It has been 4 gameweeks since that last one. The FA Cup took up a week. I think leaving it another week would have been stretching the transfers a little bit, it was pretty dead.

General Note Hodgey has a reputation of leaving quite often from games

What was he on about starting a new league? Why was he saying that here?

Hodgey often leaves, but he's a good manager. I'd take him on board, whether it's Villa or Southampton.

You gotta take him on board. It aint fair for Enigma to run two sides

I've PM'd cherries. It's only fair to give him a chance to see what's happening. I'll post his response on here when it comes

I think I could live with Cherries being booted

Anyway sort out the foreigns

Buttner Yes
Kjaer No
Mirallas No, still think he'd want higher
Ki Mine
Benzema Given Madrid already sold Higuain on this, no unless we go by the basis that Bull sells Rooney to Real
Frei Yes, but its a nothing signing really
Mussachio Yes

Don't worry about that on Benzema GSC. Foreigns will sort themselves out by the end of the season.

I'll go through them now and post my views

Well then its a no due to RMs lack of strikers

No, I mean that Benzema shouldn't be a no based on that is what I'm saying

Look on the European cup, I am not doing the League Cup as well for the bottom 8 clubs. So it would have to be Top 8 clubs only. And Trebs if you can make it work, be my guest, but I personally wont have the time to do it all

Olly, I'll run the European cups

Maybe have the FA Cup for the bottom 8 instead then, cut the league cup altogether?

Top 8 get an extra cup comp, everybody in the FA cup, no league cup.

Simples

Yeah what GSC said. I aint doing an FA and League Cup

Buttner Yes
Kjaer No, come back after the transfer window shuts and it'll be a yes if he hasn't moved.
Mirallas Unsure
Ki Yes
Benzema Yes
Frei Yes
Mussachio Yes

And I meant exactly the same.

So:
Top 4 + 4 Foreign Teams - Champions League
5th-8th + 4 Foreign Teams - Europa League
Bottom 8 - FA Cup

No League Cup

No everyone in the FA cup.

I would say a yes to all the foreign offers, apart from Kjaer, and agree with Trebs's advice to come back after the window shuts, and if aint moved, he can leave

Alright, I don't mind either. Just thought it'd be easier that way as European/Cup games can be all done at the same time.

Hodgey can have my side if he's still interested

Hmm I will consider it Trebs. Because it would make it easier to do, as both can play at the same time

Why Nando?

Im quite content with ED/WWA tbh and if he wants in then he can have it.

Also you do guys even read these links

from the 2nd one by Benzema

“But that is a long way in the future, not something I would even consider at the moment.”

We shall see what Cherries says Nando, because we might need you if that is ok?

And I havent had time to read the links, I've been playing cricket all day

Now I properly think about it, Benzema moved for €35m. So around £28m. I think £30m would be required for the deal.

Buttner Yes
Kjaer Yes, I'm bored of the Kjaer question!
Mirallas Yes
Ki Yes
Benzema No, Real wouldn't sell
Frei Yes
Mussachio Yes

tbh I dont think Kjaer is moving either. Maybe we should just let WBA have him

Kjaer will go to better than WBA if he moves. European at minimum, the only other link was Laudrup being a Dane also.

But Kjaer isnt moving. And I personally think he would jump at the chance to play in the PL

If he isn't moving thats more ammo for a no surely.

On that note, Mirallas moved to Everton who aren't in Europe

Buttner Yes
Kjaer no
Mirallas no
Ki Yes
Benzema No
Frei Yes
Mussachio Yes

Don't know quite what the fuss is with people even wanting Kjaer, anytime I've seen him he's been a crock of carp.

Fixed

They are typically around the European places if not in it however.

Nando you arse

??

He is pants though, being I'm getting Mussachio who probably would have moved to any of them wanting Kjaer given the choice of there or the Spanish 2nd division and Mussachio is tons better but probably wasn't amazing in Football Manager 2009.

Name the Potteries based side who made it to the knockout stages of the Europa League last season?

Nando, I mean for your "No" to Mirallas to Stoke.

I considered Musacchio before this game started, but doubted too many had seen him play.

Also he got rejected for Norwich.

What has that got to do with him going to Spurs lol. He was rejected because we weren't big enough for him

Because they made it to the FA cup final. Meanwhile Everton finished in a credible 7th while Stoke were bottom half.

If you're saying that 1 cup run is equivalent to consistently being top 8 then fine, but I disagree.

Hero saying people rejected for Kjaer couldve got Musacchio Olly.

Swansea being roughly the same stature as Norwich

I'm a big fan of Musacchio, had him for ages on the other league.

He wouldn't join Stoke/Swansea sorry but he just wouldn't Everton are consistently in the top 8 except 05-06 which was the year after they finished 4th

Stoke aren't even a top 10 side

I think it's hard to say no to this that or the other when you get players like Michu joining Swansea and Ramirez a gnats whisker from joining Southampton.

Michu was a Laudrup thing tho, and Ramirez was chasing the dollar/pretty blatantly wanted to use Southampton as a stepping stone the following year

Anyway someone needs to finalise answers

Dunno about Moses
