season 1:

I'm looking for a wingback, either right or left

Coleman and cash = Mexes?

I'll pass on that but only because i dont want to rip the team in half at this stage

I'd consider swapping Thauvin for Aubemeyang if that's what you're suggesting?

No I'm not suggesting that at all sorry!

And i'm weighing up who to buy from tps!

I'm interested in Cole and Coleman, what would you want money wise?

£9 million for Cole? Done, will confirm

Me too, big fan of Cashley and so much better than Rat!

Looked at kolo myself, got mexes and demi instead in the end but been impressed with kolo for liverpool

Adrian is available potentially

Mickey van der Hart, Dutch U19 goalkeeper, at Ajax IRL, interested?

£250k? If so, feel free to confirm it.

Sorry not too keen on Sidibe sorry.

Jesus Navas + Kolo Toure
=
Bryan Ruiz + Younes Kaboul
ENQ

I expected that
 
I can offer;
 
Benteke + Ruiz
=
Navas + Eto'o
 
Lukaku appears to be winning the popularity contest with Benteke so I'd only be willing to let Benteke leave. And even then, not cheaply.

I can throw in Giggs or Gnabry? Other than that I'm not willing to add too much.
 
Benteke + Ruiz + Giggs/Gnabry
=
Navas + Eto'o

With Benteke + Ruiz = Navas + Eto'o I'm upgrading at RW and you're upgrading at CF. Luke Shaw isn't for sale as his value is only going to climb, and Billy Jones at RB for me is better than Sidibe at least in my opinion.

Benteke + Ruiz + Rekik
=
Navas + Eto'o

That's my final offer.

You can confirm if you agree, I'm leaving work so wont be online again until later. If not, no more I can do.

depends which one we're talking about i have 2, if Lb need a lot of money for a replacement tbh or a very good swap

Just watched Lille beat Evian 3-0, a good performance by a good team

It's all about exposure. Cherries used to do a grand job of telling us about Bony + Aubameyang's goalscoring exploits, you could do the same. Evian weren't great, but Lille looked pretty tasty.

tbh id rather have money + winger/forward tbh atleast then can buy a LB

Jagielka or Martinez
+
Iturraspe or Oscar or £8m
+
Susaeta

For

Navas and Rami

Can we resurrect this Eto'o/Navas = Benteke/Ruiz deal?

I can't lose Shaw, he's one of the highest rated LB's in the league and his value is only going up, which isn't something we can say about the other players in this deal!

If you want another gain, I can go to;

Benteke + Ruiz + Nacho (now starting games at CB for Real Madrid)
=
Navas + Eto'o + Kolo Toure

Let me know whether this is of any interest. I am open to some negotiation on players included

Or suggest something else not involving Luke Shaw?

So Benteke + Ruiz = Navas + Eto'o is on if I add a few million? I can't do that.

Eto'o is NOT going to increase in ratings, he's on the way down and I've got an inform player already in the same mould as him named Jermain Defoe. What about a new deal?

Navas = Benteke
ENQ

Benteke is also one of the best players in the league and that's why I won't do more than a straight swap. Your greediness and unwillingness to compromise has caused this deal to break down. I shall bid you good day.

No worries on Navas. You'll probably get more from others than me with him as I'm not really his biggest fan.

Rami I will have a think.

I'm not genuinely tetchy

I'm not necessarily after a CB, but Hero's offer is one that would improve my team in another area. Your offer wouldn't IMO so no deal.

Coleman + Kjaer = Clyne + Hangeland + £3.5m
ENQ

Coleman was the one I wanted, Kjaer just went in there to balance the deal a bit.

Paulinho = NFS

Bony NFS except for a big offer.

I'd be interested in rami in a deal for Carroll

What would you want for Rami from my squad?

At the most I have 7.35m!

No ta Trebs, Hero and Afro's deals are trumping that at present.

If I'm losing Eriksen I need a top player coming back to me and I won't do a deal that matches TM values alone.

I won't do a deal without either of them in it, it just won't be worth it for me. I need a CF and defender but the other options you have in those areas aren't good enough for me to lose Eriksen.

Siem's lawyer is worth more than Rami's on its own, so adding 5m on my side is barmy.

He's not a sufficient upgrade to warrant paying over the odds for. I can save that 5m, sell de Jong or others to lawyers and get someone better in.

Carroll = Ruiz and x?

I meant Rami! haha

Rami and de Melo?

I'd take that but would prefer a 2for2

Or
could do:

Carroll and Tomkins
=
Rami and Fred

Prefer that one but take your pick

I'd like Bender but Benteke wouldn't be on the table there.

Capoue & ? For Bender?

I'm not as struck on Sahin sorry. How about Capoue and Bernard for Bender and Navas?

Enq

Hi Mighty just thought I'd let you know I am playing a 3-4-3 formation against you this game week.  I'll be playing an attacking system which has the flexibility to quickly shuffle into a defensive format. 

You'll be expecting Neymar to be playing today but I am pleased to say he will not be in the match day squad with his poor attitude and coming late to  training.

 Jose Viva at it again

Didn't work last week as he lost, so hey, why not try it again

It may have not worked last week but to only lose by one goal against a very good side I think I did well.

Azzy didn't really change his tactics though. I think your tactics submission, rather than your mind games are what got you close.

But hey, don't listen to me you concentrate on what you think works....

 I'd like to think my Mourinho style mind games worked. 

Mighty my boy I am playing 3-4-3 and you better be prepared because I have been perfecting this system for a long time.
