First topic message reminder :

Please can anyone who is in the realistic league and can see this please post below!!

I'd say yes on Moses, Wigan chairman is always happy to sell a player for a certain fee and Elmo's Fulham is a contender for Europe.

I would say yes to Moses. The cash is there, and I think he would go to Fulham.

I will put up definate answers tomorrow, or you can do it now GSC

Seriously? Moses would join Fulham in this league despite joining Chelsea in RL, yet Mirallas wouldn't join Stoke because he's joined Everton in RL?

Absolute joke.

If anyone can truly justify how Fulham are closer to Chelsea than Stoke are to Everton then I'll back down, if not I might as well quit.

I can't say on yours Marky, from what I've read on Mirallas is that it seems the opposite, he turned down the bigger club to guarantee more game time.

Moses though it's shown in RL that if Dave Whelan gets an offer he's happy with then the player goes and Fulham in this league are better than the one in RL.

If Mirallas turned down Arsenal for Everton to get more gametime, why wouldn't he turn down Arsenal for Stoke to get more game time (considering Everton haven't put a bid in in this league)?

I'm all for Moses to Fulham, I just think Mirallas should currently be a Stoke player on here. And there has been no justifyable reason as to why not IMO.

And Benzema was a yes? This is by a mile, the most unrealistic realistic league ever.

Before anyone mentions Stoke signing Ashley Young, I'm referring to Foreign Transfers.

Benzema, Higuain, Di Maria, Montolivo and Llorente. All moved to the "realistic" Premier League. But Kevin Mirallas joining Stoke over Everton? Madness!

Genuinely, this Mirallas thing has annoyed me. Either reconsider his transfer or I will quit. Call it toys out of the pram, I don't care. Its stupid.

Put it up again tomorrow and I will reconsider. I'm not in the mood now. Night.

Benzema maybe should have been a bit more, but others agreed with it
Higuain has been linked to Chelsea on a number of occasions in the past
Di Maria was linked with Chelsea in the summer
Montolivo didn't have a club on here and signed for Liverpool
Llorente's not signing a new contract with his club and wants a move

I think it's a case of too many cooks on foreign transfers. I think it should be down to maybe two people who can do it properly and daily, as it's been all over the place at the moment.

If I was answering these today;
Benzema - No, he wouldn't leave Real Madrid as he's in the first XI
Higuain - No, same as Simon Kjaer, until he actually leaves he shouldn't move
Di Maria - No, he wouldn't leave Real Madrid as he's in the first XI
Montolivo - No, he's joined AC Milan in RL, wouldn't leave Italy to go to Liverpool
Llorente - No, see Higuain.

I think its a case of TSJ being put in charge and not sticking around.

My point is that all these get accepted when they arguably shouldn't, yet transfers like Mirallas and Kjaer get rejected.

I am going to completely step down from all running duties. When the second season starts, I will do the European cups if you want. Other than that I want to have no responsibilities

Lets compromise then.

Mirallas goes through, 10m buyout fee for a club in Europe should Stoke not end up in Europe at the end of the season?

Trebs if you could run the European Cups that would be great, because I have no idea how I would work it

GSC, I like that idea.

Yep, I think top 8 shouldn't be in FA Cup though as it's easier to run that way and then teams like West Ham can win something to help them with foreign transfers.

I will mull it over.

Deal. Can I confirm it?

Fine

Hummels - No. In the article Bull quoted himself, it says:
"We expect Kagawa to go, but no amount of money will persuade us to sell the others [Lewandowski and Hummels]."

Dede - ??

I'm just going to quickly do today's bid.

It's Maurice Edu, for the £500k fee quoted in the Mirror yesterday, as he's moving to Stoke in real life.

Hummels - No. No way in hell Dortmund sell him as the article and Trebs say.
Dede - No. He has been linked with the likes of AC Milan and Man City so I don't think he would go to West Ham if I am honest.

http://footylatest.com/man-city-set-their-sights-on-highly-rated-brazilian-defender/29494

Fine by me Olly

Hummels - No, very unlikely to leave Dortmund
Dede - Sorry but no, while you could quote Tevez and Mascherano leaving for West Ham, Dede has been linked with bigger and better clubs.

Javi Martinez has a £31.7m release clause

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2194620/Javi-Martinez-cost-Manchester-City-31-7m.html?ito=feeds-newsxml

Edu Yes
Hummels No
Dede No
Soldado No - Signed a new contract and says he intends to honour it

Looks fair. I'd be inclined to say Yes to Soldado but if he's said he's staying put then fair enough.

I am with GSC on those. There was no bid for Martinez was there Trebs?

There was but he made 2 then deleted Martinez

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

From 2 weeks ago.

Oh right. I am happy with those 4 answers, and everyone else seems to be.

Just say the reasons for

Hummels - No cos Dortmund won't sell.
Dede - Is off to a bigger clubs like AC Milan.
Soldado - No cos what GSC said

I'd be inclined to say yes to 30m for Hummels. Massive amount of money for a CB

It is a tough one ain't it. I'll tell Bull to put the offer in, gives us a day to decide.

Also has the box been turned off?

Yep

Ok I am off then. Not around much tomorrow but will be on the hunt for a CB, seeming as I sold two to foreign offers.

Anybody got any going before I go?

Hummels - Yes, 30m is a ton of cash for a CB.
Fabrice- Yes, I'm not fussed enough over him to have any complaints.
Garcia- Yes, links match and he'd go Liverpool.

I had a bid rejected for Javi Garcia early on

Hummels - No.

That was TSJ not me.

Also he has a link acknowledging a 24m release clause

I know, I'm just saying if you want it to be consistent like it should be then it should be a no. I personally think it should be a yes though, if that makes sense.

Aye, I get your point, but we can't really say no given the links. Call it new evidence I guess

Also yours was 14m, not his release clause of 24m I think

Yeah it wasn't 24m. But if it's not enough, the correct price is meant to be posted. TSJ was saying no at any price.

Ah well shout at TSJ next time you see him lol. I think I still lean to yes

No reply from cherries.

I think Hodgey should be brought in.

I am going to see if he posts tactics in Euro Div or not. If not he aint gonna be around, so we can then bring in Hodgey if of course he wants to as well

Cherry said he was going to be away 2-3 weeks so due back soon i think

Granero - No. Not that he wouldn't go to Swansea over QPR, just that I'd say wait until he actually moves to QPha, as I'm skeptical he's actually going. If he moves, bid again and it'd be a yes.

Fair enough, the other 3

Other three all yes. Hummels and Garcia due to the silly money involved, and Fabrice as I've never heard of him, he can't be that good

Thats my reasoning lol.

I'll wait for Ollys opinions if they're forthcoming then psot them.

I would agree with Marky. Yes to all of them purely because Hummels and Garcia is money the clubs simply wouldnt refuse. But Granero until he actually moves is a no
