I may come back to you later depending on what others may offer.
Good offers

by jimbohammers Tue Sep 27, 2011 2:25 pm

Dont think Evra is better than Lahm mate. And i rate Pedro pretty similar to Nani

by LukeLovesLuka Tue Sep 27, 2011 2:35 pm

Wouldn't do that, but....

Lucio
for
Pepe + Podolski?

Means your defence is almost as good as what you started with?

by jimbohammers Tue Sep 27, 2011 2:37 pm

Lahm + Pedro
=
Evra + Nani

Willing to take a punt

by jimbohammers Tue Sep 27, 2011 2:46 pm

Lahm + Pedro + Coentrao
=
Evra + Nani + A.Young + Giggs?

Headscratch

by jimbohammers Tue Sep 27, 2011 3:15 pm

Deal mate

by LukeLovesLuka Tue Sep 27, 2011 3:26 pm

Could do, yeh.

Have a offer logged with Barce so couldn't confirm as of yet.

by kamran Tue Sep 27, 2011 4:13 pm

What for Lahm and Pepe?

by kamran Tue Sep 27, 2011 4:24 pm

Lahm + Pepe + Lass + Hernandez + Podolski
for
Abidal + Carvalho + Ozil + Masch + Affelay

by kamran Tue Sep 27, 2011 5:00 pm

If I made it Rio instead of Pepe
---------------------
I prefer Pepe to Rio but not much in them to be honest.
I want Podolski mate because your getting a great deal with the Podolski/Affelay

Up to you mate

by kamran Tue Sep 27, 2011 5:14 pm

Lahm + Pepe + Lass + Hernandez + Podolski
for
Abidal + Carvalho + Ozil + Masch + Affelay

deal

Good man - I think you got a very good deal there.
You offer some good deals Guv

by pullthestrings Tue Sep 27, 2011 5:16 pm

Capdevila and VDW are yours. I outbid you on Melo though. Soz

No worries mate, cheers thumbsup

Fletcher, Ferdinand, Navas
=
VdV, Gallas, Lennon

by Trebs Tue Sep 27, 2011 6:02 pm

Doesn't interest me, sorry.

Calvalho/Ferdinand is what I want Whistle

by Fisherunited Tue Sep 27, 2011 6:17 pm

Good offer but prefer my players i think.

by Fisherunited Tue Sep 27, 2011 6:29 pm

I personally prefer Berbatov but dont think hes rated as highly, especially not this season. And i dont like him up there on his own really. Fletcher > Ramires, but not by much, Ramres is one of the few Chelsea players i like, massively under rated IMO, and Rafael < Ivanovic.

by Tom Tue Sep 27, 2011 6:53 pm

Sneidjer/Ozil + Navas + Fletcher (+ Coentrao)
=
Eto'o + Milner + Anderson (+ Bastos)

Eto'o Ozil/Sneidjer Pedro
Rooney

is better IMO, because Sneidjer and especially Ozil operate better in a free AM role rather than a CM role. Sort yourself a DM and you're onto a winner.

by pullthestrings Tue Sep 27, 2011 7:17 pm

Fletcher, Ferdinand, Navas
=
VdV, Gallas, Lennon

Was a bit ambitious, sorry bud.

Ozil = Vdv?

by SuperPav9 Tue Sep 27, 2011 7:44 pm

Carvalho, Mascherano, Pedro & Coentrao
for
Lucio, Khedira, Cazorla & Cissokho

by Fisherunited Tue Sep 27, 2011 8:44 pm

Fletcher + Rafael + Abidal + Berbatov + Ozil + Evans

for

Ramires + Ivanovic + Marcelo + Gomez + Muller + Boateng

by LukeLovesLuka Wed Sep 28, 2011 11:18 am

Not really interested in that - was entertaining the idea of Forlan and Tevez off Drogba.

by pullthestrings Wed Sep 28, 2011 11:53 am

Tempting although I got slated last time for having Sneijder and VdV as CMs rather than AMs. Will ponder this one, reckon we can sort something out.

===

Suprised you got slated for having VDV and Sneijder. Compliment each other brilliantly.

by SuperPav9 Wed Sep 28, 2011 12:47 pm

Had Cazorla > Pedro in my head when I made the offer although thinking about it, thats not really the case.

Coentrao is the one I want.

How about just...

Carvalho & Coentrao
for
Lucio & Cissokho

by pullthestrings Wed Sep 28, 2011 1:48 pm

Any Modric/Sneijder deal at all possible? Failing that, would you be keen on MvB and VdV?

by SuperPav9 Wed Sep 28, 2011 1:55 pm

Yeah, deal mate.

by pullthestrings Wed Sep 28, 2011 1:58 pm

Ozil + Navas + Lloris
for
VdV + Bale + Akinfeev

I don't know about Navas playing on the left. Can you make it Pedro?

by pullthestrings Wed Sep 28, 2011 2:14 pm

Personally I rate Navas = Pedro, it's just Pedro plays for Barcelona so may be rated higher on here! I couldn't include Cap for Cissokho. What about

Parker/Fletcher
Adebayor/Berbatov
Lennon/Affellay?

by LukeLovesLuka Wed Sep 28, 2011 2:19 pm

People are describing Silva as the best CB in Europe right now.Rio looked a bit dodge last night by all accounts.

Would you consider...

Chivu + Silva + Maicon + Lucho
for
Lucio + Rio + Rafael + Fletcher

by pullthestrings Wed Sep 28, 2011 2:27 pm

Ozil + Pedro + Lloris + Berbatov
for
VdV + Bale + Akinfeev + Llorente

--

I don't know - Adebayor is on fire and Berba's ratings are dropping. To be honest, if I had Berba I would opt for Llorente and go with the Spanish fron three. Risky though.

If there is a different option then let me know.

by LukeLovesLuka Wed Sep 28, 2011 2:29 pm

Problem is I see it like this:

Rio => Silva
Maicon >> Rafael
Lucho <= Fletcher

Hence why I added the Lucio/Chivu part....which I don't see as a massivbe jump - Chivu always rated, and gives you a defence of:

------------------------ Lloris -------------------------
Maicon ----------Silva ---------- Chivu --------- Abidal
---------------------- Mascherano --------------------

Which looks pretty decent to me.

What else could you add if not that?

by LukeLovesLuka Wed Sep 28, 2011 2:37 pm

"I could add Huntelaar for Zarate maybe"

The deal in principle works for me, and this is a good addition, so i could do this

by Trebs Wed Sep 28, 2011 2:39 pm

Torres + Lampard + Aguero
=
Rooney + Fletcher + Sneijder

ENQ

by LukeLovesLuka Wed Sep 28, 2011 2:45 pm

by Trebs Wed Sep 28, 2011 2:46 pm

Make it Lucho, not Fletcher in the previous deal, if anything it's slightly more in your favour then

by pullthestrings Wed Sep 28, 2011 2:55 pm

Ozil + Pedro + Lloris + Evans
for
VdV + Bale + Akinfeev + Dawson

enq.

by Tom Wed Sep 28, 2011 4:01 pm

Sneidjer/Ozil + Pedro (+ Coentrao)
=
Eto'o + Hamsik (+ Bastos)

by Fisherunited Wed Sep 28, 2011 5:15 pm

not a bad offer but only see 1 gain for me there, that being only just. Its Ozil im interested in really.

by jimbohammers Wed Sep 28, 2011 6:14 pm

Yaya + Pato + Fabregas
=
Masch + Rooney + Sneijder

Headscratch

by pullthestrings Wed Sep 28, 2011 6:17 pm

Pedro + Muller
for
Bale + VdV

--

Probably not mate.

Ozil + Pedro + Lloris + Evans
for
VdV + Bale + Akinfeev + Dawson

Something along those lines?

by Fisherunited Wed Sep 28, 2011 6:22 pm

Berbatov for Gomez. Although IRL i wouldnt be so sure.

by Trebs Wed Sep 28, 2011 7:14 pm

Sneijder is the main player I'm after in the deal though.

-------Lampard----Mascherano
--Ozil-----------------------------Pedro
----------------Aguero
------------Torres

Can I get Sneijder another way?

by Tom Wed Sep 28, 2011 11:41 pm

Hart, VDV, Bale
=
Lloris, Ozil, Pedro

Gives you the Sneidjer/VDV combo

by pullthestrings Wed Sep 28, 2011 11:56 pm

Hart, VDV, Bale
=
Lloris, Ozil, Pedro

by SuperPav9 Thu Sep 29, 2011 12:12 pm

I'm still interested in Mascherano.

Any scope for....

Khedira, Mata, Granero & Frey
for
Mascherano, Pedro, Carrick & Lindergaard

by Tom Fri Sep 30, 2011 12:30 am

Hmm, good offer

Would Sneidjer be at all possible?

by kamran Fri Sep 30, 2011 11:20 am

I really like this team mate - you have done a top job IMO.
Defensive subs may need stregthening but overall a fab first team

by Trebs Fri Sep 30, 2011 1:26 pm

Any interest in
Podolski + Hulk
=
Carrick + Berbatov

Pending another deal?

by Trebs Fri Sep 30, 2011 1:56 pm

I'm losing Lampard to get Xavi

by Trebs Fri Sep 30, 2011 2:06 pm

I was hoping to improve my striker position as Podolski holds more of a rating on here than Carrick. Thought it balanced the deal.

Also allows you to get rid of two original players from your bench, but no worries.

by SuperPav9 Fri Sep 30, 2011 3:23 pm

Khedira, Mata, Granero & Frey
for
Mascherano, Pedro, Carrick & Lindergaard

by jimbohammers Mon Oct 03, 2011 4:53 pm

Ramos + Yaya + Higuain
=
Maicon + Masch + Rooney
