enq

or anything for adam jonson?

no deal how about this bad boy
Gervinho+wallcott+cacres+liestiener+arteta+3mil
=
Jeus+kolerov+milner

ENQ

Not something like Koscienly and Song, it's like buy one get one free then, gives you extra depth to combat injuries.

Interested in Bosingwa, Evra, Khedira, Rooney, Aguero
------------------------------
Maybe Bosingwa could be sold but the rest...a no go area at the minute

what will it take to get jesus

Opening your heart to the Lord?

Sagna for Richards?

Puyol, Fabregas, Richards
for
Lampard, T Silva, Alves?

Enq.

Sorry, got confused with my other team on ja606.

Richards, Fabregas for Lampard, Arbeloa?

The gap between the CBs is small these days, Silva is a tank! Cannot lose Essien for Toulalan without a significant gain.

Terry + Evra + Khedira
=
Puyol + Clichy + Toulalon
-------------------------------
Rate Evra much more than Clichy nowadays
Same with Khedeira

Sorry mate

I'm looking to strengthen my defence.

Wrt your enquiry, I see it as

Cesar > Hart
Camb > Toul
Caz <= Navas

Clichy is nowhere near the player he was hence Kolorav taking his place

How about
Clichy + Fabregas
for
Evra + Carrick

Bosingwa, Soldado
=
Forlan, Zabaleta?
-----------------
I prefer my two mate

Clichy + Fabregas + Podolski
for
Evra + Khedira + Navas
----------------------------------
Cant really sell Khedeira as he my main DM

Definitely a deal possible here with Cambiasso and Toulalan, just need to sort it out.

Cambiasso + Kaboul + D.Milito + Cesar + Cazorla + Walker/Zanetti
for
Toulalan + Kompany + Forlan + Hart + Navas + Zabaleta

Might need to pick the bones out of that but we might be able to get somewhere with something from the above.

No thanks.

I wasn't suggesting the whole thing, just put up a list of possibles in a deal.

I don't really want to lose Lucio if I can help it. What about

Cambiasso + Kaboul + Cesar + Cazorla
for
Toulalan + Kompany + Hart + Navas

2 gains each I make that.

anything for richards?

I rate Lucio >= Puyol and Kompany so if I include him, I am not really gaining a great deal.

I could make it Milito for Forlan rather than Cazorla/Navas so it doesn't impact your first XI.

I did say >=. Lucio = Puyol for me and > Kompany.

Lucio is a world cup winner, same as Puyol plus CL winner, Bundesliga winner many times, Italian title winner etc. Not to mention over 100 caps for Brazil. He's a beast.

Not sure where we go from here. Would Samuel be of more interest than Kaboul. He has far more pedigree.

What if we remove the CB bit and replace it with something else?

Cambiasso + Cesar + Cazorla + Lucas Leiva
for
Toulalan + Hart + Navas + De Jong

Lucas has been one of Liverpool's best players over the past season or so despite his difficult start at Anfield.

I'm not selling any of my best players.

Sagna and 16.5m for Walker and De Jong?

Or Sagna and 17m for Walker & Kompany?

Sorry I meant Richards instead of Walker.

I've previously asked for a release figure on Song, being as it seems no-one rates him and I can't give him away for players worth £6m less than his value I might as well just get shut of him.

Napoli wish to offer £5m for David Pizarro

Macclads wrote:Napoli wish to offer £5m for David Pizarro

Can you offer me a deal in line with the other foreign offers you'll see?

I have haven't I? I got him coming up and I put 1m on top of his value. Thought that's what you wanted?

His value is £4 mil! I said ignore players < £5 mil.. ya stinchy git!

Ah sorry missed the <5 bit.

Gael Clichy 12.5m to PSG

Clichy's not a squad player..

No worries mate, I'll randomly do one now

Villarreal offer £14 mil for Alexandr Kolorov

Please accept/reject on the transfer confirmation page before Thursday 1 March 5pm.

I have £0.5m more that you atm but not wanting to have a bun fight. I am struggling to think of any other decent RBs still available. Any thoughts?

Also, if you want to sign someone from releases, do you have to pay the price they were released for?

Macclads wrote:Or Sagna and 17m for Richards & Kompany?

Anything further on this?

pullthestrings wrote:Can't sell Kompany for cash mate.

Sagna, Neymar
=
Richards, Forlan

enq.

Forlan is firing blanks all season, I wouldnt have swapped him for Callejon.

No thanks, Sagna for Richards is a decent deal, in a week when Sagna is fit I wouldn't even offer it but I just want someone better than Jenkinson for the game today.

Lampard & Vidic for Puyol & Fabregas?

Richards, Kompany and Clichy
For
Sagna, Koscienly and Coentrao?

As a heads up you'd get £5.5m for releasing Barry.

So...Hamsik?

krasic = adam johnson ENQ

what u think,

thats a badman offer for chiellini, ill think about it

cherriesfan wrote:krasic = adam johnson ENQ

what u think,

what cha think

Would you trade Di Maria?

Di Maria + De Jong
for
Ozil + Sahin or Moutinho?

Tricky. Not keen on the alternatives.

Essien + Valencia + Marcelo
=
Di Maria + Toulalon + Clichy

===

Essien >(>) Toulalan
Valencia < di Maria
Marcelo > Clichy

No thanks.
