Players i've sold: Javier Zanetti (he wasn't happy:cry2, Matrix, Kily, Farinos, Cristiano Zanetti, Almeyda, Cruz, Okan, Gamarra, Kallon

i've been winning everything that is to win. Scudetto , champions league for 2 seasons straight. lost the italian cup in the second season coz i played my whole u-20s squad against a full squad juventus. the untouchables!

[Handoyo]

Sold Javier Zanetti???

I don't care if in the game he's unhappy (He's never). I don't care if he has became bad with age. I don't care if he's the weakest link in my team. The right back position is always his and so is the captain's armband. Capitano is one player, one person who should always be related to Inter.

[scutzon]

i didn't want to sell him. but he requested to be put on the transfer list. and i, being the caring and thoughtful coach, gave him his wish. it wasn't that i wanted to sell him.

[Handoyo]

Javier Zanetti should end his career at F.C. Internazionale Milano. Full stop!!! Unless a bid from Banfield come, I will never ever sell Il Capitano.

Anyway dude, I'm just playing with you. It's just a game and you can do whatever you want with your team. But I'll never sell him, even though should JZ ask to be put on the transfer list.

DC:Bonera
DC:Lucio
DMLede
DMR:J.Zanetti
MC:Stankovic
MC:Taddei

[Riku]

Filimonov

Vargas - Garzya - Di Cesare - Canella

Quintana - Farnerud/Bedin - Zecchin - Amore/Scarchilli

Di Napoli - Guidetti



Well-known players, huh? This is my current squad. I`m playing with Padova and I got promoted from Serie C1 to Serie B in my first season and I also won the Serie C cup. My star player was Massimiliano Guidetti who scored 38 goals and made 24 assists in 46 games.

[Handoyo]

I'm proud to say that I am undoubtedly the best WE 7 player in this board.



Nah, I'm good at that game but not that good. I personally don't think that the Inter in that game is good. Several players; ecspecially Cordoba, J.Zanetti and Emre are seriously under-rated.

[Marco The Butcher]

well im an ok player, but there are plenty of superior people here in egypt.. there are always competitions and serious money prizes on this game.

Well if u play with inter well, u will just kill anyone.. first of all the squad is massive and whenever there is an injured one you can replace him.
Just put fadiga on the right and almeyda infront of the defenders and u will kill anyone..
Bobo just scores..

[js]

I`ve played both CM and WE 7, both are great games.
In WE Almeyda rules, Dalmat is also good to, but Fadiga is way overrated.
Anyway, just give the ball to Bobo, he`ll get it in!!!

As for Cm 03/04, i`ve promoted with Serie C2/C Lodigiani into Serie A and finished 13th. One of my key players is Aco Stojkov, which, in the version I have, starts as an Inter player, but they give him the boot after the first season. He turns out quite good (35 goals/39 matches ), kinda like other players that were sold by Inter in real life....

[Fabio]

I didnt know Pro Evolution was called WE 7 in other places!

I love CM!

[Fabio]

I have started a story on a CM website where my aim is to win everything in the world and I am starting off at Malmo FF of Sweden!

Thanks,I will paste it onto here if you like!

[CafeCordoba]

My last line-up with Inter was like this before I stopped playing that game and started a new one with Rennes. I won Serie A x2 and CL x1 plus Coppa Italia x1.

              4-2-4   (GK; DL, DR, DC, DC; DMC, DMC; AML, AMR; FW, FW)

                  Toldo

J.Zanetti     Cannavaro    Cordoba    Coco


           Iniesta         Emre 


Van der Meyde/Kanoute         Reyes/Recoba

          Adriano       Martins

With Rennes I both Aliou Cisse from.. Aston Villa (I guess), Ederson from Brazil, he's a 17-year old starlet who cost me almost nothing. Then I bought also Julius Aghahowa from Dynamo Kiova it was I think.

       4-4-1-1   (GK; DL, DR, DC, DC; DMC, ML, MR, MC; AMC; FW)

                  Cech

Diatta    A.Cisse    Arribage    Le Lan

               Bourillon

Barbosa        Källström        Monterrubio

                     Ederson/Aghahowa
             
        Frei/Aghahowa

[Fabio]

I have decided my story will go here aswell!

[M.M#23]

Well, i play CM a lot. I am an Inter fan, but in tht game my team is Fiorentina. I have been promoted in the first season, and emediatelly went to the Champions League.

Anyway my star players are:

De La Questa (I dont know where i bought him rom )
Matteo Brighi (Juventus)
Diego ( Santos)
Pazzini (Atalanta

[Handoyo]

Well, I've finally get semi-addicted to the new CM. I've played for 3 seasons now. I've won everything but one, the Champions' League. And I have beaten every club but one, Manchester United. Somehow, someway, my players just pi$$ed in their pants against them.

On my second season, I went right to the final, before they choked ala Inter in real life style by losing 5-0 to them. Anelka scored all five, unbelievably. Cafè getting sent off early in the games didn't help either.

On my third season, I met them in the semis. The first leg was at San Siro. And God damn it, I was leading 2-1 before Giggs scored at the death and made it 2-2. The second leg at Old Trafford??? I don't have Il Capitano and my best defender, Lucio, was suspended. 5 minutes into the game, my best striker, Oba, was injured. And we sank faster than the Titanic. Cristiano Ronaldo became the Il Fenomeno of old and scored twice. We lost 4-0.

But I won something bigger that season, and that is to stay unbeaten in Serie A for the whole 38 games.


My squad:

Goalie
Toldo
Cordaz
Curci (Primavera) (Bought from Roma)

Defenders
J.Zanetti
Gamarra (Gonna retire)
Pasquale
Evra
Cordoba
Cannavaro
Lucio
Materazzi

Midfielders
Van Der Meyde
Karagounis
Stankovic <--- Via editor
Rebecchi
De Rossi <--- Get him for free after your first season!!! A real gem!!!
S.Gerrard
Emre
Beati

Forwards
Adriano
Martins
Recoba
Eliakwu
Cerci (U-20) (Gonna replace Recoba soon)


I use 4-4-2 (Modified ala Handoyo. ) And my starting line-up:

Toldo
J.Zanetti
Evra
Cafè
Lucio
Van Der Meyde
Stankovic (Left midfield)
Emre
Gerrard
*De Rossi is really good so he fights his spot with Emre, Deki and Gerrard regularly. Sometimes I put Gerrard as on the right flank. All my 5 starting midfielders gets the same amount of game every season.
Adriano
Martins

I am currently in my 1st season, started the game a few days ago. Ofcourse i am managing FC Inter, it's been quite fun so far.

On the transfer market, both when i first entered in the summer & the winter break was pretty quiet. The only player that i have signed is Zlatan Ibrahimovic, since i plan on either booting Crespo or Vieri at the end of the season. Vieri is a huge a-hole in this game, so i will try to sell him even if it's at a bargain price for the other team.

I use the Diablo tactic, i would post my entire squad but i am way too lazy and it's really late over here.

------------------------------Toldo----------------------------------

(C)J.Zanetti------------Cordoba--------Cannavaro-----------------------Coco

--------------------------------C.Zanetti------------------------------------

--------Dalmat-----------------------Recoba----------------------------Emre

----------------Ibrahimovic------------------------Crespo-----------


I am currently in 2nd place of Calcio and have already qualified out of the 2nd group stage. It isn't over yet so i don't know who my opponent will be in the round of 16's.

I am also going in to the Coppa Italia semi's.

[Handoyo]

HUGE advice for everyone. When you play this game, select 'Medium' as your database size. On my first game; I selected 'Small' and a lot of players; Adu, Robinho, Kompany, Cavenaghi and Renato, were unavaliable. I was at season 08/09 in my first game but now I'm restarting a new one because of that silly small mistake.

Some tips if you use Inter:

• 1) Recoba is fantastic even though is stats doesn't tell so.
  2) The very first thing you should do is to buy Lucio (He has a release clause, so it's easy). He's simply the best defender in CM.
  3) De Rossi's contract expires after one season. Don't 'shortlist' him or else Roma will renew it. Well, Henry's contract also does but I don't wanna get him since I consider that as cheating.
