I like the fact that he has called out Fox and Lerner. He's got bottle, and fight. Shows he not willing to roll over and go with a whimper. I'm just struggling to see how he can attract players that'll turn the season around. For me I'll happily let him see the season out, hopefully there will be a change in fortunes, let him rebuild in the summer, whatever division that may be, and entrust him a little.
-
He must de down the same hole where Ilori was stranded!
-
Being so far adrift has massively damaged any transfer aspirations Remi had. He would have had a couple lined up who now have cold feet I'm sure. Seeing Bournemouth spend 10m on Afobe and loaning Iturbe hits home that we've been royally done over, and let down. If we were still in touch with the pack it would be a different story, but the latest two league defeats have been irreparably damaging.
-
I noticed when Garde was talking about Remy he mentioned other possibilities that haven't got the experience in the league but have the quality. Definitely will be a striker incoming whether it be Remy or another.
-
We wouldn't be able to register him I don't think. He would be a good short term solution at left back.

Devastated. I am an eternal optimist but I just can't see how we will get ourselves out of this now. Doesnt get any easier with Southampton away and Arsenal at home. We are just too easy to play against, our defence is shambolic. It's all well and good asking Lerner to back Garde in January, but if you're adrift at the bottom it isn't easy to get the type of player we need.

Yeah the dates do change season on season now, but tend to be around the same time. I found a list on one of the forums with regen dates and bookmarked the larger nations. The german batch has just landed, but nothing of note, and they're all at the big clubs and not wanting to move. I have always swooped in on a pre-contract due to them being bargains and stealing all the best talent. Whether i do that this time round, i don't know. Thanks for the scouting tip, and budgets. Club scouting knowledge is only about 30% so absolutely useless at the minute, and the starting scouting team at Villa is dross!
-
@tarjei Out of interest how do you go about scouting for regens? I have the dates bookmarked in my calendar and manually look through the clubs within that particular nation, then scout players individually if they take my fancy. Never seem to have much joy just sending a scout to a nation.
-
Finding an developing regen players is probably my favourite part of the game. In recent years i've managed to get some superb strikers, but the game isn't full of them. Just about to go onto the first batch of regens coming through in my save. That Spilden fella looks immense!
-
I've given up with it now, got a Premier League face pack in the game, might try the mega pack again. 3rd time lucky hopefully! I've got around 20gb left on my hard drive plus an external hard drive with 1tb so shouldn't be an issue. Thinking the download may have been corrupted with lost connection as i am just doing it through Safari? I survived the consortium takeover and they've injected 20m ready for the January transfer window.
-
@tarjei which face pack are you using? I've downloaded the cut out mega pack from sortitoutsi at 8gb, and it's been 'preparing' to extract since yesterday evening. Should it take this long? And any other recommendations of decent face packs? Cheers.

12 games into my first season with Villa and we have been taken over by a consortium... my position is under consideration. Thankfully i'm on a 5 game unbeaten run, and climbed up to 14th recently, so need to continue this form. They said in the process of the takeover they wanted to appoint Hierro, and he was spotted in the stands of my last game, a 3-1 away win at Norwich. Could be trouble ahoy!
-
Yeah i've seen the lists etc. but find it better having someone like yourself actually further into the game and have seen them first hand. My scouts will certainly be busy
-
Fantastic, I'll have a look at some of them and see what they're like in my save. Thanks Tarjei.
-
It is all part of the fun, but a tip or two never goes amiss! I always enjoy developing strikers and centre backs, it's always rewarding when they start dominating.
-
Suliman looks immense, just starting out with Villa so will give him some TLC. Enjoying reading your tips Tarjei, keep them coming cheers. Any other hot prospect wonder kid tips?
-
Yes please to Austin. Knows where the back of the net is and would add a much needed knack of scoring from half chances.
-
I ended up signing Iorfa from Wolves at right back and Seferovic as my striker, also got Dwight Gayle on the cheap. Lost my opening 2 league games to Southampton and Leicester though. Becoming immersed already!
-
Started a game as villa this time around. Not really got into FM since 13, but fancied giving villa a good go with a decent squad to start. Just building my back room team and scouts, tweaking training and tactics. Not signed anyone yet, anyone recommend a striker or right back?
-
Devastating for him. He can have my knee for the season if he likes!
-
Clark was back to the form which saw many people calling for him to be made captain ahead of Richards in the summer... He was immense Sunday and very good last season, long may it continue.
-
Very good today, I enjoyed seeing him burst forward from midfield and carry the ball forward. Against lesser opposition he will be able to play further forward and create more. He will get fitter with more games, but there is definitely a player in there. I think he will be one of the biggest beneficiaries of Garde. Good set pieces too.
-
I've got a lot of love for Sanchez. He was excellent today. The midfield trio were great together today, hopefully more of the same from them.
-
Could do with a point from this now! I'd like to see Gil and Traore start so we have some threat going forward. I'd also like to see Ayew played through the centre.
-
Welcome Remi! Excited by this appointment, hopefully he can unlock the potential in the squad and get us winning some games!
