XI:

No i wouldnt

Gago + Totti/Bojan
=
Gourcuff?

Fabio + Smalling + Jones + Valencia + Anderson
=
Gourcuff + £30m
-----------------------------

Good offer. My concern is it leaves me very short of cover in defence. I'll have a ponder.

Don't really fancy those additions tbh.

What about

Fabio + Smalling + Jones + Anderson
=
Gourcuff + £20m

Lol. Thought £50m was a little high.

It's possible. I just need to sort out a few negotiations with Real and then I'll let you know. Would Young interest in place of Valencia ?

No deal, sorry for the delay

Smalling, Jones, Anderson, Park, Wellbeck
For
Gourcuff + £30m
----------------------------

OK bud. I'll do that if you're sure. Let me know.

For £20m can you throw in Kallstrom as well?

I've got to dash now. Let me know about the above. I'll deal on

Smalling, Jones, Anderson, Park, Wellbeck
For
Gourcuff + Kallstrom + £20m

Alright mate, I'm going to be missing foreigns this week, so can't really accept cash offers for my players, sorry.

That would help, I'll give you an answer by the end of today

Doesn't appeal to me to be honest.

How about....

De Jong, Dzeko, Kolarov & Hart
for
Anderson, Lopez, Cissokho & Lloris

Could probably do that.

De Jong, Johnson, Milner, Kolarov, Dzeko, and Hart
For
Gonalons, Bastos, Park, Cissokho, Lopez, Lloris and £20m

==

De Jong >> Gonalons
Johnson > Bastos
Milner = Park
Kolarov = Cissokho
Dzeko > Lopez
Hart < Lloris

Thats how I see it.

How about simply...

Johnson, Dzeko, Kolarov & Hart
for
Bastos, Lopez, Cissokho & Lloris

Interested in Bastos?

Maybe a straight swap for Mikel

Park + Lopez + Cissokho + Lloris
=
Milner + Dzeko + Kolarov + Hart

==

Yeah, go on then. Might as well do this. Deal.

No I wouldn't. Sorry.

Alright then mate, deal

I'll send you a foreign as a PM closer to the time?

No thank you pal

Not selling those players for cash. Have no interest in any of the players you offered me either

Sorry not interested in that dont rate Kolarov and am a big fan of Marcelo. Could possibly be interested in Smalling and Anderson.

Sorry mate couldnt take 3 losses for a gain up top

D.Milito + Giggs + A.Young
=
Eto'o

Enquiry

Decent offer but doesn't majorly interest me. Sorry.

Gago + Totti + Sanchez
=
Anderson + Eto'o

-------------------------------- Gago --------------------------- Mikel -----------------------------
-- Milner ---------------------------------------- Totti ---------------------------------- Sanchez --
------------------------------------------------- Dzeko --------------------------------------------

Gago and Totti both hold good ratings on here and your side looks much more balanced as a whole

Bastos, Mexes & Eto'o
for
Cissokho, Albiol & Benzema

It's fine, I appreciate the help mate

What do you want for Mexes?

Yeh, might have been a bit ambitious with that one.

can't have Milner and Anderson in my starting XI. sorry.

Nah I'm losing out far too much there mate, what if I added Bojan and Milner to my offer? Bojan > Milner on here certainly

Gago + Totti + Sanchez + Bojan
=
Anderson + Eto'o + Milner

Or if you don't want to lose Eto'o a possible alternative could be:

Gago + Totti + Kjaer
=
Anderson + Mexes

I don't want to lose Modric AND VdV. In my opinion, it's suicidal going 4-3-3 with Lyon. You'll get torn apart by big sides.

Pablo + Parker + Capdevila
=
Eto'o + Anderson + Bastos

You get a more defensive LB, a controlling DM and a proper winger

I actually prefer Capedivila, but if you prefer Bastos we can leave that out.

Eto'o + Hart + Anderson
=
VdV/Modric + Gomes + Parker

I can probs do

Can we not include VDW and Smalling/Jones?
Makes it 2 gains each

Afraid not mate. Can leave the Hart/Gomes bit out though

Eto'o + Anderson
=
Modric + Parker

Eto'o + Anderson
=
VdV + Parker

Fine

Hmm not really what i had in mind, weakens my defence too much for my liking. And i want Eto'o upfront really.



Eto'o + Anderson + Cavani + Mexes

for

Anelka + Ramires + Muller Alex/Marchena


i would maybe do something like that. You get Muller who is a big improvement and can play out wide, and you lack wingers. Im not sure who you rate higher out of Ramires or Anderson. Anelka is a good replacement for Eto'o,

Ok cool. Would need to know before foreigns tomorrow though

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

Decent enquiry but despite the obvious attraction of Eto'o, I am less keen to loss Navas for Milner and Fletcher for Anderson so going to say no. I am still working on my side and not intending to keep Sneijder and Ozil in that formation but put them there whilst I'm still doing deals.

pullthestrings wrote:Ok cool. Would need to know before foreigns tomorrow though

Where are we with this?

Not interested in Anderson pal. And i dont need Eto'o

Senna + Gago + Simao + Sanchez + Naldo
=
Mikel + Milner + Kolarov + Eto'o + Mexes

Certainly an enquiry at the moment, but I'd say this would improve your team quite a bit:

-------------------------- Hart --------------------------
--- Smalling ------- Jones ------- Naldo ------- Bastos ----
------------------- Gago ------- Senna ------------------
--- Sanchez ------------- Hamsik -------------- Simao ---
-------------------------- Dzeko -------------------------

Much more balance to the side and pretty much every player there holds rating on here, whereas players such as Milner, Anderson etc don't hold much rating

A.Young + Giggs + Falcao
=
Eto'o

Eto'o + Smalling + Jones + Hart
=
Gourcuff + Córdoba + Metzelder + J.Cesar

I could do:

VDV + Sandro
=
Eto'o + Anderson

But not keen on the other bits.

I'm really not interested in the likes of Smalling, Jones, De Silvestre.

Simply:

Lennon + Akinfeev
=
Hart + Eto'o

You get a proper winger and a better keeper

I don't want to lose VdV AND Modric, sorry.

Bale = Eto'o?

Who is KingBeer?

No thanks, I don't see Hamsik as an adequate replacement for VdV or Modric so struggling to see a deal including them.

Either Bale/VdV = Eto'o

So what are you thinking...

Hamsik + Eto'o + Mexes
=
VdV/Modric + Bale + Gallas?

I don't gain much but lose a lot, no deal.

Hamsik + Eto'o + Mexes
=
VdV + Bale + Gallas?

Yeah OK..

You said you'd prefer VdV! I rate Modric higher so would rather hold onto him.
