Haha, yeah, FM's my weapon of choice too. I usually play the other two when I really want to indulge in some transfer fantasies that are either not achievable in FM, or don't make sense (like buying Roberto Carlos or van Nistelrooy for Wigan, or something), and maybe just to keep my memories fresh.

Just got tired and finished my FM save with AFC Wimbledon (tried to recreate the old gung ho Crazy Gang of the 90s, with some success) and started a new one with Man Utd. Boy, the transfer kitty sure looks a lot bigger.

Yeah it's crazy money, and he isn't exactly Mother Teresa off the pitch either. But the crazier thing is that I think it just might pan out, especially if Dalglish stays for a while. From what I can tell (which isn't saying much, haha), he likes to press high up the pitch and break, then get the ball out to the wings. If Liverpool can get a decent winger or two, I think Carroll's gonna be licking his chops. If he develops the way we think he will, anyway.
