect to get them cheap though.

Pro-G: So as creator of the game, what's your inside tip on some really good young players people should buy in the game?

MJ: Well I was absolutely gutted when AC Milan bought Alex Pato because him on a free transfer would have been absolutely astonishing but they ended up buying him for quite a lot of money. I don't like giving too much of this stuff away. We are going to release the names of some players for people to watch out for. I've got to go through and make sure that I keep some of them for myself for when I'm playing networked games.

Pro-G: Can you give us one?

MJ: OK, I'll give you a centre back, definitely worth picking up, he'll be difficult to get because of work permit problems - a centre back called David who's playing in Brazil, he's a young Brazilian guy. He is rock solid. Certainly good enough for a Championship team in the first year and good enough for the Premier League in the second year. I'll give you a midfielder as well. Hatem Ben Arfa who's a player who's been a bit of a legend in FM for the last couple of years because he does get good further down the line. He's now good from the off. There are some very, very good young players out there in the real football world and that's why they're good inside the game as well.

Definatly worth a browse in the Brazil U20s squad loads of little gems there and 2nd season all the Big european teams start sniffing round them!

We know how Wenger scouts and what he got for his birthday.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is chasing £40m-rated Lyon forwards Karim Benzema, 19, and Hatim Ben Arfa, 20. (The Sun)

lulinha, sergio mota and thiago are all amazing. i'm sunderland and inter arsenal chelseas etc are all sniffing around them trying to buy them from me. thiago will cost about 6 million though, but he's worth it, check out the stats. (the thiago i mean isn't the barca one, he's only about 17 at the start and playing in brazil, he's a striker with amazing stats).

[steve10574]

Mauro Zarate legend!!

right at begining of game you can get him for 3-5 mill even thou it says he is 11mill

top scorer every season so far and never moans

also u20 brazil wellington or something again very good play him behind two strikers
