First topic message reminder :

Might be worth reviewing Bull's offer for Lampard, multiple papers are stating that no contact talks had taken place, he's had offers elsewhere but wants to stay in the premier league

I'm fresh out of suggestions, I can't find anyone I want...I used to be ace at realistic leagues, but this time round I'm all out of ideas

Cheers for media questions, shame Bull is being so childish. Do we know anyone that might fancy taking over from him?

Bulls loves it really, otherwise he wouldn't hand it tactics, continue to bid etc.. he's just playing the bad-boy role for the time being. I don't think he would walk away from the league, it's just a front but I have no idea why he's putting it on in the first place.

I'd issue some kind of embargo in the FT's if he carries on, he'll soon pack it in. By the way, maybe encourage people to answer the media stuff with a bonus 1 million?

Bulls just a sulky child.

El Dios (1/5):
Max Meyer, Schalke to West Brom, £1m = £1m fee now, £1m at end of the season, plus a further £1m if he plays for Germany U21s.

Marky (3/5):
Giuliano, Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk to Aston Villa, £7m = NO - no reason for Dnipro to sell, considering he's probably their best player and they're 2nd in the league.

Trebs (1, 2, 3 and 4/5):
Fabricio Coloccini, Newcastle to Fulham, £5m = NO - he wants to move back to Argentina so a move to London doesn't help him.

David Stockdale, £500k Loan return + Neil Etheridge on loan = NO - Hull are fighting for the Championship title and wouldn't want to sacrifice a decent goalkeeper for a fraction of the potential promotion prize.

Nicolas Ismimat-Mirin, Valenciennes to Fulham, £4m = YES

Igor de Camargo, Moenchengladbach to Fulham, £2m = £3m required

CF (1/5):
Abou Diaby, Arsenal to Swansea, £5m = NO - Arsene Wenger rates Diaby very highly, so he'd not countenance losing a key midfielder at such a crucial stage of the season.

Yes
No
No back to Argentina
No
Yes
Agree
No

Righto, I'll go with you on the Meyer deal.

Marky (4 and 5/5):
Felipe Anderson, Santos to Aston Villa, £7m = NOT RIGHT NOW - Lazio are a much bigger club than Villa, so we don't think he'd join you currently. Depending on how you do this season, that may change.
Simon Vukcevic, Free Agent to Aston Villa = YES - but the player has no value, cannot be released for a fee, and must start at least 3/11 games by the end of the season, else he will leave for nothing.

Nando (1/5):
Sergi Roberto, Barcelona B to Southampton, £2.5m loan fee = YES

El Dios (2/5):
Aymeric Laporte, Athletic Bilbao to West Brom, £4m = YES - but player must have a £7.5m release clause

No to Laporte for me, ED is done in by his own explanation, Amorebieta is walking on a free in the summer

Okay that's agreed. What about Marky's 2 and Nando's 1? More coming btw

El Dios (3, 4 and 5/5):
Leo Baptistao, Rayo Vallecano to West Brom, £2.5m loan fee with £7.5m option at season's end = NOT RIGHT NOW - Rayo are flying in La Liga and wouldn't sell one of their best players at this crucial stage of the season.

Adam Matthews, Celtic to West Brom, £2m = £4m required

Alen Halilovic, Dinamo Zagreb to West Brom, £0.5m = NO - we feel he's too young to move abroad

Azzy (2/5):

Razvan Rat, Shakhtar Donetsk to Sunderland, £3.25m =

GSC, can I get your opinion on the two Marky ones, Nando's one, El Dios's three and my one?

Cheers

Aite and yes to yours

I don't know what aite means

Alright but Swag talk.

I getcha. But alright to what - my responses or to the original bids? I'd hope to my responses

Responses

Coolio

Cheers mate.

FYI lads my tactics are ready, I'll post them tomorrow in here. Hopefully Nando will PM me his so that none of you lot can sell him my tactics in advance

Or you could both PM to me again.

Haha, I forgot we did that. Let's tell Nando!

GSC have you received my tactics mate?

Yes

El Dios (1/5):

Max Clayton, Crewe to West Brom, £1m plus loan back for rest of season - £3m required plus loan back for rest of season

Azzy (1/5):

Danny Simpson, Newcastle to Sunderland, £500k = ???

Hey Azzy.
I'll do predos and injuries soon, but I'm not going to be around all week due to an exam so would it be possible to take my tactics now?

Cheers Trebs - you can post the injuries as soon as they're done. Yours are:

Nicolas Isimat Mirin
John Arne Riise
Luiz Adriano

Tactics can come any time

Cheers Azzy. I'll just do a couple of bits for the other league and will get this done as soon as.

Those injuries are evil.

Don't blame me, blame the person opposite me in the office who chose the random numbers for your squad

GSC, a further bid:

Azzy (2/5):

Josue, Wolfsburg to Sunderland, £2.5m = ???

Easiest way is:

http://www.random.org/lists/

And the first three are the injuries

Or ask the person in front of you "pick a number between 1 and 30", three times

This week's injuries below, please post when results are up to avoid confusion.

INJURIES:

Me vs Bull this week. Should be good...but no Johnson or Fanni

Vengeance is sweet

Very interesting, and dangerous, tactics there Trebs

Dangerous? PM me?

Predos sent. Is there anything else I need to do on here before I disappear for the week?

Yes, scorers for those games please

Azzy (1 and 2/5):

Danny Simpson, Newcastle to Sunderland, £500k = ???
Josue, Wolfsburg to Sunderland, £2.5m = ???

Agree
Yes
Yes

Azzy - Still waiting on my Player Offers for this week

Sorry mate, am at home with my lad, he's got chicken pox - if GSC posts his comments on them I'll try and get on later

I did

Reading Player Offers:

Nicky Shorey, £2m
Jason Roberts, £500k

GSC wrote:I did

There's a few more in the FT thread that I haven't posted here yet mate...have to go now, sorry!

GSC, here is the list of outstanding FT bids:

Bull (1, 2, 3 and 4/5):
Kieran Trippier, Burnley to Stoke, £3.5m = YES
Sebastian Rode, Frankfurt to Stoke, £6m = £10m REQUIRED - same reasoning as Meier below, but £10m would tempt them to sell I believe.
Alexander Meier, Frankfurt to Stoke, £4m = NOT RIGHT NOW - Frankfurt are flying high this season and he's a huge part of that, with 12 goals so far. Maybe in the summer.
Jores Okore, Nordsjælland to Stoke, £2m = £5m REQUIRED PLUS £8M RELEASE FEE TO BIGGER CLUB

El Dios (1/5):
Neal Maupay, Nice to West Brom, £1.5m = £3m REQUIRED, PLUS LOAN BACK FOR THE SEASON, PLUS £7.5M RELEASE FEE TO ANY CLUB

Azzy (3/5):
Fernando Amorebieta, Bilbao to Sunderland, £5m + £8m release clause for a bigger club = ???

Agreed.

No to Amorebieta, hes off for free to a big club this summer anyway.
