I swear outload. Very heavy stuff sometimes, and the missus always gives me a lecture. I would stick with Shaw if I were you. Shimizu's always been a promise never to be fulfilled. He's just too puny. Get someone else like Yamada (great body balance) or Khumalo (develops very early to over 90 overall). Or you can get less talented but good bulkier stronger players like Diogo Rincon from Dynamo Kiev or Tadei from Roma or Lincoln from Schalke 04. They shouldn't be hard to get.

My mood wouldn't lift. Kept thinking: What has happened to me in PES? And: Why, of all years, did I choose *this* year to start blogging about it?! And: It's only a matter of time before some kindly citizen of the internet pops up to say something like *Face it dude u suck lol*. Grrrr. So it went for an hour or so, as I said. Then I started feeling cheerful. It's a *game*, and I'm being challenged by it in a way I never have been before. Yes, some people (most people?) don't find it particularly challenging, but I do. Who is getting the better value for money here?! David - Bramble seemed great when I first got him but is now slowly getting worse in my eyes. I'm on the verge of ripping my team apart - alas, I've already played the games you're currently reading about, so all of this great advice that you and others have been giving me won't be implemented for a while. I stubbornly persisted with my weak AMF duo of Shaw and Shimizu, for example. At the end of this season, whatever else happens, changes are coming to my team. ck – It was a terrible hour or two after this batch of games. My mood wouldn’t lift.

I got Ferdinand for 15k (hes at his peak and only goes down which sucks, but hey, i was rich, and maybe someone will buy him next season) and some young buck who will end up being fantastic... I beat the world selection 2-0 in a 5min game - that was about 2450 points in the bank, woohoo (i hate those close-season games - i only ever pick the best teams to play against for the cash)... If you're struggling this year, and your negotiations go THAT bad everytime because of your team rating, like i said before, maybe relegation is for you lol. in reality this means losing tonnes of cash, but this is PES, and winning everything in the Div2 is as good as winning everything in the top league (nearly). If you were to stay up, as youre hoping, what is your plan? Keep developing talent and wait to profit? Hoping to see those player stats soon, i swear Bramble cant be as good a choice as Kompany for example! (i havent checked bramble, maybe hes a rock)...

My friend Lars insists that football itself is negative entertainment -- that we love football because ultimately, it's about not getting what you want, failure and loss punctuated by really bright shining moments of ultimately false* hope. *Unless you support Man.
