And you should consider it giving it a bash mate, these leagues are a good way to develop footballing knowledge

I shall see. But I want the league to be competitive. I want each and every team to be managed by a competent guy. But if no one is willing to give it a go, then I will do this thumbsup

Now we have our quota of teams when can we start confirming transfers and bidding on foreigns?

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu 28 Jun 2012, 8:05 am

I will do releases tonight people. I am out again all day and will only be on my phone, so I will do them when I get in this evening which should be around 8. Sorry!!

Just wait for Trebs to come on and give everything the okay, and you should be able to start confirming. I think Foreigns were due to open Monday

by Guest Thu 28 Jun 2012, 8:38 am

i have only deal agreed in principle now as i cancelled the other 2...

just waiting for chelsea gaffer's say so to confirm.

by puntingred Thu 28 Jun 2012, 8:45 am

Yeah, I've got 3 left to confirm; will leave my First XI something like:

------------------------Krul-------------------
---Simpson--Coloccini----Taylor----BAE----
----Walcott----Arteta----Sandro---Ben Arfa--
-----------------Cisse-----Ba-----------------

Whilst I need to sign a RB and an AMC.

by Guest Thu 28 Jun 2012, 8:48 am

i need to sign a lot of players lol, i havent had time to arrange any deals of my own yet

by CFCNick Thu 28 Jun 2012, 8:52 am

As it is my XI will be

Foster
Reid - Collins - Tamas - Shorey
Mulumbu
Dos Santos - McEachran - Pienaar - Brunt
Odemwingie/Lukaku

by **Hero** Thu 28 Jun 2012, 8:54 am

I have no idea at present with my team!

?
Walker---?---?---Baines
Fellaini---Modric
?---VDV---Bale
?

At present 6 players I know I want in my team, the rest I'm probably looking at foreigns.

by CFCNick Thu 28 Jun 2012, 8:55 am

Yeah, I'm gonna be hitting foreigns for my defensive needs

by puntingred Thu 28 Jun 2012, 9:00 am

That's a very nice basis though Hero

Ive got players for sale guys, come have a look Smile

by **Hero** Thu 28 Jun 2012, 9:03 am

Yeah it's certainly not a bad platform to start from, and with the transfers in place so far I've raised my kitty to hopefully bring some other players in over the coming week.

by puntingred Thu 28 Jun 2012, 9:16 am

Yeah I've got about £12M left, I've guesstimated I can get that up to about £18M with releases, so that'll be enough for my two first XI signings and a couple of squad players

by puntingred Thu 28 Jun 2012, 9:18 am

Really happy with my wingers, think they've got more than enough to provide good balls for Cisse

by **Hero** Thu 28 Jun 2012, 9:18 am

I've managed to accrue 30m for transfers now before releases so that should fill me out nicely and perhaps treat myself to one marque signing.

by puntingred Thu 28 Jun 2012, 9:19 am

Demba Ba is someone I'm willing to sell for cash btw.

Lower end teams won't find a better striker than him

by Trebs Thu 28 Jun 2012, 9:33 am

Good to see we have the final manager, I'll update the page now and transfers will be officially open soon.

Releases will open tonight, if that's when Olly said is okay.

by Trebs Thu 28 Jun 2012, 10:11 am

Domestics are now officially open and can be confirmed

by CFCNick Thu 28 Jun 2012, 10:25 am

Am I right in thinking we get money for our releases? If so how much would I get for Morrison and Fortune?

by Guest Thu 28 Jun 2012, 10:30 am

i have made one signing and it wasnt even one i agreed myself..

i have too many strikers and i need to strengthen in other positions.

by **Hero** Thu 28 Jun 2012, 10:33 am

I possibly have no strikers at all Laugh

by Trebs Thu 28 Jun 2012, 10:45 am

Mocking, yes, you'll get half their usual market value.

I can't say because that's my job. Olly is in charge of that. Post the players you want to release on their page.

Laugh

Hero

If everyone could please make sure they confirm all of their transfers on the confirmation page.

by Gregers Thu 28 Jun 2012, 11:11 am

Stracqualursi, Hahnemaan, McFadden, Neville, Gueye, Osman, Vellios, Anchibe

Are all available from Everton for the right offer.

by Trebs Thu 28 Jun 2012, 11:13 am

10m for the lot Whistle

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu 28 Jun 2012, 12:24 pm

Guys I will do releases tonight when I am on a PC. Just nipped on on my phone but I'm out. And TM will be used as a rough guidline but ultimately it's my decision. Any arguing will result in me getting your star player king

by Marky Thu 28 Jun 2012, 12:30 pm

Planning already for Stoke's opener against title favourites Manchester United. Look forward to it.

by Bull Thu 28 Jun 2012, 12:46 pm

i will lose marky.

i have 28m now yeah!

by Guest Thu 28 Jun 2012, 1:59 pm

Aaron Ramsey can go for Cash Realistic Premier League - Page 8 3559488474

ive rejected 10m already Realistic Premier League - Page 8 3559488474

by Marky Thu 28 Jun 2012, 2:45 pm

Just signed ALF Shocked

Cue Alien Life Form references Whistle

by **Hero** Thu 28 Jun 2012, 3:28 pm

Trebs, did you make a decision on upping the number of foreigns that could be made prior to the first game?

And also what level should we think of our clubs to be so we have a rough idea of players that we could attract? Are we considered as the clubs are in RL (so Chelsea can attract pretty much anyone, Reading etc would struggle)

by Fernando Thu 28 Jun 2012, 3:29 pm

id expect a reasonable target tbh Realistic Premier League - Page 8 3559488474

Im presuming people like Kagawa are no goes except for the club they've joined otherwise it would just be weird Laugh

by Trebs Thu 28 Jun 2012, 3:41 pm

Hero, I will consult with TSC tonight about it, sorry I forgot last night in all the excitement of the Spain-Portugal game.

I think that's it, we're considered as the clubs would be IRL. At the end of the first season more players will join the league though, for example you could argue that you are league champions, FA Cup winners etc. to attract better players.

Then at the end of the second season, there will be the Champions League winners argument, which would attract better players still.

by **Hero** Thu 28 Jun 2012, 3:42 pm

Well if the clubs themselves are sort of brought in from the point of the end of last season then at the time the likes of Arsenal etc were in the hunt for Kagawa (and Hazard) so I presume they have as much chance.

by puntingred Thu 28 Jun 2012, 4:20 pm

I really dont have much money compared to you guys steam

by **Hero** Thu 28 Jun 2012, 4:26 pm

Surprised by that, Newcastle are thought of as the bees knees in these games at present so you should be able to fetch top whack for Cisse etc

by puntingred Thu 28 Jun 2012, 4:40 pm

Well I got good deals for Cabaye & Tiote which improved my first team

But Im suprised no one has taken Ba off of me or actually made a sensible offer for Cisse

Still, should have enough for the RB & AM I want; it's just about whether the squad will be good enough

by GSC Thu 28 Jun 2012, 4:45 pm

Depends how much you'd want for Ba I guess.

by Guest Thu 28 Jun 2012, 4:51 pm

when do foreigns open?

by Trebs Thu 28 Jun 2012, 4:52 pm

Next Monday

by Guest Thu 28 Jun 2012, 5:51 pm

where is bull? i want phil jones!! Wink

by The_Enigma Thu 28 Jun 2012, 6:00 pm

Made a few players available at Aston Villa now. Take a look

by Trebs Thu 28 Jun 2012, 6:55 pm

What are people's thoughts on foreign transfers?

Should it be the highest bidder gets the player or first come first served.

So if for example, I bid 10m for Klose, then later on that day Hero bids 12m for Klose, who should get the player?

by GSC Thu 28 Jun 2012, 6:57 pm

First come, first served doesn't really make sense.

by Guest Thu 28 Jun 2012, 6:58 pm

highest bidder i think.

by Gregers Thu 28 Jun 2012, 6:59 pm

I think if someone bids £12 million for Klose they need to be assessed for their sanity...

Either way I think reasons/club prowess should be more important that price

by The_Enigma Thu 28 Jun 2012, 7:00 pm

I think that whoever bids first, gets the first shot at contract talks with the player. If the player is happy to join the club and the transfer is realistic, then he can join them. If not, he can talk to the second club and if the player wants to sign then that's fine, as long as he's rejected the first offer.

After an offer as been placed for a player, the second bid must at least match it, all offers need to have reasons as to why they want the player to sign for their club

by Guest Thu 28 Jun 2012, 7:01 pm

yh i agree with you there enigma, very good post.
