Will you also be 5-0 in Week 5 of the season chin

by Guest Mon 08 Oct 2012, 4:42 pm

I doubt it looking at his CM...also a bit light at the back there sodhat?

by sodhat Mon 08 Oct 2012, 4:44 pm

I've always been front heavy, Azzy

I'm not concerned by my CM at all, I like the mix I have in there

As long as you don't use Livermore you will be fine

I love how Azzy is critically analysing all the teams, yet he is responsible for Viva beginning the season with David Beckham and a host of Baggies in his squad. Azzy is still playing the game from two years ago and Viva is already playing catch up Whistle

If so you should be renamed the Cagliari Browns as you are going 0-5...

I think you missed the pun!
But we won't go 0-5, we are happy to be the Milan Vikings. The surprise package.

I got the pun!
You will be the Genoa Bay Packers. Hyped up, just to fall down

by sodhat Mon 08 Oct 2012, 4:53 pm

Ain't nobody hyping us up. We're the Vikings, the Colts, the little guys that everyone (Azzy) is doing down, but we will rise from the flames like a phoenix, and we will snatch undeserved draws, and benefit from refereeing mistakes.

Because we're the Falcons, and we believe.

Now, I need to edit that down to a few words to fit it on the club crest.

Beckham and Gera won't be playing, while Odemwingie has scored 26 goals in the Prem in 60 games playing for a mediocre team. Laugh all you want, your team is far worse than ours thumbsup

by sodhat Mon 08 Oct 2012, 4:56 pm

Of the two teams, Afro currently has the better first XI in my eyes.

Should have gone to Specsavers Cool

I agree with Soddy, I prefer Afro's squad

But being that I have excellent eyes, that would be an expensive way of making my vision irreparably worse.

by **Afro** Mon 08 Oct 2012, 4:58 pm

I'd sooner have my team than your Azzy and I think I speak for the remaining 14 teams too.

Viva knows the rated players on here and not you, yet the team appears to have a big Azzy influence on it. You are already showing with posts like this that you are out of touch with how people on this league think and vote...

If Olly's keepers are rated that highly, then you're all mad. They've got zilch experience. Have barely played. Haven't even had their first shave. For every ten keepers their age with ability, only 1 makes it. Give me Brad Friedel over either of them.

But if I'm out of touch, then I'll step back and let Viva handle everything. Because if voting is cast based on future potential, we may as well have signed the Arsenal Under 16s. They all go on to play for Barca Laugh

You're just proving Afro's point even more Laugh

Keepers don't actually make that much of a difference when voting I have found

Also just because me keepers are young, and don't play in Serie A, doesn't mean they can't catch a ball, and save a shot.

Keepers have very little impact on the voting in these leagues. noone is saying whether Olly's keepers are rated, but unless you have a real dud of a keeper, then it makes little impact on results. Therefore, it is a waste spending anymore than you need to on a keeper.

The game is all about other managers opinions on the players. The opinions on here are quite different from the old 606. And it's not based on future potential, but the knowledge is a lot broader than in other leagues I have been in in the past. Viva knows who is rated to be fair to him, so I was surprised with some of his selections

by Guest Mon 08 Oct 2012, 5:53 pm

I'd argue that having two unproven teenage goalies would go against you every time. But that's just my out-of-touch opinion.

I see that this has become some kind of cool kids' club, where you all pretend you've watched Lille vs Bordeaux and seen x player do xyz. I think if we're all honest, we'd find that half our players are pretty under-scouted by everyone.

I don't pretend to watch many other games in foreign leagues hence why I have made sure most of my players are from England

In truth, I think most are honest with who they have seen, but also a lot make a big effort to find out about players. As with any league, CL and Premier League players will get the better exposure. And to a lesser extent La Liga (thanks to Sky) and Bunesliga (thanks to ITV) get a lot more coverage than they used to

Hi posting on everyones page for future ref.

by Trebs Thu 18 Oct 2012, 7:05 pm

What do you want for Marco Reus? I'm not expecting the price to be cheap, but I'm sure we could come to some sort of arrangement.

by Bull Tue 23 Oct 2012, 1:18 pm

i would probs want Reus and you dont have cash not that i want it lol

by FIFA Diva Tue 23 Oct 2012, 3:24 pm

Yo fam Lucas Biglia £9m ENQ

by FIFA Diva Tue 23 Oct 2012, 4:59 pm

Sorry I've done a few deals an don't have the money. Was willing to pay up to £12m

by FIFA Diva Wed 24 Oct 2012, 9:39 am

Enq.

We only have around £2m in the bank and I don't think we can sell Bobby Mor oops sorry Coloccini. x

by GSC Wed 31 Oct 2012, 9:21 am

I can't really see me selling Jags, and if I'm being honest it would likely take a sizeable offer to sell Caulker. Would possibly have interest in Pienaar. I'll have a think while I'm sat in lectures (Caulker also counts as an U-21

by Bull Wed 31 Oct 2012, 9:50 am

sorry his not for sale his my best CB.

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Wed 31 Oct 2012, 10:20 am

Pienaar, Biglia, Reus & Sharaawy

Kroos + Pedro
ENQ

El Sharaawy Reus and Biglia are the three that we are interested in. Any CB can go for the right deal.

by Fernando Wed 31 Oct 2012, 2:39 pm

What you want for El Shawoddywoddy should totally rename him that Atalanta Falcons 3559488474

by Fernando Wed 31 Oct 2012, 2:46 pm

i could let Amorebieta go at a push but would have to be next week due to having my LB injured and only having 4 defenders

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Wed 31 Oct 2012, 2:48 pm

Come on Soddy thats a pathetic offer considering what he means to my team.

If you want Nocerino I would be looking at De Silvestri and more coming my way at least.

by Fernando Wed 31 Oct 2012, 2:56 pm

no worries Atalanta Falcons 3559488474

He is available if mind changes as is Monty but for ridiculous offer only

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Wed 31 Oct 2012, 2:58 pm

Would you do De Silvestri + Diamanti + Biglia = Nocerino + Hibbert?

ENQ at the moment

I would just like to comment that I literally spat my coffee out at that offer. I have had to take my tie off and spend the afternoon with a coffee stain on my shirt.

Wasn't all too long ago you were replying to offers saying they were derisory Laugh

by Guest Wed 31 Oct 2012, 3:12 pm

Viva and I will sell you Javier Zanetti for £1.5m, he'd be a great RB backup (Reid would get pulled apart there), and he'd fit in well with your Italianosity you've got going on rose

Well if people are going to offer me Poopie offers i am going to do the same. Thats how it seems to work round here

by sodhat Wed 31 Oct 2012, 3:17 pm

You have definitely come down with a case of Bull-itis today. Getting your grumpy on all over my page.

by **Afro** Wed 31 Oct 2012, 3:17 pm

You have offered him two downgrades and the chance to give you a third player for free. If you'd pulled that one, I would have tipped my hat to Olly - King of the Transfers Ok!

Sod - want to swap Italian RBs.

Cassani for De Silvestri. You give me the difference in TM value in cash and I'll take the injury hit this week

by **Afro** Wed 31 Oct 2012, 3:21 pm

Isn't he. Well that makes my offer a bit silly then Laugh

by Fernando Tue 06 Nov 2012, 2:30 pm

Noble and El Showoddywoddy

for

Cazorla and Ince

Enq.

No ty Soddy Atalanta Falcons 3559488474

Prefer Santi to El Showoddywodddy and Ince will most likely be as rated as Noble if he moves then prbs becomes better

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue 06 Nov 2012, 2:45 pm

Manuel Pasqual. What do you want Soddy?

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue 06 Nov 2012, 2:51 pm

I could certainly let Pirlo go Soddy but I would want more than just Noble and Pasqual coming my way tbh mate.

How about Pirlo + Garrido (just a LB for ya now) = Pasqual + Noble + ?????

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue 06 Nov 2012, 3:01 pm

Well I see it as:

Pirlo >> Noble
Pasqual > Garrido
So I need the equivalent of > coming my way

by Fernando Tue 06 Nov 2012, 5:07 pm

Sorry for the late reply been CV making Atalanta Falcons 3559488474

I can't let Santi go for that tbh sorry shall prbs wait until seasons end if he does go but if i am open to it ill let you know soddy
