Your Most Expensive Signing? - FM-Base - Football Manager 2010 (FM10) Forum

iNickStuff · 06/02/2010 #1 iNickStuff Don't worry widdle wabbit

The question is in the title.Who was your most expenisve signing on Football Manager? Was he a total flop or did he turn out to be like Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid,who is currently the world's most expensive footballer.

I was playing on my laptop with Manchester City and I was on the verge of signing Didier Drogba from Chelsea for around £92million

(I think) in my second season.Chelsea were asking around £100million plus but Drogba wanted to leave after I 'lured him in'

.Unfortunately my laptop needed repairing so technically I haven't signed him yet but when it does come back I will have.

Who was your most expenisve signing on Football Manager?

Torres for 86m on FM09

Iballpaul · 06/02/2010 #3 Iballpaul Banned

Messi 270 mil

Lewis · 06/02/2010 #4 Lewis just lost the game

On cm08 I signed Cristiano Ronaldo with real madrid for 86m. On Fm though the highest I ever payed is £67m for Torres with Man City three seasons in.
I tend to avoid signing a player for over £20m now unless he's a youngster, because the amount of times that they have turned out to be flops is countless

Vidic 50 m, worth it

Sergio Aguero £59m for Newcastle 6 seasons in

asdw123 · 06/02/2010 #11 asdw123 Amateur

60M for David Villa for Liverpool, greatest combination for FM and Spain!

askep · 06/02/2010 #12 askep Most Valuable Pirate

£20m - Georginio Wijnaldum in FM09 about 6-7 seasons into it. Not a flop, not an instant superstar, but probably not worth the 20 mil.

Anlaby7Hull · 06/02/2010 #13 Anlaby7Hull First Team

Playing with Real Madrid 7th season and I was leaving to join Hull so I signed a 37 year old left back from Birmingham for £76 million cause i got bored

bigjockknew · 06/02/2010 #14 bigjockknew Trainee

i signed kaka in my third season with man city for 80 mil, what a flop lol i quit in january and took over at arsenal who were 10th in the league....still above man utd pretty unrealistic neither finished in the top four once.

satanasangel · 06/02/2010 #15 satanasangel Rotation

In my current save, £1.8m on a centre back regen.

Most I have spent on any FM was on 09 buying Aguero for £40m for Man Utd.

fm09 fabregas for 77million, biggest waste of money ever!! sold him to barcelona for 30million two seasons later

I only sign big money players if I only need the one player for that position and have a big transfer budget

__Sanchez__ · 06/02/2010 #19 __Sanchez__ Rotation

Sergio aguero for £55m 3rd season as city..well worth it though, top scorer and such, and world player of the year...o...toulalan, pjanic, akinfeev, thiago silva i all got for £35m as well...none of the flopped

Chris · 06/02/2010 #20 Chris The Last Train to Wales

Not really into splashing the cash to be honest. I paid 21.5M for Bale and that is the most expensive signing I have ever made. He was nothing special. A good solid player but he never stood out for me.

LeedsUnitedTraz · 06/02/2010 #21 LeedsUnitedTraz Trainee

13.5 Million for Steven Defour in my first season in the prem with Leeds.
And just got Belhadj (sp?) from pompey for 10.5 million

Chris · 06/02/2010 #22 Chris The Last Train to Wales

On my Palace save this is my most expensive signing in the Championship and then the EPL:

xJosHx · 06/02/2010 #25 xJosHx Rotation

fm09, messi for 124m, around 3 seasons in with city. without that city save my most expensive would be £70m for Benzema with Everton on 09, on FM10 my most expensive is so far Dzeko with spurs for £21m

Heres one for yas.
Pato: £35million
Robiniho: £20million
Cristiano Ronaldo: £65 million
Fabregas: £157million
Kaka: £142million
David Villa: £64million

As u can tell im a bit mad. Playing as everton all signings over a long period of time. in 2013-14 season. money raised by winning league a few times and selling baines, arteta, yakubu, saha after they had storming seasons. little tip if u spread the cost over a few years for the players ur more likely to sign them. Although my club is now £400million in the red. lol. Pato flopped but other than that theyre all quality. trying to sign tevez

110mil, Cesc Fabregas

Sublime player, played in a MC attacking role, and scored 30+ every season, more than worth it
