First topic message reminder :

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

KK babes. What 4 teams are they? Now going to do injuries, so sort of need to know.

(They dont get injuries right?)

Villa/Southampton/Stoke and Swansea don't get injuries and answer my bid

I will do later.

What do we think on these guys then?

Good work Olly

Cavani - Yes
Albiol - Would cost £12m

Agree with those Trebs

Flamini guys?

I think yes

Sorry but why on earth is Cavani a yes whilst Falcao/Neymar are no's
Cavani did not move in RL nor have Arsenal won the league which were the two reasons as to why I couldn't get them.

I'm not by the way trying to say Cavani should be a no as well as it shouldn't, if a Champions League Club came in for him offering that fee then he'd move.
My issue though is the reasons for rejecting my offers for both Falcao and Neymar should have been applied in the case as well.

Neither Chelsea nor Spurs are currently the league champions.
Neither player moved in RL.
The price for Falcao was NOT in question, it was brought up as a reason to why it was refused.

There's a lot of evidence pointing to Falcao having to be sold at some point soon from reputable sources and to state I have to win the league first when clearly Atletico are having their hand forced by UEFA to take the cash and the player himself has previously moved from a CL club (Porto) to one that is an occasional CL club in Atletico.

Neymar wouldn't join spurs even if you win the league tbh He'll end up in spain regardless of debt issues like Beckham their claim he'll pay himself off with shirt sales etc


Falcao : http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11827/8153242/Atletico-Madrid-have-hinted-that-they-could-be-tempted-into-selling-Radamel-Falcao

They'd sell for 48.3m at end of season

"I can say for sure, though, that he will stay with us until the end of the season

Fair enough Nando, but they weren't the reasons given which is my issue.
The price was not raised as an obstacle, nor was it as end of the season.
Simply that I wasn't yet the champion or that the player hadn't moved in RL which therefore should be levied for similar level of players such as Cavani or not used as reasons.

i thought 1st time round you were told 50m for him

Higuain could go if want him now have Cavani

As far as I can recall it was 50m Euros rather than Sterling which is about what I offered.

try 48.3m then surely if met buy out clause you should be able to get him

Their is a cheaper option but i shall keep that one up my sleeve incase need a forward

I've met buy out clauses before and still got turned down!

#notbitter

I said win the league and it's a different story, and Neymar wouldn't move, IMO, to anyone in the premier league. Maybe if you won champions league. See how things shape up at the end of the season

I currently have 1.5 votes

Will vote tomorrow

Any chance a decision on foreigns?

I vote yes on Subotic

Flamini - ?
Albiol – Yes
Mancienne – Yes
Defour – Would need £14m
Hernanes – No. Has turned down bigger teams and wouldn’t want to move at the moment.
Subotic – Requires £20m
Tevez – No. Would not go back to Man United, in my opinion.
Willian – Yes.
Alvarez - ?

Will send FA Cup predictions now GSC

Ideally answers should be given ASAP due to the tactics deadline tonight.

I'm happy with them Trebs.

I would say Yes to both Flamini and Alvarez. I agree on Subotic, I dont think £15m would be enough, and there is no way City would sell to Utd

any chance foreigns being answered would like to do tactics

I can't see why not tbh Nando.

I would say Yes to Adrian. What about everyone else?

Yes

General Question guys which side would you rather have

--------------------- Cech ---------------------
------------------------------------------------
- Ivanovic ---- Terry ------ Cahill ------- Cole
------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------
------------- Veloso ------ Carrick --------------
------------------- Lampard --------------------
------------------------------------------------
--- Di Maria ------------------------- J Mata ---
------------------------------------------------
-------------------- Higuain --------------------

Subs:
Coutious, Luiz, Shaw, Essien, Gourcuff, Marin, Piazon, Torres

OR


---------------------- Cech
Ivanovic ------ Cahill ------- Terry --- Cole
------------- Moutinho -- Montolivo
Valencia ------------- Mata ----------- Willian
--------------------- Cavani

Subs: Courtois/Yanga Mbiwa/Essien/Veloso/Gourcuff/Kalou/Adrian


Trying to figure if ive made it worse or not

Deffo your one Nando, I didnt like Pull's Chelsea side, Mata needs to be played as AM for sure

It's difficult to say. You've got better players at CM but I'm not sure if it's balanced right.

Whilst Cavani is on fire Id say with wingers like Valencia you'd be better with a Llorente esque striker up front.

Marky, are you happy to play the game as normal?

Make him forefit

Nah i've no issue, i've called him on playing Rossi upfront anyway so wouldn't mind seeing how it pans out!

Not the best to win it I know but I'm taking it!
1 game to go and probably a +8 GD

Championees! Championees!

Unless, because this is a realistic league, you go into administration. Hazard, dzogaev and the rest of them have high wages. 10 point deduction.

With the money from the title win and guaranteed CL football we're raking it in!

Russell text me and asked if I could let you all know he's not able to get online at the moment so cannot vote and will accept an extra injury next week.

I said no

I don't think I am going to have time write reports up tonight, as am going out from 7:30-9:30, so will just have to put up the results with feedback!

Unless anybody else will do reports?

Sorry for not voting got distracted by man jumping from space

I will do a final day live text, since I'm not involved in any of the action. My guess is it'll be Monday night next week, so everyone can do predictions.

I'm a bit busy so if two people can do foreign offers/injuries that'd be great, I'll put all the work into the live text etc.

I would need to know who needs an extra injury besides me

Also Marky the FA cup final will be next week

Will injuries apply like in previous rounds? Meaning i'd have to choose which gets my first XI, the Cup final or the Relegation fight

Or will it be with normal injuries?

Nah everyone can play in the final, I'm not that mean

Knew that the week in which I'm nailed on for the title I'd get utter pants foreign offers!

I do the best with what I'm given

Last two weeks I've had huge offers for Bale etc but couldnt get in quality replacements.
Now the title is virtually in my hands the cash isn't

Can I get an answer for my bid for Kuba?

Think Fidel's going to hold onto it for now

Blazczykowski - Yes
Majeed Waris - Requires £2.5m.

Also Defour needs to be explained. Personally just thought it needed a bit more than 10m, Porto aren't the kind of side who sell cheaply, look at Falcao, Hulk prices.

Hero is Majeed Waris because he is major pace abuse on FIFA?
