Realistic League - Foreign Transfers

First topic message reminder :

Managers may make 5 FT enquiries per week, starting at 0900 every Monday morning. The exception to this will be the end of the season, where additional FT enquiries will be granted.

FT enquiries, once made, can continue throughout the week until a deal is agreed. If however a FT enquiry is refused, please do not re-bid – a refusal will not be reconsidered regardless of the bid amount.

FT enquiries should be realistic, therefore we require a legitimate source – the more the merrier – to be convinced that your bid would be successful in real life. The current legitimate source list is currently as follows:

The Guardian
The Telegraph
The Times
Daily Mail
BBC Sport
Sky Sports

The current list of sources NOT accepted is currently: The Mirror, The Sun, Daily Express, Talksport, Daily Star, Metro, Bleacher Report, Trival Football, Caught Offside, Goal, Life’s a Pitch

No players brought in on a Friday may be used for that week’s tactics, as it would allow an unfair advantage for that team.

Players that are brought into the league through FTs are not allowed to be sold within the league for a minimum of 6 league games. This will avoid managers buying players on behalf of ‘smaller’ clubs, then selling them on, leaving a player at a club he would never have agreed to join.

Trebs:

Etienne Capoue, Toulouse to Fulham, £7.2m - £10m required
Nikica Jelavic, Everton to Fulham, £6m - NO - despite his fall from the first team, Everton have a miniscule squad and wouldn't consider letting him leave. Offer was far too low in any case.

El Dios:
Romelu Lukaku, Chelsea to West Brom, £7.5m - NO - Chelsea paid £18m for him, and wanted to recall him but found out they'd missed the deadline for doing so. A second season loan may be considered depending on how well you do this season.

how many bids do i have left

None, you've used all five.

It should be 2 per day damn it!

Well it's not. Me and GSC have lives to lead. I do this while at work. We can't spend forever doing FTs. 5 per week allows you plenty of opportunity to improve your squad.

I've not used any of my five this week.

Is it 2 or 5 a week now?

so i bring in 2 players and they both happen to be injured ?

conspiracy.

Enigma does injuries, take it up with him.

In the meantime stop trying to bring Borussia Dortmunds captain to Stoke.

i did that Once lol
was worth a shot.

5 a week, I changed it to stop Bull moaning, but here he is, still moaning

GSC, it's Trebs that does injuries...good luck getting sympathy from him

All the teams have first-teamers injured Bull, you just have to deal with it. Plenty of options for you.

Bulldini why so glum chum?

I don't do the injuries that's trebs, I do the player offers and help Marky out with the releases

Hey when you run these leagues there will be moaning and lots of it lol

You're the only one moaning Bull, 12 managers, 1 moaning minnie. You dig?

you forgot 12 managers 1 Moaner and 1 who cries.

when you have me sign up you have to deal with the moaning though if you want i could pack my bags and leave lol

You never used to moan in the Euro Division, why have you started now son? Let's take this over to the homepage so we don't distract from the bids, yeah?

I'll confirm Buckley at £3.5 million

I'll confirm Buttner

Nick Powell - Loan 2m for season - option to buy for 4m if not 1st team next season

Gerard Deulofeu - Loan 2.5m - option to buy as above

Dedryck Boyata - 3m - Man City have dropped him into the U21's after a poor spell at FC Twente - we want him to be 3rd choice CB and push for a starting place.

Teemu Pukki - 1m loan - 2m option

all my 5 done for the week now

Considering your moaning on the NFL league that people commented on your foreigns, kindly follow your own advice here Bull. Last warning.

El Dios:

Nick Powell - Loan £2m for season - option to buy for £4m if not 1st team next season
Response: £2.5m loan fee required, no option to buy
Reasoning: United wouldn't let him leave.

Gerard Deulofeu - Loan £2.5m - option to buy as above
Response: £3.5m loan fee required, no option to buy
Reasoning: Barca wouldn't let him leave.

Dedryck Boyata - £3m - Man City have dropped him into the U21's after a poor spell at FC Twente - we want him to be 3rd choice CB and push for a starting place.
Response: NO
Reasoning: City have just let Lescott out on loan so probably wouldn't want to lose another defender.

Teemu Pukki - £1m loan - £2m option
Response: £5m permanent deal, no loan
Reasoning: No reason for Schalke to loan him out, he's a good backup for them and getting better as he goes. A good cash deal works for Schalke.

S@#t was gna change one - oh well gta wait till next week.

Capoue - £10m is a deal.

Is Jelavic a no outright, or a no unless I increase my offer?

Jelavic is a no outright mate

I understand. Was a cheeky bid anyway.

Jardel Nivaldo
Benfica to Fulham
£1m loan with £3m further future fee.

Linked with us in the January transfer window as a loan option with £4m wanted for the centre back. We would give him the first team football he craves.

Anthony Reveillere
2m
Lyon to Southampton

He is down to the last few months in his contract and has expressed a desire to play in England before he retires, Lyon are currently going through a financial crisis and with Anthony on a hefty pay slip it would help ease them and cut the wage bill down.

Milan Baros
Free Agent to Sunderland

Milan has just had his contract cancelled by mutual consent by Galatasaray, and we offer him a return to the Premier League where he was so successful in the past.

Craig Gordon
Free Agent

Need a back up keeper currently without a club after leaving sunderland would fit the bill

Note: Will release Kelvin Davis to comply with 30 man rule

Luiz Adriano
Shakhtar to Fulham
£5m

We want to make the striker our main man in attack. Marko Devic has played more games than Adriano this season and we would be doubling what Shakhtar paid for him. The incident where he scored from a drop ball has lead to the club criticizing him and the player hasn't started a game since. Fresh start at a new club.

Craig Gordon
£1m
Free Agent to Aston Villa

Free agent but £1m would cover wages and attract Craig to a sleeping giant (yes, I mean Villa) where he would compete for the starting position in goal. Craig would be directly replacing Brad Guzan who we have an acceptable lawyers offer for which we would accept if this deal goes ahead.

Yannick Bolassie
£1.5m
Crystal Palace to Aston Villa

George Boyd
£1m
Peterborough United to Aston Villa

Offering both players the chance to play Premier League football and compete for a starting berth, while offering their respective clubs a decent fee for their trouble.

Neymar
£1m loan fee
Santos to Aston Villa

Emulating the infamous and unrealistic August deadline day move that saw Tevez and Mascherano join West Ham from Corinthians, we believe this deal would show the doubters that Neymar CAN cut it in European Football. Just a loan deal while the Brazilian league is out of season, it would be a tremendous learning curve for Neymar and allow him to remain contracted to and play for Santos up until the 2014 World Cup like he plans.

Out of interest Marky, how likely would you think the last bid were to be accepted?

Roughly 0.01%.

Although in a realistic league, no-one would have said Carlos Tevez to West Ham and it happened IRL. Just saying.

Matej Vydra
£1m
Udinese to Aston Villa

Matej has been on fire on loan at Watford this season, we would be offering Udinese a good fee for a player who clearly isn't in their plans and we would be giving Matej the chance to showcase his goalscoring exploits in the Premier League.

That's 5 for the week.

Don't be jealous cos you didn't think of it first Bull

I don't believe we are allowed to comment on other people's offers

Another warning for BrahmaBill?

No warning. All he was doing was , which in the circumstances is perfectly acceptable.

Neymar = REJECTED

Harsh

These petty bids are boring. I deleted the one for Rooney, but left yours up because it just embarrasses you

Neymar would definitely move to Birmingham. I'm shocked you think otherwise.

Carson Yeung went back home to go to jail, he hated Birmingham so much

Neymar turned down a move to Villa as he felt they wouldn't be able to guarantee him first team football.

Martin Olsson
£4 Million
Blackburn to Reading

Blackburn reportedly, are willing to sell Olsson providing any team can match their estimation of his value. We are willing to meet the 4 Million fee and can offer a first team place for the established, pacey full back.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2263612/Martin-Olsson-transfer-news-West-Ham-make-improved-bid.html

Any chance on answers guys as obviously can't play if not done til tomorrow

Also are we allowed to comment on FT's after they've been signed

Hopefully its all going to be done in a Deadline Day frenzy, where from 11pm up to 11:50pm the news of the deal being accepted trickles through

They were all rejected, everybody go home

Not really

I hope these players can be part of the team for this week seeing as the hold up is entirely your fault GSC/Azzy
