Hmmm. Would you be interested in swapping Ozil back for Muller? I need his pace back and you need CJ for your midfield.

Do you have Ozil?

Confirmed

No thank you

No thanks.
I have my defence at full strength next week which I will need given that 2 people have Bayern scoring 2 past me in their predictions even though Bayern only have 2 subs and one of them is a keeper!

Im keeping him.
Not looking to change any of my starting 11

Not really.
Im going to sort some releases and buy a striker in TP's

Sagna, Koscienly and Ox
For
Richards and Kompany?

==

Not a bad offer, but not really keen mate. I don't really need the Ox, very strong at wing already.

Richards + Nasri + Kompany + Navas
=
Badstuder + Sagna + Ozil + Ox

I'm happy with most of that apart from Ozil/Nasri as I don't want to lose him nor do I want Nasri unfortunately. Anything else you'd do instead of that pairing?

That's the main incentive for me really.

Richards - I'm happy with
Kompany - I'm more than happy with
Navas - I'm happy with

so needed Ozil to warrant losing those three.

No thanks mate.. it's got to be Ozil or nothing tbh,

How about Sahin, Badstuber, Ox and Sagna for just
Richards and Kompany?

Ozil + Sagna for
Ivanovic + Podolski + Merieles + Cahill

Would rather not add cash mate. I see it as

Richards = Sagna (How do you rate them?)
Kompany > Badstuder
Navas > Ox
Nasri < Ozil

So already see you as getting a top deal. Really not sure.

Nah none of them would replace "The Chief". I don't need to do any deals this month as I've been lucky with injuries.

Sorry mate, I think I'm going to leave it. Lose too much to gain Ozil.

sagna+X
=
kuyt+johnson

enq only atm

kuyt can play on Rm and johnson Rb replacement

dont want to go of mvilla sorry

anything i can do for sagna? not incl mvilla or gerrard, lavezzi

Much rather de Gea. Glad he's coming into some kind of form for us now, he's a top quality keeper. Or he at least will be.

Doesn't appeal to me. Sorry.

Is there anything we can resurect on Kompany?

==

Not really mate, I have Sneijder now so happy with my front 5.

Still wouldn't be keen - I'd have to start Kolscielny and I have Barry who is adequate backup. My first team would be significantly weakened, and as we saw by Bayerns shock win the bench isn't as important.

Muller for the Big Bad Man and someone else. It's up to you but don't throw Oxo Cube at me.

johnson+x=sagna

johnson can cover for sagna for you as he's a lot better than jenkinson mate

enq

Sagna + Ozil for Arbeloa + Kaka

sagna+ozil

Moutinho for M'Vila?
---------
no sorry

No thanks, Gomez > Eczema and Kroos and Moutinho are pretty much equal. Besides, I'm looking to strengthen up at the back.

Not for me thanks. I'm well covered in CM and Ramos > Sagna for me.

Maicon, Hummels and Busquets
For
Sagna, Koscienly, Song & Moutinho

No thanks, I prefer my players

Sahin wouldnt make my starting 11 and I would prefer to keep Hummels over anyone else.

I'm still not wanting to lose Super Mario. And if people are rating Benzema above Gomez then I'm resigning!

What for Ozil and Sagna?

Ivanovic and Silva?
-------------------------
not a bad offer but was thinking you needed to strengthen your midfield
How about Podolski + Carrick + Ivanovic

Kaboul & Cambiasso
for
Koscienly & Song?
-----------

Hi mate. I rate both mine higher tbh. If Sagna could be involved maybe or even Benzema for Suarez as part of a deal?

Not interested in Frimpong. I like Badstuber but not keen on losing Cambiasso to get him even with Song as a replacement. Sorry.

He's done really well for Madrid this season but not sure how rated he is by some of the other managers who seem to prefer more established players rather than promising young talent. I suspect I get marked down for Hazard but he's such a diva I want to keep him.

Bottom line after all the above bluster is still no.

That is more of interest.

Cambiasso + Kaboul + Walker
for
Song + Badstuber + Sagna

??

Koscielny is the part I don't like. I simply don't rate the guy.

I'm in negotiations with Man City over Cambiasso as well, so I'll ponder and let you know.

no deal, loaded on wingers and Chiellini>kos

Ivanovic, Silva and Khedira
for
Sagna, Ozil and Song?
---------------------------------
Ivanovic<Sagna
Silva>Ozil
Khedeira>Song

Not selling Khedeira unless its someone his level.

Sorry mate

I like your team offensively, but defensively you may need to improve

Howedes and Badstuber

H isn't really setting the world alight not even an international
Badstuber is average at best IMO Slow and cant read the game. Lahm helps him alot

Vidal - 1 good season with Leverkuson and thats it really

Don't get me wrong, I'm not here to criticise your players (which it looks like I'm doing) I'm just stating that they could be improved for 'better' players

Big Bad Benedikt is one of the best CB's in Europe. In the German team, I'd say he's 2nd only to Hummels and even that's pushing it. He's better than Boateng, Badstuber, Mertesacker and that other guy who's name escapes me.

I would very much disagree on all 3, Badstuber and Howedes are both regular internationals and it's only that Hummels is also about that they don't get as many games. Both are regarded as some of the best centrebacks in Europe and it shows the quality of the German team at present that there's 5 or 6 that would walk into the England team.
Vidal is regarded as one of the best box to box midfielders about and has already shown for Juve how class he is as they challenge for the title.

I don't have Walker mate... but construct a similar deal and I may be interested.

Ajax offer £7 mil for Jose Marie Callejon.

Please accept/reject on the transfer confirmation page before Thursday 1 March 5pm.

Can you do me a foreign offer?

Put whole squad into random.org/lists

The first squad player that comes up that is worth a decent amount (for example, I skipped players worth < £5 mil) put into transfermarkt. Randomly go +/-£1 mil either side of market value

Also, you don't have £17 mil, do you?

Can't sell Kompany for cash mate.

Sagna, Neymar
=
Richards, Forlan

enq.

ok then. Balotelli?

Not for me thanks.
