going now mate, won't be back on here till friday evening probs. any thoughts on our offer?

whatever floats your boat, cheers 4 quick reply.

Hi mate, for Alonso/De Rossi, im looking for someone of similar world class, so vidic would be ideal

or maybe fletcher and a big gain elsewhere, an extra winger perhaps

by the way i would of added lloris 4 de gea as you suggested if that helps? if not, no worries. Messi Rooney Ronaldo would of looked good

Inabit.

Another decent offer but for me gaining Young isn't worth loosing Villa.

Don't want Jones. Needs to prove himself to be rated on here....

15m for Park and A.Young?

But Messi is worth around 100m yet bought on here for 51m

Prices IRL make no difference on here

Sorry mate but its pretty much giving away two rated defenders for one, so no deal

Cheers bud.

You've taken a gamble giving up so much to get Ronaldo but to have both him and Messi in the same side....

I am always open to offers but other than your front 3 and Vidic, not too much interests me now. I would have done something for Nani probably.

I will of course be willing to discuss any deal involving Ronaldo or Leo.

Prefer to keep Milito since my CB cover isn't great. Perhaps something like

Zhirkov + Wilshere + Koscielny
for
Berbatov + Fletcher

enq

Rvp + Ivanovic
=
ronaldo + rafael

Masch + Tymo
=
Fletcher + Carrick
-------------------------
Not a fan of either of them mate so no deal.

That is a scary front 3 you have

Chivu + Drogba
for
Rooney + Vidic?

Was a cheeky punt to see if you rated Drogba higher than Rooney. Didn't expect you to as he isn't as good.

Pepe, Mexes, Klose
=
Vidic, Cahill, Berba
-------------------------------
Decent offer but Cahill hardly holds any value in this league currently.
Thats why I have to no deal

Nasri + Ozil + G.Milito
for
Messi + Friedrich

Enq.

Chivu + Metzelder + Alves + Robinho
for
Ronaldo + Vidic + Cahill + Rafael?

Anderson + Young + Smalling
=
Demichilis + Hamsik + Hazard


no deal

how much you want for messi ?

Decent offer again but don't really want to loose Villa if I can help it.

Damn you pull, I wanted to keep hold of that Argie front 3 then you offer me Ronaldo

Could I maybe offer Young around see what I could get for him and let you know?

Possible alternative.

Maicon + Nasri + Ozil
for
Rafael + Messi

Enq only.

Your attack

But Cahill...

Albiol + V Buyten
For
Vidic + Cahill?

Following on from Luke's line of enquiry, I could do

Marchena + G.Milito
for
Vidic + Friedrich (or Cahill)

Following on from Guv and Luke's enquiries...

Vidic + Cahill
for
Chivu + Metzelder?

taiwo + Young +jones
=
Demichilis + Hamsik + hazard

enq

Terry + Chivu + Drogba
=
Cahill + Vidic + Rooney


Not interested in losing Terry for Cahill or really Rooney for Drogba - Drogba's probably better in the lone role.

Cahill + Vidic
for
Chivu + Metzelder?

Sums it up pretty well..

enq
david villa + bosingwa = ronaldo + rafael ??

...could be added into any deal for Ronaldo or Messi.

or Berba/Fletcher interest me. Possibly Senna.

Vidic of course as well.

Lots of scope.

Senna/Fletcher + Fabio + Young
=
Arshavin + Maxwell + Wilshere
--------------------------

The problem I have with the above is that I am currently trying to use Arshavin and Wilshere to get hold of a top DM. Senna, sadly, has dropped to the level of adequate DM now.

What about something very simple like Maxwell for Young ?

alrite mate, yes it was a deal. sorry for late reply

enq
david villa + bosingwa = ronaldo + rafael ????

I'm just going to deal now:

Di Maria + Aguero + Higuain
=
Young + Rooney + Ronaldo

Well no need to worry about that here, Ronnie will fit in just fine

I'm not gonna lie, I'd have some kleenex prepared once you see that front 4 you've now got

erm, don't know

Any idea when you signed him?

what for messi mate ???

No worries

Essien Xavi Moutinho
=
Messi Carrick Fletcher


To be honest I'm not really interested in Messi if it means losing out massively in other areas like others are. Essien for Fletcher and Xavi for Carrick are definite no gos.

Di Maria
4
Modric

??

Your lacking a quality Midfielder....

What for Samuel?
----------------------------
I am looking for a winger and a center back so that is what i would want

Hi mate. I was just pondering an enquiry for you when your one comes onto my page. I'm not doing that since I don't want to lose Clichy atm but what about

One of my LBs other than Clichy
for
Berba ?

You have lots of strike options, I have too many LB options.

My LBs are:

Zhirkov
Gibbs
Maxwell
Jansen

Demichelis is my main CB back up so reluctant to lose him in a deal like that. If he needs to be included then the Vidic / Vermaelen bit needs to be in as well.

Demichelis + Maxwell + Vermaelen + Chamakh
for
Berba + Vidic + Cahill

Cahill + Giggs
=
Samuel?
--------------------
would be weakening my side with that

di maria
=
hamsik+falcao

enq

vida+di maria
=
sakho+badstuber+hamsik

enq atm

Weren't you tempted by the above then pull?

I'm still interested in a deal for Berba and Vidic but not keen on losing that much just for Berba, who would only be back up for me. I'm sure we can come up with something.

How do you rate Song / Senna?

I'll have to leave the Vidic bit then since I can't lose both my starting CBs for him, rather defeats the purpose of improving on one. The closest I could come for that is

Vermaelen + Clichy + Demichelis
for
Vidic + Cahill

If the above is possible let me know. I am thinking about the Berba bit atm.

Verm + Kompany + Clichy + Chamakh
=
Vidic + Cahill + Taiwo + Berba
--------------------------

Probably not in the top 10 although as Belgium's first choice CB pairing they have a certain chemistry. I would be losing 3 of my starting back 4 in the above. I have lots of LB back up so Taiwo doesn't really interest me. Any chance of

Verm + Kompany + Maxwell + Chamakh
=
Vidic + Cahill + Berba

You get to keep Taiwo as back up. Maxwell is now that far below Clichy and would get decent predos.

Ok mate. I'll deal on that.

First set of predos will give you a clue whether people think you're too attacking but I'm not convinced you are. Fletcher and Senna work well. Senna is getting old now so you may get the odd comment on that but you shouldn't be marked down badly for him imo.

You may want to consider swapping Aguero for a more recognised CAM perhaps, pushing Di Maria and Messi ahead of him but that's about it really.
