TRANSFERS
Alex + Anelka + Malouda + Ramires + Ivanovic = Badstuber + Robben + Schwein + Rafinha
Gonalons + 15m = Mikel
Aguero + Di Miria = Mata + Drogba
Neymar = 20m
31m = Releases
Ranocchia + Cleverley + Contento = 9m
Handanovic = 5m
Chiellini + Vidal = Merieles + Luiz
Coutinho + Godin + Hulk = 13m

Although I'd buy Rafinha for 15 Million? Leaves you with 40 Million for foreigns tomorrow

Luiz + Schwein + Essien + Aguero
=
Calvalho + Busquets + Xavi + Iniesta
------------------------
Luiz=<Carvalho
Schwein>Busquets
Essien<Xavi
Aguero<Iniesta

No deal mate

All your targets went for loads so I managed to get you Neymar for £20m

Valencia = Lampard?

You need a winger for your bench.

Just saw your message now.

What offer was you thinking about?

Fletcher + Afellay
for
Meireles + Lampard

Fletcher >
Afellay <

I could possibly add Rio for Luiz to the above.

Schwein + Rafinha
=
Busquets?

Jones/Smalling + Mexes + Eto'o + Milner + Anderson + ??
=
Bosingwa/Rafinha + Luiz + Neymar + Schwein + Lampard + ??

Three gains to me, two to you. Something to even it out like Bastos for Kalou?

What can you offer then mate?

Schwein + Neymar + Luiz + Rafinha
=
Anderson + Eto'o + Mexes + Smalling/Jones

Also, tell me what you'd think of that offer if Ando and Eto'o were replaced by Parker and VDV, because if you prefer that then I can do that, too

Busquets + Xavi + Iniesta + ?
=
Schwein + Essien + Aguero + ?
--------------------------------------
I dont have Busquets anymore (thank god)
I may change Xavi and Iniesta but need more of an incentive as they are the best 2 around

Rafinha + Neymar
=
Simao?

Leaves you with Simao and Lampard on the bench to improve your first team

Aguero + Schwein' + Terry
=
Iniesta + Xavi + Pepe
-----------------------------------
Honestly speaking, I rate all of my players higher even though not by much

Done a top job with the first team but bench needs a little more work too

Puyol + Yaya
=
Terry + Essien

Enquiry only

I'd say it was the other way round on here, any chance of Rafinha then?

Never gonna happen pal

Rio + Rafael + Gourcuff
for
Luiz + Rafinha + Lampard

Let me klnow asap mate.

It's what i'd need. You pretty much complete your side, change your defence for the better, and still get 2 rated players on your bench. Don't see a lot between either RB or AM really, but enough to get me to deal on it.

Sorry bud, no can do. Decent enquiry but it mucks up my formation so not too keen at this stage.

I would consider

Rooney + Lucho
for
Torres + Lampard

Nani + ?
=
Robben + ?

Dont want Luiz!

Robben is better than Nani by a really thin margin. Ronaldo is >> Di Maria. Do you think im stupid? lol

Would you do Chilleni + Krasic for Luiz + Robben?

Sorry mate see that as 2 losses for me couldnt do that

Would consider Rafinha and Anyukov equal so no gain while Lampard's days are pretty much done now that hes behind Mceachran at Chelsea so thats a loss for me.

Rio + Gourcuff + Motta
for
Luiz + Lampard + Merieles

Is something I may consider.

Although, thinking about it, what do you make of:

Tevez + Nasri + Rio + Rafael + Gourcuff
for
Di Maria + Robben + Luiz + Rafinha + Lampard

-----------------Cech------------------
---------------------------------------
------------Terry----Ferdinand---------
Bosingwa------------------------A.Cole
-----------Essien-----Schwein'---------
----------------S.Nasri----------------
-------Aguero-------------Tevez-------
----------------Torres-----------------

More of an enquiry for now.

Would do Chilleni and Vidal for Luiz and Merilles

I prefer Pepe slightly over Chiellini but maybe thats just me.

Rate Iniesta>Aguero

Ill take Yaya and Nani as 'weaknesses' then.

What for Lampard?

Essien + Cech + Aguero
=
De Rossi + Valdes + Iniesta
------------------------------
Not interested in letting Iniesta go mate
sorry

Your right about that but your first team is really solid so I don't think anyone should mark you down for that.

Chiellini + Rafinha + Neymar
for
Pepe + Adriano + Podolski

I really want to bring in someone big from the Barca team that's never been done before if I'm honest
----------------------------
Adriano

I may consider....
Xavi + Podolski + Adriano
for
Schweinstiger + Lampard + Rafinha

Xavi + Podolski + Adriano
for
Schweinstiger + Lampard + Rafinha

hmm, could I get Lassana if I'm losing Lampard?.
----------------------
Lass not to be included as he is my only DM cover

I'd settle on
Rafinha + Schwein
=
Adriano + Xavi
-----------------------
I want Lampard in there two mate
Xavi is THE best CM currently so not gonna go cheaply

No worries pal.
You shop

Any interest in
Podolski + Hulk
=
Carrick + Berbatov

Pending another deal?
--------------------------

Hmm. Not sure. I like Pod but would be losing my main striker back up.

Podolski + Lampard
=
Carrick + Berbatov

would be much more appealing.

OK. So why the need for Berba?

Rafinha + Lampard
=
Cicinho + Busquets?

I'd say you'll need to use Essien or Alonso to get Xavi, this deal would provide you with a world class DM as cover

Is there any way I can get Rafinha then?

Podolski + Hulk
=
Adebayor + Parker

Could you make Hulk Neymar? I'd probably deal then..

Don't know why I said Alonso, meant Schwein lol

Not sure what attraction Rafinha will have to Barca but yeah fair enough, let me know

Xavi + Podolski + Adriano + Iniesta
for
Schweinstiger + Lampard + Rafinha + Aguero
---------------------
Losing Xavi would be hard enough but both, no way.

Torres + Terry + Neymar
=
Higuain + Puyol + Muller

-----

Tate my 3 higher tbh pal

Rafinha + Di Maria = De Silvestri + Bale ?

Sorry mate but Busquets is gone, not sure I would have done that anyway

If you don't do that deal involving Rafinha let me know if we can do something for him
