Zaheer + Taylor for Gilchrist + Chawla?

by JDizzle Mon 29 Aug 2011, 11:47 pm

Kohli is definitely not leaving. Kaif can though. Make me an offer!

by Mad for Chelsea Mon 29 Aug 2011, 11:48 pm

nope sorry Liam, Gilchrist isn't available

by Mad for Chelsea Mon 29 Aug 2011, 11:51 pm

JDizzle

what are you looking for? Could offer you some young Indians (Kumar excepted), the guys who're on my "transfer list" or maybe Ryan Harris.

by Gregers Mon 29 Aug 2011, 11:54 pm

Welcome to the league mate :-)

by Liam_Main Mon 29 Aug 2011, 11:55 pm

Bhatia for Valhalty?

by Mad for Chelsea Mon 29 Aug 2011, 11:56 pm

nope Liam sorry, Valhaty is an important part of my explosive top 3

by JDizzle Mon 29 Aug 2011, 11:57 pm

Maybe Valthaty?

by JDizzle Mon 29 Aug 2011, 11:57 pm

Ahh, maybe not for Valthaty then!

by Mad for Chelsea Tue 30 Aug 2011, 12:00 am

edited to include the guys I'm keen to keep hold of Very Happy

by JDizzle Tue 30 Aug 2011, 12:01 am

I see you are looking for a spinner. Murali Karthik for Valthaty?

I am hoping a quality Indian spinner is spectacular!

by Mad for Chelsea Tue 30 Aug 2011, 12:10 am

Hmmm need to think about that one rather seriously, Karthik would indeed be a great addition to my squad. Tell you what, I'll agree to that if we can also find some agreement with Jesse Ryder, as otherwise my batting looks to be a bit weak...

by Liam_Main Tue 30 Aug 2011, 12:12 am

Ganguly for Valhalty?

by Mad for Chelsea Tue 30 Aug 2011, 12:13 am

no deal Liam, sorry

by JDizzle Tue 30 Aug 2011, 12:15 am

Jesse for Ryan Harris or Colly, aswell as Karthik for Valthaty?

by Liam_Main Tue 30 Aug 2011, 12:18 am

Worth a try, considering your after a middle-order batter

by Mad for Chelsea Tue 30 Aug 2011, 12:18 am

would like to keep Colly, but I''ll give you Harris, sure.

So Harris and Valthaty for Karthik and Ryder, right?

by JDizzle Tue 30 Aug 2011, 12:19 am

Yes. that sounds good to me. I will confirm it now!

by JDizzle Tue 30 Aug 2011, 12:49 am

Don't really want another spinner. Pace bowler would be preferable. Indian, pace bowler.

by JDizzle Tue 30 Aug 2011, 12:53 am

No thanks then!

by Mad for Chelsea Tue 30 Aug 2011, 12:55 am

yeah I figured that, but unless I want to go in with an all spin attack I need to keep Kumar! If you manage to get hold of Zaheer Khan will you reconsider?

by Liam_Main Tue 30 Aug 2011, 1:01 am

For Zaheer I would want Dinesh Karthik and Chawla?

by JDizzle Tue 30 Aug 2011, 1:02 am

Yeah, if I can pick up a good Indian seamer, I will get back to you. I have offers for Munaf on the go, so I will see if I can get him in the morning then get back to you.

by Liam_Main Tue 30 Aug 2011, 1:09 am

Gilchrist for Zaheer?

You'll then have a seamer to open with Kumar and with Karthik keeping you can bring in another overseas player into your line-up

by Mad for Chelsea Tue 30 Aug 2011, 1:26 am

yeah OK done

by JDizzle Tue 30 Aug 2011, 1:28 am

Zaheer + Miller = Kaif + Rahul Sharma

by Liam_Main Tue 30 Aug 2011, 1:33 am

Early morning deals going on

by JDizzle Tue 30 Aug 2011, 1:35 am

I know, I love being a student.

by JDizzle Tue 30 Aug 2011, 1:44 am

I would prefer not to sell Valthaty back to you if I could avoid it, so if there is anyone else you would prefer to him then say, but I will think about your original offer in the morning as I am off now! Have fun trading, and in the auction tomorrow! thumbsup

by Liam_Main Tue 30 Aug 2011, 1:57 am

Interested in Piyush Chawla

by Liam_Main Tue 30 Aug 2011, 2:07 am

No deal, sorry. Btw mate RTD is on Shankys player list also

by Liam_Main Tue 30 Aug 2011, 2:08 am

Could do Ganguly for Chawla?

by Guest Tue 30 Aug 2011, 11:22 am

by Mad for Chelsea Tue 30 Aug 2011, 11:24 am

by Mad for Chelsea Tue 30 Aug 2011, 11:30 am

by Gregers Tue 30 Aug 2011, 11:43 am

Anything for Praveen Kumar? Maybe one of my indian middle order batsmen...

Tirumalasetti Suman and Davy Jacobs?

by Mad for Chelsea Tue 30 Aug 2011, 11:51 am

Kumar's not really for sale, gregers.

by Gregers Tue 30 Aug 2011, 11:55 am

You want a middle order indian, i need a fast bowler :P

by Mad for Chelsea Tue 30 Aug 2011, 11:59 am

by Guest Tue 30 Aug 2011, 1:44 pm

lumb for ferguson?

by Mad for Chelsea Tue 30 Aug 2011, 1:48 pm

by Guest Tue 30 Aug 2011, 1:48 pm

thanks mate i will confirm it

by Mad for Chelsea Tue 30 Aug 2011, 4:40 pm

Today has seen Lumb and Ganguly arriving, to add some strength to the top order, while Chawla and Ferguson have left. The club is also bidding for exciting young English talent Jason Roy, who would add some welcome firepower to the lower middle-order.

by Guest Tue 30 Aug 2011, 5:42 pm
