Amazing. How then do people expect to look at whether a player was given enough opportunities without stats? Appearances is a statistic. Okay people help me out here. How else could you tell whether a player was given a fair shot relative to his teammates? How else can you prove a player’s productivity without looking at actual goals and assists? Everyone is willing to jump on about how many assists Berba had last season but if it’s Nani it’s always well he is crap for 89 min and for a split second he manages a half decent cross. Exaggeration of the highest order not least to say he doesn’t even play more than 70 min. But you can’t deny his productivity which is measured in no other way but by goals and assists. If anyone has any other means of measuring or assessing a winger’s productivity I’d be happy to know.

@EDDY: ANDERSON will win ballond’or one day!.. definitely.. He’s a genius on the lines of Ronaldo, Maradona , Pele,.. albeit a CAM…

@GROGGY: Yeah, I’m all for getting the player who if trained properly can become Zizou’s Reincarnation!

@Footy4Eddy: I know you are good to understand this bro that the technical ability and education has no substitute in any sport. I know you are better than me in knowing ins-outs of footy but being the Cricket player in my life and playing it for around 8-9 yrs untill the university level I have come across one fact that flamboyance, brilliance and charisma are fine. These differentiate from great players from good players but for that fundamental requirement is you should have good technique to be a good player. I always felt being player who batted all my life in one of the trickiest position that is No.3 that all the other things like confidence, form etc are temporary the only thing that last with all your life is your technique. So, if I want to put my per cent into it then I would say no matter which country you choose as it is your choice but the choose the place where you will come across coaches and coaching staff who will be technically well equipped to help you grow and be better player as whole. Remember one thing (I know you pretty much know it but still) solid technique has no substitute.

@Footy4Eddy: Yeah… So simple.. People just keep on writing post after post and make it so complicated that you need a statistician to solve the dilemma…..
But, yeah you are right, we need a target man who will attack the near post or far post on every given opportunity to make our wingers look better…
And I am sure that if that happens then the 4-4-2 will suit us even better….

OK, so now I just added Philip Lahm to my FM10 team. What a day of business. Adler, Lahm, Gourcuff and Krasic and I am working on Di Maria. Man Lahm cost me 27 million pounds. Steep but worth it. Like real life Spurs are knocking on my door inquiring about Foster. I told Harry that I’d pay him to take him off of me. Now I have to find a #3 keeper.

And finally one last word before I go to bed. Thierry Henry is a fucking snake in a grass and king sized French prick job. Disgraceful and shameful. And then there are the blind referee and linesman and the incompetent Blatter who will do nothing about it. An entire nation is crushed and their dream destroyed by a Larry Biird pass to Magic Johnson for an easy layup. What a joke. And you wonder why my continent looks at the game as something for fags.

Berbato is now the all time top goalscorer for bulgaria, and has the best strike rate internationally in the world. Bulgaria obviously know how to play him in the right system, why dont we?

@Footy4Eddy: Consider this. What made Cantona such a great player? He adapted to the British game but he brought his own style and continental approach to the game. I think learning what Italy has to offer would really benefit your game. It would beat going to a Hell hole like Spurs and being trained and coached by muppets. In the end it's your life and you will make the decisions, but let it be said, Grognard at least offered you his opinion for what it's worth.
