what for van persie and gervinho?

Well, Benzema's the obvious option in a deal for Van Persie, not sure who you'd want as a replacement for Gervinho.

Also, just an idea, you could play 4-3-1-2 to get Moutinho off the wing

Bojan
=
Moutinho?

I think you need a proper winger. Also, what for Mert?

I think I would, begrudingly, do:

Arshavin + Mert
=
Burdisso + Navas

Arshavin + Mert
=
Heinze + Navas

OK I could do that. I say begrudingly because I thought I had Gallas - now I've got to rethink and lose Navas, a player a rate highly. Oh well, I will deal on that.

I'm still interested in Moutinho - can we sort something out there as well?

Moutinho & Frey
for
Bastos & Lloris

More natural LW & a better GK.

Navas + RVP + Wilshere
=
Muller + Benzema + Khedira

------------M'Vila--Khedira--Moutinho
-----------------------Kaka
--------------Muller---------Benzema

I'll add Marcelo and Rafinha for Santos and Richards if I can get another gain in the deal somewhere?

Not your best...

Sorry

Not sure I see a deal for Ozil just now.

I think you should do your best to improve that position.

No ta bud, massive gulf.

Maxi R + Robinho
for
Navas + Moutinho

Get 2 LW's there.

Enq and negotiable.

Evra + A Young + Hernandez

for

Fabiano + Moutinho + Zhirkov + Gibbs

---------

Rate my players higher mate

Don't see how it is really....

I'm not giving for the sake of charity

It's a no buddy.

Maxi R + Robinho
for
Navas + Moutinho

Get 2 players who can play both sides there. Solve your LW problem.

Enq and negotiable.

Would prefer to change Moutinho to Gervinho. Remains enquiry.

I meant

Robinho + Maxi
for
Navas + Gervinho

I want to keep Pedro.

Good offer, but I'm comfortable playing a lone striker, and I wouldn't want to lose Yaya and Nasri that easily

Vargas + Bastos + Lloris

for

Moutinho + Zhirkov + Frey

==

The way I see this is you gain 3 times in my opinion. Vargas > Moutinho for sure at LW.

However, if Fabiano and L. Lopez was added, I'd accept. I'm itching to get a striker asap.

Is that a 'no' to the above then?

Am interested in a deal but really want Fabiano incorporated.

How about....

Wilshere, Moutinho & Fabiano
for
Gourcuff, Vargas & L. Lopez

2 improvements to 1st team for a bench weakness....

Anything for Kaka/Moutinho?

Robben
for
Moutinho + Fabiano

A good offer but I don't really want to replace Robben with Moutinho and Fabiano would only make my bench

Di Maria + Adriano for
Fabiano + Moutinho + Zhirkov

Fabiano I don't rate at all, Moutinho's not been any good for years and I wouldn't start Zhirkov, Di Miria and Adriano are starters for me and I think I'd be foolish to deal

How about something simply as....

Frey, Moutinho & Fabiano
for
Lloris, Vargas/Bastos & Klose/Huntelaar

If you accept the above, then can you let Luke know to update my squad with that offer as I wont be able to do it tomorrow. Moutinho to replace Tymo, Cissokho to drift in at LB and push Vargas forward or to replace Vargas and straight swap up front. That is if you accept it though....

I don't think Bastos and Gervinho improve my bench enough to accept, sorry.

Ozil + Smalling + Valencia
for
Navas + Bastos + Cahill + Gervinho

=======

Not losing Ozil mate.

Forlan + Smalling
=
RVP + Richards?

Think my team would be too attacking..

Carvalho + Santon
for
Vermaelen + Santos
