I'd disagree on that.
Lahm is one of if not THE best fullback in the world and as Kamran showed yesterday Vidal is the rock at the heart of Juve's unbeaten campaign in Serie A.
I'd actually prefer someone instead of Richards as I rate Kyle Walker higher but I was willing to take him purely as cover. We've both losing 2 first teamers and gaining 1.

Clichy + Fabregas + Yaya
for
Marcelo + Essien + A Young

enq

Clichy + Fabregas + Veloso
for
Marcelo + Essien + A Young.
-------------------------------------
Marcelo>>Clichy
Essien<Fabregas
Young>Veloso

I would be losing alot to be honest

How about if I chuck my 4m in and then you have enough to buy someone quality in foreigns?

If... I was to swap Vidal for Gotze etc then I would want Kompany over Richards.

Neither really float my boat tbh.

Simply put if I was to lose 2 quality 1st team players from my team, I'd need 2 first teamers back and neither of those would be going into the first team.

Yaya + Puyol
for
Luiz + Essien
enq

Apologies for no predo's and apologies again as I'm gonna leave. I've lost interest completely to be honest plus work load is steadily rising. Hope you keep the league going. All the best.

what for Sneijder ?

no deal.

want to keep Alonso,

Yaya + A Johnson
for
Essien + Ashley Young

no deal.

Bosingwa + Marcelo 4 Richards + Clichy?.
-----------------------
I can't do the Marcelo one as I rate him much higher than Clichy
Harder to replace good full backs I feel

I can do the Bosingwa/Richards one though

Yaya available?

Khedira and Aquilani for Yaya?

No thanks mate, don't want Clichy or Puyol

Khedira and Anderson
for
Yaya and Kompany

Enq

Khedira and ? for Yaya and Kompany

Sorry my brain went ooh Anderson as been on fm09 this morning where he is rated ridiculously highly!

Di Maria and Higuain what you wanting?

both in seprate deals.

i am willing to offer Torres , Masha , Cole , Hernandez and cash up to 9m.

need to keep Mata.

Di Mari / Higuain / ? ( cash)? for Torres , masha , cole

make it 10m please?

doe Torres need to involved in the deal?

ah ok i see , would i be able to keep Cole then?

Make it even.?

Torres = 31m
Masha=26m

Di Mari-26m

Higuain-28m
+2m?

go on then.

deal you can confrim.

Anything possible involving Torres and Tevez ?

de jong? what you wanting?

dont want to lose Mata or Alonso.

what for Fabregas , De Jong ?

Fab + Yaya + Richards + Kompany

For

Schweinsteiger + Vidal + Lahm + Silva

Enq

I think my offer my far fairer:

Fab > Scwein
Yaya > Vidal
Richards < Lahm
Kompany > Silva

What did you make of it?

I still have the issue that I already have Walker in the role that I'd be getting Richards for so I'm effectively losing 2 for 1.

With the above I'd have Silva>Kompany personally.

Robben/Silva
=
Yaya/Sneijder
---------------------
I prefer my two as they are on form and can play all around the midfield

Silva
=
Fabregas?.
------------------------
I still want to keep both Robben and Silva to be honest

Yaya Toure + Richards
for
Khedeira/Javi Martinez + Bosingwa

Great deal with the Masch + Torres + Cole BTW

So the following?

Fab + Yaya + Richards
for
Vidal + Schwein + Lahm?

pullthestrings wrote:Fab + Yaya + Richards
for
Vidal + Schwein + Lahm?

==

If you could substitute Fab for Sneijder I'd probably deal. At the moment I see it as:

Fab > Vidal
Yaya > Schwein
Richards < Lahm

I'd be surprised if many people in here thought Yaya > Schwein
Sorry I'm not interested in Wesley.

can you replace him with Santos?

what for Scwestger.?

Scwenstgier = higuan

Scwenstgier for some one else?

need to keep Alonso.

Swenstiger + Lahm = Zanetti + hernandez + Park + 4m

TheBrahmaBull wrote:Swenstiger + Lahm = Zanetti + hernandez + Park + 4m

any chance?

Zanetti + Mata + Hernandez+4m = Lahm and Swenstiger?

taht any good. you get Mata and Zanetti.

Mata+Zanetti + hernnadez + ??? + 6m =Lahm + Swenstiger

how about i let you pick the other guy?

if not how about

Mata + Higuin + 6m?

No thanks. Essentially trading the same player.

Schweinsteiger for Mata.

Deal?

nah dont want Torres thats why i sold him lol.

just Mata for Schweinstiger deal? if not ill throw in 3m.

no deal.

Mata+4m = Schweinstiger?

i couldnt do tht tbh pull need to keep aguero

Bull, you make the offer of Mata +£4m = Schweinsteiger and then follow it up with Mata = Schweinsteiger?

Mata + 6m = Schweinstiegr
