what for Abate ?

7m?

no Eriksen is not leaving.

did not know that so sorry hero mate.

would you deal on 9m? for abate? if not ill raise some funds.
i cant give too much money

as im still waiting on the lamps deal.

but his my ex player and wants to return home.

£3m for Bertrand

I have confirmed it

Perrari + 3m = Cole ENQ

Abate + Diego Alves
=
20m

Or if you want some p/ex.

Abate + Alves
=
De Silvestri + Ahamada/Baumann + 8m

Both ENQs

Any counter offer, or just 'no' altogether?

Abate + Diego Alves
=
Cabaye

OR

Abate + Alves + 10m
=
De Silvestri + Ahamada/Baumann + Cabaye

BOTH ENQUIRIES

Kevin Strootman £15m?

ENQ.

Interesting. Don't need the cash at the moment and I am a big fan, but I may accept it if I need the readies. Plus, just noticed I can't sell as I would be below 16 players.

No deal...for now.

Nah I will wait thanks. Doesn't look like I am getting Reus, so he is even more important to me now

Again, very good offer. But I think I will pass. Might bite me on the bum if Strootman has a mare of a championship, but I think he is worth holding onto

Haha you took your time.

Let me have a breather and decide what I need. Waiting for Bull to come online as well. But I am not going to sell him until I have players in place.

I won't sell him without letting you know though. Strootman is going to be huge.

True but AC Milan will have him. I have a wealth of riches in that area at the moment.

Give me a little more time. I know you said 18m, but if I get the players I want for less, you can have him for less. Nice guy I am

Vidal NFS

I'm interested in Carzorla, Hummels and Cisse.

Lets blow hard

Garcia was voted joint best DM in the league so I wouldn't want to lose him, not fussed if he don't join a big team as he is clearly rated playing at Benfica.

If I am to lose a top player I would want another top player in another position.

Vertonghen plus £10m for Hummels?

Mario Gotze = Strootman + 8M

ENQ

Mario Gotze = Vidal + 5M

ENQ

Mario Gotze
£35.5M
ENQ

Can you get back to me on these offers please?


Abate + Diego Alves
=
Cabaye

OR

Abate + Alves + 10m
=
De Silvestri + Ahamada/Baumann + Cabaye

I'll try it again...

£35.5M offer for Mario Gotze to leave his beloved Athletic Bilbao Baggins and move to AC ALSOAM

No amount of cash would get me Gotze? Even in the £30m bracket? I can beat Marky's bid but need a figure

Sorry no deal, was offering you that offer as its the equivalent to the Motta and Garcia and see what you'd say. Same as me don't want to lose best players.

I'm reluctant to let the ginger magician leave, I'm short on defenders (I know his TM value is low) so it'd have to recognise that...

Gotze is just not leaving at all guys.

100m for Gotze

Spoiler:

Yeah I have to keep him. I am interested in Gotze as you know, and that's it.

I am prepared to offer you Vidal + 8m for him, but that's as far as I can go. Or I can get the money and go to something like £30m for Gotze. Maybe a bit higher.

But.....either way it is Gotze I want. No one else

I reckon I can do £38M for Gotze

Yeah totally understand what you are saying. Really wanted a German CAM. Tried Kroos, Ozil and Gotze. It would have just fitted so well.

Looks like I will have to go for a CAM of another country now

You know very well that Garcia is worth more then £10m you lot don't understand that those prices are real life we are not playing realistic league here and even if we were Garcia price would be more then £10m. Huntelaar was worth £18m on TM but would anyone sell him for around that much. No

Mighty you wouldn't sell Rami for £15m why? Because he is important to your side even if he is not worth more on TM so the same applies for me. I don't want to sell my best players you need to look at it both ways.

Garcia was voted top 2 DM in the league he is rated highly and it backfired on you when you said Mighty offered me £10m I'm not a new manager I know how these games are played it might work on the less experienced ones but not me.

Can I run the cup next season?

My team is doing good finished 4th without anyone doing a deal with me.

Ok tell me honestly where am I improving if I swap Motta for Garcia? Yes I'm getting £10m but what is that going to get me who can I buy to improve me elsewhere? Peope won't sell me players for money and I won't be able to get good players with the budget I have in TM. Money is not worth much on these leagues otherwise you'd have spent the money yourself on a good DM.

How much for David?

The world record for most left backs in a squad is going well I see...

No offers to make, just here for snarky comments.

I'm doing well there aren't I! Might release Oviedo into the wild if it carries on.

I'd rather play Valbuena, Menez or Bastos as my wingers then have Motta as my DM, I feel I would be weaker if I do the deal with you.

If you want Garcia I want Hummels I'm not going to lose one of my top players because you're good brainwashing people

is Hero the new Rafa, always buying fullbacks yet he dont need them?

No offers to make, just here for snarky comments.

I did want to do a deal involving M'Vila for De Gea but you've swapped him now so there's no-one I want sorry. I have enough cash for my Star Player bid so I don't need pennies either.

M'vila for De Gea was never going to happen. m'vila for another midfielded happened as I dont have to spend monies on replacing a player in a position.

And you might not have enough cash for your star player, you never know...

I have my lawyer offers to still accept if I want so I have plenty of cash to put forward for my Star Player and the one I mentioned to you there is no chance you would offer double his cost to beat me.

If I buy them all I have a monoply on them thus can inflate the market price. That's my masterplan honest.

Love your mind games Hero but they not working.

If you're saying that Garcia won't get ratings because he is not playing this Summer why do you want him? makes no sense at all and I doubt it's because you want to help me. Some of your players won't be going to the Euros I guess they'll just be awful.

No deal, it will be very hard to replace Toulalan and I'm already covered at LB.

I'm not keen on you trying to force your Fuchs on me. I don't give a Fuchs and I don't want you to Fuchs me.

What would you be looking for to tempt you selling Piazon?

Sorry I really don't want to let Ganso go

No deal sorry.

Sorry Hero.

Don't suppose you want to sign Pablo Armero from me do you? You're light on left backs
