by Bathite Mon 18 Jul 2011, 8:58 am

Alonso + Cesar
for
Essien + Bojan + Adler?

-------

No thanks, don't get a gain there and Bojan would be 3rd choice. Swap Alonso for Senna and I might be keen.

by Bathite Mon 18 Jul 2011, 1:51 pm

He won't be this season! And hopefully you guys rate on current form

by LukeLovesLuka Mon 18 Jul 2011, 2:55 pm

An injured Essien is no good to me, and the other parts of the deal are just Holly Wilaboobie for tat really.

by LukeLovesLuka Mon 18 Jul 2011, 3:25 pm

Disagree with rule that if a player is transferred he is no longer injured, and either way, still not interested in the offer

by kamran Mon 18 Jul 2011, 4:01 pm

What were you thinking of mate?

I find it weird that if a player is sold his injury is void but if loaned, he stays injured.

I would have thought, if they are injured, they would stay injured regardless Whistle

Terry + Adler + Bojan + Gourcuff + Essien
for
Iniesta + Mexes + Casillas + Mascherano?
---------------------------------------------------
I dont rate Gourcuff anywhere near Iniesta and thats my main reason for no deal

by kamran Mon 18 Jul 2011, 4:45 pm

Essien + Miguel + Terry + Bojan + Abidal + Adler
for
Casillas + Mexes + Breno + Masch + Coentrao?
-----------------------------------------
Fair enough with injuries comment. It does make sense.

Im happy with my defence and not interested in Bojan or Miguel in the slightest mate

by kamran Mon 18 Jul 2011, 5:04 pm

Adler + Essien + Terry + Gourcuff
for
Sneijder + Casillas + Masch + Mexes?
----------------------------------
Gap between Casillass/Adler and Sneijder/Gourcuff is bigger than Mexes/Terry and Masch/Essien

Sorry but not wanting to sell players like Iniesta or Sneijder unless they improve 2/3 positions

by kamran Mon 18 Jul 2011, 5:19 pm

Would you be interested then if we took out the GK swap? That improves 2 positions for you as Essien > Masch and Terry > Mexes.
----------------------
not really because I don't rate Gourcuff whatsoever.
He was overated at Milan and his goalscoring record is no better than N'Zogbia's.

by kamran Mon 18 Jul 2011, 5:35 pm

Mate its not the defence that I want to improve - its the attacking part of my team.

To lose Sneijder or Iniesta, I would need similiar replacements in attack.
However, not keen on losing either

by Cor Blimey Guvnor Mon 18 Jul 2011, 11:25 pm

Not really. I gain a little with Xavi but lose with the keeper swap and of course will have also lost the gain I had with Essien.

by kamran Tue 19 Jul 2011, 10:46 am

Essien + Carvalho + Adler
for
Casillas + Masch + Mexes?
----------------------------
If you change it to Carvalho to Terry, I would deal

by kamran Tue 19 Jul 2011, 12:15 pm

Id rather keep Pepe tbh

The drop from Adler to Casillas is a massive drop thats why I need a good gain

by kamran Tue 19 Jul 2011, 12:18 pm

You mean....

I'm glad I dealt with you.
It was a good initial offer and I do think your team will look top notch witjh Casillas

Always a pleasure doing business with you mate

by BoredUntilAugust Thu 21 Jul 2011, 7:34 pm

don't think he's more suited at all tbh mate. either way, it's still playing an attacking mid out of position, hence why I started Turan this week and probably will next week unless I sign a new winger, lets me get modric in his best position for the time being

by captainunited Thu 21 Jul 2011, 8:20 pm

hodgey cmon mate why would i do that

villa > drogba
ribery >> podolski

by captainunited Thu 21 Jul 2011, 8:25 pm

can give you mata or muller for xavi

enq

xavi + carvalho + podolski

improve your defence + wing

by captainunited Thu 21 Jul 2011, 8:27 pm

scrap the above one
not selling toulalan or busquets

enq

xavi + carvalho
=
luiz + muller/mata

by BoredUntilAugust Thu 21 Jul 2011, 8:33 pm

better offer mate but gap between the cb's is bigger IMO. Ibra has been banging in the goals for me.

by captainunited Thu 21 Jul 2011, 8:33 pm

how about

xavi + carvalho
=
vidic + muller/mata
??

Sorry mate but I'd rather be stronger outfield than in goal

by followfollow1972 Wed 27 Jul 2011, 1:37 pm

Kaka + Young
=
Gourcuff + Robinho

by followfollow1972 Wed 27 Jul 2011, 2:01 pm

Then I'd rate both mine higher mate

Offer still stands

by captainunited Wed 27 Jul 2011, 3:52 pm

sorry mate cant lose ribery for podolski
decent offer btw.

by Cor Blimey Guvnor Wed 27 Jul 2011, 5:04 pm

Xavi + Adler + Podolski
for
Fabregas + Valdes + Nasri?
------------------------

Two losses for one gain. Not going to do that.

I'd consider it for Arshavin/Podolski but my main aim is to improve on Demichelis and Senna.
