José Ernesto Sosa is an Argentine football midfielder. He was born on June 19, 1985, in the city of Carcarañá, Santa Fe Province. He currently plays for Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga.
Sosa played for Estudiantes between 2002 and 2007. The undisputable highlight of his career to date was helping Estudiantes to win their first league title since 1983 by scoring the equalising goal from a free kick against Boca Juniors in the 2006 Apertura final playoff game.
After that game, his manager Diego Simeone recommended Sosa to S.S. Lazio, and it was hinted in the press that other European clubs were interested in Sosa. On February 24, 2007, a deal was announced between Estudiantes and FC Bayern Munich, and four days later, details of the transfer were disclosed: Estudiantes will receive 6 million euros plus ten percent of any future transfer. Sosa's contract is worth 4.5 million euros over four years. The young superstar has been touted to make his undoubted talent fit for Bayern Munich and Argentina.

You wont be able to buy him straight away as he has only just joined Bayern when you start the game. I played him central midfield and he had a fairly quiet first season with 3 goals/5 assists in 45 aps. 2nd season he again played central midfield and had 6 goals/14 assists in 46 apps. 3rd season he had 12 goals/28 assists in 47 apps. 4th season he had 16 goals/34 assists in 55 apps and after 12 games in season 5, he has 4 goals/6 assists in 12 apps. He definitely gets better every season and very consistent. He has a good strike rate with free kicks which he hits with power and scores at least 7-8 a season! Last season (2010/2011 season) he helped me win the German league cup, the German cup, the Bundesliga and also the Champions League. Considering he plays central midfield, he racks up an insane amount of assists, so for that reason alone he is worth a gamble!!

good guide, i think it's very weird how an amc of his calibre can score 16 goals and 34 assists if his stats are as average as that. very weird but i will check him

good guide mate - I remember this guy when he played in Argentina but had lost track of his career since he joined Bayern. Looks like a good buy.
