dnt want drogba

Sorry mate, just nipped out and forgot about your last offer

For me Ribery and Podolski are on different planets, no chance of it happening, sorry.

Prefer Cazorla to be honest and am happy with Lucio.

Essien Xavi Moutinho
=
Messi Carrick Fletcher

enq.

Sorry bud. Not interested. Pod and Arsh are eve.n as are the rbs imo. Looking to improve dm

Kaka + Young
=
Moutinho + Robinho

Nah sorry, weakening twice to improve once there

good side mate

Chivu + Drogba + Podolski
for
Rio + Forlan + Ribery?

RIo > Chivu
Forlan < Drogba (but i think forlan is world class anyway)
Ribery >(>) Pod

Hardest part with these leagues is trying to form a squad, no use just having 11 quality players and some random bolton players as back-up.

Wouldn't lose Silva for Pod mate.

Alves + Robinho + Moutinho + Essien
for
Busquets + Sagna + Villa + vdv?

busquets = essien
vdv > moutinho
sagna < alves
villa >> robinho

no deal sorry

not a bad offer but no deal.

Se Navas quite a bit better than Podolski and personally rate Zabaleta higher than Miguel to be honest.

After the season Miguel has had, im more than happy to stick with him so that wont make a difference.

I meant Marcelo....

Drogba + Terry + Abidal + Podolski
for
Navas + Ibrahimovic + Chiellini + Evra?

Drogba => Ibra
Terry = Chiellini (I prefer Chiellini)
Podoslki < Navas
Abidal < Evra

no chance mate, sorry.

BTW, I'm thinking if I don't get a winger for Ibra/Forlan

----------- David de Gea ----------
------------------------------------
Sagna - Juan(C) - Chiellini - P Evra
------------------------------------
--------- A Pirlo - L Diarra ---------
------------------------------------
Navas --------------------- Modric
------------------------------------
---------- Ibr'vic - Forlan -----------

You think that looks ok?

Simply had to do that Ribery deal..

Ribery = Ibra (rating wise on here)
Zambrotta << Sagna

Did you think the deal was a good one that I did mate? Considering I can use one of Forlan/Ibra/Modric to try and sign a winger, thought it was pretty good deal. Definately gained IMO.

And do you prefer Modric on the left and those two up top, or my 4-2-3-1 with turan on left?

Navas + Ibrahimovic + de Gea
for
Adler + Drogba + Podolski?

Not keen on that either.

Navas > Podolski
Ibra <= Drogba
De Gea > Adler

De Gea's ratings have soared, probably one of the best keepers to have at the moment, so not looking to lose him really.

By the way, won't be on often again through the week, anything I need to do or is it just a week of domestics? WIll obviously try pop on now and again to answer offers and check whats happening, but busy most of time.

De Gea's loved on here mate.

Bojan + Drogba + Podolski
for
Navas + Ibra + Turan?

Bojan > Turan
Drogba => Ibrahimovic
Podolski < Navas

Bojan, Turan doesn't bother me, won't be starting either. Drogba/Ibra doesn't bother me either. Whilst I much prefer Navas to Pod.

Or...

Modric + Evra + Forlan + Sagna
for
Alves + Moutinho + Abidal + Drogba

Evra > Abidal
Sagna <= Alves
Forlan < Drogba
Modric > Moutinho

That is a better offer mate, but I don't fancy losing Modric for Moutinho, especially when I'm striving to replace one of Modric/Ibra/Forlan with a winger, would sort of mess up my plans.

I agree with that, but if I did that and used Drogba/Ibra to bring in a winger, then Moutinho would still be starting for me? Don't think he's good enough to compliment the rest of my side tbh.

Essien + Podolski + Bojan
for
Arteta + de Rossi + Mata

------

No thanks mate

maybe drogba?

Would you consider

Ozil + Arshavin + Rafinha
for
Moutinho + Podolski + D.Alves ?

The Arsh/Pod bit is optional depending on whether you think you are gaining on that bit or not. If you feel you're gaining (I do) then we can include it else not.

Not yet but just need to confirm a deal elsewhere to get him.

Kompany or Marchena in your opinion? I can't decide atm.

Ozil + Arshavin + Rafinha
for
Moutinho + Podolski + D.Alves

Now an offer.

No, I wouldn't.

Essien + Moutinho
for
Fabregas + Toulalan?
---------------------

Doesn't really help me overall. Toulalan is a good DM and will do a job for me. Fab is a potential matchwinner, Moutinho isn't (on here anyway).

My interest in Podolski has also cooled now since I have brought Berbatov in as my back up striker.

Ozil + Rafinha
for
Moutinho + D.Alves

remains on the table but negotiable

Much as I hate to say it, on here Vidic would appear to be > JT so I confess to not being too keen for that addition. Business is business after all.

If you added Chivu for Demichelis as well and I add Arshavin for Pod (I rate Arsh > Pod as I said yesterday) then we may have a deal.

Just seen this offer, doesnt really interest me, sorry.

Rafinha + Essien + Abidal
for
Capdevila + Yaya + Maicon

===

I have the ratings like this:

Yaya <= Essien
Capdevila = Abidal
Maicon >> Rafinha

ribery is nfs mate sorry

I see you've been well keen on getting rid of Essien since he's crocked again

How does the injuries thing work? If you sell them they're healed?

I'd consider:

De Rossi + Rafael
=
Alves + Essien?

He might be now but he probably won't play this year.. his stock's bound to go down.

A fit De Rossi is better than a crocked Essien

Still don't want Moutinho.

M.Diarra for Riise?

I'm not really a fan of Adler.. would consider a Essien/De Rossi swap with something else in though..

Vidic + Rafinha + Ozil
For
Terry + Alves + Moutinho

Enq

Not sure a move to Fulham improves a players ratings...

Still don't want Moutinho for Tevez.

I still believe Vidic rated higher than JT on here so any chance of something extra? Rag for Alves for instance.

Or maybe making it Song instead of Toulalan?

good offer but not really looking to downgrade on Gourcuff.

then i would probably deal. i dont really have much choice as im without Carvalho for 3 weeks, if i play Ibanez i will lose! Flamini is a DM and better than Riquelme anyway. So yeah, i'd probably have to deal then.

Yeah go on then.

No im not mate, should i be?

Toil + Ozil + Vidic + demi
For
Ess + gour + JT + ricci

may have to take a look

Or maybe

Ozil + Vidic + Toulalan + Szczesny
For
Gourcuff + JT + Essien + Adler

Both first xi injuries sorted

Or I could make it Valdes instead if you addedAlves for Rafinha or Carvalho for Demichelis

Essien + Bojan
=
de rossi + vucinic

Enq

Not really, prefer Lloris so there's no incentive for me to change!

I'll leave it then. Gourcuff only marginally better than Moutinho.

No. My two are rated higher I can get a good deal for Vidic elsewhere so would need more such as Ricci for demi if I add Ozil for Gourcuff.

No thanks mate

Prefer both my players mate and essien is out until new year at least, so will have no form
