Foreign Transfers

by The Special Juan Thu 28 Jun 2012 - 18:51

First topic message reminder :

Bid for your foreign transfers here. To start the season, there will be two bids allowed per day, this will then decrease to one per day when the season starts. The Special Juan will then answer all of the bids received in the evening. They do not carry over, so you cannot bid nothing all week and then bid five times on the Friday.

The first bidder gets the first chance to sign the player, and if this offer is accepted then they will sign for the original club, regardless of the subsequent offers. But, if the original bidder has not bid enough or the transfer is unrealistic then subsequent bids will then be considered. Any following bids must be at least of equal value to the first bidder.

Please make sure all transfers are confirmed on the foreign transfer confirmation page.

Norwich City

Bid 1
Chris Burke
£2 million
Chris Burke was signed by Birmingham on a free transfer, so we feel they would take the £2 million on offer due to there financial troubles and the fact Burke is a replaceable name. Burke would like to come to Norwich, for the chance to play Premier League football. We have his former manager in our staff and a former teammate to help him bed in, and we feel he would give our wingers a different dimension.

Bid 2
Jack Butland
£6.5 million
Southampton recently had a bid of £6 million turned down for this young prodigy, but we are going to swoop in and test Birmingham's resolve. Jack would be perfect for us, as he could pose a real challenge to John Ruddy for our No1 keeper's shirt. He would like to come to Norwich due to the recent/imminent signing of the Birmingham GK coach Dave Watson, so he could progress with what he knows best, in a higher league.

Bid 1
Aly Cissokho - 10m

Bid 2
Andre Schurrle - 17m

Both prices agreed, willing to match them

by Bull Thu 5 Jul 2012 - 21:34

hero signed Hazard?

by David James Number One Fri 6 Jul 2012 - 10:51

Chelsea bid 1 - Antonio Lopez

Released by Athletico, half his release price on TM = £700k..

by David James Number One Fri 6 Jul 2012 - 10:57

Chelsea Bid 2

Alessandro Nesta, releaased by Milan, half his TM valu = £450k..

by Marky Fri 6 Jul 2012 - 11:18

Waste of a bid, he didn't join Fulham the other day as he's leaving Europe.

by **Hero** Fri 6 Jul 2012 - 11:45

TP:1
Ben Amos
Man Utd to Spurs
Bid: 900k
Whilst Ben is languishing as 3rd choice at Utd he would get the chance to challenge Friedel for the 1st spot at Spurs. Not only that but the Spurs manager lives in Macclesfield so they can car share to work.

by GSC Fri 6 Jul 2012 - 11:52

Nesta just signed for the Montreal Impact Laugh

by David James Number One Fri 6 Jul 2012 - 14:53

Nesta wanted a large paycheque. This is more likely at Chelsea than Fulham

by Russell_Elmo Fri 6 Jul 2012 - 15:04

David James Number One wrote:Nesta wanted a large paycheque. This is more likely at Chelsea than Fulham

He wanted a move outside of Europe and he's more likely to be started at Fulham than Chelsea. He'd be behind Luiz, Ivanovic, Terry and Cahill! Also Chelsea are trying to reduce their age squad not increase it.

by David James Number One Fri 6 Jul 2012 - 15:08

I've never said im trying to reduce my age squad? and how do you know he wouldnt start?

by Russell_Elmo Fri 6 Jul 2012 - 15:20

so you're telling me you'd start Nesta over Chelsea's 4 current center backs?

by Guest Fri 6 Jul 2012 - 18:10

West ham

BID 1:

Paul Robinson (GK)
Blackburn to West ham
£2.5million

Blackburn have just been relegated. we can offer him premier league football and a real tussle between him and green for no1 jersey! £2.5m can get blackburn a championship replacment, and Robinson has said that he isnt sure of his future.

by cherriesfna Fri 6 Jul 2012 - 18:37

bUD 1
BAS DOST, from heereveen
fee 8mil
a move to the prem will be a step up in your carear, wolfburgare also interested but they play in a less supirior league and will not be in europe, we play to ourstrengths and will be a permanent in ourteam, this is a step upin yourcarear

by Guest Fri 6 Jul 2012 - 19:02

tennis is over, so hopefully these will be answered soon Smile

by **Hero** Fri 6 Jul 2012 - 19:14

TP 2
Lassana Diarra
Real Madrid to Tottenham
£4m

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2169570/Tottenham-want-sign-Lassana-Diarra.html?ito=feeds-newsxml
http://www.metro.co.uk/sport/football/904276-lassana-diarra-on-tottenhams-radar-as-real-madrid-shelve-contract-talks

Diarra has long been linked with a move to Spurs and with Madrid informing him that he is surplus to requirements he is available at a cut price deal.
This would be funded by selling Tiote.

by Guest Fri 6 Jul 2012 - 20:00

any answers mate? Smile

by The Special Juan Fri 6 Jul 2012 - 20:02

I'm working on it. 3 of them are head scratchers.

by The Special Juan Fri 6 Jul 2012 - 20:12

Chris Burke - Yes
Jack Butland - Yes on the condition he be 1st choice.
If he's just going to sit on the bench he would sooner go to a bigger club, but if he starts I think he would be happy at Norwich.
Cissokho - Yes
Schurrle - Yes
Nesta - No
Heard he wanted to play in America (which he is doing) plus he's probably on oodles of cash.
Lopez - yes
Amos - Yes
Robinson - Yes
BAS DOST - No
He's "signed" for Wolfsburg who are bigger than Southampton
Diarra - More money required
£8m seems reasonable.

by Guest Fri 6 Jul 2012 - 20:14

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 6 Jul 2012 - 20:14

I said Butland would challenge. He may not be first choice every week.

by GSC Fri 6 Jul 2012 - 20:17

If he wanted to challenge he'd go Spurs and push Friedel. Guaranteed starting spot would be his only reason to go to Norwich.

by Trebs Fri 6 Jul 2012 - 20:28

Will take Cissokho and Schurrle

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 6 Jul 2012 - 20:29

Will take Burke but pass on Butland

He won't be first team for me

by **Hero** Fri 6 Jul 2012 - 20:44

Signed Ben Amos, there's my Olly like moment.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 6 Jul 2012 - 20:45

Huh?

by **Hero** Fri 6 Jul 2012 - 20:56

Bought him mainly due to him coming from my hometown ala you and Norwich guys.

by GSC Fri 6 Jul 2012 - 20:57

I was going for talking up a mediocre player.

by Russell_Elmo Fri 6 Jul 2012 - 21:55

Bid 1
Gaël Bigirimana
Coventry to Fulham
£1m
Coventry are cash strapped and were recently relegated from the Championship. This player has caught our attention and we want to give him a chance at a higher level of football to build on his potential.

by The Special Juan Sat 7 Jul 2012 - 21:56

Gaël Bigirimana - Yes (He's signed for Newcastle IRL for £1m)

by Trebs Mon 9 Jul 2012 - 11:10

Ezekiel Fryers
Man United to Liverpool
1m
Hasn't signed a new contract at United, and in real life it is going to tribunal to decide how much it will be, which we expect to be a small fee of a few hundred thousand.

by GSC Mon 9 Jul 2012 - 11:39

Jussi Jaaskalainan to Swansea

500k

FA irl, PL football etc

by Russell_Elmo Mon 9 Jul 2012 - 12:56

Bid 1
Kolo Toure
Bid: £5m
Man City to Fulham
Reasoning: Has fallen way behind in terms of first team selection at Man City. He's been linked with a move away from the club to QPR. we believe £5m is a fair price since City are looking to slash their wage bill and have been linked with a move for Godin.

by cherriesfna Mon 9 Jul 2012 - 13:37

TP1
Chris Gunter
Forest to Soton
1.95 mil
you will start in the prem, you are international standerd and have raked up 35 caps and only 22, this will be a carear helping move

by GSC Mon 9 Jul 2012 - 13:40

You'd probs be looking at 2-2.5m for Gunts mate thumbsup

We're broke (for the next 24 hours or so) but we'd want more for our best player.

by cherriesfna Mon 9 Jul 2012 - 13:43

done 1.95, is pretty much 2 mil and it makes my budget a whole number

by Gregers Mon 9 Jul 2012 - 16:43

Sam Hutchingson
£150k

Left out by Chelsea from their squad we would love to bring him in as backup to the first team.

by Fernando Mon 9 Jul 2012 - 16:57

Carlos Vela

200k

Left out original squad would like to bring him in to actually get some game time for once Foreign Transfers - Page 4 3559488474

Norwich City

MAKE NO BIDS TODAY

by Guest Mon 9 Jul 2012 - 17:29

by GSC Mon 9 Jul 2012 - 17:30

Would McClean really go to Norwich anyway

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 9 Jul 2012 - 17:31

I have editted it and decided to hold fire for the moment

by **Hero** Mon 9 Jul 2012 - 19:50

by Guest Mon 9 Jul 2012 - 20:11

are we going to get answers for these Smile

?

i havent posted one, but waiting for them to be answered before i can do a deal..

by The Special Juan Mon 9 Jul 2012 - 20:38

Fryers - Yes
Jääskeläinen - Yes
Kolo - No
Chris Gunter - More money
£2.5m
Hutchinson - Yes
Vela - More money
Technically he's a free agent so it's £2.65m
Norwich City- No
Milito - No

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 9 Jul 2012 - 20:40

Well that should put off all potential investors to my team. Resounding no

by **Hero** Mon 9 Jul 2012 - 20:42

I thought it was carrying on from the previous sentence and it was 2.65m for Norwich, I was going to try and barter it down.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 9 Jul 2012 - 20:44

To be fair, I would only pay £2 million for our club. Canary Call alone brings the value down by £10 million

by GSC Mon 9 Jul 2012 - 20:58

You'd pay more 12m more than its worth then Olly.

by Trebs Mon 9 Jul 2012 - 21:08

Will confirm Fryers

Lassana Diarra
Madrid to Liverpool
8m

Tottenham enquired about the player and opted out of signing him when the asking price was too high. However, at Liverpool we would love to get the player on board and are willing to match the asking price.
