I kept him on loan for three years and he continually scored loads for me. Then I got him on a freebie when his contract ran out. Maybe you should think about that.  | | | | 08-07-08, 01:51 PM | #5 (permalink) | | Used In Squad Rotation Join Date: Aug 2007 Location: In Norfolk Posts: 274 Thanks: 12 Thanked 43 Times in 39 Posts Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTW/F/M Award(s): 0 | Sam Vokes is a great player. 1. He's only 17. 2. He's Welsh so its good because im a Welsh club. 3. He is fairly cheap to buy, he scored alot for my U18's and Reserves, he was injured for quite a bit of the season thou. I will get a screenshot of him up soon. Yeah, i was thinking about getting him next season on loan Ru. He got me alot of point, he seems to score alot of offside goals if he could sort that out he could have got another 8-10.

And I agree with Ru, trying to keep hold of brandy is a must, he will pay dividends for you if he is kept fit and happy! | Signature-Care of Ru Top FMF GFX Artist Current game Tottenham Hotspur 2007- Follow it here! | | | 10-07-08, 10:51 AM | #9 (permalink) | | Used In Squad Rotation Join Date: Aug 2007 Location: In Norfolk Posts: 274 Thanks: 12 Thanked 43 Times in 39 Posts Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTW/F/M Award(s): 0 | I decided i am now going to update every month. With transfers, team ratings, league table every 6 months. So i will just be posting results everymonth mainly, sometimes i will add my best player through the month. Pre Season FC Basel 1 - Swansea 4 Servette FC 1 - Swansea 2 Young Boys 2 - Swansea 2 Swansea 1- Aston Villa 1 Wrexham 0 - Swansea 2 Managers view going into first game of the Championship: A few players out with injuries, but im sure i can cope, i have a strong team which i am sure is capable of at least a mid table finish, but we are jus concentrating on avoiding relgation this season. Joe Garner scored 5 in 5 during pre season and will be a big boost in his confidence. Will update again at end of August. Thanks for reading. Here's Voke's profile for anyone who wanted to se it.

Great pre season too, sam vokes looks like a good player for that league, i think that you might have inspired me to do a Swansea game after my current one.

Now the season has started. Transfers: My stupid chairman decided he'd except 2.5m for Pratley who is one of my best players, then he keeps some of the money, i wasn't happy. Rojas wanted to leave for West Ham and 900k profit over a season wasnt to bad, and i had Ryan Bertrand who was just as good. I was to start the season with alot of key players out: Brandy (2 months), Pratley (2 weeks/ he wasnt sold untill a few games into the season), Cathcart (2 weeks). Here are the results from August: Swansea 3 - 0 Preston NE Rojas (pen 11) Andy Robinson (28) Darryl Duffy (90) Joe Garner inured (9) Angel Rangel injured (43) Swansea 2 - 1 Crystal Palace Ferrie Bodde (34) Craig Beattie (38) Darryl Duffy (41) Sheffield United 3 - 0 Swansea Billy Sharp pen (10) Nick Montgomery (29) Johnathon Stead (66) Carling cup Hereford 0 - 2 Swansea Joe Garner (36) Darren Pratley (90) Ferrie Bodde injured (15) Birmingham 3 - 3 Swansea James McFadden (57, 64) Darren Pratley (37) Oliver Kapo (83) Joe Garner (41, 68) Liam Ridgewell sent off (71) Swansea 2 - 0 Plymouth Lee Carsley (68) Steve MacLean missed pen (48) Ica Bagci (90) Krisztian Timar sent off (68) Southampton 5 - 3 Swansea Grzegorz Rasiak (17) Jason Scotland (37, 41) Bradley Wright Phillips (58, 73) Darren Pratley (68) Andrew Surman (78) Jason Scotland missed penalty (90) Marek Saganowski (86) Carling cup Burnley 1 - 0 Swansea Wade Eliot (44) Swansea 0 - 2 Wigan Andy Robinson injured (51) Michael Brown (15) Julius Aghahowa (68) League table  My player of month: Andy Robinson: Took me ages to do the results with scorers etc. Praise and critisise please. It has come out how i planned, as the spaces beetween the teams dissapead. If anybody knows how i can sort it out please comment and say how. Thanks for reading.

You should stay up and if results keep going the way they are, you will.
