Recommended Signings

Arsenal have a pretty strong team already but backup will be needed too. So some recommended signings are:

Vincent Kompany – Anderlecht 2.5m. Can be signed for 5m. Play him in CB and move Toure into RB. Put Lauren on bench.

Fernando Cavenaghi – Spartak Moscow 3.9m. Wait a season using this guy as you’re backup. After one season replace Bergkamp with this guy. He’s fast, good and young.

This will leave you with round about 3m spare. Now this will be needed in emergencies. If you ground up 2m then sign:

Aiden McGeady – Celtic 850k. He will cost about 2m. He is absolutely fantastic on the LW. Use him as back up to Lungberg and Pires. When Pires starts getting old play McGeady on your LW and move Ljungberg to the RW.

Recommended Sellings

Lauren – He should fetch at least 6m. Only sell him if you sign Kompany

Edu – He should bring you at least 8m. He is good but not needed. Keep Silva as your cover to Vieira.

Cesc Fabregas – Loan him out to a Championship side.

Phillipe Senderos – Loan him out as well to a Championship team. Keep Clichy to cover your defense.

Replacements

When you’re a few seasons into the game some players will be getting older and not performing as well. So on the left the players. On the right the replacement.

Jens Lehmann – Yohann Pele. It’s best to sign Pele straight away because his price rises. If you do sign him you have the choice of putting him in the reserves or playing him straight away. Don’t leave him as sub.

Sol Campbell – Anthony Vanden Borre. Play Vanden Borre in RB when and move Toure back to the centre with Kompany. Vanden Borre is free until 24/10/04 so sign him before that date.

Robert Pires – Aiden McGeady. Play McGeady on the left and Ljungberg on the right.

Dennis Bergkamp – Fernando Cavenaghi. I’ve already mentioned him.

Another few years and some more players won’t be playing to their full potential.

Patrick Vieira – Javier Machernano. Mascherano is the perfect replacement. By 2010 Vieira will be 33 and Mascherano will be reaching his prime.

Freddie Ljungberg – Robin Van Persie. Straight swap. Van Persie is a LW but is great on the RW.

Thierry Henry – Diego. Diego is at Porto. Play him in CF and he will score plenty. Don’t worry about Henry. By this time he won’t be the best in the world.

Reserves

Arsenal only have 13 players in their reserves. But 2 of these are out on loan. Their youth is small with only one decent player. David Bentley is out on loan but put him in your reserves anyway. Arsenal have a small squad but there are plenty of freebies out there. Any players that are 16 or under will be free. But leave them for your youth. Some good freebies are:

Abdallah Bah – GK. If you don’t get Pele or you put Pele instead of Lehmann then get Bah for your reserve team goalie.

Issa Cissokho – CB. Good and young.

Jure Primorac – CB. Good player but it may be hard to get a work permit for him.

Rati Aleksidze – LW. Decent winger.

Adam Skumanwitz – CM. 24 but a strong player. Captain material for a reserve side.

Tressor Moreno – ST. A good striker could make the first 11 as backup. Alongside Aliadiere your reserves will have an amazing strike force.

Under 19s

Arsenal have few youth players but could definitely do with others. The good under 16 players (that are free) are:

Juan Carlos – Villareal GK
Candeloro Assenzio – Messina FB
Ivan Castiglia – Reggina CM
Francesco Della Rocca – Bologna RW
Carmona – Mallorca CM
Diego Capel – Sevilla CM
Danilo Soddimo – Sampdoria ST
Allesio Cerci – Roma ST

Staff

Staff are very important. You want an Assistant Manager with good coaching ability, tactics and Man Management. For coches you want your main one to be the same as the Assistant. You then want someone good at coaching youth and goalies. For scouts there are only 3 main abilities needed. Scouting on Potential, Scouting on Ability and Determination are those 3. Physios want 100% Physiotherapy and good determination and motivating. Arsenal already have some of the best coaches on the game. The higher the rep the better, but when signing coaches the unproven ones are the best to sign as there are plenty of brilliant ones and they only want small wages.But these are the key coaches you want:

Assistant – Pat Rice – Arsenal
Coach – Mark Robson – Charlton
Coach – Hans Segers – Tottenham
Coach (goalkeeping) – Silvino – Chelsea
Coach (youth) – Clive Allen – Tottenham
Scout – Steve Rowley – Arsenal
Scout – Colin Lewis – Liverpool
Physio – Colin Lewin – Arsenal
Physio – Gary Lewin – Arsenal
