Interested in hangeland and clichy

Offering money and or part exchange

by nadeem2099 Wed 27 Jul 2011, 10:56 am

coulibaley is a season long loan (i think with an option to buy at end of season)

Huddlestone is in on loan from everton for 5 games so your gonna have to ask him how many games left.

Try and get a new left back. If clichey gets injured then you havent got a replacement left back. I went for roberto carlos but couldn't get him.

Good luck.

by Trebs Wed 27 Jul 2011, 11:13 am

Okay cheers nadeem, will take those on board.

Who is Adrian? And Serrano?

by nadeem2099 Wed 27 Jul 2011, 12:59 pm

mate i've made some mistakes on my villa page so i'll let you know what they are.

Put Mark Gonzalez in your team. I bought him for 6.5mill from foreigns but forgot to update page. Your budget should be 3.5mill.

Adrian is a good young player. He was a starter in Spains u21 last month and just signed for atletico madrid irl. Serano was already in the squad but i dont know alot about him.
Also i wouldn't sell bruno alves. I bought him last week for 21mill and he is rated very highly.
If you got any more questions ask the other managers as im off now for a month.

by Tranquil Chaos Wed 27 Jul 2011, 1:14 pm

hi otw, im interested in taking andy carroll off your hands, take a look at my team and see if a deal interests you (can offer cash or p/ex)

by FIFA Diva Wed 27 Jul 2011, 2:47 pm

I just bought Young of Villa about a week ago and he is yet to play for me, I don't think I'll let him go unless I get three players for him, CB, RM, CF, something like Hazard, Caroll and Alves. Or £35m cash for him.

Quag and Kane are my only strikers Cardozo is only on loan if I sell Quag I will only have young Kane as my only striker. But I am willing to sell Quag for £20m.

by FIFA Diva Wed 27 Jul 2011, 2:55 pm

In total it's £30m deal I did.

But I paid him £25m upfront with a furthur £5m at end of the season.

by Tranquil Chaos Wed 27 Jul 2011, 3:22 pm

well the previous manager valued him at 26m, and i offered 24, which he could respond to as he left the game, so that would be my offer

by Tranquil Chaos Wed 27 Jul 2011, 3:29 pm

ok no worries

by nick_fury Wed 27 Jul 2011, 3:43 pm

Ziegler - £7m
Addison - No Sale For.

by Gregers Wed 27 Jul 2011, 4:43 pm

How about:

Clichy + Flamini

4

Gibson + Marchena?

by Gregers Wed 27 Jul 2011, 4:49 pm

Gibson and Crouch are open to offers

Ben Arfa would take a big bid or part exchange as I've only just bought him

Torres, not sure on so offer Smile

Jansen not for sale...

by Gregers Thu 28 Jul 2011, 9:55 am

Not interested in Diarra, who is Gonzalez?

Cahill possibly... same with Reyes if he's still rated?

How about:

Gibson, Torres and Crouch for Flamini, Cuellar and Hazard?

I can add to my side if needed? Or we can add Cahill to your side plus a player on my side?

Ben Arfa for Clichy?

by Gregers Thu 28 Jul 2011, 10:08 am

Okay thought I was being a bit too cheeky :P

Crouch is definitely up for sale.

How about Crouch + Gibson for Flamini + Delph?

by Gregers Thu 28 Jul 2011, 10:14 am

Offer stands at:

Crouch + Gibson for Flamini + Delph

Other offer, how about:

Ben Arfa = Reyes + £2.5 million
or
Ben Arfa = Gonzalez + £5 million

by Gregers Thu 28 Jul 2011, 10:39 am

Cheers, do you want to confirm them?

Still interested in Clichy... how about for £10 million?

by Gregers Thu 28 Jul 2011, 10:44 am

Clichy for Torres and £8 million? lol

by PINEAPPLEHEAD Thu 28 Jul 2011, 11:43 am

by PINEAPPLEHEAD Thu 28 Jul 2011, 11:58 am

THANKS CAN U CONFIRM PLS
AN WAT CAN I DO 4 HAZARD

by smartestgooner Mon 01 Aug 2011, 5:21 pm

Your cup tactics are due in today

by FIFA Diva Tue 02 Aug 2011, 11:49 am

Joan Capdevilla - £7m

by Gregers Tue 02 Aug 2011, 11:52 am

Hazard for Jovetic?

by smartestgooner Tue 02 Aug 2011, 12:06 pm

What for Eden Hazard?

by **Afro** Thu 04 Aug 2011, 10:36 am

£10m for Capdevila? ENQ

by puntingred Thu 04 Aug 2011, 5:01 pm

What for Ben Arfa + Hangeland? Birmingham.

by **Afro** Fri 05 Aug 2011, 9:19 am

Well, I have a potential £20m offer for Taiwo...

How about Taiwo + Menez = Capdevila + Hazard?

by **Afro** Fri 05 Aug 2011, 9:28 am

Yeah so would I. I would also prefer Taiwo to Capdevila, hence balancing out the deal.

You don't have a natural left sided midfielder with Hazard being more right sided/central and Ben Arfa definately being better on the right. Menez would give you more balance.

I'm the opposite in that I have Turan and Menez, so two more naturally left sided players

by smartestgooner Fri 05 Aug 2011, 9:53 am

Sorry mouse I think Mata is quite a bit better than Hazard at this stage in their careers.
Just to let you know this is the last week you have Tom Huddlestone on loan (unfortunately he is injured though lol) but for fixture 6 he will return to Everton

by FIFA Diva Fri 05 Aug 2011, 10:15 am

No I don't need a LB. Thanks.

by FIFA Diva Fri 05 Aug 2011, 10:44 am

Yeah I was because I had lawyers offer for my LB, I did ask Nadeem but he wouldnt sell Capdvilla. I would have bought Capdevilla of you if I had the money.

by Tranquil Chaos Fri 05 Aug 2011, 12:17 pm

i dont have 25m cash at this time, i can offer 23m or i can offer 12.5m + rondon + izaguirre (as id get 10.5m for releasing those 2 players and you may get more value in keeping them)

by Tranquil Chaos Fri 05 Aug 2011, 12:46 pm

yeah ok i can do that, you can either have the 20m cash or 9.5m +izaguirre + rondon (as you can release them for half what they were brought for into the league at any time, which is 4m and 6.5m respectively)

by Tranquil Chaos Fri 05 Aug 2011, 12:49 pm

ok deal

by **Afro** Fri 05 Aug 2011, 1:38 pm

Sorry, those players are not for sale and I am not interested in Josue or Ben Arfa

by **Afro** Fri 05 Aug 2011, 1:43 pm

I didn't. I said I would rather have Hazard than Menez.

by **Afro** Fri 05 Aug 2011, 1:49 pm

Parker may become available, but at the moment, I only have him and Fellaini on loan. If I sell and can't get a replacement for Fellaini, then I am stuffed.

by **Afro** Fri 05 Aug 2011, 1:57 pm

I play them both. What I meant was that I would go from having both my starting CMs to having neither!

Like I said to Viva with Taiwo, all my players have a price, but for my first teamers, it will take an offer well above market rate

by smartestgooner Fri 05 Aug 2011, 2:15 pm

Thanks mate, Raul Meireles is not for sale until I can find a replacement. I'll have a think about it as I'm open to letting him go if I can improve on him.

by puntingred Fri 05 Aug 2011, 8:45 pm

Hangeland + Ben Arfa
=
Bonucci + ?

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

? = Jadson?

by puntingred Fri 05 Aug 2011, 9:12 pm

Well, thats fair enough. 3.5M?

by puntingred Sat 06 Aug 2011, 7:30 pm

I didn't do a deal for Diarra in the end, wanted to see how this weeks match went.

And erm, Bonucci/Hangeland I would be interested in, if maybe you could loan me one of your MIDS for some cash?

by puntingred Sat 06 Aug 2011, 7:37 pm

Thats definately a deal I'd be interested in, but I told the others to wait on Vidal. I have to be fair to BigFella and Smartest and tell them that I'm listening to offers. After this weeks match. Sorry.

by puntingred Sat 06 Aug 2011, 7:48 pm

I will do. Cheers. Anyhow, I'm off for dinner.

by puntingred Mon 08 Aug 2011, 10:39 am

I'm willing to do that deal. Are you still on for it?

by puntingred Mon 08 Aug 2011, 11:00 am

Ok, I will confirm:

M. Diarra + Hangeland + Gonzalez
=
Vidal + Bonucci

by **Afro** Mon 08 Aug 2011, 11:01 am

Taiwo + Parker + Lugano = Capdevila + Vidal + Bonucci?

by **Afro** Mon 08 Aug 2011, 11:17 am

I am only going to sell Taiwo and buy Capdevila in order to fund a move for Vidal and Bonucci.

So my offer would be

Parker + Lugano + £20m = Vidal + Capdevila + Bonucci

Could take out Lugano and Bonucci.

by **Afro** Mon 08 Aug 2011, 11:26 am

OK.

That was a great deal you got with Brum.

Their best two players - one of the best DMs in the league and one of the best CBs - for an unrated DM (M. Diarra), a CB who's rating has plummeted (Hangeland) and a winger with no rating at all (Gonzalez). Good work!!

Also, IMO Vidal > L. Diarra, especially now he is at Juve. I personally think you would be nuts to swap them
