How to Edit Football Manager 2008 Transfers

The soccer management simulation game Football Manager 2008 (FM08) was released on October 17, 2007. This meant that any moves that took place in January 2008's January transfer window would not be featured on the game's data, rendering it outdated. Thankfully, both FM08's developers Sports Interactive and the game's online fanbase have compiled a series of data updates allowing you to edit the game to include 2008's transfers, such as Alfonso Alves' move to Middlesbrough.
