Robinho Maxi
for
Navas Gervinho
---------------------------
I rate Navas slightly higher than Robinho and the jury is still out on Gervinho even tthough he has started well for Arsenal

Don't want to lose Navas unless I get a top winger in return.

No worries

Not willing to sell Nasri that easily, it's a small gain and a big loss.

Rate Nani a bit higher mate.

Could maybe do:

Nani + Rafael
=
Robinho + Ivanovic

Nani has been awesome for United especially last season. Robinho seems to have faded away..

Robinho + Ibrahimovic + De Jong + Keita
for
A.Young + Rooney + Cambiasso

Sorry mate not overly sure how Robinho would be rated here and prefer Rooney to Ibra

Think Veloso is rated higher on here mate

Nani + Veloso + De Gea
=
Robinho + Meireles + Cech

To change things up, i would deal?

Im looking to use Hernandez to improve my first team mate. I can add RVN for Cavani?

Im off for a bit mate, let me know if you wanna deal and ill update my page later

Nani + Veloso + De Gea
=
Robinho + Meireles + Cech


Deal

Anything for VdV/Sniejder/Diego?

Thing is, I might be losing Marcelo to strengthen elsewhere, in which case I'd need Capdevilla. That's why I'm dithering so much.

Sorry

Marchena + Keita + Balotelli
for
Pepe

A very good offer but I've assembled a strong enough bench now so I'd be only looking at the CB's really, and I'd see Pepe as > Marchena so no deal

Not sure, think i'd be worse off overall...
