What do you want for Cazorla?

No worries mate

I'll do you 12m and Motta and Bryan Oviedo (rumoured Utd target to back up Evra) for M'Vila and Pogba?

Nah mate.
1. Motta I not a hugh Fan of.
2. Bryan Oviedo is a rumoured target of Man United. He plays in the Danish Superliga so no one will rate him. Heck M'villa plays int he French League and Twist thinks hes poo so no way im taking a Danish league player.

How about instead then 28m & Oviedo for M'Vila & Pogba.
(Motta has a lawyer offer on him for 16m so I can just cash in there)

The cash is nice. I dont want Oviedo though

You can Oviedo free as part of it then? Just send him out cleaning boots etc.

lol but then he take up room in my 25 man squad lol

Can't give players away nowadays lol!
Can't believe we're arguing over me wanting you to have a player and you not wanting them, do you want just the cash then?

strange yeah lol.
Let me have a scout round TP's, if I can think/find a good DM to buy then we should be on.

Neven Subotic = £18m

ENQ

Neven Subotic = £21m

Final offer.

With that money, you can add a few mill and get Badstuber off Marky, and have a German internation back line...rather than just a Dortmund one.

Oh can he?

Marky wrote:Oh can he?

Yeah he can. You would not accept 21m from me.....would something like 28m be hard to turn down?

That's not the point. You told Treble that touting your players in deals was disrespectful, but you can tout mine?

No worries....was after a Serbian CB pairing

Marky wrote:That's not the point. You told Treble that touting your players in deals was disrespectful, but you can tout mine?

It was hypothetical. Trebles actually made you an offer using one of my players. Saying that Badstuber could be available for 21m plus....is just like saying Motta could be available for 17m or M'Vila could be available for 19m. I don't know that for certain, and Hero would have still had to have asked you.

Point is I was giving him cash to do it, not him using another player (that wasn't his yet) to get what he wanted.

Its just the principle Twist, Treble's offer may have been hypothetical too.

Either way, the Big Badstuber is unavailable.

I've got a lawyers for 7m for Fuchs, I'd need a replacement left back so either Ashley Cole (which I can't see you offering) or a good chunk of cash to get a replacement in foreigns.

Scout me a left back from foreigns then?

Found one but I want 10m for Fuchs

I have Riise. Lawyers offer was 7m...beat it and he is yours

9m? As you will be in my league next season

I wondered when you'd coming sniffing around Schmelzer. He's injured this week.

No need to be sorry mate. You asked for any LB's going, and I just gave you the option

If you want to spend £12M on a left back, I can offer Pablo Armero. If not, i'll keep my two LB's as i've gone for the strength in depth approach.

Or you can loan Armero for the last 3 weeks of the season (Semi finals, last league game, cup final) for £2M.

Fuchs - 9m
is a deal, please can you confirm it

Hero, im selling Pogba for £4m unless you want him for £4.5m.

Let me kno asap plz thanks

Alba not for sale

Sorry

I'd be letting Xhaka go as he is surplus to requirements. Ramsey would also be surplus to requirements.

I'd be looking at strengthening my RB or CF cover. Maybe we can do a deal for Xhaka along those lines?

Ronaldinho and Van Der Wiel
for
Montoya and Xhaka
ENQ

I'd take Ronaldinho and £2M for Xhaka, no interest in 2 players for 1 as i'm already at my limit.

Cool, will confirm it.

Luis Suarez for Cisse?

Tbh id rather get cash for Suarez and not sure why ud want to let Cisse go with his form anyway

He's in form at present so I'd consider cashing him in whilst he's such hot property, like shares, sell them whilst they're high, buy them whilst they're low.

Be interested to see if newcastle did that over the summer if someone like chelsea offered them 30m i think ill prbs put Suarez up for a lawyers offer at the end of the season tbh

are you sure there is no chance for papiss cisse?

what to get Subotic ?

whats it going to take>?

anyone apart from him?

as you know he cant leave ever.

So you would be wanting around 24m for Cisse then?

Pretty please hero>??

How much would you be looking for Bas Dost?

£25M for Toni Kroos
ENQ

(That money would come in handy ahead of the Star Player dont'cha think?)

Actually i've calculated his lawyers fee to be £24M.

I like Kroos and I have some Bayern players but if you're going to price me out of the market i'll look elsewhere. Or, my £25M offer remains.

£26M for Kroos and the deal to not go through until after the Cherry Cup final.

Deal.

When you handing in tactics?

Sometime tomorrow, won't be able to post them tomorrow night as I'm out for the evening.

Alright, i'll post mine in a bit.

You wouldn't read my tactics, you'd play fair, right

Feel free to ask any of my past opponents on if they believe I've read their tactics prior to me posting mine.

I read previous weeks and I check injuries to note patterns and try to preempt tactics but I don't read this weeks.

Hero, it's fine, I trust you

Mario Götze = Lamela + Ivanovic

Would you consider upping the cash to £30m?

Abate and Van Der Weil intrested.
