What/who would you want for Young?

Mascherano + Pedro + Sanchez + Abidal + Puyol + Maxwell

for

Fletcher + Nani + Hernandez/Berbatov + Evra + Vidic + Smalling

Mascherano > Fletcher
Pedro => Nani
Sanchez > Hernandez
Abidal < Evra
Puyol < Vidic
Maxwell = Smalling

Ferdinand + Smalling + Rafael + Hernandez + Evra + Carrick
for
Luiz + Alex + Ivanovic + Ozil + Abidal + Merieles

Marcelo + Rafinha + Albiol + Khedira + Muller
=
Evra + Rafael + Ferdinand + Carrick + Nani

What would you say to a straight swap - Higuain for Rooney?

I know you aren't Rooney's biggest fan and alternatively I know you are a big fan of Higuain. I'd see their ratings as equal so its all about personal preference, so up to you mate

Thoughts on my offer bud?

No worries

Evra > Marcelo
Rafael = Rafinha
Rio > Albiol
Carrick < Khed
Nani > Muller

Okay, for a start take Rafael and Rafinha out if you rate them equally, personally I think Rafinha is better and holds a higher rating on here.

Are there any gains that I could add that would get a deal?

Ibra + Clichy
for
Rooney + Evra

Muller < Nani
Schwein >> Carrick

No deal

Berba + Rafael
=
Arbeloa + Borrielo

enq.

Hernandez and/or Berbatov. Either available for cash?

Can offer Lisandro and cash at best...

Way too steep. Was hoping for half that at best...

No matter

Not interested in Carrick..

I can give you £14 mil cash for Berba

Smalling + Carrick + Cleverly + JS Park + Berbatov
=
Lampard + Pirlo + 10m

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

no ty id end up releasing 3 out of the 5

Olic + Alaba
=
Welbeck + Cleverley

Willing to bite the bullet and take a risk on ratings.

Yeah, not quite sure why I did that now when I think about it...

Might wait till foreigners then to take a striker.

Olic does have some rating on here, would be fine for your bench

And I suggest you brush up if you've not heard of Alaba, getting games for Bayern and has broken into his international side.

Make an offer and lets see what we can do?

Rafael + Ferdinand + Berbatov
=
Sagna + Vermaelen + Gervinho
----------------------------

Add Young/Arshavin and could deal

Ferdinand + Valencia
=
Kompany + Robinho
--------------------

I'd consider this if it were Nani rather than Valencia. Kompany is fairly close to Rio these days (in fact irl I'd prefer Kompany to Rio now for sure), so can't lose Robinho for Valencia in that.

Rafael + Ferdinand + Berbatov + A.Young + Carrick
=
Sagna + Vermaelen + Gervinho + Arshavin + Wilshere
------------------------

Leave Wilshere out of this because I really can't stand Carrick.

I prefer Frimpong than Carrick

Rafael + Ferdinand + Berbatov + A.Young + Samlling

for
Sagna + Vermaelen + Gervinho + Arshavin + Ramsey + Gibbs

Not overly keen on that, but what about:

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

----------------De Gea------------------
----------------------------------------
Ivanovic------Luiz-----Vidic-------Abidal
----------------------------------------
-----------Fletcher----Ramires----------
----------------------------------------
L.Nani-----------Rooney--------A.Young
----------------------------------------
-----------------Drogba ----------------

"Not a bad offer mate, but i think that makes me weaker"

Really?!? That side ^^ is deifintely stronger....

Keeping Vidic and Rooney, adding Drogba, better RB and DM....

What do you want for Rooney?

I'll try not to use Bundesliga players as you don't watch it

If I added Cech for De Gea?

Too much

Rooney > Benzema
Carrick << Alonso/Schwein

Rooney + Carrick
=
Benzema + Khedira

Is an option

No, Di Miria to Valencia is too much of a step down.

Think my first offer is fair enough tbh

Rafael Ferdinand Berbatov A.Young Samlling
for
Sagna Vermaelen Gervinho Arshavin Ramsey Song

Benzema's hardly a bad striker, if I wasn't giving you a lot there I would understand a bit more. Would add Neuer for De Gea?

Kaka + Alex + Richards
for
Fletcher + Vidic + Rafael

Enquiry only

need my cash, have two big signings i want to make in foreigns.

will throw in olic for free? can release him for a decent amount

Rafael Ferdinand Berbatov A.Young Samlling
for
Sagna Vermaelen Gervinho Arshavin Ramsey Song
---------------------------
what would you like to be added apart from Wilshere?

then i'm afraid i don't think we can reach a deal

Cant do that mate RVP is on top form nowadays

I thought Ramsey and Song would be better than Smalling when combined, no?

Alright, I'll do a compromise, add 5m instead of 10m to the deal?

No worries mate

How much for Berba ?

Neuer & Butt are good enough for me, prefer both to Lindegaard.
I often see him in releases for cheap so he's a decent player to get. I don't need him this time though.

If 10m is important to you, I'd do Benzema + 10m = Rooney?

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

Enq.

I couldn't afford to lose both RB's, as I don't think there is a top one available in foreigns.

I'm open to offers. Defence is my main area for concern.

Ferdinand + Valencia + Carrick
=
Kompany + Kaka + Meireles
---------------------

Kaka >> Valencia
Meireles > Carrick
Kompany barely < Rio these days

Sorry bud, no deal there.

I don't really know, not many of your midfielders are rated very highly on here. Make me an offer, I suppose.

No thanks mate, I prefer Lass and Arbeloa and Berba won't start.

Ferdinand + Hernandez + JS Park
=
T.Silva + Tevez

Tevez for Hernandez is never happening

Offer me a deal for Sagna then fella
