Diarra is a good player, but Vidal is better. He was the best midfielder in the Bundesliga last year and will fit straight into the Juve team this season.

It is only my opinion, but I would rather have Vidal. Presumably Pineapple thinks the same, hence why he would swap them. See what others think.

by FIFA Diva Mon 08 Aug 2011, 11:58 am

Dude whats Pennant doing in your team? He plays for me.

by **Afro** Mon 08 Aug 2011, 12:10 pm

See - I told you so Very Happy

Having said that:

Parker + Lugano + £15M = Vidal + Bonucci

or

Parker + £8m = Vidal

by FIFA Diva Mon 08 Aug 2011, 12:21 pm

I've never released him.

by PINEAPPLEHEAD Mon 08 Aug 2011, 12:55 pm

NO WILL ONLY DO STRATE SWAP

by PINEAPPLEHEAD Mon 08 Aug 2011, 1:20 pm

NO PROBLEM I PREFER TO KEEP LASS DIARRA THEN AS I DON THINK ITS WORTH IT

by smartestgooner Mon 08 Aug 2011, 1:32 pm

Sorry mate not interested in selling my RBs, you have Srna anyway

by nick_fury Mon 08 Aug 2011, 1:38 pm

van der weil - 10m?

Nah mate will take more

by **Afro** Mon 08 Aug 2011, 2:22 pm

Would give you Rod Fanni + £5m for Srna?

by smartestgooner Mon 08 Aug 2011, 2:34 pm

Probably going to hang on to them as if I get an injury I would be stuffed

by **Afro** Mon 08 Aug 2011, 2:39 pm

Fair enough.

Have you seen van der Wiel play recently? Once again, you are far better off keeping Srna IMO. VDW had been poor

by puntingred Mon 08 Aug 2011, 2:48 pm

I'd need about 10M, he is featuring for Brazil

by puntingred Mon 08 Aug 2011, 2:49 pm

Keep going on wrong page. Oops Wink

by **Afro** Mon 08 Aug 2011, 3:40 pm

Parker + £8m = Vidal

or

Menez + £5m = Hazard?

or

Turan = Hazard?

or

Turan + Parker + £11.25m = Hazard + Vidal

by **Afro** Mon 08 Aug 2011, 4:32 pm

LOL. Flogging a dead horse I feel.

How about, if I can raise it, £70m for Bonucci, Vidal, Capdevila and Hazard Laugh

by **Afro** Mon 08 Aug 2011, 4:38 pm

On a serious note, what persuade you to part with all/any of them?

by **Afro** Mon 08 Aug 2011, 4:45 pm

Are you interested in Gary Cahill or Arda Turan at all?

And you aren't interested in Parker anymore then?

by **Afro** Mon 08 Aug 2011, 4:58 pm

Cahill is on loan until the end of the season, but then signing permanently

And as you don't want to sell Vidal, and are less convinced about Parker, we had best leave it.

by **Afro** Tue 09 Aug 2011, 8:15 am

Forgot that I also have Cardozo, who is on loan to Stoke atm (also Rodwell out on loan).

If you are after a striker, perhaps we could come to some deal for at the end of the season?

by **Afro** Tue 09 Aug 2011, 9:33 am

I was talking a swap deal and I paid £15m for Cardozo.

by **Afro** Tue 09 Aug 2011, 9:44 am

I'll leave it then thanks.

Was just an after thought.

by **Afro** Tue 09 Aug 2011, 9:51 am

Was hoping for something involving either Vidal or Hazard, but forgot you had signed Amauri.

No worries.

by FIFA Diva Tue 09 Aug 2011, 9:53 am

Do you want Jermaine Pennant?

by FIFA Diva Tue 09 Aug 2011, 3:18 pm

Sorry I didn't see your message.

I can't lose Young as he is my most important player.

You intrested in Jermaine Pennant, looking at your team you lack wingers and Pennant is a better option then Tosic out wide. £2m what do you say?

by nick_fury Wed 10 Aug 2011, 10:32 am

Ben Arfa + 10m would not tempt me. I would prefer straight cash and a lot lol

by nick_fury Wed 10 Aug 2011, 10:53 am

Come on mate, this is Gareth Bale, in demand over prices Welshman, im looking £35 ish give or take

by nick_fury Wed 10 Aug 2011, 11:06 am

I understand you need assurences. £25m is below what I want. Im been greedy with him TBH but hey ho, if someone really want him they will pay

by nick_fury Wed 10 Aug 2011, 11:47 am

17.5m + Ben Arfa

Sorry mate, really want straight up cash so I can make purchases

by andy_14clark Wed 10 Aug 2011, 11:50 am

Anything for Bonucci or Vidal? Got abit of cash + P/X

by **Afro** Thu 11 Aug 2011, 12:34 pm

Parker + £4m = Vidal?

by **Afro** Thu 11 Aug 2011, 4:50 pm

Or Parker + Lugano + £5.75m = Vidal + Bonucci

by smartestgooner Thu 11 Aug 2011, 5:02 pm

Interested in Vidal, Bonucci and Hazard

by **Afro** Thu 11 Aug 2011, 5:04 pm

Me too

by **Afro** Thu 11 Aug 2011, 5:16 pm

Lugano + Parker + Turan + Johnson* + £5m/Rodwell/Biglia*

=

Bonucci + Vidal + Hazard

* this is taking over my Adam Johnson loan until the end of the season
* also one of either £5m, Rodwell next season when he is back from his loan or Lucas Biglia straight away.

by smartestgooner Thu 11 Aug 2011, 5:17 pm

Hazard < Mata
Vidal > Merieles
Bonnucci > Sakho
Cahill < Suarez

^ That deal isn't going to go anywhere. Suarez is a lot better than Cahill, I'm not sure Bonucci is better than Sakho and I would see how Vidal does in Serie A before thinking he is better than Merieles.
I would do Merieles + Podolski + £5M = Hazard + Vidal

by **Afro** Thu 11 Aug 2011, 5:26 pm

Not so bothered about Bonucci, but what's it going to take to get Vidal + Hazard?

by **Afro** Thu 11 Aug 2011, 5:31 pm

By my reckoning:

Vidal = £15m
Hazard = £20m
= £35m

Parker I conservatively value at £8m ( i actually value him at around £12m)

If I could raise £27m, would you take £27m + Parker?

by smartestgooner Thu 11 Aug 2011, 5:34 pm

I think we rate them differently. Both my players are proven at high levels, in the prem and on the international stage. Your players are youngsters with great potential and Hazard is a star in ligue 1 but when he is going to make the step up and will he be rated so highly when he does? He is staying in Ligue 1 for atleast another season. Vidal has a chance to prove himself with Juve now.

If your selling either for cash I have a fair chunk of it.

by **Afro** Thu 11 Aug 2011, 5:34 pm

I think that's highly unrealistic, so I will leave it.

by smartestgooner Thu 11 Aug 2011, 5:36 pm

I'll give you £23M + Raul Meireles = Hazard + Vidal.
Basically do you want Raul Meireles or Parker(playing in the championship)+£4M for them?

by smartestgooner Thu 11 Aug 2011, 5:37 pm

Actually I will do £25M + Huddleping for them. That is my offer.

by **Afro** Thu 11 Aug 2011, 5:37 pm

It's okay. Parker isn't an option anymore.

Plus also it sounds like Meireles will be no more than a bench player for Liverpool next year.

by **Afro** Thu 11 Aug 2011, 5:38 pm

* unless he gets a move away

by **Afro** Thu 11 Aug 2011, 5:41 pm

You do realise that you are going to raise all this money and then when it comes to the crunch of selling Bale, Nick will chicken out Laugh

by smartestgooner Thu 11 Aug 2011, 5:44 pm

If given the choice of playing Charlie Adam, Jordan Henderson, Jay Spearing or Raul Meireles I'm quietly confident Raul Meireles will get the knod in the long run lol. Wouldn't mind Arsenal signing him as a Fabregas replacement.

My offer is £27.5M + Huddlestone to go through on Monday(met you in the middle). But I want to confirm the deal today or tomorrow if possible but not going through until Monday....

by **Afro** Thu 11 Aug 2011, 5:46 pm

From pre-season though it seems that Dalglish wants rid of Meireles and Meireles wants out.

I still think Arsenal will move for Biglia to replace Fabregas.

by Tranquil Chaos Thu 11 Aug 2011, 5:50 pm

and as about the only liverpool fan on here, im more than confident meireles is only gonna get game when gerrard is injured (which means he will be a first team regular steam

) as i can see us going to our tried and trusted 4-2-3-1, and lucas and adam are easily the best fit for the deep 2 players

as smarts will be back on this page soon, ill just ask him here, has lucas gone abroad through the lawyers

by smartestgooner Thu 11 Aug 2011, 5:53 pm

Hey Tranqs, I believe so. We need Viva to get that list done a.s.a.p

Gerrard is injured start of season so you think Meireles will be a starter for you at the beginning of the season Tranq? Food for thought in my fantasy team.

Mouse - Huddleping + £27.5M enquiry then. If you agree the Bale signing from Spurs then we can push this through on Monday maybe?

I hope Arsenal dont move for Biglia I would prefer a player tried and tested in the EPL for a change!

by Tranquil Chaos Sun 14 Aug 2011, 4:30 pm

anything i can do for vidal or bonucci?

by Gregers Sun 14 Aug 2011, 5:03 pm

Interested in Srna. Any deal involving:

Flanagan + ? for Srna + ?
