Players in

Spoiler:

Players out

Spoiler:

If you still need a back up CB, I am willing to sell you mine.

But I need a CM and a RW. Are you up for a huge deal?

Right ok, no worries

Any thoughts on the Lichsteiner deal from yesterday?

YI, did you want Louis Saha or Tommaso Rocchi in your side as you are short on centre forwards? You can have either for a knockdown price of £4M (which I need to complete a deal)

Y I

Sodhat has made me an offer for Ramirez that I am seriously thinking about taking. Up to you whether you want to do a counter bid

No deal because I will be losing a player in one position to fill another.

Sodhat is offering me more players.

Are you now willing to let Krasic go??

Krasic + Miralem Pjanić + Javi García = Huddlestone + Kleber + Ramirez

ENQ

Evening,

So basically I have no chance in getting him then? That is ok, totally understand.

Hulk thinks like his namesake that porto is like the avengers, a collection of the best in the world. Yours is more the cast off hero comics so he's not intersted

Marco Motta + Kleber = Miralem Pjanić + Silvio

ENQ

Would you do

Kleber = Yoann Gourcuff

In all honesty though I wouldn't trade Hulk for anyone in your squad as a one for one and I wouldn't consider doing 2 players for 1 etc.

Ok well I trust you mate, and I am open for both deals. Pjanic is good for me as I can do a 3 man attacking midfield of Ramirez Pjanic and Nolito that can interchange. If you want to keep ol'frenchy then fair enough. But can you chuck in another player? Squad is a bit threadbare lol

So Kleber = Pjanic + ???

Give us the best ??? you would happily do.

You think Gourcuff is a better player for me in all seriousness?

No sorry, if Krasic gets a move in RL in Jan then poss at some time but what is going on Juve for him concerns me.

Kleber = Pjanic + Antoine Griezmann?

Gives me some cover on the left as well then.

All this after 5 a side tournament? Beginning of new season.

We will get there in the end lol.

I really wanted two players for Kleber. He is well thought of on here (believe me I asked around). That is why I am playing him ahead of Carroll.

Kleber = Pjanic + Antoine Griezmann

That is what I would deal at. If your not happy then deal is off....again lol

Ganso not for sale also Krasic spends more time on the bench then the pitch at juventus currently.

Thats cos their manager is an idiot lol

Louis Saha and Javier Saviola (both CF's of which you are lacking)

for

Miralem Pjanic?

Of course you did, i'm aware he's at Benfica in real life yet I didn't twig

How about Saha and Rocchi for Pjanic?

You want young strikers ready to make a name for themselves?

Step forward the soon to be huge in the Jan transfer window...

Andy Polo!

Him and 15m for the bench warmer Krasic...

I don't have heated seats at Porto that's why.

17m and Polo? Check out in the press the amount of coverage on him!

You've not heard of him, but a host of English clubs and real Madrid have, I'll trust their scouting judgement over your vast network.

Iturbe instead then? Already playing in Portugal and thought of by Argentinians as the next Messi

Krasic + Nilmar for Ganso + 15m

ENQ

Krasic & Nilmar
For Hulk & 15m

Enq

Kleber = Pjanic

Confirmed for start of season, after 5 a sides

I dont really want any deal on the above. I only did it to annoy Nando back.

Ganso + Damiao + 25m
for
Krasic + Gourcuff + Nilmar

ENQ

Spoiler:

no deal i only want £25m cash for him no player exchange.

i dont want player exchange!

YI i dont need to sell him therefore its £25m cash only!

it would take an extremely good player for me to consider
LIKE I SAID I DONT NEED OR WANT TO SELL HIM.

the two i wanna sell are

Reto Ziegler-£7m
Michele Pazienza-£8m

however you can make an offer for anyone in my squad but it dosent mean i will accept it.

£22m for Nilmar? ENQ

i didnt look how much u bought him for.

I was just seeing how much u valued him.

fair enough i completely understand

And you've posted that why???

Fair enough

Merry Christmas old chap

Bruno Miguel Semedo Varela 1m
Enq

He doesn't even have a price on transfermarkt

1.25m

ill take him for a 1m need a 3rd keeper who young enough to play cup games

No deal, waiting on Mateo Kovacic's value rocketing as I hope it might in January before selling (if I sell).

If you want him now I'd want £10M in case I missed out. It's a risk you may or may not want to take.

Javi Garcia
Milos Krasic
= 42m


ENQ

oki doki

Krasic & Garcia = Hazard & Chantôme

i couldn't do that cos can't guarantee Krasic won't be a bench boy for the rest of the season

oki doki but would have to be extremely tempting cos really don't want to lose Hazard

No deal

Hernanes = Gourcouff + greizman

Or

Hernanes = Krasic + 6 Mil

Already had offers of 25 Mil, so these are 2 deals would be interested in

Sorry had to go to shop shop

is there no way can get Krasic, need RW, if not the other will depend on if i get RW
