Money, as you know, makes no difference.

Hazard>Carzola
Jovetic>VDV
Vidic>Vertonghen (but that might change next season as Vidic is older and Vertonghen is at a PL club)

So no thanks

Cazorla + Vidic + Abate + VDV + Giovinco + Cuenca
for
Hazard + Vertonghen + Jovetic + Lichtsteiner

Nope.......making life difficult for yourself.

Jovetic + Smalling = Vidic + Carzola + Rafael Van Der Vaart

I doubt you would be able to offer me a good enough deal to take the pair tbh

To be honest, I doubt I can beat Viva enough to beat Marky. So I am preparing for next season. If that means hanging onto Smalling a bit longer than so be it.

I have a great midfield and I would be stupid to destroy it on the off chance that it may be enough to win me the title.

True, but I think Hazard will become the new RVP x2

What would you want for Abate Hero?

i have first dibs hero dont forget.

Bull, you have the right to jack yourself and that's about it.

16m + Chicharito
=
Higuain

If you don't want him, put him on lawyers at the end of the season and it'd be a further 20m.

I know a minute ago I said I didn't want VDV, but in terms of rating in this league VDV > Thiago, so I would want VDV in the deal. But I would want more than you are offering, in terms of cash or player

Let me think about it. VDV + £16.5M right?

Fair enough I'll just watch Moura do well at the Olympics and move to Utd then , while Sigurdsson overtakes VDV in Spurs's pecking order

he wont move.

Plus you should ignore TM, Lucas Moura is a winger. Not worth losing VDV with intentions of playing Lucas at AM.

Moura is a cross between Theo Walcott and the old Denilson.

I'm back

What would you want for either Abate or Richards?

i have first dibs on Abate dont forget =)

what would you like hero?

Cash? etc?

Begins with N ends with o way

Cash?

i can bid again though right?

ok hows 14m?

Right going to do my big shop. Back in a bit.

If you really want Moura mate, I'm sure we can work something out involving Abate coming my way as well. But as I have shown so far, I want a lot for him

Hero wrote:VDV & Abate & 10m
For
Moura & Isla

ENQ

Tempting offer that. But I am really not keen on losing Isla at all tbh. I take Isla out you take out the 10m?

16m for Abate

Ok if you up it to £12M I accept your deal

Confirmed mate.

Sorry about being a dick earlier, I was in a terrible mood, and was well being a Bar Steward

Did you sign the Cirigliano bloke?

Bertrand, how much end of season wise?

Hypothetically, it would take a deal which is lopsided on my side player wise, which I then balance off with cash.

Hummels, Cazorla, Toure, Pastore and Higuain are the players I would be interested in (obviously not all of them!!).

BTW - you still have Abate listed in your squad.

Cheers

Sebastian Giovinco plus £5m for Riccardo Montolivo

Higuain

Also, is the star player limit definitely 35m?

Cazorla + Higuain
=
Di Maria + Welbeck

Welbeck is U21 though. What about Chicharito, could chuck him in lawyers and get 20m for him if you don't want to use him?

M'Vila for De Jong?

I'd want cash on your side for that to go through.

Why do you want another LB?

anyone and your have more defenders then i did at the start

M'Vila and Shawcross for de Jong, Papadoupoulos and cash?

enq

(also interested in Coates)

M'Vila and Deulofeu for de Jong and Coates?

Feel I'm losing out there mate so no

Is Vidic for sale?

Hummles = 20m?

24m?

could get an awesome replacement with that money

Bearing in mind the players available in Star Players, would you accept £28m for Chiellini? £13m now, £15m as soon as I get my prize money?

Hero wrote:Seem to recall offering you this a few weeks ago...

Cazorla & Vidic & VDV & 16.5m
for
Hazard & Vertonghen & Jovetic

Should have bitten my hand off for it.

Not really. I am looking for a CB, so I would be stupid to sell my existing best one. Hazard (I am hoping) will be absolutly huge. And regardless, I am not selling him until I actually see him in action for Chelsea.

If I could sell Jovetic for Vidic then I would do that. But I doubt you would accept that deal

What do you want for Vidic then?

i might want Vidic as well. I have cash

I don't want cash for him Bull, I want a quality player only.
Yes cash buys me a quality player but I can generate that myself and I can only buy one star player.

No I think I will leave it. Yes you are right, Hazard might be a flop. But Vidic won't win me matches. Hazard has the potential to.

If Hazard goes I would want a replacement AND Vidic. Even then I would need a lot of thinking about it

Sorry, it would rollover into next season and I don't want to do that.

Vucinic in a 3 game loan swap for one of Vidic, Hummels or Chiellini

(that would be until after week 3 next season to cover the 3 game minimum for me)

Demba Ba interest you?
