Cherries has stated on the chatbox that he would consider offers of around £60m for Neymar. For those we are interested

by TwisT Mon May 21, 2012 10:07 pm

Just so people know. Vidal/Khedira are both up for sale. Would like a straight swap for a CAM. No silly offers please. Am prepared to offer some cash as well.

That is all

So its two transfer per week yes. So if someone signs 2 from old lawyers then they cant sign a star player can they?

It is two per week Nick for TP's.
Star player doesn't affect it, you can sign a star player as well as your 2 TP's
That is what I presume

Can this be cleared up please.

by Trebs Tue May 22, 2012 9:51 am

You can sign two players from TPs, and sign a third player this week (star player) is my understanding

by Marky Tue May 22, 2012 9:54 am

Yeah, what Treble said. 2 TP's and 1 SP this week.

Ok coolio.

So annoying, Tooze comes on line, says he paid £14m for Carrick but doesnt respond to any offers left on his page. Im sick of this. Dont bother leaving me an offer, I will not respond.

by ncfc_Tooze Tue May 22, 2012 10:45 am

Nick, I cant sit here for hours a day, waiting for bids to come in now can I.
I have had a hell of a lot more important things happening in my life right now, that have overtaken what I do on this site.
Prehaps you dont get that, there are sometimes more important things than this site.

Tooze got money
Treble got Vidal
Twist got M'Vila
Nick got Carrick

Everybody wins!

by Amy Tue May 22, 2012 11:20 am

I just had to pop on and apologize for James.
He has had a tough time lately.
A family friend had a car crash about a fortnight ago, at present we have heard no further news but last we heard things were not looking good.
Sunday night a close friend had a car crash also, leaving him in a critical condition in hospital. So James has been Travelling to Cambridge for the last few days to visit as they do not know how much longer he has.
This time last year his dad also walked out on the family and he hasn't heard from him since then.
Prehaps this will explain why james has not been on the site as reguarlly as some of you feel he should be.

Ok sorry Tooze.

by sodhat Tue May 22, 2012 11:29 am

No need to apologise for anything, real life is more important and that does sound like a rough time, I hope it turns out.

I wouldn't worry about arguing with people and stuff either, everyone argues with Nick, it doesn't count!

Cup Votes and Reasons

FC Bournemouth 2-1 Bilbao Baggins

Goal Scorers: FCB: Hernanes,Costa , BB: Kroos
-----
Athletico Bilbao Baggins vs FC United of Bournemouth
Score : - Neymar 1 – 2 Dost, Cisse

Neymar gets a very early goal with a direct pass right through the centre of Bilbao’s defence from Fernadinho. Neymar latches on and slips it past De Gea.
Bilbao Baggins become more disciplined at the back and quell the treat of Neymar. From this point Bilbao boss the midfield but create few chances against FC United’s well-organised defence.
Bilbao’s first goal comes late in the first half with a floated cross from Gotze onto Dosts head. Their second goal comes from a wonder strike from 35 yards by Cisse in the dying minutes. The goalkeeper is caught off guard, which costs the team a goal and the game.
-----
Athletico Bilbao Baggins 1-3 FC United of Bournemouth.....
Ayew-----------------------------------Hernanes
-----------------------------------Neymarx2

What are Athletico playing at drastic change from before and this did not work at all the DM sitting infront of the defenders and leaving the gap between the attack which left them vunerable. They would have been better of sticking to what they know and would have most likely got the win. Cherries boys showed a massive improvement and the players rised to the occasion with a bit of help from the odd selection by Hero. The score could have been higher.
-----
Both sides very strong, Cherries planning for Gotze down the middle and Hero catches him out with Gotze on the wing and Kroos down the middle who is too good to be left alone as the AM, and it's the difference.

Result:

Athletic Bilbao Baggins 3-2 FC United of Bournemouth
(Kroos, Dost, Cisse) (Neymar x2)
-----
Athletico Bilbao Baggins 1 vs 0 FC United of Bournemouth
Cisse

I think Baggins had the right tactics to deal with Neymar, and FC simply do not have anything else to offer when their main threat has been taken out of the game. With their wingers going inside, it plays to Baggins strengths with two strong CDM blocking their paths. If FC looked to get crosses in to a target man then I think they would have won, simply because Baggins 3 defenders would have been stretched.
-----
Athletico Bilbao Baggins 0-4 FC United of Blar Blar Blar
N/A - Neymar x 3, Costa

Even though FC United of Bournemouth set up was taylored to seeing a different Baggins side they were confertable in their win. With FC United's wingers instrudcted to come inside and attack the CB's Baggins struggled. Subotic was overwelmed, Abate and Cole are not Cb's and cant defend like one. With Cambiasso & Motta sat infront and helping Subotic, Hernanes had dropped deeper to control the game which he did supurbly. Cazorla & Gotze tried their best to get Cisse & Dost in the game but with so much pressure on Baggins defence attacks were few and far apart. Neymar enjoyed playing against one CB and won Man of The Match.
-----
Bilbao 2-4 Bournemouth
Gotze 26 ----- Maicon 10
Cisse 57 ------Neymar 35, 69
-------------- Costa 84

A thrilling game, but playing the system Hero played killed his chances of winning. Abate and Cole both get forward and if they are going to be narrow then the wingers have a ridiculous amount of room with Costa and Dudu having loads of space. Hernanes getting slightly deeper worked well and Hero's bravery playing attacking meant they got a reward, but it wasn't enough.
-----
Athletico Bilbao Baggins 2 vs 1 FC United of Bournemouth and boscombe wanderers’ athletic football clubs
Scorers: Hernanes
Dost, Cisse

Feedback: Baggins have gone for a bold formation here, and ultimately it works as they will be winners in this game. FC United have improved vastly over the season but they just can't go the extra mile in this game. Win for Baggins, but watch out for FC United next season. Could be a dark horse!
-----
Cherrys team 2 v 3 Atletico Baggins AET
Neymar X2 , Cissie X2 , Gotze

VERY GOOD GAME BOTH SIDES MATCH EACH OTHER WELL BUT WHILE CISSE SCORES WHAT LOOKS TO BE THE WINNER NEYMAR SCORES TO MAKE IT EVEN IN THE END GOTZE SCORES IN THE DIEING MOMENTS IN EXTRA TIME.
-----
Bilbao Baggins 5-0 FC United of Hesslelink
Far too much strength on the wings and a lethal strike force for Cherry's CB's to handle.
-----
Athletico Bilbao Baggins 2 (Cisse, Cazorla)
FC United of Bournemouth and boscombe wanderers’ athletic football clubs 1 (Neymar)

2 sets of tactics that are very good possibly the best cherries have done so far, how ever I felt they were too long. This in turn has forced my hand on marking him down a bit. If he can do similar quality tactics next season but in a shorter format he will be a big threat.
-----
Bilbao Baggins 2-0 FC United

Never seen so many polarised views on it, everyone seemed to see it differently

by **Hero** Tue May 22, 2012 11:52 am

I knew it was a risk to play 3 at the back with using 2 fullbacks as part of it but I wanted to play something different as TSC went with a tried and tested method in the semi v Neymar and lost.
