Sampdoria name new manager

Following the surprise resignation of Siniša Mihajlovi

Spoiler

ć due to personal reasons, Sampdoria yesterday unveiled up-and-coming coach Indi Blue as the club's new manager. Mihajlović led Sampdoria a mid-table finish in Serie A last term, but the Serbian manager was forced to step down in the summer in order to deal with certain obligations away from football. It is thought that his replacement has been tasked with leading a Sampdoria team full of promising talent into the Europa League by way of a high finish on the league table. Success in Italy's national cup competition, the Coppa Italia, is reportedly of secondary importance.

"I'm very excited to be here at Sampdoria. The president has put his faith in me and given me this chance, and I hope I can repay that by helping to bring success to this club," Indi said at his inaugural press conference, adding that he's looking forward to settling in Genoa as quickly as possible. "It's a fantastic city with so much to see and do, though my Italian isn't very good at the moment. I've already been around town a few times, and I have to say that I'm extremely impressed by what I've seen so far. I think I've chosen a wonderful place."

Indi is best known for his stint as the chief scout of Brighton & Hove Albion, during which time he helped the club reach successive Sky Bet Championship playoffs. Widely acknowledged in footballing circles as the prime mover behind Brighton's relative success, he has been given his first top-flight job at a club that demands excellence from its players. "We've had some extremely good players at this club – Siniša Mihajlović, Gianluca Vialli, Simone Inzaghi, Roberto Mancini. The boys who play for us now have the capability to be just as good as the heroes of the past. What I expect from this current team is that they try to emulate the winning mentality exhibited by that title-winning side. If they do that, the rest of it will fall into place," Indi said, confirming that he will not be making major squad changes.

In order to achieve his goals, Indi has been given free reign in terms of who he sells and signs. He's believed to have roughly €9 million at his disposal, a healthy figure given the level of talent already present in the squad. Indi is said to be keen on retaining the club's developmental core while acquiring primarily Italian talent, a philosophy backed wholly by a board keen to see the team achieve success. Said to be Indi's primary transfer target this season is Luca Caldirola, the former Inter Milan defender who now plays for Werder Bremen in Germany. Kazenga LuaLua, with whom Indi worked at Brighton, is also on the shortlist. It is also believed that Iker Muniaín is Sampdoria's long-term target, though he is not likely to be affordable until the club become regular Champions League participants.

This paper has also received what it believes to be a list of key Sampdoria players with buyout clauses attached to their contracts. While we make no guarantee about the accuracy of this information, we have reason enough to believe in the legitimacy of the document.

Sergio Romero: €5,000,000
Eder Martins: €8,000,000
Vasco Regini: €10,000,000
Nenad Krstičić: €10,000,000
Roberto Soriano: €10,000,000
Paweł Wszołek: €12,000,000
Gianluca Sansone: €12,000,000
Francesco Fedato: €16,000,000
Alfred Duncan: €16,000,000
Stefano Okaka Chuka: €16,000,000
José Campaña: €20,000,000
Pedro Obiang: €50,000,000
Manolo Gabbiadini: €50,000,000

Great choice! Looking forward to this and I really liked the quick facts, giving us some background on the club. The buyout clauses are a nice touch too. Was there a rule of thumb when picking the amount?

Great choice! Looking forward to this and I really liked the quick facts, giving us some background on the club. The buyout clauses are a nice touch too. Was there a rule of thumb when picking the amount?

The factors I considered were age, talent, position and potential based on my projection. I weighed these up against their current values and the kinds of offers I got for my best players at West Bromwich, and that's how I came up with the buyout clauses. It's somewhat arbitrary, but then so is pretty much everything in this game to a degree.

We'll take Manolo Gabbiadini as an example. Since he's obviously one of my two best players, I've set the bar quite high. He's young and talented, which means he's going to grow into a phenomenal player in two or three seasons. If anyone wants him before he hits his peak, they'll need to pay €50 million, which is the figure I'll counter with when I receive an offer. Of course, the clause value can change if I sign him to a new contract. I can always choose to accept a lower offer if it looks like a player won't sell for such a high price, if need cash to strengthen, or if the player asks for a transfer.

However, the buyout clause system can also work against me. Should I get an offer of €25 million for an in-form player with a buyout clause of €20 million, I must accept it rather than negotiate what could be a higher fee. Similarly, should I receive an offer of €29 million for a player with a €30 million buyout clause, I can only negotiate for the extra €1 million. I think this system will add a degree of realism.

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

Thanks! The original Wimbledon FC's highest achievement was an FA Cup title in which they defeated Liverpool in the final back in 1988 I believe. When they were relocated and renamed as MK Dons, the FA Cup was held by MK Dons claiming it as their own. After many protests they finally stopped claiming it as their own and it is at a neutral location now, credited to Wimbledon FC not MK Dons. Now, the reborn Dons - AFC Wimbledon - are at the top of English football!

Thanks for the compliment. Glad to see people will still enjoy the career if I keep it going!

You know your history! Now do another 6 seasons!

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

Hey guys! Been a while since I last posted. Been really busy at school and just have not had the vibe to play FIFA. I have been reading on these pages every now and then and the career modes have been great! Keep it up!

I figured at the moment that I am going to do a new career mode to spice things up again for me and give me back the "mojo" of playing FIFA. I still have a few ideas that could actually be interesting, but nothing certain at this moment. I guess you will see soon!

Take care, everybody!

Wait a minute, I am the commie and everyone else is brainwashed except for me and you, my ally Keano and Jamie and maybe Chico. I am you and I pretend that you are not me because I'm using your profile for propaganda purposes. Indi is meant to be on Chico's side but they are not that active in the war. Rabbit started the war but then he ran away and everyone else is missing or ignoring what is happening.

Do your career with whoever you want, don't let us get in the way.

I would love to know what goes on in your head.

Don't take it too seriously, okay? We are just joking and having a laugh here.
