Foreign Transfers

First topic message reminder :

Bid for your foreign transfers here. To start the season, there will be two bids allowed per day, this will then decrease to one per day when the season starts. The Special Juan will then answer all of the bids received in the evening. They do not carry over, so you cannot bid nothing all week and then bid five times on the Friday.

The first bidder gets the first chance to sign the player, and if this offer is accepted then they will sign for the original club, regardless of the subsequent offers. But, if the original bidder has not bid enough or the transfer is unrealistic then subsequent bids will then be considered. Any following bids must be at least of equal value to the first bidder.

Please make sure all transfers are confirmed on the foreign transfer confirmation page.

Bull, considering these squads are based on the end of last season, that's a stupid bid.

You would need to pay the same amount Man U paid Buttner's old club to get him.

Ricardo Carvalho
Real Madrid to Stoke City
£2.5m

Ricky is surplus to requirements at Real Madrid and is heavily linked to a loan move to QPR in real life. In this league, loans aren't allowed however we are willing to offer Real Madrid a decent fee to sign Ricky permanently. If he is happy to move to QPR, we feel he'd be at least equally happy to move to Stoke City.

Will these be answered today? Had a bid waiting since Tuesday now!

Sorting through them now

Gareth McCleary to Swansea 450k

Free agent, half his TM value etc

Lucas Biglia
£3 million
Anderlecht to Norwich

Moving on loan in RL from Anderlecht to Norwich, we will offer a nice sum of £3 million to make the deal go through on here. Exactly what we need, will slot right into our midfield well.

Kameni Yes
Phillips No, 6m wasnt it
Cesar Yes
Buttner No, meet the real life price
Carvalho Yes, but no idea why he wants him
McCleary Yes
Biglia No, 6.3m

Buttner
3.9m
we want him tot join are first team and he will recive chances.

United payed the same amount in RL.

All the papers say 5 Million but fine I'll bid 6 Million for today's bid as my last bid was posted on Tuesday

Doesn't Gareth McCleary play for Reading now anyway?

He was a free agent at the start of the game

Fine, Can I go ahead & confirm the Phillips deal now then ??

You might as well but thats it for the day

Joey Barton - 2m
QPR to West Ham
Looks like he'll be kicked out of the club anyway, and we would snap him up.

Barton plays for Stoke iirc, certainly was bought by Norwich

Raheem Sterling
£0
Liverpool to Everton

Liverpool did not choose this exciting youngster for their squad so we would love to snap him up. He won't have to move house or anything so that must be a big plus. Will be pushing for a starting place straight away.

He plays for Spurs

He does? Really? I was sure he wasnt in the league!

Yep I made sure I snapped him up a few weeks back.

#spursscoutsgottherefirst

don't suppose he's available?

Not keen to lose him, think the lad is class and as you can see on the homepage I was promoting him playing before the game. Would have to make it worthwhile.

Kevin Mirallas
Olmypiakos to Stoke City
£5.3m

Kevin has moved from Greece to Everton in real life, but (to my knowledge) he has not moved yet in this game, and Everton haven't tried to invest in him. We would be willing to pay the same transfer fee and give Kevin the first team football he so desires, as long as he can cope with competition from Michael Owen and Peter Crouch.

Kjaer to west brom

£5m

Going to have another punt at this as the window closes this week irl and he is still unwanted at Wolfsburg.

since these where not answered can we bid again? #
as my last bid was on the 24th ?

Sung Yong Ki

5.5m to Swansea

Signed in real life etc

You can bid everyday even if we don't answer.

We'll get the latest answers up later.

Karim Benzema
£25m (Depending on accepting Lawyer offer)

We would like Karim to join us at OT , he will start all games when he is Available and we think he would fit well into our system.
United have been after him in real Life before

Alexander Frei
£2 Million
Basel To Southampton

Reason: With his career winding down after retiring from International Football, and now starting to play a bit part role at Basel, Southampton would like to offer him probably his last chance at 33 to move to the Premier League! With Basel having a sticky start to the season and set to crash out of the Champions League Qualifiers this could be the perfect opportunity for Frei to finally try his luck in the English leagues.

Mateo Mussachio
6m
Villarreal to Tottenham

Reason: Villarreal were relegated last season so will find it increasingly difficult to keep hold of their best players and Rossi has already left to join Liverpool in this league. Mussachio fits the bill of Spurs ethos of attracting young players on the brink of achieving greatness.

(did have a look and couldn't see a bid for him, but correct me if I'm wrong)

Victor Moses
£8m
Wigan to Fulham
He may have moved to Chelsea in real life but as the younger brother of the European champions were aspiring to push for European football. We've got a very good midfield and want to build on that with Moses. He's young power and very talented and will add some youth to our midfield.


We can guarantee hell play a lot more for us than Chelsea IRL

Buttner Yes
Kjaer Nope, same as before.
Mirallas No
Ki Yes
Benzema Yes
Frei Yes
Mussachio Yes
Moses Yes

Hang on, Moses joins Chelsea in RL but signs for Fulham, while Mirallas joins Everton in RL but wouldn't sign for Stoke?

No consistency, and its a joke.

Mats Hummels
£23m

We would like him to follow in Shinjis footsteps and join us in the prem. he will be very important to are league wining campaign as well as getting a champions league spot.

We feel this will be a great step for him and we all ready have a German player in Schurrle.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2143918/United-chasing-50m-Dortmund-trio-Sir-Alex-eyes-Kagawa-Lewandowski-Hummels.html

Dede - 8m
Vasca Da Gama to West Ham

No real challenge left for him in the Brazilian league and we would like to offer him a chance with him being the main man in our defense. He will get much more exposure at West Ham.

Maurice Edu
Rangers to Stoke City
£500k

Moving there in real life, £500k fee quoted in the Daily Mirror.

I am also in the market for a decent ST for rather cheap and take advantage of the Spanish economic problems at many of the clubs. I would like to offer Valencia 20m for Roberto Soldado. Valencia as we know have terrible financial problems and have had to off load their best players in recent years (Villa, Mata, Silva, Alba). 20m for a cash strapped Valencia would enable them to buy 4/5 players and build a squad in order to maintain their top 3 place in La Liga, as well as give them a chance to get out of the group stage of the CL.

http://www.valenciacf.com/contenidos/Actualidad/Especiales/2009/06/Noticia_18682.html?__locale=en

Edu - Yes
Hummels - No, it says in your link they don't plan to sell the other 2.
Dede - No, aiming higher
Soldado - No, rejected interest from Spurs, signed a new contract and said he intends to honour it

http://www.thesportreview.com/tsr/2012/08/tottenham-transfer-target-roberto-soldado-valencia/

what if i make it 30m?

Make the bid Bull and we will consider it

Fabrice
£2.5m
Malaga to West Ham
Malaga are in trouble financially and need to sell players. This youngster hasn't started a league game for Malaga at all and we are making a big offer for the prospect.

Javi Garcia
£24m
Benfica to Liverpool

In demand player who although his agent has stated he wants to stay at the club, Benfica will be open to offers as they have yet to receive any but a decent offer may tempt them. I think £24 is slightly over priced for him but Liverpool are desperate for CDM after selling Ramires for £20m. I think offering more than what Liverpool got for Ramires should sway Benfica and will do the club good to recieve that sort of money. Don't forget, Ramires was sold for £30m despite being one of their most important players. Every player has a price, and £24m is a serious offer. The offer is also the figure quoted by their president as his buy out clause figure.

Esteban Granero to Swansea for 5m

15m release clause for a european team

Apparently having a medical at QPR tomorrow, we'll nip in with a bid for Granero here, a reduced fee since there is a year to run on his deal.

http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11711/8031772/QPR-in-Granero-talks

Hummels Yes
Garcia Yes
Fabrice Yes
Granero No

Esteban Granero to Swansea for 5m

15m release clause for a european team

Apparently having a medical at QPR tomorrow, we'll nip in with a bid for Granero here, a reduced fee since there is a year to run on his deal.

http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11711/8031772/QPR-in-Granero-talks

Fabrice signed

Stephane M'Bia
6.5m
Marseille to West Ham
We want to bring in this player who will be a first teamer for us. Marseille finished 10th in Ligue 1 which is outside of the European places. Financially they aren't doing great and he has been linked to the Premier League through QPR.

http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/2896/premier-league/2012/08/29/3339713/mbia-claims-qpr-move-is-nearly-complete-following-months-of?source=breakingnews

Norwich City

Diego Lugano
£5 million
PSG to Norwich

We want to bring in Diego as he is the the final piece to our puzzle. At PSG he is now 5th choice CB, so he has no chance of gametime. Here at Norwich we will not only give him guaranteed first team football, but he would also be made captain, as he could lead us into battle very well. The £5 million is double his TM fee and money is pretty irrelevant to PSG anyways, so they would take it

.

He plays for Spurs

Fair enough.

New day technically so I'll put my bid in now so I have my two players ready for Everton.

Klass Jan Huntelaar
£17M
Schalke to Liverpool

Buy out clause of 20m euro's which is £17m. Been linked with the PL many times and as he is in his late 20's, he won't get many more opportunities. We can offer him first team football and to spear head our attack. Linked with us in real life too.

Oscar
£20 mil
to Chelsea

Moved IRL.
