Some tips for Football Manager 2007 Users Correct Teams: Due to licensing some National Teams don't have proper players (Holland and Germany for example) To get rid of this go to "c:/program files/sports interactive/football manager 2007/data/db/700/lnc" once there copy the file "fake.lnc" and place it in a safe place as backup, then delete the file "fake.lnc" and when you start a new game the contries effected will have the proper squad. All this file does it put a "mask" on the national teams effected and once you remove it it gets rid of the mask. Note: You have to start a new game for it to take effect. Good Signings: Andrea Barzagli [Palermo] World class centre back Dagoberto [Ath.Parenese] Excellent Forward Freddy Adu and Daniel Surridge Wonderkids Fernando Gago [Boca] Recommended Players: Nani [S.Lisbon] - Good left winger.

Other players: Cristian Benavente Andrea Mei Emiliano Vecchio Diego Buonanotte Danny Haynes Federico Laurito Alexis Sanchez Carlos Vela Also, it's well worth trying to pick up John Carew. Pretty cheap but incredible in the air. Play him with another striker up front and some good crossing wingers and he'll get you 20-30 per season.
Bojan is another good signing. He's 16 and plays for Barcelona C. He plays upfront and he might come cheap but its hard to sign him. Still a great prospect for the future.
