I will be fine im actually more a football man than Rugby man by a country mile.

Know players like the back of my hand so I will be fine. I write about a lot of football, talk about a lot of football and watch a lot of football.

Been a football fan from a young age and know all the players etc...

Foreign transfers and domestic transfers should be a walk over for me, not being cocky or anything but im sure I will do pretty well.

Already have one player in mind if foreigns open shortly I do not know, but a certain Argentine is on my radar.

Really want a football game to take off, not played in one that hasn't been a success as this website doesn't have many games mostly rugby hopefully we can get the ball rolling and do well.

Just to let you know I will be targeting Olsson as back-up for Ashley Cole

£22m for Essien.

Umm cut it down to 18 and chuck Olsson in there and I may do it

I know my players, just the money what may be a bit difficult to adjust at the start of a game like this.

Interested in Olsson for back-up to Cole.

Essien would need 28 million, if it's realistic as it is.

There is tones of midfielders in the world

Right-back, midfielder and I like my wingers there my top three targets.

Have a top player in mind young central midfielder from Argentina.

Olsson & Hoilett
4
Van Aanholt & Sturridge

?

Olsson + Hoillet
for
Sturridge + van Aanholt

Alright confirm wherever.

Ashley Cole I know he is one of the best but I really really like Baines, and really want him from Bathite might be a loss but his my favourite Everton player.

Sorry hodgey ibra and busquests are 2 players i really really don't like, where as alonso and hernandez i rate and like to watch.

Also probably wouldn't do a 3 4 2 against, as means i need more targets tomorrow.

whats the crack with releases? when, rough prices etc.?

Have the LB's as even (we both paid £18m), and Puyol significantly higher (I paid £25m, you paid £15m).

Not as much as you underpaid for Chivu, and Podolski, and Robinho.....

Much prefer to be stronger in attack.

Mata and Alonso

Well, alonso would take xavi or busquets. You wont sell xavi, fair enough and i hate sergio, so thats off the cards!

Mata, that would take robinho and a big gain at centre back, pique?

Mata+Heitinga
4
Robinho+Pique

ENQ only

Nasri + Bosingwa
for
Alves + Podolski?
--------------------

Germans Love 'em. You can always rely on them unlike England.

Would do the above for Arshavin or Malouda but not Nasri.

Being Arsenal on two different leagues at the same time is doing my head in.

Ozil to Moutinho is a big drop so couldn't really do that.

Any interest in

Fabregas + Nasri + Bosingwa
for
Xavi + Podolski + Alves

not selling any of the defenders atm mate
make an offer i might accept
and why is the league page locked ??

Chivu + Busquets + Ibrahimovic
for
Luiz + Drogba + Essien?

sorry no deal not a bad offer btw

would you do

pique + Busquets + Ibrahimovic + robinho
for
terry + Drogba + Essien + vargas + 10M ???

pique + busquets + ibrahimovic
=
terry + essien + drogba

pique + busquets + ibrahimovic
=
terry + essien + drogba


Rips apart my Barcelona theme but go on then, deal
-------------------------------------------
also rips apart my chelsea side ;-)
i'll confirm

Needing to improve in midfield and on the wings really with the players I've got so will say no deal.

Doesn't sway it for me mate. I need some wingers most importantly.

Foreigners started yesterday. I took 5 players. And today I've been busy so only got 2 players this morning and am trying to fill in the gaps this evening but most of the decent players are being taken.

No thanks. Prefer my 2.

Would you consider:

Terry + Chivu
=
Vidic + Jones

enq.

Thanks buddy.

Difference between Pod and Robben is way too big mate.

Kaka + Nesta
=
Moutinho + Terry

Enquiry

Terry would be making the deal really, I'd be unsure if I'd even do it with him in it anyway

Drogba + Podolski + Moutinho
for
Fabregas + Torres + Arshavin?
----------------------------------

Drogba = Torres
Pod = Arsh (on here imo)
Mou << Fab.

Not going to happen I'm afraid.

Moutinho + Terry
for
Ozil + Marchena

maybe but I guess it's Fab you're after.

Torres for Drogba is not an option. I want to hold onto Nando.

The other three bits I may consider as a deal but only considering atm.

Sorry bud, woouldn't want to add anything and tbh I think I'll leave it. Bosingwa is a decent RB on here so improving there to lose in midfield is not the greatest move imo.

Podolski + Moutinho + Abidal + Alves
for
Arshavin + Ozil + Clichy + Bosingwa?
---------------------------

Maybe Hodgey. I rate Clichy and Abidal equal really but Abidal is more versatile for injury cover. I am waiting on another offer first though before I decide on this.

Question for you (and I have my view which won't change whatever you answer but I am curious), are you rating Pod or Arshavin higher in the above?

Chivu + Drogba
for
Rooney + Vidic?

--

Eh?

Chivu << Vidic
Drogba < Rooney

Essien + Moutinho + Chivu
for
Mexes + Mascherano + Sneijder?
------------------------
Not a Moutinho fan and rate Sneijder much higher than him
No deal mate

Come on mate....

Decent offer but prefer my players so no thanks.

Sorry mate but I'm weakening twice to improve once, and Arbeloa holds rating at LB due to his versatility, I don't think it would be the same case with Alves at LB

Maicon + Arshavin + Fabregas + Clichy
for
Moutinho + Podolski + Alves + Abidal?
------------------------

Hmm. Take me through this one to see where I make any real gain?

Alves/Maicon, Arshavin/Podolski and Clichy/Abidal will all be rated fairly equal. Fab >> Moutinho.

I would need a significant gain elsewhere to consider losing Fab for Moutinho.

A good offer again but I think ideally, I'd want to improve RW if I were to loose Villa.

Podolski + Alves + Adler
for
Valdes + Arshavin + Maicon?
------------------------

I still don't really see that improving me.

Ozil + Song/Wilshere
for
Essien + Moutinho

Moutinho + Drogba
for
Lampard + Ibrahimovic?

sorry mate no deal

how much would you want for abidal ?

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

----

Mate, I'm not at all interested in a deal like that. Sorry.

Terry + Chivu + Drogba
=
Cahill + Vidic + Rooney

enq.

would need xavi in some sort of deal for lampard

Podolski + Drogba + Moutinho
for
Lampard + Cazorla + Ibrahimovic?

no deal mate sorry dnt want podolski

Podolski + Terry + Alves + Moutinho + Drogba
for
Malouda + Lucio + Bosingwa + vdV + Villa?

==

Probably rate 4 of mine higher there. I might go with captainunited's offer i think.

Essien + Chivu + Adler
for
Mascherano + Casillas + Mexes?
----------------------------------
Decent offer but prefer Mexes and Casillas over your two, even though Essien>Mascherano

No deal mate

Casillas + Masch + Sneijder + Coentrao
for
Abidal + Adler + Moutinho + Essien?
------------------------
worse for me as Sneijder easily >> Moutinho

Moutinho = Senna?

Seems like you're struggling to flog him for an AMC, maybe change tact and go 4-5-1? Essien and Xavi or more box-to-box so would work well ahead of Senna
