Budget - £21million

Maicon + Busquets
for
Essien + Arbeloa/Smalling

No thanks

No thanks. The Schwein is irreplaceable.

No thanks bud. Too big a drop these days from Sneijder to Kaka. Would need other improvements to consider it.

Sturridge + Lampard
for
Gerrard + Kuyt
------------
do you have sturridge? it doesnt say in your squad

Lampard + Cole
for
Evra + de Rossi?
------------------------
Lamps not a natural DM thats why I cant deal
I need Essien to carry Carrick otherwise I would have two midfields who can't put a tackle in

Essien + Valencia
for
de Rossi + Mata
--------------------------
sorry for the late reply

I prefer Mata as he can play all over the midfield

César, Cambiasso, Zanetti, Sneijder, Milito
for
Welbeck, de Gea, Essien, Smalling, Kaká
------------------

Missed this one. Sorry bud.

César > de Gea
Cambiasso = Essien
Zanetti = Smalling
Sneijder > Kaka
Milito > Welbeck

Only my view on the respective ratings but it doesn't appeal as things stand. I have a thought on a counter offer but not sure who your main target was.

Looking at Kaka's record at Madrid, it stands good comparison with that of Sneijder at Inter despite Kaka's supposed struggles, yet I imagine Wes is rated higher on here.

valencia+x
=
stankovic+x

enq

you can play stankovic with essien as DM

Lampard + Welbeck for Huntelaar + Gerrard?
---------
gerrard is playing regularly atm irl and dont wana lose him

What would you like for Silva?

I cannot see for the life of me where I gain in that, I lose out on five out of six players IMO

De Gea for Chesney?

De Gea and Silva
For
Chesney, Howedes and Song?

Essien + ?
=
De Jong + ?

No thanks. Took a while to improve on Khedira without loosing Alonso and want to stick with it.

Ibra + Marcelo + Lindegaard
=
Villa + Adriano + Pinto

Ibrahimovic & Valencia
for
Silva & Aguero
------------------------
I rate my two higher mate thats why I cant deal

sorry

Surprised you haven't noticed yet mate, but I'm not interested in Vidic or Lampard

You don't have Alves mate?

But assuming that's Arbeloa, I wouldn't do it. The classic 2 losses one gain.. And not when the gain is at RB, and negligible.

Nah, again not enough of a gain, if a gain at all.

Toulalon + puyol
=
Essien + silva

Enq

Keen on Essien.. that's about it though.

I'm still interested in Silva

Corinthians offer £7 mil for Fabio.

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

Not for me. I don't want Lamps.

For me:

Vidic>= Lucio
Ibra = Tevez
Valencia < Pedro
Lampard < Cambiassoe

Probably something here. I assume you are after Camb..

Silva for Song and your choice of Howedes, Badstuber or Koscienly?

I cannot afford to lose Cambiasso without a DM replacement. I am playing Madrid so would get murdered in predos.

van der Vaart + Bale for Valencia + Kaka?

Sorry, no interest in Valencia or Kaka

Sorry, I'm only really interested in Silva from your team at present.

How about Arbeloa and Silva
For Sagna and your choice of Koscienly or Badstuber?

Arbeloa is not anywhere near Sagna sorry.

Lampard + Kaka for Khedira + Rooney?
-------------------------
I need Khedeira as he is more natural DM than Lamps

Really impressed with that team you got now.
Quality back 4, top DM, top AM and Ibra...not bad at all

Not interested in Lampard or Vidic

Would do;

Pinto + Abidal + Villa + Keita
=
Lindegaard + Thiago Silva + Ibra + Aquilani

Enq

Done a deal with Guv with Valdes & Pepe so don't have them no more. Not looking to loose Villa either. Wanted to put him with Torres which is why persisted with Barca.

T. Silva, Marcelo & Essien
for
Carvalho, A. Cole & Mascherano

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

enq.

Will leave it then.

Don't really fancy that. Rafael is fine at RB. I'm not convinced Smalling is rated any higher if even equal. Lampard has lost some of his rating now and Tevez will get me goals.

All in all, not enough to convince me to sell Cambiasso.

Lampard + Kaka for Suarez + Cambiasso

-----------------------------

Good enquiry. Not so long ago I'd have jumped at this but I am pondering atm. Will let you know shortly.

Sorry mate, I wouldn't. It leaves me short in the striker department and I am not keen on Lampard atm.

Maybe

Cambiasso + Suarez + Tevez
for
Lampard + Kaka + Ibra

Enq only

Essien + Valencia
=
Di Maria + Toulalon

enq.

Really not keen on Lampard mate... mainly Essien - could you change it? Could include Yaya?

No thanks. Lampard is past it now.

Vidic + Essien
=
Yaya + Kompany

enq.

Lampard + Kaka for Cambiasso + Modric

I shall pass on that personally believe lampard and kaka are past there best days by a long way

What for Essien?

Yaya?

No thanks... Lamps in poor form and Essien not played in months!

As Hero said on the main page, last night doesn't relieve months of poor form.

Yaya is playing better than both!

Your injuries are as follows:

Antonio Valencia - Round 5
Antonio Cassano - Round 6
Danny Welbeck - Round 7
Anderson - 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.

Aguero for Kaka?
-----------------------
Sorry mate...different leagues at the moment
