bale available?

by Cor Blimey Guvnor Wed May 23, 2012 2:33 pm

Sorry mate but I would be strengthening my bench at the expense of my first XI.

by Fernando Wed May 23, 2012 3:10 pm

i couldnt do that tbh i prefer all 3 of my players surprisingly id never thought id say that about united Laugh

Cole > Bale (as pure left back)
Cech > Valdes

Think i'd be losing out there mate sorry

by **Hero** Wed May 23, 2012 7:34 pm

Just not a huge fan of Bale sorry, far too hot and cold a player.

by Gregers Wed May 23, 2012 7:41 pm

Again I feel I losing out as Cech > Valdes sorry

by Gregers Wed May 23, 2012 8:58 pm

Okay

Cech >> Valdes
Mereiles < Carrick

Still no unfortunately mate

by pullthestrings Wed May 23, 2012 9:09 pm

Still in for Pedro - £20 mil?

by Gregers Wed May 23, 2012 9:09 pm

Not losing Kroos, especially not for Song.

by **Hero** Wed May 23, 2012 9:11 pm

Pedro + Piqué + Messi
For
Ribery + Luiz + Ronaldo

Enq

by pullthestrings Wed May 23, 2012 9:19 pm

Of course.. Valdes, Alves, Pique, Mascherano, Xavi, Iniesta, Messi, Rooney..

Any of them available?

by Gregers Wed May 23, 2012 9:20 pm

I don't like Song

Cech and Mereiles for Masch and Valdes?

Enq

by **Hero** Wed May 23, 2012 9:23 pm

Rooney + Pedro for Torres + Ronaldo

No thanks, I'm a Utd fan but I wouldn't swap Rooney for Ronaldo in a million years. Ronaldo is only leaving for Messi Wink

by Gregers Wed May 23, 2012 9:25 pm

And Valdes is rather average at times!

by **Hero** Wed May 23, 2012 9:31 pm

You were swapping him for Pedro not Rooney. Rooney is much better than Torres.

Mascherano + Rooney + Pedro for Ronaldo + Torres + Alonso?

You need some defensive midfielder.

I have Diarra if needed but I was considering playing 4-3-3 with 2 deep lying playmakers and a centre midfielder.

Oh and no thanks.

by **Hero** Wed May 23, 2012 9:43 pm

Ribery > Pedro
Messi => Ronaldo

I'm losing out majorly there!

by The Special Juan Wed May 23, 2012 10:16 pm

No thanks, I don't rate Puyol anymore.

by pullthestrings Thu May 24, 2012 1:14 pm

£22 mil for Pedro.

by pullthestrings Thu May 24, 2012 5:48 pm

What do you reckon? Otherwise I'll have a look in foreigns.

by pullthestrings Thu May 24, 2012 5:53 pm

Who do you think I should opt for in foreigns then?

by **Hero** Fri May 25, 2012 9:02 am

Ramos + Ribery for Pedro + Alves

How about instead Ribery + Luiz + 1m for Pedro + Pique?
Value wise on TM its exactly the same.

by **Hero** Fri May 25, 2012 12:43 pm

Maybe the same value on TM but you and I know both know the gap between the CBs is considerably larger.

Disagree on that, was never that much a fan of Luiz, but the 2nd half of this season Luiz has been quality, he was a rock at the back in the CL Final and it's understandable why the papers are linking him with a move to Barca.

by **Hero** Fri May 25, 2012 1:50 pm

I'll chuck in Fernando Gago & Roysten Drenthe if it seals it for you, two extra guys to soak up injuries or just over 5m in cash if you release the pair.

by **Hero** Fri May 25, 2012 1:58 pm

I will happily place you a gentlemanly bet that the pair of Ribery + Luiz are thought of as at least equal if not better than Pedro + Pique if it was asked on the main homepage, only reason I'm after the pair is because they're Spanish!

by The Special Juan Fri May 25, 2012 3:46 pm

No, that's not beneficial to me at all.

by The Special Juan Fri May 25, 2012 4:05 pm

1) There's little between Pique and T. Silva
2) Mascherano is a CB nowadays (and isn't a marauding beast)

by Gregers Fri May 25, 2012 10:48 pm

If you're looking to offload Pedro I'll take him!

I was right btw Wink

by Gregers Fri May 25, 2012 11:08 pm

So I'm guessing you don't want to do:

Josh McEachran for Pedro?

:P

Agreed though, Pedro is great even if he has been a bit off colour of recent.

by pullthestrings Wed May 30, 2012 3:08 pm

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

enq.

by **Hero** Wed May 30, 2012 3:18 pm

Ronaldo, Luiz, Ribery
for
Messi, Pique, Pedro

ENQ

by kamran Wed May 30, 2012 4:38 pm

Pique + Mascherano
for
Essien + Rio + Rosicky

by pullthestrings Wed May 30, 2012 8:03 pm

I prefer Busquets by quite a bit so would like to get something else in there if poss...

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

Alternatively,

Sanchez, Puyol, Mascherano
=
Busquets, Pedro, Carvalho

by Gregers Wed May 30, 2012 8:11 pm

Masch for Fellaini?

Enq only at this stage

by Gregers Wed May 30, 2012 8:40 pm

Fellaini is quality, and Masch is injured

by Gregers Wed May 30, 2012 8:41 pm

Was worth a try

by pullthestrings Wed May 30, 2012 9:09 pm

Sanchez, Pique, Mascherano
=
Busquets, Pedro, Terry

Enquiry

by pullthestrings Wed May 30, 2012 9:22 pm

Yeah, OK. You should know that I wouldn't do it if all players were fit, I see it as 2 losses, one gain.

by Bull Thu May 31, 2012 7:36 am

no thanks

by kamran Thu May 31, 2012 9:35 am

Pique + Fontas + Pedro + Carrick + Masch
for
Neymar + Mexes + Rio + Valencia + Essien
--------------------------
Really dont know who Fontas is and not too keen on Carrick mate

by footballcrazy Thu May 31, 2012 9:54 am

dont want to give away mvilla sorry

samuel+x
=
pique

enq

by kamran Thu May 31, 2012 11:33 am

Fontas is a young CB who's been given some time in Barcelona's first team this season, he's decent. Even if you have your reservations, he would only be a sub CB anyway. Carrick is quality mate! Could change it to Song maybe?.
-------------------------
Honestly I want to keep mine at the moment.
Sorry

by pullthestrings Thu May 31, 2012 11:57 am

Pique, Masherano
=
Terry, Busquets

enq.

by pullthestrings Thu May 31, 2012 12:00 pm

Nope!

by Gregers Thu May 31, 2012 1:05 pm

That's very tempting, could you throw in your £1million as well?

Cech and Pepe
for
Valdes and Pique and £1million

That i'd be very tempted by

Cech >> Valdes
Pepe < Pique

Does that look good

enq only at this point

by Gregers Thu May 31, 2012 1:06 pm

Song for Mereiles? enq

by Gregers Thu May 31, 2012 1:33 pm

Cech and Pepe for Valdes and Pique and £1million?

enq

by kamran Fri Jun 01, 2012 10:40 am

Ribery + Essien + Ferdinand for Masch + Pedro + Pique.
---------------------------
I could deal on that I guess

let me know if you still want to deal?

by Gregers Fri Jun 01, 2012 10:45 am

Still interested in this, let me know.

by kamran Fri Jun 01, 2012 12:11 pm

I dont think Essien is poor just been back from injuries.

I love Masch and thats why I want all three

Your choice mate
