Also kiss goodbye to Gunter, turns out we have wealthy owners now Wink

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue 03 Jul 2012, 3:59 pm

Yeah true. Think he was a target Lambert liked, not so sure about Hughton.

Good player Gunter, but hasn't fulfilled his real potential yet in his career.

by GSC Tue 03 Jul 2012, 4:04 pm

He'll be a PL player sooner rather than later. If the 20m transfer kitty is correct, then hopefully at Forest.

But Barnsley captain at 21, and an England Under 21 international. Should have a good future ahead of him.

And if the League is Realistic I should be able to get him free as well

Not now he's joined Norwich. laughing

Would I have to pay a fee for Butterfield? Norwich got him on a free, so shouldn't I, when I bid for him tomorrow

by Fernando Tue 03 Jul 2012, 4:55 pm

id expect so OTW had to pay for Montolivo and Someone is paying for Diame in foreigns thumbsup

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue 03 Jul 2012, 4:58 pm

Damn. Was hoping to get the 'realistic' transfer.

May have to think what foreigns to go for, are tactics due by friday midnight?

by GSC Tue 03 Jul 2012, 5:01 pm

I had to pay for Hoilett.

I guess we arent doing contracts so it kinda makes sense

Yeah I understand but I was hoping for the actual transfer value. Like Nando with Giroud and Podolski, where he paid what Arsenal actually did thumbsup

by GSC Tue 03 Jul 2012, 5:59 pm

Yeah, I think of it as a signing bonus for the player

by The Special Juan Tue 03 Jul 2012, 6:19 pm

Hiya, I'll start answering TP's @ 7pm. Having problems with this current laptop, it keeps dc'ing me from the internet. Pile of censored

by Guest Tue 03 Jul 2012, 6:25 pm

ive put a foreign in for David Wheater....put in more money then he's worth so hoping to get him.

by GSC Tue 03 Jul 2012, 6:29 pm

I'd be very surprised if theres a problem there CF

by Guest Tue 03 Jul 2012, 6:32 pm

i just have to go for players who will do a solid job, and not bother attempting to sign superstars, just players who can do the job, so hopefully i get him Smile

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue 03 Jul 2012, 6:33 pm

Yeah David Wheater did a great job in the defence that conceded the most goals last season Whistle

by **Hero** Tue 03 Jul 2012, 6:34 pm

CF just apply the logic that if West Ham can sign Tevez and Mascherano then they can sign anyone Laugh

by Marky Tue 03 Jul 2012, 6:35 pm

Damn, now I'll have to settle for signing Tim Reem Laugh

by GSC Tue 03 Jul 2012, 6:45 pm

Kinda surprised nobodies in for Fletcher or Jarvis yet

by CFCNick Tue 03 Jul 2012, 7:00 pm

Graeme Swann's Cat wrote:Kinda surprised nobodies in for Fletcher or Jarvis yet

I flirted with the idea of Fletcher but opted for the man, the myth, Chris Wondolowski. 14 goals in 17 games do far this season. San Josr top the Western conference.

by GSC Tue 03 Jul 2012, 7:05 pm

I went for Guidetti, 20 goals in 23 games in the dutch league

by Guest Tue 03 Jul 2012, 7:06 pm

im happy with my starting midfield, and to a certain my starting forwards..

however

my defence needs working on.

http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Manchester-City-John-Guidetti-wants-first-team-chances-to-return-from-Feyenoord-article874827.html

Now he isn't going to be ahead of Aguero, Tevez, Balotelli and Balotelli is he?

So what's the issue?

You say 'pay' but £6m for a European Chapionship finalist who's just signed for AC Milan is a steal.... chin

by Trebs Tue 03 Jul 2012, 9:42 pm

Evening lads

Been very busy today, moved into my new place, away from the infestation, which is a plus.

I will be around for a bit tonight, will be busy again tomorrow so may not be around, but you seem to manage without me Whistle

The rules on players out of contract, like I've said on several other occasions, is that it's half the market value. Reason I got Montolivo for 6m is because he's worth 12m

by The_Enigma Tue 03 Jul 2012, 10:02 pm

My Foreign offer was completely missed out today!

by Trebs Tue 03 Jul 2012, 10:08 pm

Enigma, speak to TSC about it

He's running that part of the league.

by The_Enigma Tue 03 Jul 2012, 10:09 pm

Have already posted it in the foreign transfer section, but not heard anything back yet.

Just don't want any confusion if I were to bid for 2 more players tomorrow thumbsup

by puntingred Tue 03 Jul 2012, 10:29 pm

Delighted to sign Sigurdsson and Benat Smile

Got something like this as a starting line up, definite improvement on what I started with despite losing Cabaye/Tiote.

------------------------Krul---------------
---Debuchy---Coloccini---Douglas--BAE-
----------------Arteta------Sandro------
-----Walcott------Sigurdsson---Ben Arfa-
----------------------Cisse----------------

by Trebs Tue 03 Jul 2012, 10:32 pm

I was going to get Sigurdsson at one point too, just didn't see him as a priority. You have a very good side there Punting. I would suggest maybe finding a proper left winger, maybe see if you could swap Walcott or Ben Arfa?

by puntingred Tue 03 Jul 2012, 10:35 pm

Yeah, I effectively made the choice between Sigurdsson & Luuk De Jong.

A creative midfielder was Definately what I needed, having sold Cabaye & Jonas.

And cheers, yeah, that's what I was thinking alongside a back up LB

by Trebs Tue 03 Jul 2012, 10:42 pm

Should have went for De Jong Whistle

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue 03 Jul 2012, 10:44 pm

I'm gonna walk this league with the combination of Holt and Rhodes up front. Goals guaranteed, especially with Morison coming off the bench too! It's just keeping them out that will be the problem Laugh

by Trebs Tue 03 Jul 2012, 10:47 pm

You should get Jamie Carragher Olly, only 15m.

It's almost as good a deal as Bull's price for Phil Jones Whistle

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue 03 Jul 2012, 10:48 pm

Nah I could get Titus Bramble. He knows how to defend Cool

by **Hero** Tue 03 Jul 2012, 10:49 pm

What's Bull up to now with Jones?
22? 25?

I herd he was contemplating a swap deal with Barca for Messi, Xavi and Iniesta although Barca would obviously have to stump up some cash on top.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue 03 Jul 2012, 10:50 pm

If Jones is worth £20m+ then Super Grant must be worth at least £50m. And Rooney must be around £500m

by Trebs Tue 03 Jul 2012, 10:51 pm

Jones disagrees with his ratings
http://www.whoateallthepies.tv/man_utd/115202/he-looks-like-a-georgian-gargoyle-little-ditty-about-phil-jones-amazing-gurns-video.html/attachment/jones

Looking to bring in a couple of squad players, looking to pay up to 5m. Mainly wanting a couple of defenders who have some sort of rating, and also want a substitute goalkeeper.

by cherriesfna Tue 03 Jul 2012, 11:00 pm

beat the system

by Bull Tue 03 Jul 2012, 11:01 pm

make fun but it makes sense.

if the small teams cant get players froom Tps and i need to improve by making a profit of course im going to charge that i mean would Jones in RL jin West ham?? no so it makes sense at the charged price and united signed him for 16m im not to take 10m am i ? thats a loss.

by puntingred Tue 03 Jul 2012, 11:06 pm

I know, someone basically paid £22M for Enrique to Trebs and got Downing thrown in free Wink

by Bull Tue 03 Jul 2012, 11:08 pm

in the world of business tahts how it works you dont get anyone unless you pay over.

plus it really helps with the debt =(

by Gregers Tue 03 Jul 2012, 11:15 pm

puntingred wrote:I know, someone basically paid £22M for Enrique to Trebs and got Downing thrown in free

That would be me punting!

----------Vorm-------------
Santon--Jags-Daws-Enrique
----------Diame-----------
-----Parker--Cahill---------
Lennon------------Downing
--------Jelavic------------

With Sinclair, Rodallega, Donovan, Cameron supporting (Providing tps go through tomorrow) very happy with that side

by GSC Tue 03 Jul 2012, 11:16 pm

If you want something the other person wants you have to pay more.

by puntingred Tue 03 Jul 2012, 11:25 pm

Was only kidding Gregers Ok!

Downing actually had the highest chance creation rate for a winger in the league last year, it's just that they were never finished off.

I'll still be taking you down though Laugh

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue 03 Jul 2012, 11:27 pm

Gotta beat me at Fortress Carrow Road first Punting. Be prepared to go through hell and back.

by Gregers Tue 03 Jul 2012, 11:28 pm

I'm aiming for a strong 6th or so this season and then to push on hopefully
