BUDGET

Starting budget: £45 mil
Transfers In: (£135.5 mil)
Transfers Out: £76 mil
Prediction bonus: £22 mil

Current Budget: £7.5

Just wanted to try and squeeze as much cash as possible for obvious reasons, never mind. Deal with £5m.

Vidic + Evra + Carrick
=
Modric + King + Ekotto

to be honest i couldnt really sell Vidic, Ferdinand could go tho but would need a better defender then King

cant see anything for sneijder, modric mate

dont wana let go of sneijder

Do a straight swap for Benoit?

Kaka and Carvalho for Modric?

I'd do him for 5m then

Your team with Carvalho now looks amazing mate.

sanchez+king
=
samuel+pazzini+cash

enq

I rate Ekotto so would say you need a winger the most.

Make an offer mate, he's probably the player in my first team that could be available.

No way mate. More than happy with Mascherano in DM, him and Busquets are about the same for me. Essien doesn't start so no need to improve him.

Kaka is available put I'm not giving him away for the likes of headless chicken Lennon

Could you come back to me after foreigns, or if you get a new goalkeeper? Because not totally against the idea of swapping Pedro for Lennon with Busquets in the deal, can shift Iniesta out wide. But just want another improvement but I can't see any from your side at the moment. Wouldn't mind Higuain in a wide area for Pedro? Would only be an enquiry.

Are you creating Jose's back 4? Lol

Cole for Ekotto, Busquets and £15 million

Enq

Was worth a shot early in the morning!

That's tempting, can I get back to you on that

Nah, I need a striker for him and Aguero > all your strikers.

You're my rival so if you want Clichy you can have him for £8m (which you don't have at the moment).

Sanchez available?

Good offer, but with my budget deficit that would only leave me £11million to get a new winger in and that is not going to come close to buying someone of Pedro's quality.

Would you be interested in any other players?

Quite happy with Alonso in the DM role! It's where he's played all season.
Cole could be up for a move but not interested in Benoit sorry.

Valdes would probably be the only one depending on the price of Lloris.

Sorry, £8m

Why not just £8m tomorrow? You can confirm it now (money to be added at 9:01 or something)

Clichy & Biscuits
For
Cole & Diarra

Clichy & Modric
For
Cole & Kaka

I really like Modric but a three of him, Alonso and Fabregas just doesn't work sorry and isn't part of the direction I'm trying to take the club.

Thanks bud.

I suppose my answer would relate to how much Gerrard is likely to cost. Raising a few more million from releases may be tricky.

I don't suppose Pato could be bought for £16.5m?

Otherwise Mexes, Moutinho are options.

Modric + Clichy
=
Mata + Cole

enq.

Sorry I've got a plan for my team again this season of which Mata is part of it.

For the pair around 60m!

lol, £22 mil + Lennon for Ribery?

Sorry mate didn't see your offer. No, gonna have to be a no I'm afraid - if I could get someone of equal value you would not be asking me to buy him.

Really don't know which is part of the reason I'm reluctant to flog Pedro. Would have said Neymar/Hazard but both look like going, don't they?

Lampard +13m for VDV

ENQ

Young and Drogba for Sanchez and Higs?

Enq

Valencia + Llorente + Essien
for
Sanchez + Higuain + Busquets

Young and Drogba
For
Sanchez and Busquets?

Enq

Masch, Pique, Pedro, Puyol
=
Carvalho, Terry, Busquets, Sanchez

-----

Carvalho < Puyol
Terry < Pique
Busquets => Masch
Sanchez => Pedro

Fair enough deal almost, but I think the deal hinges on the CBs and my two are simply stronger.

Masch for Busquets?

Masch, Pique, Pedro, Puyol, Abidal
=
Carvalho, Terry, Busquets, Sanchez, Clichy?

===

Not interested in losing Puyol for Carvalho, it's making a problem worse.

Abidal's injury doesn't particularly concern me either so the Clichy deal is to no benefit.

Sanchez, Pique, Mascherano
=
Busquets, Pedro, Terry

===

This is the type of deal I'd be looking at. Would like some time to mull over other options though if that's alright?

sanchez+x
=
forlan+x

Any chance of adding any cash?

Mereiles = Sandro + £2.5million

enq

Scrap that mate

Khedira, RVP, Carvalho/Sanchez
=
Busquets, Higuain, Verm/Di Maria.
-----------------------------------------------
Speaking as Guv's caretaker

no deal

Carvalho + Busquets + Sanchez + Higuain
for
Mexes + Essien + Valencia + Llorente

Ramires = Busquets and cash? Enq

Cesar + Navas + Cambiasso + Sneijder + Maicon
=
Friedal + Sanchez + Busquets + Modric + Bosingwa
-------------------
haha and how does that benefit me?

higuain=forlan+zarate

enq

Ferdinand + Mexes + Essien for Terry + Busquets + Gallas?

Ferdinand + Mexes + Essien for Terry + Busquets + Gallas

===

Nice one buddy, deal. Have fun on your massive weekend bender.

Sanchez for Young?
