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

Liestiener= P.Jones.

jones is only warming the bench and u need to upgrade at RB

Ivanovic and Silva
for
Sagna and £20m?

lol I'm not releasing him yet. Besides, I'd get about £15.5m for releasing him and every little helps.

I'll let you know if I ever do but I think his form might be picking up again.

Sorry, Ribery's definitely NFS.

You interested in Tevez and/or Suarez ?

Suarez and Evra in the same team. That would work well surely.

Not sure what I have in mind.

Thought you still had Torres but see you haven't. Would have to be a deal for Rooney or Aguero then and not sure you'd be interested in that.

Anything for Luiz not involving Lucio?

Hmm. I'm out of ideas unless Samuel and Cesar interest you for Luiz and Cech.

I still reckon that is an improvement at GK. Cech has not been as good as previously in the past couple of seasons.

Thomas Muller = Podolski + Phil Jones?

I'm not going to do a deal for Ribery because he's in such good form at the moment.

Podolski s only valued at about £17m and Phil Jones £16m. Yes, Podolski's doing well this season but he's not quite Muller.

The deal still stands, if you want me to add £2m then fine.

Yeah I know but I definitely am not losing Franck. I'm after Phil Jones because I have a gaping hole in my defence if injuries go against me. I like Young but I'm not really after a winger.

If you have a change of heart, the deal Muller + £2m = Jones + Podolski should still stand but I know cherries was interested in him so he might not be around for too much longer.

Khedira for either Moutinho or Sahin?

Song & either Sahin or Moutinho for
Wilshire & Khedira?

Here's Howedes v Man Utd:

okay then
Ozil for Rooney.

Aguero?

Lampard + Kaka for Khedira + Rooney?

Nasri + Zanetti + Cahill
for
Carrick + Bosingwa + Kaboul
------------------------

Good enquiry. Not sure how much Bosingwa remains rated these days although he is probably rated higher than Zanetti. Not sure about Walker though. Some managers on here seem to like the younger players. The previous Inter manager swapped Maicon for Walker + Kaboul. I think that is a stinker of a deal myself but perhaps I am misjuding the other managers.

My thoughts on the above are we could perhaps add Cesar for Cech and either Lucio for Terry or Luiz for Kaboul. You improve at keeper marginally whatever and either get the likely England CB pairing of Cahill/Terry or a Brazilian combo of Lucio/Luiz.

Any thoughts on that?

Not a fan of Carrick mate. What about;

Khedira + Evra
=
Yaya + Adriano

But then the gap between Sanchez and young is even greater.

Afraid not mate

Ozil & 4m?

Sorry but Robben is not for sale at any price.

I would just rather have him than not at the moment.

podolski = 7 mil+krasic+gervinho

Cambiasso + Nasri for
Wilshere + Gourcuff + Ashley Young
----------------------------

Prefer Camb and Nasri tbh. Young a good add on but not enough to tempt me. Sorry.

Franck is going nowhere, sorry.

Nothing lol. I'm not wanting to lose my best players.

kamran wrote:Gourcuff + Podolski for Ozil

Like Podolski but Gourcuff has been neither use nor ornament of late.

I don't need some like Kheidra now I have Rossi, otherwise would've been keen.

What would to like for Khedira?

I like Gourcuff but neither he nor Podolski are wingers and therefore will not replace Franck.

Suarez for Gourcuff?
-----------------

Gourcuff has had a poor season so can't swap directly for Suarez. I would need an improvement elsewhere as well really.

NO DEAL,
chielini< luiz and pirlo and marchisio have prefernce over carrick

how about

silva = Wallcott+15million
Wallcott can play on your right

Cambiasso + Pepe + Rafael
for
Luiz + Khedeira/Carrick + Gourcuff + Bosingwa
---------------------------

Weakens me too much really. I like Khedira and Luiz but Bosingwa has been dire mostly this season, likewise Gourcuff. I might consider it if it were Lass rather than Cambiasso.

Carrick has been playing well but not sure how well he is rated on here. Lass has played 22 time for Real this season so still gets match time.

Think I'll leave it for now.

No thanks mate.

Ivanovic yes but not Cahill. He is not rated enough on here.

Good offer but still weakening me overall imo, so still no.

Not sure mate. CAM is where I need to improve but you are not likely to consider selling Aguero so I'm not sure where we go.

If I got Kaka would you do something like

Cambiasso + Kaka
for
Ivanovic + Khedira + Aguero

which is similar to your offer earlier

Khedira + Podolski
=
Di Maria + De Jong

enq.

Khedira + Podolski + Silva
for
Moutinho + Benzema + Hamsik

ENQ

for

---------------------
I prefer mine except for the Benzema>Podolski

The gap between Hamsik and Silva is quite big too

I prefer to have a rock like Khedeira with the likes of a natural CM so it creates a decent balance

I'd say it was...

Benzema >> Podolski
Hamsik << Silva
Moutinho = Kheidera (Moutinho is actually worth more)

Value wise there's 3m between them. Is there anything you'd prefer?

Schweinstiger + Lahm + Szczeny
for
Khedeira + Evra + Cech + Carrick/Gourcuff

Still very interested in Khedeira but not at the expense of Schwein or Lahm sorry.

kamran wrote:How about if I not offer Lahm in that deal

So something like...

Schwein + Sczcney + Boateng
for
Khedeira + Carrick/Gouruff + Cech + Bosingwa

Sorry it's just not grabbing me at all, although I rate Khedeira I'm more than happy with Vidal/Schwein/Gotze in the centre and the other players on offer I'm not interested in.

Tevez + Nasri + Malouda
for
Young + Gourcuff + Aguero

Enq.

Will take Khedira + quite a bit..

what about

Evra + Gourcuff + Khedira
=
Clichy + Yaya + Milner

enq.
