Depends if Tolisso is well thought of here. If he is, why lawyer him at any price?

Trouble is Afro..

Flip it on its head and think of it this way.

We allowed lawyers on star players from the off, player prices go up, people lawyer big players for example Tolisso for £31.5m, release and lawyer the other allowance for the week..then boom all of a sudden you have Kroos or Verratti or someone of that ilk in the league within the first few weeks. It has happened in other leagues where players have gotten lawyer offers a week after they enter the league i think it happened with Dybala for Nando once.

Longevity wise, i couldnt really see other options, i want this league to last a long time but i felt like the best way to handle that was the route we went down. I know big players come into the league eventually and im prepared for that but I was hoping for it to happen gradually, realising there will be a bit of a void where you wont be able to upgrade past a certain level until the end of the season.

I'm happy to wait on Werner and Dembele until the end of the season to cash in on them. Expecting Dembele to be around the 70m mark based on what Mbappe went to, so my 50m investment turns into 115m come the end of the season.

Unless he comes back from injury and flops like Kieran Dyer

There's always that risk but I think he's still a pretty safe bet.

Morning. I have the same issue with Zlatan but previous recent form has to figure in somewhere.

Olly, were you wanting to do the Press Conference the other day?

lads

might have to go 4-3-3 this week

ps Iniesta at 18m? is a fantastic bit of business

Afro wrote:Increase is all bad news as far as I can work out. Can’t sell for new price, makes more players potentially less lawyerable and makes targets more expensive.

Eg what happens if you keep getting Lawyers for Tolisso. Accept the lower price or reject and have less lawyer sales than others

It's why we shouldn't have had transfers and squads before the updates xx

I can see both sides of the coin, but honestly you should be able to cash in on your financial gains

Idea time.
Allow managers to make upto 5 players not for sale, they're then exempt from lawyers each week so everyone still gets 2 lawyers that they will probably accept.

Not opposed to this but only if there's unanimous agreement.

yea that could work, saves people feeling their missing out on potential sales, I'm not fussed for me either way, Ive chosen to reject both of my offers this week

they're not their

Not opposed either. Hello by the way.

I actually think it shouldn't happen

Despite my two lawyers offers being for players I don't want to sell, the fact is in reality you wouldn't be able to pick and choose who you can and can't receive offers for, so I don't think we need to add that here.

And therefore because there is not unanimous agreement, I cannot support a change in rules mid-season.

If you're that desperate to lose particular players then just release them at 75%.

Am I ok sending tactics to you now Miky?

I'm after a winger and a midfielder if anyone fancies a deal. Maybe a wing back too.

Generally looking for pex to refresh my squad a bit.

You can send them when you want twist (before the deadline)

Thanks mate. Have sent

Don't forget that the lawyers week reset this morning and is now running Friday to Friday

No cash not for foreigns anyway

lads

So I can sign two players again now?

Yes, plus two youth players

But obviously they won't be eligible for this week's game

Any sign of the new press conference?

Didn't Olly say he wanted to do it?

I have whacked up 6 questions.

Sheep anyone?

Yes he did Hero and thanks Nando - was in a meeting this morning then lunch.

whats sheep?

Sorry lads I’ve been away with work this week - and I said I could do it but nobody told me I was...so just left it

If you want me to do be in charge of PC Q’s for the season I’m happy too

will do tactics shortly just lookin at new cars

5m for Angel Gomes in realition to this.

Good buy or bad buy?

never seen him play, but thats not to say he's a bad investment

Honestly it's a punt at that price. Looks an exceptional talent but realistically is he going to get much in the way of real game time this season apart from an occasional league cup game? Sancho who I just got for 4.3m I'd say is better value as Dortmund have just recalled him from the u17 world cup so he can play this weekend for them.

Sheep answers to me by 4.30 prompt.

1. Who will be the Premier League top goalscorer?
2. Which side have been the biggest PL overachievers this season?
3. Name a F1 Grand Prix other than Monaco or Silverstone
4. Name a former X Factor judge
5. Other than FIFA, name a console game which has come out this year.
6. Name any foreign team that play in red.
7. A fruit that is delicious in a cake.
8. Name a former manager in these leagues.

Over Facebook is preferred method of entry but will accept over PM.

Tino - the objective is to send me what you think the most popular answer is to each question

i have PM'd you but can FB if preferred?

ok I understand the concept now, will be my popular maybe next week

Your answers are fine - I've just copied them down into my spreadsheet.

so what's the prize?

Barzagli a decent signing? I think he'll be ok for season 1

Totally get that. I just think he has been exceptional during the U17 World Cup and he may well get some substitute appearances during the busy winter schedule.

My hope is he will "do a Rashford" - come on the pitch and be sensational and then there will be calls (stupid or otherwise) for him to be included in teams more and maybe even a punt for a World Cup squad. Let's face it, England need a bit of creativity.

I agree it's a lot of ifs. But with Barca sniffing around (Gomes hasn't extended his contract) and with a great u17 WC finish it may force Jose to give him more of a chance.

I really do hope he gets a chance and doesn't do a Pogba as he does look the real deal.

Feels a lot of money for someone who is going to get limited game time for the foreseeable future
