HullHull. Before the start of the last season…
You know the upcoming season #7 is the last one in my Football Manager 2009 career with Hull. It’s just because FM 2010 is on the way! So without any risk I decided to set up the highest targets for the season and receive maximum of money for transfers and wages:
Win the league! Ye! We can try – though it will be very complicated having such great opponents as Manchester United, Arsenal and Manchester City. And you see my Hull is on the 4th position following season bets:
Transfers
Players out
I sold Barazite and Witsel who were unhappy with their second roles in Hull. Genero Zeefuik disappointed me during the last season due to his inefficient dealing with ball when there should be goals from his side. So he was sold as well.
Players in
I decided to buy experienced players who can either become new team leaders or add some depth to Hull squad.
Fabian Monzon
The most valuable signing is Fabian Monzon. Left back of Argentina, World cup champion… I paid $53M paid to Villarreal for him. Look at his stats. He is one of the best (if not the best at all) left defenders in my game!
Gojko Kacar
Excellent versatile player from Bayern Munich. Hope to use him on different positions: DR, DMC, MC. We’ll see where he will show himself better.
Javi Garcia
Inter should cry selling this very good DMC to my club. He will certainly be in the first squad instead of my Ukrainian defensive midfielder - Eugene Shakhov.
Joe Cole
Risky $8M transfer aimed at gaining experienced flank attacker. But surely he will start the season from substitution bench because of current team leaders – Buonanotte, Suarez and O’Brien.
Robert Lewandowski
During the last season I had a real problem when leading forward Milovan Rakic had been injured. So I decided to buy two good forwards. Robert Lewandowski is the one of them. I think many of you, my dear readers, tried his services in your team. Now it’s my turn to try him!
Samuel Eto’o
The second forward is the most famous footballer of Cameroon – Samuel Eto’o. Experience of Eto’o should help in the Premier League and Champions League.
PS They predict us the 6th position…
That's a good sign :D The first time I won the title with Sunderland they predicted me in 6th position too :)
Good signings Vitaly. I think you might just win it this year!!!
Good signings. Maybe u are not quite good enough to win the league though!
hmmm..... sold young players for experience hope it pays of :)
FIFAA 10000000000000
Great signings there, but I think Franco Zuculini would've been a better bet for DMC, he is an absolute beast!
It's uncanny, I have released the signings post for my last season (3rd) of Southampton just yesterday night. Weird huh. Anyway, whoever wants to read it, here is the link:

I assume you mean Ben King? First of all, it's £3.5m which isn't a lot, and second he was probably a prospective regen for the Premier League.
If you mean Mads Albaek the same will probably apply.
i have monzon and lewandowski as well- both r in the best 5 in my team! monzon is the 2nd best assist taker and lewandowski 2nd best scorer! gd luck- with a gd back up striker u can win!
Anonymous,
it's season #7. You couldn't know what player is known in my game.
And, of course, I am not lying!
How is lewandowski so fast? In my game his pace is only 13 and acceleration is only 12. And I am around the same time as u. (nov 2014)
Hi, Vitaly... I dnt think your team is good enough to win the league...But I hope u win... I am not sure about your signing of joe Cole... But isnt 53m for a player too much??? You could have gone for Stoch... He's doing awesome work in my game... He's in Burnley and plays left wing... anyways, all da best... hope to here frm u soon...
bro try to get treble..coz this is ur last season for fm2009..gud luck!!
from malaysia
i suggest u better play 4-1-3-2. with this formation my team are superb!! i play la liga with at.madrid. Barcelona & real madrid they are no match for me..
asenjo
zaiverloon,eduardo,heitinga,lopez
comacho
cazorla, diego, silva
marquinhos , d.villa
Vitali,
Why did you sell Axel Witsel ? Is not so good to be in your team for the title ?
I've using a 4-2-3-1 module and I have Witsel behind the striker (AMC position). Who do you think is better for this position, Witsel or Marquinhos ?
10x for any recomandation.
Marquinhos is better I can ensure you because I tried both in my Hull
Well done Vitaly. Great signings there. I hope you do win the league and i believe you might.
Can you vote on my poll on www.fm10life.blogspot.com and everyone else please vote too but well done Vitaly! :)
