First topic message reminder :

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

Yeah you might as well Trebs. Better to get the general opinion

And thank you for doing results mate, how were your days away?

Alright, I'll set up a post with an opinion poll

It was alright, I was just busy with Uni, work and other bits and bobs. Went out last night, if you follow me on twitter you'd have seen half the story

I got predictions from:
Hero
Gregers
Enigma
Bull
Captain
Ent
Marky

So everyone else needs four injuries

In fairness I've been moving into uni and gone to my dad's all day today

Norwich foreign offers:
Chris Burke - £2.5m
Diego Lugano - £6.5m

And injuries are up

Done your injuries Trebs.

Just seen Pull's quit the Chelsea job. I don't mind taking over his team in a dual role but next week it's Chelsea v Stoke so it wouldn't work.

We'll try to find a manager first, if not then probably Marky, just for the rest of the season. Next season hopefully we'll have a big reorganisation and get this league in order.

I believe it should be 5m bonus time, and if you still want to run it, manager of the month, as we've just finished gameweek 12.

It is indeed Trebs

Sorry I fell asleep before I did foreign offers last night, so will do them after school today

Want me to take over Chelsea in the short term?

If you could be Chelsea this week as well GSC until we get a new manager that would be great. Just some tactics is needed

Can someone give me my foreign offers please?

Olly, I posted some foreign offers for you a few posts up

Ok cheers didnt realise lol

Sorry GSC will be easier if Nando does it lol!

Mbiwa - Yes
N'Koulou - ???
Wisdom - Yes
Fletcher - Yes

I will say yes for all but if I were you Trebs I would go for Musacchio over N'Koulou as I reckon more people will know him

I would have got Musacchio but he's at Spuds.

Yeah I mean buy him off the Spuds lol

Just seen

They seem fine, post if you want

Fielding yes
Neymar No, he's off to Spain to avoid a kicking.
William No wants CL

I wonder in RL if Neymar will now join one of the Spanish two.

1: He wouldn't be top dog, he'd be behind CR7 at Real & Messi at Barca for top billing.
2: Spain at present are in huge financial doo doo. Neither of the big two went out and spent much this summer especially compared to previous years.
3. The Beckham law will mean whatever wage he gets will be massively taxed, add to that the top rate of tax here is reportedly coming down and he can earn a fair bit more by coming to an English club.

Neymar/Falcao - No. Come back if you win the league.

Willian - Not at the moment.

Fielding - ???

That's not a reason surely?
Avoiding a calamity I'm in the CL, also 3 points ahead and a superior GD with 3 games remaining so to say the league has to wrapped up is a touch excessive especially for the 3rd week running Damiao is out and lo and behold my other striker!

I genuinely think Neymar will go to Spain eventually.

Not sure about Falcao though, for all I've heard about Athletico being in the toilet, they did hold onto him.

In the old league that was what we did. You, right now, have nothing to go on. If you win the league it's another matter though.

But the league's looking like it's being reset? So I can't then buy him anyway surely?

If it was reset, then you'd have the same bargaining position to buy players. I.e. winning the league, being relegated, etc. would stand. The only difference would be you lose the players.

Really wanted to cash in on Bale whilst the offer was there as well, humph...

Sorry Hero, if you win the league though, you will be able to attract a better quality of players. Not the very top though, that comes with winning the champions league

Why you trying to buy a forward anyway you've already got 2 decent ones and you only ever play 1 up top

Right what we gonna say about Falcao and Huntelaar?

No to both

Falcao IF Tottenham win the league.
Huntelaar has had much bigger bids from other clubs rejected.

Sorry about not voting, have just got home from a long day out with the family at Peppa Pig World. I know. But I'm happy to accept an extra injury for both my teams for this week.

Alright Marky, it's fine, happens from time to time.

Can we have your opinions on Huntelaar and Falcao please?

Despite the link about a reduced fee for Huntelaar, it wouldn't be right to let him move for a lot less than others have bid in the same season, so its a no.

Falcao I don't even think will move, so it'd be a no whether it was Spurs, Chelsea, Man U or Arsenal.

I think Falcao will go in RL in Jan. Atletico are seriously in the mire financially at present.

Then bid in January, or when a solid link to him moving is made. At the moment the best you have is speculation.

Isn't that what everyone has on 'possible' moves? Since when did we only ever get players who have then confirmed a move?
It's more than just speculation that UEFA have imposed a embargo on any Europa League money going to Atletico and its more than speculation that the club are over £500m in debt.

If Falcao left, he'd go to a bigger club. Tottenham are not a big club. If you win the league, it's a different story. But you'll just have to wait till then.

Hero, my recent Stoke dealings;

Maurice Edu - moved IRL
Michael Kightly - moved IRL
Kevin Mirallas - moved to the Prem and has a sell-on clause if I don't make European Football
Ricardo Carvalho - strongly linked to QPR when I signed him
Maynor Figueroa - only at Wigan IRL
Andy Drury - only at Ipswich IRL

Of those, all but Mirallas have either moved IRL or are/were moving to clubs smaller than Stoke. And with Mirallas, he might not even be my player at the end of the season.

All you have to compare with Falcao is how Llorente, Di Maria, Benzema etc moved unrealistically and two wrongs don't make a right.

Moutinho- No

Anyone able to do injuries/foreign offers?

Also foreign transfers need to be posted. Moutinho is also a no for me.

I can do injuries later tonight Trebs, as long as someone does Norwich's and Reading's (don't want it to look dodgy if bads ones for them come out)

Okay, I will do those injuries. I'd be able to do foreign offers tomorrow

Ok, I will do injuries whilst watching the NFL in the early hours

Norwich
David Fox
Aaron 'Wilbrahamovic' Wilbraham
Lucas Biglia

Reading
Mikkel Andersen
Joe Mills
Alex Pearce
Additional injury if not predicted: Martin Kelly

Remember to not waste time doing injuries for the sides in the FA Cup semi finals.

GSC what is happening with the FA Cup this week?

There are 4 teams in it
