sdpm may be able to put you straight on this one but memory serves me right he can play for them but because he joined them when the transfer window was closed he couldn't play till the window opened again.

Yes, that's right.

Although on their current form he may not need (or want) to.

This could be really interesting, we need a forward and I mean we are desperate for one. Also when Ellington was at Wigan he was a legend but because of the way he left which people to this day don't know the full story alot of Wigan fans started to hate him be interesting how the fans react if he comesback.

I don't see why the Boro is struggling so much this year. They seem to have pretty good talent at least for a top half finish.

Let me hear the experts.

Do you guys ever get FM and the real world confused? I keep thinking about how we're going to do so much better the rest of the season because now we've got Berbatov up front to replace the struggling Viduka. But that's just fantasy, pure blissful fantasy.

Inexperienced manager in Southgate and not being able to put a string of good results together, don't think they'll go down but the way they play their more suited to cup games (one off games) than having to say put 4-5 good results together.

Also, we must get to the bottom of Vienna or Saint Petersburg?

Vienna's real-life team is called Metrostars.
Do we go with that (or just Stars), or something else?

Why not use a name that is reflective of the deep and rich history and culture of Vienna?

Because I can't think of any good ones. That's why I asked.

Good one. Thanks. If there's no objections we'll go with that.

Thanks, but it's a continuation of the previous one. And thanks for the Vienna team name - I don't know why I picked Saint Petersburg for a team anyway.
