I played him on the left this week, he plays there at times for Germany and he is left footed, I don't think that's an issue at all

http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/mesut-oezil/profil/spieler_35664.html

Coentrao & Koscielny
for
Clichy & Kompany

ENQ

For me, Pedro and Di Maria are much of a muchness. They are also not CAMs which I am looking to improve.

I would be looking for either Sneijder or Fabregas to swap Cambiasso for Toulalan.

Pedro + Cambiasso + Hazard
=
A Johnson + Toulalon + Sneijder
-----------------------------------

Horrible enquiry. Really don't want to lose Pedro.

Suarez + Cambiasso + Hazard
=
A Johnson + Toulalan + Sneijder

??

liestiener = bibotelli

I think I'm losing on all 3 players you offered. I don't even think Toulalan is an international anymore.

Van Persie & Richards for Maicon & Falcao?
Enq

Yes.

Lass + Hazard + Suarez
for
De Jong + Sneijder + A.Johnson

Negotiable.

How do you rate Hamsik and Moutinho compared to other midfield players on here?

not a bad offer but have no interest in Lescott sorry.

Veloso isn't in the class of Cambiasso or even Lass imo.

You previously offered

Pedro + Cambiasso + Hazard
=
A Johnson + Toulalon + Sneijder

so I swapped Pedro for Suarez and downgraded Toulalan to De Jong to balance it up.

Decent offer but rate Khedeira more on De Jong than the Di Maria/Podolski offer

No deal pal

Anything for, Forlan as well?

I'll deal on that mate

Decent offer but I think would put me a bit too attack minded in midfield so shall say no thanks.

De Jong, what you like for the Kung fu Dutchman?

Busquets NFS

Not prefer Koscielny? Showed tonight he's quality! Could chip in 3m?

He doesn't fit the Bundesliga build I'm trying to create!

Don't know if you saw but I offered 3m on top?

Just saw that... Tempting, but still no. I don't really see Kos as an improvement on Lescott, who has been great this season.

Any of moutinho/gotze/hummels available?

Moutinho is

Would you entertain something like Sahin, Moutinho, Koscielny and 8m for either of Toure or Fabregas?

Not wishing to lose him sorry, finally got a Bundesliga back four and sticking with it.

Busquets not for sale at all?

Correct. sorry.

Lampard + Vidic for Puyol + Fabregas

Yaya + A Johnson
for
Khadeira + Gourcuff/Carrick + Podolski

enq

I'd add in Essien for Yaya to my enquiry.

What for Yaya Toure mate?

Evra + Gourcuff + Khedira
=
Clichy + Yaya + Milner
--------------------------
I personally think Khedeira is under-rated but still behind Yaya
As much as I like Yaya...I hate Clichy and nowhere near the player he was.

No deal mate

Prefer both of mine, Essien still => Yaya for me.

prefferably a LB or a forward tbh

Lassana + Pedro
for
Veloso + Navas

Portuguese midfield
---------------

That would be true but I rate both my players higher tbh so would need an improvement elsewhere to consider it.

Lass + Suarez + Benzema
for
Veloso + Di Maria + Higuain

What about

Lass + Suarez
for
De Jong + Navas

how much for balotelli

I prefer Essien to Yaya.

Essien + Lampard for Yaya + Sneijder?

The whole of the Chelsea side have been in poor form but after last night, I'd expect a resurgence. Lampard also scored and played well...

Essien has been playing most weeks for Chelsea now since the turn of the year, including a full 120 minutes last night.

Your injuries are as follows:

Jesus Navas - Round 5
Cesc Fabregas - Round 6
Nigel De Jong - Round 7
Diego Forlan - Round 8

The mentioned round is the round that the player returns and is available for selection. Remember, an injured player is healed upon transfer.

Albiol + Sanchez + Abidal
=
Kompany + Navas + Clichy

Enq

Andddd... Give me Corbisiero!

pullthestrings wrote:Lahm + Swein
=
Fabregas + Richards

enq.

Tempting, let me think over it

Toure for Essien?

I don't know, I'll think about it.

Yaya, Navas
4
Khedira, Silva
-----------------------
Not letting Silva go for Navas who hasnt been on his best form since his injury

no deal mate

Pedro > Navas imo so wouldn't do a straight swap even though he is injured.

Pedro + Nasri + Suarez
for
Navas + Fabregas + Forlan

Pedro > Navas
Nasri < Cesc
Suarez > Forlan

CM Cesc Fabregas (ESP)
AM Wesley Sneijder (HOL)
WG Jesus Navas (ESP)

Interested in them.

no deal.

cesc
=
mvilla+x

or

forlan=kuiyt=x

Could do something for Kompany. Not interested in Puyol as he's no younger than who I have at the min.

Not happy with a draw. Think it was gained on a sympathy vote somewhat.

How about something like...

Kompany & Fabregas
for
Carvalho/Lucio & Torres

Yeh, bit of a poor offer I guess.

Kompany + Clichy + Yaya + Di Maria
=
Lucio + Cole + Mascherano + Mata

Have no interest in Clichy and prefer Masch and Mata.

Kompany, Di Maria, De Jong & Forlan
for
Lucio, Mata, Lucho G. & Hernandez

Not looking to sell Silva and Robben but could Ribery depending if I can get better fullbacks

What are you offering?

Robben + Yaya + Richards
=
Rafinha + Navas + Khedira
-----------------------------------
Not willing to sell Robben for Navas mate.

Lahm, Vidal and Subotic
for
Fabregas, Kompany, Richards
