Important End of Season information -- please read

STAR PLAYER BIDS ARE OPEN

Star Player bids will commence Wednesday (15th), and run to Friday (17th) at midnight, when bidding is closed. Who got who will be posted on Saturday all being well - and assuming it can't be done earlier. If you miss out initially, there will be a second round bidding process and you may make another bid on a player. All bids will be sealed and PM'd to Hero and sodhat. It should be made clear that you cannot make a big bid on a Star Player, and then not have the cash all at once. All money must be paid immediately, or you miss out. We aren't doing IOU's on it, and that applies to everyone.

To qualify for the second round you must have submitted a first round bid - you can't just wait and see what's left. If there are exceptional circumstances as to why you missed the deadline you may appeal to the runners, but these circumstances absolutely do not include "I was playing Ultimate Team for 4 days with the curtains closed."

Morning all,

Are QPR trying to side the Chelsea squad, which won us the league?

Bosingwa, Carvalho, SWP; They'll probably be making an audacious bid for Lamps and Terry next Laugh

I haven't got any money left sod so no sp for me.

With the number of guys they've brought in I imagine they'll take a few games to gel etc.

To be followed by the signings of Pele, Beckenbauer and Platini no doubt!

Morning girls.

Do I vote on the tactic page or do I PM someone?

It's a shame Nadeem that you are only voting for £2m, I don't think we should get money for voting on this match.

by Bull Wed 22 Aug 2012, 10:39 am

do we get 2m for voting on it then?>

See your point, but it was the same for those that were out of the cup and voting on other teams. I lost in the first round, and for the next rounds I was getting 2m just for voting. Was the same for the Cup Final as well

Twist where would prefer Forrest to be playing?
As it looks like he's off to PSG.

PL.....but I knew Chelsea's bid was just rubbish reporting. His rating will go down because he would be in the French league. Only hope is that he stars for them in Europe. He is a quality player, and I was hoping to use him and Baines to great effect this season. I think I under utilized them last season.

by **Hero** Wed 22 Aug 2012, 11:54 am

I think it's a good move for him tbh, at Juve he wasn't used correctly either. What is it though with PSG and Serie A? They're cleaning up on the Italian league, surely Ancelotti saw a few guys from the Premier League that he liked the look of during his time at Chelski?

by TwisT Wed 22 Aug 2012, 12:03 pm

Probably because of the lower fee's. Look at the inflated PL to PL transfers that have happened over the last few seasons for players not worth half of that.

Latest reports are PSG are actually not that interested. There are a few rumours going round for certain players at the moment (as you would expect). Hence my Marin problem.....sell a player likely to a bench warmer for a player rumoured to be going to a PL club OR keep the PL player, bench warmer or not.

Feels like dejavu.......had these debates with myself when it came to selling Jovetic and Ramirez. Got one of them wrong, which I am still kicking myself for. No way did I think Southampton though. I think Liverpool have missed a trick there.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Wed 22 Aug 2012, 12:06 pm

To be fair, I don't know if Ramirez is definately going to Southampton. Not hearing a lot about the deal at the moment, might have hit a snag

by Bull Wed 22 Aug 2012, 12:07 pm

Ramierz is not joining Southampton though as Bologna said 12.5m is not enough

by TwisT Wed 22 Aug 2012, 12:14 pm

How much was Downing? Same sort of player, but Ramirez so much better, and worth, let's say 15m.

There is your answer Hero

by Marky Wed 22 Aug 2012, 12:15 pm

Southampton will pay the extra IMO. They won't (or would be silly to) pass up the opportunity of a class player joining them and possibly helping them stay up, which would be worth a lot more than the likely £15m transfer fee.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Wed 22 Aug 2012, 12:18 pm

This season, staying up is of even more importance, because next season is when the new TV deal comes in, and a lot lot more money for clubs with it. That's why it is crucial that we as Norwich stay up this year, so that next year we will have that TV money, whilst being debt free, then we can push on with making ourselves an established Premier League team. Don't won't to miss the gravy train

by nadeem2099 Wed 22 Aug 2012, 1:05 pm

Cassano and Pazzini have swapped clubs. Cassano has gone to inter and Pazzini has signed for AC in a trade involving the 2 clubs.

by FIFA Diva Wed 22 Aug 2012, 1:14 pm

That is one stupid deal.

by nadeem2099 Wed 22 Aug 2012, 1:19 pm

I think Inter gave something like 7mill euros on top.

Hazard getting owned.. laughing

Talks between Gaston Ramirez and Southampton have broken down. Not going there. Could be staying at Bologna Whistle

by TwisT Wed 22 Aug 2012, 2:51 pm

Thank god....sorry Nando

Haha no not at all :P

He was quality against Wigan. Really looking forward to seeing him against Reading tonight!! His flair has been compared to Zola "D

I know it's nothing to do with Football, but I thought this video of Elmo and Ricky Gervais was worth sharing :P

I want Torres to get a hatful. One of the reasons I brought him was Chelsea's fixtures the first 6 games. Some nice easy ones.

If people know he's available for 12m now someone will buy him before the deadline

by **Hero** Wed 22 Aug 2012, 4:47 pm

Are Utd just going around buying up squad players at present, hearing Hector Hererra is a done deal.

by Marky Wed 22 Aug 2012, 5:05 pm

Of all the people to wish me a happy birthday on my Facebook wall, by far the most famous one was Mark "Brighty" Bright.

Also seeing how long it takes for Peter Crouch to be signed up Whistle

by Russell_Elmo Wed 22 Aug 2012, 7:31 pm

Chelsea vs. Reading!!! Very Happy

Come on you blues! (Clearly watching this game 'legally')

by Russell_Elmo Wed 22 Aug 2012, 8:02 pm

Hazard is quality!!!!! Enough said!!

by Fernando Wed 22 Aug 2012, 8:05 pm

I don't think you can judge people after 2 and a bit games Elmo

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Wed 22 Aug 2012, 8:06 pm

Although Nando so far he does look to real deal. And we can only go off what he has done so far...

by Fernando Wed 22 Aug 2012, 8:08 pm

Olly wrote:Although Nando so far he does look to real deal. And we can only go off what he has done so far...

I shall reserve judgment to when he actually plays in a big game lets fact it's he's played well against Wigan/Reading , Not so well vs Man City

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Wed 22 Aug 2012, 8:10 pm

I don't think he was that bad against City, he was decent. And you can only play what's in front of you

And how dare you doubt the credentials of Chris Gunter and the great Emmerson Boyce warning

by Bull Wed 22 Aug 2012, 8:11 pm

if anyone puts any offers on my page tormo im most likely not to be round as its a big day tomro!

by Russell_Elmo Wed 22 Aug 2012, 8:12 pm

For someone that has come in and made his mark already, he looks confident and looks willing to receive the ball!

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Wed 22 Aug 2012, 8:16 pm

And that is why Courtois should be at Chelsea challenging for Cech's number 1 spot. He is rubbish now, had a good 1/2 month period end of last season, which papered over the rest of his bad season
