Now I do.

Schurrle you can't be serious!

Oh but I am.

Lucas Piazon, Wilson Palacios and £8M for him?

I can't see you have the cash for this?

I had the cash when I made the offer, and I have the cash now. Any chance of this deal?

Ivanovic for VDW?.

No thanks, VDW was getting no love on here so I am glad I got rid of him to you.

dont forget i have first refusal on Abate.

Abate and Alex?.

I am a bit top heavy with defenders and Ivanovic is going to be a starter for me. I am happy with my FB's.

So unless you are going to offer midfielders or strikers, I doubt we will get very far

How about ANY two players from...

Palacios, Ramsey, Coutinho, Piazon, Ronaldinho?

Can't say fairer than that!.

That is very fair, but picking any two players is only slightly more than what Ivanovic is worth. So I will only be taking them in the hope of a good lawyers.

I have been racking my brains trying to come up with a counter deal but I can't really come up with one. To be honest, if you can raise the cash, I would much prefer a cash offer rather than a swap.

Adebayor + Ivanovic = Gotze + Cisse

NO ENQ

Oh and no to the 3M

Cool no worries.

Damn your eyes.

£25m for Thiago?.

Great minds think alike.

No thanks, players left are a bit thin on the ground now. Can't be assed to look for a replacement, and I have had Thiago in my mind for quite a while now.

25m and Ronaldinho?.

Again, no thanks.

I don't see anything that I'd want more than him to be honest, I want my German-speaking midfield pairing together.

I'm rather well stocked with wingers and full backs to be honest, so that's a non-starter.

Ozil is a star player, so I would need at least a star player back, but to be honest I want to hold on to him more than I want Gotze or others.

Neven Subotic + Mats Hummels
FOR
Yann M'Vila + Godin

ENQ

15m and Motta I feel is an excellent offer for M'Vila.

Not too keen on Motta mate

You're essentially offering me £30m worth for 1 player, I see. Such a shame it's my best player. It's a fantastic offer but I can't replace Martinez. Yes I get Motta but he's not really a replacement in terms of what Javi brings to the team. Very regretfully, I have to decline.

no ty need to keep my goalscorer and id have money but not be able to buy anyone as good as him

Coates + Ramsey = Alderweireld
Enq

ok how about just Coates for Alderweireld?

Coates, Coutinho and Ramsey I see are available. What do you want for them?

Not sure what you'd offer, would need something incredible for Vidal though.

On the other two, what about:

Strootman + Mertens
=
Motta + Cazorla

I want Cazorla tbh, know he's rated and unsure Coutinho is.

Also not sure who I could get in foreigns to replace Vidal, so don't know about the 30m.

Mertens I know of and he's been getting goals and assists from what I've seen. Strootman has been linked to United so I would be reluctant to sell.

Mertens + ?
=
Cazorla

What could we do from there? Wouldn't include Vidal unless you included Gotze.

Wouldn't do that, but what would you do if I added Vidal?

Mertens + Vidal
=
Cazorla + ?

I'd need something better, was expected you to offer me a better player.

What about Großkreutz somewhere? Works well with Gotze.

Are you still trying to get rid of some of your midfielders? Motta/Ramsey etc?

What is the lowest you will go to? I want to beef mine up a bit but I need to do the sums first.

Well only player I would offer in a swap is Dunne. I can raise 5M

Barca B's Martin Montoya and £5M for Ignazio Abate?

Based on this offer:
VDW + Alex + Cazorla + 10m
For
Vidal + Mertens + Strootman

Would you do:
Vidal + Strootman + Mertens
=
Cazorla + Motta + Abate + 10m

Replaced Alex with Motta as I need a CM not a CB should I lose Vidal, and swapped Van Der Weil with Abate.

ENQ Though

Dont want Alex. Dont want Ramsey. Only player of yours I want is De Gea.
Ses, £15m isnt bad, can you stretch to £17.5m?

15m is my max, he's only going to be Gotze's back up so I'm not fussed either way.

Your payin £15m for a Gotze backup.....yeah ok.

£15m is below what I require so no deal mate.

Strootman + Mertens + Guidetti + Baumann
=
Motta + Cazorla + Piazon + Alves

Something like that?

23m and Alex for Kroos?

Hey sorry it's taken me so long to reply to your offer. Thank you for offering, I am interested in selling him but there is a lot of interest for Kroos so I'm going to see what other people are willing to offer before I do think about selling him.

Anything possible for Abate?

are you still up for this deal?

I'm interested in Cisse, Carzorla and Gotze.

Yep do you want to confirm it?

What for Kroos cuzza?

Lescott plus Hamsik

Kross plus Coates

ENQ

Aaron Ramsey = 5.5m

enq

Toni Kroos. I would like to sign him please.

Willing to offer:

Erik Lamela, Granit Xhaka and £4.75M
ENQ

Do you wanna do Coates for Alderweireld?
Enq

If the bet is on I think I'll take Kroos or Hummels not sure yet.

what u want for donkeydinho

No way

I'm sorry Hero but I'm gonna have to release him. I need the money

Took me ages to get him mate.

May well be open for deals but my head is mush after all that. Feel free, as always, to offer stuff.

As you can imagine, it will take a lot. You should have seen the amount of people that wanted him. I think I did great out of that deal tbh.

I would like David De Gea but I have a Man United keeper. I want Carrick and Scholes lol.

M'villa is up for grabs if you like.

I'd consider M'Vila for De Gea possibly, let me think on it.

I wont. Im losing out there. £3/4m or something going on TM. + I have a Man United keeper already, M'villa will be harder to replace and has more impact in match from the earlier conversation.

What are you going to offer?

Are you still interested in Thiago?.......I am up for a 2-1 swap for him.
