Budget: £10m

I think we were haggling over possible add ons to the main course.

Kaka + Pedro + Alex + Meireles + Keita
for
Gerrard + Silva + Toure + Barry + Maxi
-------------------------------------------

Sure you won't make it Mata? Both he and Silva are more naturally left sided which makes the swap more logical.

Torres, Mata if only we had Silva as well.

I may regret this but let's do it. Confirm my page.

name your price on ozil

Ferdinand + Rooney
=
Terry + Torres

Drogba + Luiz + Ivanovic + Abidal + Ramires
for
Berbatov + Rio + Rafael + Evra + Valencia

==========

Not a bad offer mate, but i think that makes me weaker. Think i can use Berba and Valencia to improve the main areas of my team.

Think i can get a better deal elsewhere mate.

Still after Özil and Ivanovic... But I guess for Özil you'd want Nasri, which would scupper my plans of moving Nasri out to the LW and play Özil through the middle...
And I guess it'd be the same story for Mata or Silva, correct?

Luiz + Ivanovic + Abidal + Drogba
for
Rio + Evra + Rafael + £10m

---------

Think i lose out more here pal.

How about:

Ferdinand + Evra + Rafael + 10m
=
Ivanovic + Abidal + Bosingwa + Drogba

No thanks, prefer Ozil and I'm wanting to do something like Khedira + ? = better CM

----------------Alonso
--------Schwein-----????

Chivu + Marchena
for
Abidal + Ivanovic

Enquiry

I rate Chivu > Abidal for the record which is the basis of the enquiry.

Sorry mate not looking to lose Cambiasso, Maicon and Lucio.

How do releases work mate?

OK. Anything possible for Ivanovic then?

What for Ivanovic?

Cheers mate

Any chance of you doing it tommorow

What would you be willing to do:

Marcelo + ?
=
Abidal + ?

I rate Marcelo > Abidal, assuming you do too?

Thing is, Cole's better than anyone apart from maybe Evra, but that's debatable. I'd say they're equal.

Ok mate. Erm..

Ferdinand + Berbatov + P.Jones
=
Ivanovic + Drogba + D.Luiz

Enquiry

I think after Evra though, Marcelo's your best bet so come to me if you want

And Rafinha an improvement on Bosingwa maybe?

Offer for Sagna mate - finding it difficult to devise an offer


What a midfield you got

Then i would weaken my first team twice..

Bosingwa + Simao/Maxi
for
Sagna + Arteta?
-------------------------
Not sure if Simao/Maxi ratings will be as higher than Arteta tbh
No deal at the moment.
Hoping to deal with Guv if he doesnt get a better offer

No mate. Ferdinand is gone now anyway

Bosingwa/Ivanovic + Drogba
for
Sagna + Ibra?
--------------------

Although I personally rate the Chelsea players better, I am not convinced my view is the consenus on here. I think Sagna and Ibra are rated marginally higher. As such, I'm going to say no deal unless I can gain elsewhere as well.

You may be right although I am now curious to find out (not that I'm bored or anything like that!)

Yes but I'll think after foreigns.

Drogba

Ibra is not fit to lace his boots imo but in this game....

Sagna + Carroll / Balotelli
for
Ivanovic + Drogba

Just getting your attention!

Sagna + Adam Johnson + Given
for
Ivanovic + Simao/Maxi + Cech

may be more of interest

I'll go with Maxi.

Sagna + AJ + Given
for
Ivanovic + Maxi + Cech.

Deal.

Marcelo > Abidal
Rafinha > Bosingwa

Sorry, if it were Sagna I'd be interested.

Rafinha's has been excellent for Bayern since joining and I reckon he is generally preferred on here to Bosingwa.

Not interested in either of those mate

Torres + Mata + Silva + Abidal
=
Benzema + Di Miria + Muller + Marcelo

Two gains, two losses each and you lose two Chelsea originals.

Really surprised at that

Torres > Benzema
Mata < Di Miria
Silva > Muller
Abidal < Marcelo

was my view

A good offer mate, but I'd probably see the ratings like this:

Higuain > Torres
De Rossi > Masch
Chiellini < Terry

And Ramires would only make my bench

I'm just gonna buy a bench today, plenty of good players still out there to make up a bench

That's fine I just didn't want it to seem like I was trying to con you with a ridiculous deal

In all honesty I'd probably prefer my two

Gerrard + Simao + Luiz
for
Toulalan + Eto'o + Mertesacker

---

No thanks mate, I think it's essential to have a good striker and I don't think Hunt would get the ratings. I'd need Drogba or Torres. Interested in Simao though.

In fact.. VERY keen on Ozil.

Mert + Totti
=
Ozil + Luiz?

Would you not be interested in Toulalon?

Never been a fan of 4-1-1-2-2 it seems to attacking. You could switch to 4-2-3-1 whilst improving your defence.

Simao + Luiz
for
Bojan + Mert

--

Go on then, deal

Eto'o + Totti + Gago
=
Ramires + Drogba + Ozil?

Ozil + Bosingwa + Ramires

for

Fabiano + Richards + M'Vila + Heinze

I know - you took all the best LW's



What for Ozil?

No worries fella



What do you reckon Moutinho in the LW/LM position?

Will I get caned?

Fabiano for Ozil?

You get a top striker whilst I fill my LW headache?

Fabiano + Moutinho + Richards + M'Vila
for
Ozil + Bosingwa + Ramires

Surely that is more in your favour now?

Like a blood from a stone Mr Luke

No worries mate - Had to try all possible angles

Final offer..

Moutinho Fabiano for Ozil

Arsenal are in need of charity nowadays
