First topic message reminder :

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

Riether's a yes for me as well

Post em if you want

M'Bia - Yes
Lugano - Yes
Huntelaar - No. Tottenham recently had a bid rejected for Huntelaar, he would not leave Germany yet.
Oscar - No. He moved IRL for £25 million and that is the fee that would be required.
Granero - Yes (West Brom's bid)
Riether - Yes

These the final decisions, just to confirm?

Yeah trebs thats what i think. On me phone in maccy ds atm so if someone can post em plz will be appreciated

I will post them now Just wanted to double check.

Granero is no, 9m required according to Olly/Nando

That's only one link. I have this, which suggests €8m

http://www.managingmadrid.com/2012/8/30/3279197/esteban-granero-real-madrid-qpr-transfer

... And this says £8m
http://www.football365.com/transfer-blog/8033316/Live-Transfer-Blog-

Think it'd be harsh to not give him Granero if I'm honest.

Dailymail say 9m.

Can't see links.

I'm going to put Granero on hold and post the rest

If you think yes then go for it.

I think GSC should have had the chance to match the £8m bid as he was the first bidder, but that's just my opinion.

Nah realistically the first acceptable bid would negotiate with the player before I bidded. Moving onto next target anyhow

How nice of Pull to do that. Don't see how getting a couple of tabs open and a little bit of scrolling is a problem though.

Anyways Trebs remind them to send predos to you, I'm out all day so if someone could stick some answers up at some point would be much appreciated.

I will do my predos tomorrow morning

I know he was getting at it previously, it makes life a lot easier IMO. In future I will do it when I'm around.
I will get everything sorted Olly

De Guzman - Yes
Zapata - No. Moved for 4m IRL and that would have to be matched.
Schmelzer - No. 15m would be required
Pedro Leon - ????

It's the Cup this week coming isn't?
Does that mean the players injured are for that game or the week after?

If you're in the cup, you have no injuries. Any player used in the cup cannot be used in the subsequent league game though.

I explained it in the tactics bit

Sorry just seen it.

Anyone good at working out odds?

I've had 2 first team players out every week since the first week and have a squad of 25. Anyone decent at working out what the possibility of that is?

11/25 = Chance of first team player being out
2 first team players out = 11/50 = Roughly 1 in 5 = 20%

Eight weeks games = 20%/8 = 2.5%

So about 2.5% chance of having two first teamers out eight weeks in a row.

So I've been rather unlucky then.

40/1 odds

Should have had some cash on it then

Tettey - Yes
Navas - No, pull had a much bigger bid rejected two weeks ago.

It wasn't the fee that was the reason then though.

My problem remains, I don't think a club would take the risk, whens theres a more than decent chance they'd have to get rid for next to nothing after 6 months/year

De Guzman - Yes
Zapata - No. Moved for 4m IRL and that would have to be matched.
Schmelzer - No. 15m would be required
Pedro Leon - No. Don't think he himself would want to leave Getafe.
Tettey - Yes
Navas - No, same as when Pull bid, he ain't leaving Spain

If we have no objections, I am going to put these up soon

Isn't the risk though my risk?

How about a clause where an have to sell him back to Seville at the end of the season?

You can't say no to Navas ten days ago due to anxiety and yes today. I don't think the transfer should happen, but not for the reasons GSC suggested.

Pedro Leon I'd like to be accepted please, then post them

Right I am sticking those answers up.

And is it FA Cup by Tuesday and League by Thursday, or shall we just do FA Cup this week?

?????

I'm doing the cup on tuesday

Okay

Having a cup week was all when and good when everybody played

GSC when are you putting FA Cup results up and what is the predo deadline mate?

I'm still needing a centreback before I can stick my tactics up.
So far my choices are...
Take a punt in foreigns on someone probably no-one has heard of.
Bring in Jamie Carragher.

What a choice.

Do not bring in Jamie Carragher.

I was hoping not too, Mertesacker has a faster turning circle than him.
Any of the forgotten men stuck in releases decent enough for a one game show Olly? You know the lower half of the Premier League better than me.

The only three I would give a go are

Danny Collins - 800K
Leon Barnett - 1m
Winston Reid - 350K

Other than that it is slim pickings

Have you heard of Taras Burlak?

Nope.

Carragjer is the best cb you can get at short notice for the prive

I dunno.

When do you want to put up results GSC? What time is good for you?

Any chance someone can make a decision on my TP today so I can write up tactics?

If you make a decision on ollys for me

I mean he was apparently in talks but nothing happened and he is linked with l'arse

Biglia?

I reckon that'd be a yes, Anderlect are hardly European giants so a move to even an unattractive side like Norwich provides him with a much bigger shop window for a move to another bigger club a year down the line.

Anyone who plays more than 30 mins cannot play the league game at the end of the week. Tactics to be in by midnight Tuesday.

So I can bring on players from 61m and they are fine???
