so then Gotze as he has not yet left and is keen to join SEU

i can offeer what you wish i hope so then whats will it take have offered a few on your page,.

Fair enough. I'll keep Higuain, and you keep Ba

Cardozo and Bender?

ENQ for now domnt confirm if you accpet

Straight away, no. Sorry.

Gotze's a good player but I'd sooner have the wide player. Welbeck is a big loss, I'm a massive fan of him. If I could get a three of Muller, Gotze and Hazard behind Matri I'd be happy though, any way I could achieve that?

So,
Welbeck + ?
=
Gotze

Even worse for me, I sold Alacantra because I don't think he's going to be all that personally, I think he'll be a decent player but in the lifetime of this league he's not worth signing IMO.

I'm not a fan of Giovinco as I've said before, I'm certainly not losing two of my best three players to sign the players you are offering.

Want either Yaya Toure or Gotze, would there be anything possible in the terms above?

Or

Lass + Hazard + Welbeck + Robinho/Nolito
=
Yaya Toure + Gotze + Ba + Cazorla

Lassana < Toure
Hazard > Gotze
Welbeck > Ba
Robinho < Cazorla

Gotze and Ba = Ganso, Adebayor and £2.4M now and ??? later
ENQ

Replacement AM, better striker and some cash to add to the kitty with.

Cardozo + Cash = Gotze ( on his own)?

Gotze, Ayew and Ba for Hazard and Welbeck?

Getting warmer. I want Cazorla or Yaya though in that kind of deal.

Maybe we could compromise and do

Gotze + Ba + Toure
=
Hazard + Welbeck + Lassana (or any CM you want)

Cardozo+4.5m is a good deal hero for Gotze?

it gives you a better striker then Ba.

you could all ways sell him top lawyers which would mean an offer of 19m ish which is pretty good for a replacement.

so any way its possible?

Cardozo+4.5m for Gotze?

No Bull

Bender + 10m for him? (Gotze)

Please stop

fine whatever.

No deal hero.

I'll make a counter offer

Negredo + Valencia + Carrick + 10mill = Ba + Cazorla + Yaya Toure

Any deal for Jovetic would have to beat Twists offer as I say, and I'm not interested in Ba or Xhaka really

Not sure there is anyone I can see you wanting to part with, but it'd be VDV, Thiago or maybe Giovinco

Hummels, Gotze and Ba
=
Van Buyten, Gourcuff and Higuain
Non-negotiable ENQ

Can we continue negotiations from last night?

I didn't expect you to deal on that, was more of an enquiry to see if Higuain meant that much to you that you'd lose Hummels and Gotze for lesser replacements.

Not to worry

Hero wrote:Please stop

Firstly, that made me chuckle when I read up your page

Secondly, yes I would do Bertrand/Giovinco + £16m for Jovetic over Twist's offer.

I want to be fair though, so I get the feeling I should wait and see if he wants to up his offer before I confirm anything, but yours is the benchmark now.

Well, Hazard is more of use to you than Gotze now you have Van Der Vaart, and I'd sooner have Welbeck then Ba, which I'm sure you'd agree with.

I'd either want Cazorla or Toure included, or Hazard not included.

Robinho + Welbeck
=
Gotze + Ba

or

Hazard + Welbeck + ?
=
Gotze + Ba + Cazorla

Are either De Jong or VDV available?

Sorry mate. I have already agreed the deal with Gregers.

De Jong, what would you want mate?

I'd be interested in a deal involving Moura and Cambiasso.

Moura and Fabio for Bertrand and Cambiasso and cash?

enq

Of the two I'd rather lose Biglia than Moura,

Cambiasso and Bertrand for Biglia? enq only

Any chance of a Lucas Moura for Santi Cazorla deal?

I can add cash my end, but if not then Lucas is NFS.

Make an offer, don't go all Bull on me

As Vince McMahon would say, "No chance in hell"

Would want more than the £40 million I paid for him

Well if I'm honest if I always said if I was going to give up my star player I wanted somebody elses involved in the deal.

So I would want Yaya + ?? = Bale (and I doubt you will want to give him up)

So, how can I get Higuain off you

Richards or Baines for Subotic?

Can offer Hernandez and/or Welbeck in a deal if that helps?

Alright no worries, I'm wanting to revamp my squad. What would be required for Santi Cazorla and Van Der Vaart? Can give you a backup striker which you could do with.

Van Der Vaart + Santi Cazorla + Yaya Toure + Andre Ayew
=
Hernandez + Hazard + Carrick + Nolito/Ben Arfa

I fancy a mix up of my side too, reckon we could do a good deal. Happy with my French back four so wouldn't want to lose them, willing to use anyone else.

I would be prepared to offer you 25m for Cambiasso + Subotic but.....

1) I want them both before the game tomorrow
2) And the deal is for both. I don't want one or the other.

ENQ (Just going to get dinner so I be back in 30mins)

No thanks then

£18.5 million for Subotic?

Hero wrote:The following are now available on a first come first served basis...

VDW 10m
Papadopolous 8m
Coates 5m
Bertrand 3m
Xhaka 7m
Ayew 10m
Cuenca 10m

Can we work something out for VDW. I wanna get rid of Evra tbh mate. Maybe Evra = VDW?

But don't you want to rebuild your plethora of left backs?

Ok how about £8 million for VDW?

I can give you all my cash which is £9.5 million

Micah Richards = Van Der Weil + £6 million

Vidic to you for 3 weeks
Lewandowski to me for 3 weeks.

That interests me, but how about an option to make the swap permanent?

Loan swap for 4 weeks to see me a bit further into the season?

Plus I get first refusal should you sell Chiellini, Hummels or Vidic permanently (whichever you sell first)

Confirmed

Hero wrote:Giovinco and Xhaka for Reus?

Although it is a good deal on paper, I am not that interested in them. I would much rather upgrade Reus by offering him + cash.

However, if you put Isaac Cuenca in the deal, then I may consider it

No thanks....all 3 or nothing cheers
