MegaGimp is trying to swindle me now.

10M OFFER FROM WHO
I ONLY HAVE 10M SO I WILL DO EITHER 7M 4 SHAWCROSS OR I WILL PURSUE REUS I ONLY HAVE THE CASH TO SIGN ONE OR THE OTHER

So I sell Shawcross to him for £3m less then another offer I have or he will persure Reus.

Thats a big phat steamy cowpat. TBF it make no difference as he cant outbid me. But its the principal.

Smarts, Afro sort this out of I will start looting players and rioting.

by **Afro** Wed 10 Aug 2011, 4:13 pm

Funniest thing is Pineapple's post doesn't make sense if he was trying to get Nick to accept a lower offer.

I don't think he has put it very well, but I don't have a problem with clubs stating that they will drop interest in a player as part of negotiation for another. Happens all the time IRL.

Personally, I would let him buy Reus for £10m. There are much better young players out there, who will cost less.

by smartestgooner Wed 10 Aug 2011, 4:29 pm

Nick please reply on TPs

by smartestgooner Wed 10 Aug 2011, 4:29 pm

An Afro please let me know what other players there are? I had my eye on Reus to but didn't want a bidding war but I want some new young talent.

Also do you think there should be some squad limits introduced? Some of the squads are getting rather large now.

by smartestgooner Wed 10 Aug 2011, 4:31 pm

Tottenham have 31 players I only have 25. More likely one of my key players will get injured. Or alternatively I'm going to fill my team up with a bunch of cheap poopie players to lower the chance of key players getting injured.

by Trebs Wed 10 Aug 2011, 4:32 pm

if you introduce squad limits, then i think you have to let managers 'release' players who are over at regular price.

by **Afro** Wed 10 Aug 2011, 4:33 pm

Not sure Smarts because with the cup and also possible European games the squad will be needed.

Also any particular positions for the young players?

by smartestgooner Wed 10 Aug 2011, 4:35 pm

Think that will lead to the big clubs stockpiling the best players to be honest

by smartestgooner Wed 10 Aug 2011, 4:36 pm

Well if there is no squad limits I have a load of cash so might as well blow it on the best young talent in the hope they turn out to be superstars lol wish I bought Oxlaide when I had the chance.

Think Lukaku will do well for Chelsea this season?

by nick_fury Wed 10 Aug 2011, 4:40 pm

Reus is good, hes like Thomas Muller who im a big fan of.

Yeah it happens but its like

Man City saying to Man United, you sell us Rooney for £10m instead of Barca who want to pay £50 or we will go buy Sneijder for £60m

by **Afro** Wed 10 Aug 2011, 4:42 pm

Anyone elsegot an opinion on squad limits?

by PINEAPPLEHEAD Wed 10 Aug 2011, 4:47 pm

I HAVE 25 IN MY SQUAD TO

by nick_fury Wed 10 Aug 2011, 4:48 pm

Think Lukaku will do well for Chelsea this season? - nope. yes he has a good record but he is from a league poorer than the scottish prem. Hes young, will take time to ajust and adapt. never played in an enviroment like the Premiership

by PINEAPPLEHEAD Wed 10 Aug 2011, 4:48 pm

NICK MY SHAWCROSS BID

And United just say "Flip off", rather than complaining to the FA

by nick_fury Wed 10 Aug 2011, 4:55 pm

MegaGimp, I an not going to sell Shawcross for £2m less then another offer. Sorry but feel free to try outbid me on Reus, as you wont muhahahaha

by nick_fury Wed 10 Aug 2011, 5:02 pm

Im gone. tomorrow lads

by PINEAPPLEHEAD Wed 10 Aug 2011, 5:02 pm

IM NOT GOING TO OUTBID U ON REUS HE IS NOT WORTH 9M SO U CAN HAVE HIM BUT I DONT SEE U HAVING ANOTHA OFFER 4 SHAWCROSS AN 8M IS A GUD OFFER

by smartestgooner Wed 10 Aug 2011, 5:06 pm

I have never seen Reus play in my life. Don't know what position he plays or where he plays but it's a risk for a player who might be playing in the Bundesliga 2 next season. I bidded for him twice before but would never agree to meet the £6M fee quoted.

by **Afro** Wed 10 Aug 2011, 5:11 pm

He has been linked with big clubs for a while, but nothing has materialised yet.

Decent enough, plays on the right, but can also play central and left to a lesser effect.

He's too old to qualify as U21 in the cup, so £9m seems a bit steep to me.

As I said before, there are other young players, who do qualify as U21, and woudl be cheaper.

Morning.

http://www.goal.com/en/match/64651/germany-vs-brazil/report
BOOM Gotze reppin Spurs (in this world anyway)

http://www.goal.com/en/match/64658/portugal-vs-luxembourg/report
Double BOOM

My boys are reppin!!

by FIFA Diva Thu 11 Aug 2011, 9:35 am

Morning.

Your boys need to be reppin Spurs, they hardly get a game for you. I may put in a cheeky bid for Gotze, maybe rattle the Spurs boat. He ain't getting first team at Spurs he will at Stoke.

by nick_fury Thu 11 Aug 2011, 10:08 am

He played the last match Viva. Gotze is breaking through. just needed managers in this league to Recognize!!! his talent and quality before playing him. If no manager rates the player then you wont get anything for playing him.

by FIFA Diva Thu 11 Aug 2011, 10:15 am

Even Bebe got a match for Man Utd but we wouldn't class him as first team, I think you need to give him to me on loan, will start games and you get an indication of his ratings. What do you say? You benefit, I benefit your mum benefits.

by andy_14clark Thu 11 Aug 2011, 10:21 am

I think i may struggle this week. I dont think many of you rate Carlton Cole and despite having a good pre-season none of you will rate Ji Dong-Won.

Got to make the decision of who to go with as it'll make no difference who goes up front. Time for me to try and become a genius at tactics as ill need to be laughing

Good luck this week smarts Ok!

by smartestgooner Thu 11 Aug 2011, 10:27 am

Am I playing you this week Andy?

by andy_14clark Thu 11 Aug 2011, 10:31 am

Yea gameweek 6 Everton v Blackburn Ok!

You caught me on a good week with Gyan injured Sad

But my team will not lie down without a fight.

by smartestgooner Thu 11 Aug 2011, 10:36 am

My Everton team go into every game like it's a cup final Andy. We dont underestimate any team as we have seen how tough the league is just scraping a win over Stoke last week and being held for a draw by Aston Villa recently.

by FIFA Diva Thu 11 Aug 2011, 10:46 am

Stoke are better then Blackburn but all the gays in this league like to vote for thier boyfriends over the better tactics and manager.

by **Afro** Thu 11 Aug 2011, 11:29 am

Let me know when it has all calmed down on the TP page.

You wouldn't believe that this is a game that is supposed to be enjoyable.

by FIFA Diva Thu 11 Aug 2011, 11:31 am

I won't be getting in my tactics on Friday because I can't be bothered, I'll do them when I feel like it. It don't say on the rule page I have to post them by a certain time.

by smartestgooner Thu 11 Aug 2011, 11:33 am

From now on I will be calculating results, but as there is nothing on the rule page I will toss a coin to decide who wins lol

by FIFA Diva Thu 11 Aug 2011, 11:42 am

From now on I will be playing 15 players on match day, as there is nothing on the rule page I am allowed to do it lol

From now on I will be signing Messi and Ronaldo, as there is nothing on the rule page saying I can't snatch them lol

From now on I will be signing players for £1m from my rivals, as there is nothing on the rule page saying I cant lol

From now on I will bedoing my prediction AFTER results, as there is nothing on the rule page saying I have to do them before.

by smartestgooner Thu 11 Aug 2011, 11:53 am

Tottenham v Everton called off due to the riots.
How many matches will follow that do you think?

by Trebs Thu 11 Aug 2011, 11:56 am

I was half expecting them to postpone the whole weekend tbh. Manchester was quiet last night, don't know how it was in other cities.

by nick_fury Thu 11 Aug 2011, 11:58 am

Wolves was quiet yday.

Id expect the london games will be called off.

Anybody agree with bernie ecclestone saying calling matches off send the wrong signal out.

Do any other league have "beef" like we do? lol. Think its because we have so many good managers with characters.

I got a quality idea for a league but it just a bit to complex to put together. Wanna hear it???

by smartestgooner Thu 11 Aug 2011, 11:58 am

Cardiff has been quiet. Somebody smashed the window of JD sports in Cardiff bay and 2 people got arrested last night for calling for a riot through facebook. That has been it lol

by FIFA Diva Thu 11 Aug 2011, 12:23 pm

lol

Thats it? I'm suprised nothing has happend in Bradford or parts of Yorkshire.

On the BBC Wales website it mentioned the smasked window and that there were a couple of fires started in disused buildings in Butetown and Canton. Do they not realise that fires start in these places on an almost weekly basis without needing to blame the riots

by FIFA Diva Thu 11 Aug 2011, 12:57 pm

I'm so thirsty, I could even drink London water. lol

by smartestgooner Thu 11 Aug 2011, 1:06 pm

Nah Viva nobody can drink London water lol. Welsh Water is the cleanest I have seen so far. I'm quite thirsty today too but al hamdulilah.

by **Afro** Thu 11 Aug 2011, 1:06 pm

Let's hear the idea Nick.

by FIFA Diva Thu 11 Aug 2011, 1:09 pm

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No, we are truely a unique league. I have never seen a league like ours, we swear and fight with each other but the next day we're all friends. Other leagues would finish and can't last like ours. I think it's the core managers who get on with each other makes it easier. Have you noticed how us lot talk about everything and anything wheras other leagues just talk about Football or thier own league.

What about the time after GAL when we just kept failing making leagues it was our chrachter that kept us going. An the managers on here are great guys. WE GOT THE BEST LEAGUE IN THE WORLD!!!!!

Saying that I still wanna blast your sister Nick

Whats the plan you have for a new league?

by smartestgooner Thu 11 Aug 2011, 1:10 pm

How is Dede considered one of the best CB's in Brazil, I only heard of him yesterday afternoon lol.

Did he play against Germany in the friendly?

by Trebs Thu 11 Aug 2011, 1:13 pm

I never drink tap water in Manchester, I buy the cheap water from Asda lol.

by **Afro** Thu 11 Aug 2011, 1:14 pm

Going purely on his wikipedia page

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ded%C3%A9

In October 2010, the buy-out clause was exercised, and subsequently Dedé and Vasco da Gama signed an agreement until the end of 2014. In the same year, Dedé won the award of best right centre back in Brasileirão. In 2011, formed a rock solid duo with Anderson Martins that won the 2011 Copa do Brasil, with both players being elected the best central defenders of the 2011 Campeonato Carioca

Currently, Dedé is considered one of the best centre backs in activity in Brazil and one of the greats revelations in Brazilian football, with great acclaim from critics and fans. With great performances and the big identification with the Vasco da Gama's fans, Dedé won the fans the nickname "O Mito" ("The Myth") and "Dedéckenbauer". Dedé has become one of the great idols of the Vasco da Gama in the 21st Century, turning up the campaign poster boy "Marco1924" (promotional clock that celebrates the victory of Vasco da Gama against racism in football), along with Fernando Prass.[1][2][3][4]

by FIFA Diva Thu 11 Aug 2011, 1:17 pm

You better of drinking tap water then Asda water.

by smartestgooner Thu 11 Aug 2011, 1:23 pm

That is clearly written by a Vasco fan! lol

Nick you need to find the funds to complete the Reus deal by the close of play today. Otherwise one of your players of Afros choice will be auctioned to fund the deal. I don't mean to worry you but I heard rumours the player in question would be Rafael Van Der Faart!

by **Afro** Thu 11 Aug 2011, 1:26 pm

I hear Bale is pushing for a move to a big team and he is fed up with being priced out of his dream moves by his manager!!!

by smartestgooner Thu 11 Aug 2011, 1:27 pm

^^^ Lol Shall we start the bidding at £1M

I think I will bring in a new rule in TPs that you cannot bid unless you have the cash already in place.
