Sorry bud but not interested. Think I lose out too much tbh.

I am light in midfield but not going to sell players cheaply as a result. Richards and Dempsey don't hold anywhere near the rating that Lahm does. Sorry.

Not selling my best CB mate

Not much in Mata and Silva to be honest

Aguero + Silva + De Jong + Nasri + Milner
for
Mata + RVP + Rosicky + Pedro + Thiago

No thanks mate, don't want to split up my germans

There is loads in Mata and Silva. Where was Mata a few days ago? Benched. Where was Silva? Setting up Cesc's goal.
-----------------------------------
Strongly disagree with that mate.

A few days ago Pirlo was pulling the strings over Xavi and Busquets so suddenly he is better then both?

Hard to pick a starting line-up in Spain with the quality they have and also Villa and Puyol injured

Lahm + Khedira + Badstuber
For
Silva + De Jong + Kompany + Zabaleta

May consider

Looks like my rant gave you inspiration for Pirlo

Touche

Forget the CB bit then.

Lahm + Khedira
For
Silva + De Jong + Zabaleta

He is.

Good spot.
I thought he would have been snapped up already

I feel the same way about Lahm. Deal.

I'll leave off Pirlo as well. I could outbid you but don't like pinching other peoples spots.

Yeah, can you confirm it please. I'm on my phone and it is a pain. Ra.

Hello mate, just looking at budgets.

You can have £9 mil for Milner. Please make sure you confirm ALL transfers on the confirmation page as it helps me out.

I make your budget £3.5 mil

Liverpool offer £6 mil for Costel Pantilimon

Please accept/reject on the transfer confirmation page by Tuesday 19th June 11pm.

Khedira available?

Why have you rejected the foreign offer without even looking at it? £6 mil for a dump keeper, who you could replace for £1 mil in foreigns, thus netting you £5 mil.

You shouldn't presume the offer is cack and that you have the best side in the league. To compete with Barca and Real, you're going to need to do deals.

I did look at it, I just couldn't remember it but I didn't like it. According to feedback in the first match, reserve keepers DO count and Pantilimon is pretty good.

I think I have a reasonable side.

I don't know if you don't like me or something or you just want to try and make me lose because you're a possible title rival, but there's no way Chelsea have a better defence than I do!

Everyone should be answerable for their predictions. I'm more than happy to explain why I predicted someone a loss if they come to me and ask about it. I'm merely asking I don't see how you can say Chelsea's defence was better than mine and you haven't answered.

I don't see how Howedes > Puyol as Howedes can't get in the German side and Puyol regularly starts for the best team in the world. Old age or not, he's still a top defender. The same applies to Terry.

Swap Neymar for Alonso and you chuck in Pirlo and I'll deal

Ribery + Cole for Messi + Alba?

Lahm + Alonso
=
Bosingwa/Rafinha + Modric

Ribery + Rooney for Messi + Nasri

He's injured for 4 weeks and your team is drastically weaker without him...

Alright, one offer to tempt you though...

Rooney + Ribery + Cole for Alba + Messi + Nasri?

Aguero and Tevez

Messi and Balotelli?

Aguero and Bale then?

What if I added Busquets for Alonso?

Fair enough.

Badstuber and Hamsik

Nasri and x

With x being a defender

Maybe, if there is no chance of Richards?

what for lescott/kompany?

I'd rather not do any deals and leave the team as it is just now.
