Realistic Premier League II

I'd be happy to do it Olly Quite like the challenge of getting them away from the drop zone, even though I need to do that with Villa Would i able to dip into the transfer market while in charge of Soton, or just let things stay as they are...?

If cherrie decideds he can no longer do it, I don't mind taking over both teams until a new manager can be found then they can have the choice of which team they want!

I think a certain Ramirez would help!

I did suggest Ramirez for Southampton

Yeah you can dip into the transfer market Enigma. Just keep track of all you have done etc on the Saints page, so if we get a new guy the whole thing can be updated. Or you could just make an interim page, whatever you want

He seems like a decent player. Not watched any football in Italy for a while now so can only go on what you guys are saying... but if he can get into the Uruguay team he must be decent

Might have to run it by with Cherries to see if I can make any changes to the current sqaud if he's online this week. Might have to do with all you kind managers helping me out here!

He's very decent, how on earth Southampton are possibly getting him in RL amazes me, still think Liverpool will nip in and steal him.

Yeah the deal with Ramirez seems to have hit a snag me thinks. Apparantly player and club have agreed a deal, but Saints and Bologna haven't and because the player and club have agreed a deal, Bologna are using that to get more cash out of Saints

I need funds, anyone want Gerrard?

I've pm'ed Cherrie about Southampton, and have offered to co-run the team with him for the rest of the season. I'm hoping to here from him very soon and will make a announcement when I hear anything from him.

Foreign Offers up

Just a bit of an update for you guys.

I'll be co-running Southampton with cherries for the rest of the season now. I'll be posting my own squad page later this afternoon and will be looking to make a few deals

Injuries are up

2. Would you like a 500k incentive for predicting results?

In regards to this question, I noticed hero commenting on the amount of people voting on games. Maybe there could be sanctions for people who don't (extra injury)

Also, if it's possible, move the tactic submission forward to wednesday/Thursday. so there is more time for votes to be sent. I know I've been really busy over the past few weekends and finding it hard to find time to sit down and vote.

I suppose we could move the tactics submission forward to Thursday night, but not Wednesday.

I think the extra injury might be the way to go actually, now I think about it more.

Also has anyone seen Punting around? On here or other sites we shall not name?

Totally agree!

Got the 10m foreign offer for Dawson spot on

#neverdoubtGSC

That's a bit like my offer for Cazorla that was turned down only for Nando to swoop him and get him.

Arsenal
On 7 August 2012, it was officially announced that Cazorla had signed a long-term deal with Arsenal in the Premier League, for a fee reported to be in the region of £15 million

You put an article saying malaga wanted 20m

#shotyourselfinthefoot

The article said the following:

Arsene Wenger expects to complete the club record £15million transfer of Santi Cazorla by Tuesday.

Though Malaga are holding out for £20m, Arsenal hope a debt deadline imposed on the financially-stricken Spanish club will seal the deal.

So Malaga wanted £20m, but due to their debt had to take less than they wanted.
A bit like Atletico Madrid people could say?

A lot of people said the fee was around 20m.

It came out afterwards it was 15m if we're being fair

And if we're being honest, Adebayor decided against signing for Spurs so far irl

Hindsight is 20/20, you can only use the information available at the time

Regarding Adebayor it's the wage thats the issue, not the fee. From what I've read City would let him go for zilch to offload him off their books but Spurs can't break their wage cap.

Aye, but I had Nilmar turned down on the basis of wages.

I'm still undecided but as I say we can only use the information as it stands.

I think you were lucky not to get Nilmar, he's ended up at some Qatari club where he'll disappear off the radar entirely.

Hey Everybody!

New Soton page is now up. It may take slightly longer to respond to deals as me & Cherrie's will be discussing everything, yes i've seen your offer Olly Could somebody please do me a favour and let me know which players cherrie released as on the transfer's it just says "a lot" and I don't think the page has been updated since!

Cherries released the following:

Danny Seaborne - 100K
Jack Stephens - 100K
James Ward-Prowse - 150K
Lee Barnard - 400K
Tadanari Lee - 600K
Dean Hammond - 700K

And you have picked up Puncheon

Re predictions I'm on iPhone Internet currently so it makes it quite cumbersome, should have normal Internet again soon.

That's fine Ent. I should imagine we will make a decision on predictions sooon

Re predictions, I use the weekends to play rugby, get drunk, see the Mrs, sleep. Last thing I want to do is sit on here and vote.. Can we bring it forward to make Fridays available?

Another game without scoring then Nick I see #nogoalsequalsnowins

Anyone wish to purchase John Guidetti off me?
Already he's scored a couple of goals in the two games he's played for me, in real life he scored over 40 last season so would be a great addition to a team mid or lower in the league that's looking for a striker they'd be unable to attain in foreign bids.
Willing to let him go for the price I paid which is 8m.

Adebayor has now signed for Spurs IRL

#justsayin

He signed for Swansea on this

#ain'tevenmad

Spurs getting shut of Dawson in RL is good news for Caulker, expect him to pairing Vertonghen for a fair number of games.

Anyone wish to beat this foreign offer?

Johnny Heitinga - £10m

Also Guidetti still available for 8m.

Sorry for having not been about, and missing teams/results last week, I've been laid up ill for all of the lady week.

Apologies again and no to 2.50 for Nani Hero

welcome back puntingred hope everything's ok now...

Hero, could you possibly hang fire on selling Heitinga, I'm weighing up buying him for Aston Villa, all depends if I can raise the funds for him and we can work out some kind of deal, when are you likely posting your tactics so I can try and put together some kind of deal..?

I'm freeing up Heitinga in order to complete the deal on Llorente so as soon as you can would be good

No worries on the Nani deal Punting, I was having second thoughts on it myself after Monday night

I'll make a decision by tomorrow, allows you a bit of time so you can bring a player in with the cash...

TACTICS PAGE UP PEEPS

What a goal from Pogrebnyak!!!

- Di Maria
- Mata
- Marin
- Gourcuff
- Torres
- Higuain

Best front 3 + positions?

I know what I'd pick but I'm playing you next week!

According to a few fairly decent sources Spurs have agreed terms with Damiao.

#gottherefirst

#neverdoubtgsc

#imswanseaanyway

I'd play higuain over torres atm could change ovr the season though.

I'd have mata and di maria on the wings if ypu want to be more defensive in the 433. but i reckon you'd be better off having carrick/essien degending, with marin left, di maria right and mata central in a 4231

Di Maria - Torres - Mata

I'd personally go...

Di Maria---Mata---Marin
-----------Higuain---------

With Mata & Marin being able to interchange.

Raheem Sterling looking quality for Liverpool tonight.
