Officially it's before your tactics are posted. If your tactics are up, your offer has expired. To prevent the player being used in tactics then sold.

by Guest Thu 5 Jul - 17:07

will get my tactics in tomorrow evening, havent got time tonight.

by Trebs Thu 5 Jul - 17:10

No worries, the deadline is tomorrow night anyway

by GSC Thu 5 Jul - 17:32

Had about 140 words not counting subs

by **Hero** Thu 5 Jul - 17:42

If anyone wishes to buy Saha for 2.5m or Defoe for 7m then please say so ASAP.

by Guest Thu 5 Jul - 19:27

trebs as your answering everyone's offers, could you answer mine that i left a while ago

by Trebs Thu 5 Jul - 19:51

Sorry, answered

by David James Number One Thu 5 Jul - 20:14

Would it be a good idea that money comes into the League after every game, think it will encourage transfers to continue and increase foreign bids..

by GSC Thu 5 Jul - 20:16

If its realistic then really transfers should be limited to now, and midseason.

by Bull Thu 5 Jul - 20:18

dont like the idea of transfers closing limits options for us to bring in new guys!

by David James Number One Thu 5 Jul - 20:19

True but I think that would make people lose interest. One of the things to keep everyone posting is transfers and trying to improve. Think cash should come in like say £3m for a win £2m for a loss and £1m for a draw. This would be reaalistic as better teams would get more cash and keep spending

by Trebs Thu 5 Jul - 20:20

David James, it's every four games you all get a 5 million increase to your budgets.

I like the idea of foreign transfer window closing, but not the domestic window closing, but I'm open to suggestions. It shouldn't be until around the 4th game of the season though IMO.

by David James Number One Thu 5 Jul - 20:21

Ah that sounds good OTW, I think foreigns should stay open, will make it more enjoyable as transfers are the best bit Smile

by Trebs Thu 5 Jul - 20:24

I don't like win bonuses as it's even more difficult for the smaller teams to keep up then.

At the end of the season there will be prize money, to be sorted out, then that goes to your new season budget

by GSC Thu 5 Jul - 20:26

Yeah, win bonuses make giving smaller teams bigger budgets a bit irrelevant really

by David James Number One Thu 5 Jul - 20:27

Yeah true point lads

When will foreigns be answered OTW, and do you think mine are likely to be accepted?

by Trebs Thu 5 Jul - 20:30

I don't know, whenever TSC comes on; it's been around 7.30-8.30 before.

And I wouldn't like to speculate, it's not my decision

by The Special Juan Thu 5 Jul - 20:47

Sorry gents. Had all the bids done then the laptop decided to do it's new favourite trick of pretending I'm holding down the ctrl key when I am not. Very annoying and had to turn the thing off. Shouldn't be too long.

by Trebs Thu 5 Jul - 20:49

Alright mate

What are your thoughts on transfer windows? May make your life easier Laugh

by The Special Juan Thu 5 Jul - 20:57

The easier the better!! Whatever suits you; I wouldn't be opposed to transfer windows. I miss my laptop Sad

Oh, I'm away out next Friday so I won't be able to do any foreigns.

by Trebs Thu 5 Jul - 21:05

Alright mate, I've posted it on the media page as a question, get the consensus from the other managers.

If you want to set days managers can bid, then that's fine, just post it on your page so people know?

by The Special Juan Thu 5 Jul - 21:13

I'll do that starting next week then. It goes down to 1 a day next week, doesn't it?

by Trebs Thu 5 Jul - 21:14

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu 5 Jul - 21:33

Damn was hoping to get Musacchio to bolster my defence. But hey ho we move on, now gonna spend £6.5 million on what is probably going to be a back up keeper Laugh

by Trebs Thu 5 Jul - 21:34

Musacchio would have been an excellent signing for you. Think you're making a mistake spending 6.5m there, you should just find someone cheap for 1 or 2 million. Ruddy is a good keeper.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu 5 Jul - 21:35

Yeah but I want Butland. Just for the hell of it

by puntingred Thu 5 Jul - 21:41

Quoits happy to sign Varela; a good LW - and it allows me to keep both Ben Arfa & Walcott

Walcott, Sigurdsson, Varela, Ben Arfa - not bad for 3 spots Smile

by Trebs Thu 5 Jul - 21:42

Still think you should sell Walcott Whistle

You have good players there

by GSC Thu 5 Jul - 21:47

Honestly I have no reason to sell, theres nobody of yours I particularly want and I wouldn't be able to upgrade in foreigns

by **Hero** Thu 5 Jul - 21:52

Midfield and attack:

-------Modric---Fellaini--------
Dzagoev----Hazard----Bale
-----------Adebayor--------

Happy with that Very Happy

by Fernando Thu 5 Jul - 21:54

i don't think spurs attack was ever much in doubt it just more the defence/GK

by Trebs Thu 5 Jul - 21:58

I've got plenty of options, considering

----------------------------Reina-------------------------------
Johnson-------------Skrtel--------Agger----------------Cissokho
-------------Gerrard------Montolivo------Cabaye----------------
-------Krasic--------------------------------------Vargas-------
----------------------------Suarez------------------------------

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu 5 Jul - 22:00

I am at this

Ruddy
Naughton - Martin - Bennett - Tierney
Snodgrass - Howson - Fox - Pilkington
Holt - Rhodes

Subs:
Steer
Davies
Robinson
Johnson
Bennett
Hoolahan
Morison
Wilbraham

I have many more options, and am in fact happy with my 25 man squad so far Realistic Premier League - Page 16 3559488474

Well I've brought in Heitinga, Vertonghen and Baines so far so not doing bad there either.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu 5 Jul - 22:10

In fact if I get my two foreigns tomorrow I can line up two decent teams

Ruddy
Naughton - R. Bennett - Davies - Tierney
Burke - Howson - Johnson - Pilks
Holt - Rhodes

Butland
Martin - Ayala - Whitbread - Robinson
E. Bennett - Fox - Butterfield - Snodgrass
Hoolahan
Morison

Think I have two decent teams there. And I would have Steer, Dawson, Etuhu, Frimpong, Jackson, Sharp and Wilbraham in reserve

by David James Number One Thu 5 Jul - 23:22

You ladies better watch out, these are my two teams!

Cech
Ivanovic Cahill Terry Cole
Lampard Mikel Gourcuff
Higuain Torres Mata

and..

Courtois
Ferreria Bosingwa Luiz Shaw
Ramires Essien Romeu
Piazon Kalou Marin

Very Happy

by GSC Thu 5 Jul - 23:24

Higuain out wide Erm

by David James Number One Thu 5 Jul - 23:25

Higuain plays out widee quite a lot haha:)

by GSC Thu 5 Jul - 23:29

Fair 'nuff, but if I signed a striker for 35m I'd play him in his best position.

Surely Marin would be more effective wide right.

by David James Number One Thu 5 Jul - 23:30

As if it matters if he is on the left or right, can chance throughout the match anyway.

Check Higuains ESPN page, he is known for his attacking in various positions up front Smile

by GSC Thu 5 Jul - 23:32

Yeah but then you end up with Torres pushed wide again. Its your call though.

by David James Number One Thu 5 Jul - 23:35

Not really as Higuain is on the right lke it shows in the formation above. :L Alternatively, could do...

------- Mikel
Lampard - Gourcuff
------- Mata
- Higuain - Torres

by GSC Thu 5 Jul - 23:35

Would work better tbh. Though maybe sub Lampard for Ramires

by David James Number One Thu 5 Jul - 23:36

Cheers mate Smile

by **Hero** Thu 5 Jul - 23:53

Personally I'd go with this if I was Chelsea:

---------------Cech------------
Ivanovic---Luiz---Cahill---Cole
----------Mikel---Essien---------
Ramires------Mata------Marin
--------------Higuain------------

by Trebs Thu 5 Jul - 23:54

I think you should play Higuain at right back, in an unbiased opinion Whistle

by **Hero** Thu 5 Jul - 23:56

^
I concur

by Trebs Thu 5 Jul - 23:58

Anyone watch Question Time?

Louise Mensch against John Lydon arguing about drug legalization?
