Pity that I can't sell the mention players as I don't think the replacements that you may offer will be the same quality.
I may be wrong though

by Hodgey Thu 16 Feb 2012 - 23:23

If I were to get Drogba, would you be interested in a deal for Tevez?

by Hodgey Fri 17 Feb 2012 - 0:12

Drogba + Sturridge
for
Johnson + Tevez

by The Special Juan Fri 17 Feb 2012 - 5:18

Actually, seeing as I only have 14 players, I can't sell Butt. Sorry.

20m + Koscienly + Song
For
Kompany + Toure

Mate,

Kompany > Koscienly
Toure >> Song

If you can name me a player in the world for £25 mil (£20 mil plus the £5 mil I have) who would make up for those losses I'll deal.

Javi Martinez
Ricardo Montolivo
Nevin Subotic
Mamadou Sahko
Fernando
Claudio Marchisio
Diego Godin
Adil Rami
Ever Banega
Joao Moutinho
Javi Garcia

There's a few to choose between

by **ADMIN** Fri 17 Feb 2012 - 10:59

Or it could get you Hamsik, Hulk, Falcao, Llorente, Negrado, Eriksen, Pereira, Rodriguez, Hernanes, Damiao, Gokhan, Shaqiri etc etc if you want to improve elsewhere.

by pullthestrings Fri 17 Feb 2012 - 11:03

None of those players make up for the losses though..

by **ADMIN** Fri 17 Feb 2012 - 11:05

Song is in most top ten defensive midfielder lists online so he's a decent trade off for Toure albeit a bit behind. Same goes for Koscienly.
And that's why the 20m comes in which could get you Hulk or Falcao etc who are both WC players without question.

by kamran Fri 17 Feb 2012 - 20:52

Milner/Barry + De Jong + Nasri + Tevez
=
De Rossi + Rooney + Soldado
--------------------------------
Decent offer mate but Tevez is an issue because nobody knows when he will play even though he is still class and maybe his predos may drop because of it (hope not)

Mata has played behind the striker once or twice so will stick with him for the time being.

Not interested in De Jong/Barry/Milner

sorry pal

by kamran Fri 17 Feb 2012 - 21:03

Cheers Pull - good advice.

Don't sell Tevez for cheap either.
Just because his head is screwed up doesnt mean he is no better.

One of the best around when on the pitch

by Cor Blimey Guvnor Fri 17 Feb 2012 - 22:59

Tevez + Nasri
=
Sneijder + Pazzini
-----------------

Certainly a tempting one. Tevez ought to be rated regardless of his recent troubles but not sure whether he will be marked down due to those troubles.

I'm going to say maybe atm since I want to check out the other managers and see what other options are available. I'll get back to you on this.

what for adam johnson?

Lampard & Ramires for Yaya?

by **ADMIN** Sat 18 Feb 2012 - 21:11

Kompany and Balotelli
For
Koscienly and Benzema?

Enq

by pullthestrings Mon 20 Feb 2012 - 4:14

Your injuries are as follows:

Nigel de Jong - Round 2
Jesus Navas - Round 3
Pablo Zabaleta - Round 4
David Pizzaro - Round 5

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

by Hodgey Mon 20 Feb 2012 - 4:16

Valencia, Marcelo, Lampard, Kaka, Ferdinand
for
Navas, Clichy, Nasri, Yaya, Kompany?

Enq.

by Hodgey Mon 20 Feb 2012 - 4:32

Thought Navas was only => Valencia if that. I prefer Valencia to Johnson.

Kaka, Marcelo, Ferdinand
for
Yaya, Clichy, Kompany

by Hodgey Mon 20 Feb 2012 - 4:44

Yaya + Nasri + Kompany + Clichy
=
Rio + Kaka + Essien + Marcelo

Sorry mate, I have no interest in Nasri.

by SuperPav9 Mon 20 Feb 2012 - 4:53

Have no interest in Barry, sorry. £5 mill isn't enough for me to get in a bog standard back up keeper neither.

by Guest Mon 20 Feb 2012 - 7:26

Maicon
=
Richards?

No thanks

by Cor Blimey Guvnor Mon 20 Feb 2012 - 22:01

It's a good offer but I am going to leave it for now until I've had a chance to sort out my injured players.

by Cor Blimey Guvnor Tue 21 Feb 2012 - 1:15

Building on your previous offer

Tevez + Nasri + Navas
for
Sneijder + Pazinni + Cazorla

Enq only

by Cor Blimey Guvnor Tue 21 Feb 2012 - 3:01

If I were to add Cesar for Hart, I'd need Di Maria, not Navas. I know Cesar is injured but I can use him for a decent deal at some point so not letting him go cheaply.

by Cor Blimey Guvnor Tue 21 Feb 2012 - 3:26

Do you mean

Tevez + Nasri + Navas
for
Sneijder + Pazinni + Cazorla

If so, I would deal on that. Let me know.

by kamran Tue 21 Feb 2012 - 20:55

Yaya Toure + Navas + Tevez
for
De Rossi + Podolski + Soldado

Helps your injured Navas too

by kamran Tue 21 Feb 2012 - 21:11

De Rossi + Malouda + Merieles + Romeu
for
Yaya + A Johnson

by **ADMIN** Wed 22 Feb 2012 - 7:18

Yes we did at the weekend I think

by **ADMIN** Wed 22 Feb 2012 - 10:48

I'd be interested in the firework mentalist if you are thinking of offloading him.

by **ADMIN** Wed 22 Feb 2012 - 10:54

No idea lol, who would you be interested in?

by Fluxy Wed 22 Feb 2012 - 11:32

I couldn't give you Pedro for that much!

Puyol + Fabregas + Pedro
=
Albiol + Yaya + £10m

Maybe?

by kamran Thu 23 Feb 2012 - 2:25

Interested in Bosingwa, Evra, De Rossi, Rooney, Mata
---------------------------------------------
De Rossi is out of limits at the minute otherwise I would be in the same prediciment as you.
Saying that..you got a great deal from Barca

by kamran Thu 23 Feb 2012 - 2:36

I should have stated that in a less critical way

I meant to say that even though you have De Jong, your other midfielders are mainly attackers - you do might need another proper DM to balance the midfield.

by The Special Juan Thu 23 Feb 2012 - 2:53

Injuries have been kind to me this month so I'm not looking to offload anyone but depending on next month we might be able to work something out.

Any deal that may be done will need to include money so I can bulk my squad out. After releasing 8 players I only got £10m so I'm a little light on moneys. :/

by Cor Blimey Guvnor Thu 23 Feb 2012 - 2:54

Not interested in that I'm afraid. Many on here rate Hazard, probably more so than Navas. Sneijder is definitely > Nasri.

Would need more to lose Wes.

by Cor Blimey Guvnor Thu 23 Feb 2012 - 3:22

Poss

Pedro + Nasri
=
Sneijder + Pazzini

?
---------------------------

Poss not.

You previously offered Tevez in that deal rather than Pedro. I rate Tevez > Pedro.

Pedro + Nasri + Navas + Tevez
=
Sneijder + Pazzini + Cazorla + Forlan

Maybe

by Guest Thu 23 Feb 2012 - 4:33

sorry, he is nfs

by footballcrazy Thu 23 Feb 2012 - 4:44

adam johnson?

maxi+2m=johnson

enq

by **ADMIN** Thu 23 Feb 2012 - 9:47

Sagna, Koscienly and Ox
For
Richards and Kompany?

by **ADMIN** Thu 23 Feb 2012 - 10:08

Could chuck in Sahin as an extra if Ozil/Nasri isn't in the deal. He's worth a good 15m

by Cor Blimey Guvnor Thu 23 Feb 2012 - 10:46

What if I added Cesar for Hart to even things up a bit?

by **ADMIN** Thu 23 Feb 2012 - 21:05

Macclads wrote:Could chuck in Sahin as an extra if Ozil/Nasri isn't in the deal. He's worth a good 15m

If Ozil/Nasri is included could you sweeten it with a few mil and I'll go for it.

by Cor Blimey Guvnor Thu 23 Feb 2012 - 23:42

Pedro + Nasri + Navas + Tevez
=
Sneijder + Pazzini + Cazorla + Forlan

==

I can't do this. 3 losses and 1 gain.. it's not worth it. I would need you to drop one of Navas/Pedro and Cazorla.. is that doable?
-------------------------------------------

Did you see my comment about adding Cesar for Hart?

i.e.

Pedro + Nasri + Navas + Tevez + Cesar
=
Sneijder + Pazzini + Cazorla + Forlan + Hart

or maybe

Pedro + Nasri + Tevez
for
Sneijder + Pazzini + Diego Milito

by **ADMIN** Thu 23 Feb 2012 - 23:59

Aye go on then, deal on the following...

Ozil, Ox, Badstuber and Sagna

for

Nasri, Navas, Kompany and Richards

by Cor Blimey Guvnor Fri 24 Feb 2012 - 0:29

I can just about do

Pedro + Nasri + Tevez
for
Sneijder + Pazzini + Forlan
--------------------

Re Navas & Pedro, it depends on how you rate Cazorla vs Navas. Not much in it imo but shall we do the above to get things moving again?

by **ADMIN** Fri 24 Feb 2012 - 8:59

Is there anything we can resurect on Kompany?

by cherriesfna Fri 24 Feb 2012 - 20:47

wallcott+ gervinho = jesus
