Will do now

by Guest Tue 12 Feb 2013, 9:27 am

You robbed Soddy blind, bravo

by **Afro** Tue 12 Feb 2013, 9:29 am

Feels quite even to me. He gets two starters, I get two improvements at U21 and the money I want for my TP later

by Guest Tue 12 Feb 2013, 9:30 am

You get the better full back, £14m cash, and the better of the other player swap too. I think you win on all three parts of the deal!

by sodhat Tue 12 Feb 2013, 9:32 am

I needed an attacking left back, who is actually a left back, and Dante is an upgrade to Coloccini. I didn't really want to lose Perin but goalkeepers matter so little that it seemed fair enough to push it through.

by **Afro** Tue 12 Feb 2013, 9:34 am

I think you underrate Filipe. The guy has been the best LB in La Liga for two seasons and ripped Chelsea to pieces in the supercup.

De Sciglio is decent but still learning and not at that level yet.

And don't forget he also got Dante, who has been Bayern's best CB this season

by Guest Tue 12 Feb 2013, 9:45 am

I'm not impressed with Dante, seen him four times for Bayern and the game against England on his international debut. Yet to inspire me into anything besides apathy.

I'm not under-rating Felipe, I'm over-rating De Sciglio. He's going to be Maldini-esque in longevity, and probably Costacurta-esque in ability. I'm all over him, like white on rice.

by **Afro** Tue 12 Feb 2013, 9:54 am

Dante has been the main reason for Bayern's impressive defensive record, especially away from home. He spends most of his time covering Badstuber.

You are probably right on De Sciglio, but he's not there yet. Apparantlly De Sciglio has an Azzy poster on his wall too

by Guest Tue 12 Feb 2013, 9:59 am

Damn right he has. We're both fully-paid up members of the Cool Hair Club Il Azzurini - Page 8 3559488474

Jack Cork

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Tue 12 Feb 2013, 3:06 pm

If it was Alan Cork I'd have been tempted

He will be any Cork you want him to be

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Tue 19 Feb 2013, 9:20 am

Therefore he is sulkily making his way back to you for training and you can add him back to your squad

Kroos returned begging never to be sent on loan again. he said he had to put a show on for you when he was leaving so he didnt hurt your feelings.
Oh and apparently your cafeteria food is beyond terrible

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Mon 25 Feb 2013, 2:54 pm

£1.8m for Miccoli?

Sorry mate. I know thats his TM value but being Italian & a good striker I cant replace for that much.

by Guest Mon 25 Feb 2013, 3:21 pm

Toni Kroos = £35m?

Oh, wait... Laugh

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Mon 25 Feb 2013, 4:27 pm

Out of interest, how much would it take?

Err, not sure tbf. Make an offer. Maybe around 4 ish

You may be, but it's gonna take a lot for me to sell them, considering they're my only 2 CB's and Bayern's best striker Il Azzurini - Page 8 3559488474

by Gregers Wed 06 Mar 2013, 8:45 pm

To put it simply no, one of the best cbs in the league

by Gregers Thu 07 Mar 2013, 3:48 pm

Toulalan does interest me, potentally in something for Benat

by GSC Thu 07 Mar 2013, 3:58 pm

I could involve Mario Suarez + cash, though depends on the cash

by GSC Thu 07 Mar 2013, 4:04 pm

I'd do my remaining 4.3m which is around the difference in TM fee I think.

by GSC Thu 07 Mar 2013, 4:19 pm

Well I have a lawyer to cash in though depends on the price

by Marky Thu 07 Mar 2013, 4:35 pm

Toulalan
=
£6m + Motta
ENQ

by Marky Thu 07 Mar 2013, 4:40 pm

Well in hindsight £6m is too much cash if i'm honest, but a firm offer would be £4m + Motta = Toulalan.

by Marky Thu 07 Mar 2013, 4:46 pm

Well considering the difference in TM values is less than £4m it seemed fairer.

What about Motta + £5m = Toulalan? Motta's hardly that much of a downgrade and as you said, Motta's Italian-ness helps the deal.

by GSC Thu 07 Mar 2013, 4:54 pm

I could stretch to 6.5m and Suarez ENQ

by Marky Thu 07 Mar 2013, 4:55 pm

That seems fair enough.

£5.5m + Motta
=
Toulalan

depends on what you would like to offer tbh oh and Eriksen is nfs laugh out loud

by Bull Fri 08 Mar 2013, 4:22 pm

Pirlo and Robben ?

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 08 Mar 2013, 4:25 pm

Nothing for Carjaval or however you spell it, personally didnt think there was too much between him and Jung but each to there own Ok!

Van Rhijn purely in as back up, gives me some extra cash to spend

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 08 Mar 2013, 4:30 pm

tbh mate I've had such a busy few days on here and IRL I haven't even thought about who im playing/what im gonna do/who i have injured yet haha

by Fernando Fri 15 Mar 2013, 12:39 pm

What you want for Cole/Robben fro-jo Il Azzurini - Page 8 3559488474

by Fernando Fri 15 Mar 2013, 12:43 pm

what are you trying to strengthen then fro-jo

by Fernando Fri 15 Mar 2013, 1:00 pm

Would you be interested in a Balzaretti + Cash deal for Cole?

by Fernando Fri 15 Mar 2013, 1:13 pm

is there any amount that would make you say yes Whistle

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue 19 Mar 2013, 4:04 pm

Howedes
Jovetic

by FIFA Diva Tue 19 Mar 2013, 4:05 pm

No thank you.

by Marky Tue 19 Mar 2013, 8:11 pm

Howedes

Koscielny
ENQ

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue 19 Mar 2013, 10:24 pm

Yeah im not gonna go for Jovetic

Howedes I might come back with an offer depending on what I can conjure up

by Marky Wed 20 Mar 2013, 8:17 am

Villa has a price of £25m if he were going for cash, but i'd much rather do a deal along the lines of;

Koscielny + Villa
=
Howedes + Afellay
ENQ

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Wed 20 Mar 2013, 8:58 am

I'll give you £20m for Howedes

by Marky Wed 20 Mar 2013, 9:46 am

Deal. Will confirm it

by Marky Wed 20 Mar 2013, 10:01 am

Sorry to be a pain, but Koscielny is injured this week Laugh

Was an oversight on my part, I wasn't intending to play him this week so didn't think about it. Apologies.

Your soul.

Disclaimer: This will not be enough, as Mandzukic is going nowhere

by sodhat Wed 20 Mar 2013, 10:39 am

I'm not sure there is much that I could see between us. I'm looking at players to mix up my style a bit more and so that's the basis of me shelling Reus out on the open market. In truth being worth 26.5m is a major block to me selling him.

I need El Shaarawy too, he is both ITA and U21.

by Fernando Thu 21 Mar 2013, 11:00 am

i will pass on that tbh im quite happy with my back 3 at the moment they seem to suit each other

by GSC Thu 21 Mar 2013, 11:22 am

Would depend on the cash component of a Rio deal
