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

Marc Muniesa - 1m loan – Barcelona to Stoke - £2.5m required, it wouldn’t happen normally but remaining consistent with the other Barca loanees in this league.

Tasci + Molinaro - £12m – Stuttgart to Fulham – NO. Tasci has been linked with much bigger clubs, Stuttgart are pushing for European Football and while both are first team players, Stuttgart could be tempted to let Molinaro go on his own for £6m in a separate new bid.
Sigurdsson - £6.8m – Tottenham to Fulham – NO, Sigurdsson is playing regularly at the moment and while his Spurs career got off to a stuttering start, he is just finding form playing at LM with Bale at AM.
Matheiu - £6m – Valencia to Fulham - £9m required

Owen Hargreaves - £0 - Free Agent to Reading – YES, although he must start in 4 games between now and the end of the season or he can leave on a free.

Frank Lampard - £5m - Chelsea to Swansea – NO, Lampard is only a few goals short of the all time Chelsea goalscoring record, and there’s no way he’d give up on that before the summer.

Jose Antonio Reyes - £6.5m - Sevilla to Sunderland – NO, Reyes is settled in Spain and Sevilla wouldn’t want to let one of their best players leave.
Alessandro Nesta - £750k - Montreal Impact to Sunderland – NO, Nesta moved over there to retire, I highly doubt he’d move clubs one more time.
Carlo Cudicini - £500k - Los Angeles Galaxy to Sunderland - YES
Piotr Trochowski - £3m - Sevilla to Sunderland - £6m required
Carl Jenkinson - £8.5m - Arsenal to Sunderland – NO, after his blinding performance last night I think it’s very unlikely Arsenal would let him leave, especially when Sagna’s form has been average at best.

Ramsay - Arsenal to Wigan - Loan fee - £5 million - Future fee of £7.5 million – NO, despite him not being good enough, he is still a first team player.
Alex Song - Barcelona to Wigan - Loan fee - £10 million - Future fee of a further £5 million – NO, Song wouldn’t go to Wigan. Harsh but that’s how it is.


Up to Enigma to agree/disagree.

To put this on this page

I mean, if everybody wanted to have results on a wednesday I'd have no problem what so ever about it and would continue to do results. If you want to do them GSC, then that's great and a real big help to me as Tuesday's are no good.

I can continue to do Player Offers, and I'll save Trebs a job and do the Media Questions on a Thursday/Friday each week., if GSC can take Results off me

I take it that all these changes will take place as of Monday?

We also need to appoint a leader to run the league. Basically, the person who would be the face off announcements that the 4 of us could discuss here, while also making the odd announcement/answer on the spot when you see fit to.

I think GSC would be a perfect choice!

I don't want to lead lol. I don't pay enough attention.

haha we'll we've got until Monday to figure this out.

Updated Job Titles

Overall Leader: Vacant

Media: The Enigma
Releases: Marky/Enigma
Results: GSC

is there anything left to sort out?

Your answers to the foreigns

You can do foreigns until monday as I already did the results from this week, and you get next week off

Then the new changes take place.

Afternoon all,

I will go through all of the pages, checking they're all in order

Hey guys, changed the homepage a bit, few jobs to do:

- Update the fixture list page with the results from the past four gameweeks
- Clean up the league table
- Add some media questions

And everything else seems fine.

I'll tidy up the fixture page as the weeks go on

and Trebs if you want to, I don't mind doing media every week, It will most likely be posted on a thursday/friday almost a pre-game style press conference.

Can we please get foreign transfers sorted out.

Also, think you should maybe agree to answer foreigns on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoon? If there's like a set time nobody can complain about waiting.

I've posted my answers, need one of GSC/Enigma to add to it, failing that just go with my opinion.

To move it along, I'll agree with your opinions but from now on Enigma replaces me on foreigns

Thanks Marky/GSC

Tidy Up League Table: Nick
Top Goalscorers: ?

* We need somebody to take over from El Dios and update the goalscorers table..

Now, for who takes over the league. How about we all do it as a group? Bascially acting as a board we all discuss changes/decisions in here and make a vote then announce it to the rest of the league as a board?

A board is a good idea. Can't put myself forward for anything else in the league responsibility wise due to already having enough to do across a few different leagues.

I mean we've pretty much covered all the jobs between the 4 of us, I mean I can act as the "face" of the board, but the point being is that if I need some advice or discussion I'll come to you 3 and we'll have a chat about it in here.

Does that sound good? Waiting on Trebs & GSC and their thoughts on this

Sounds good to me.

Enigma, fancy answering today's Foreign Transfers if you've got time?

kk

Hey guys, sounds good. I've asked Ent if he wants the WBA job, so we'll see where that goes. Getting two managers in now is the priority.

I'll get injuries up at some point tonight, please can foreign offers be sorted.

Sunderland

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Saint-Etienne to Sunderland, £12m
- NO: Fair Price, but linked with better sides such as Chelsea, Arsenal and Man City

Kolo Toure, Manchester City to Sunderland, £5m
- NOT RIGHT NOW: Played half of City's games in the league this season who have yet to settle on a regular backline. Has hinted at leaving at the end of the season so the timing just isn't right, right now.

Thomas Kaminski, Anderlecht to Sunderland, £2.5m
- YES

Jordan Lukaku, Anderlecht to Sunderland, £2.5m
- YES

Maxime Lestienne, Club Brugge to Sunderland, £3.5m
- Fee of 5 Million is required. Club need the money with him being one of their prized assests .

Reading

William Vainqueur, Standard Liege £3m
- ??

Swansea

Gervinho, Arsenal £11m
- NO

Grzegorz Krychowiak, Stade Reims, £4m
- YES

Can you do my bid for Ignasi Miquel? I'll do your Vainqueur bid.

Sorry missed Friday's Bid's Of

Aston Villa

Ignasi Miquel: No: Regarded a big prospect at Arsenal. Would be interested in a Loan Move providing you can supply first team football, and to show faith as to start his first game.

West Ham

Virgil Van Dijk: Yes

QPR

Juan Jesus: No: Has played 22 of 29 League Games this season

Fulham

Jorge Fucile: Yes: Must start 3 of the remaining Games to extend his contract into next season.

Marky can you pose all these once you have reviewed them and agree

Fulham's Jorge Fucile bid wasn't a valid bid, but the rest i'll do, and i'll answer Reading's bid as well.

Cheers Marky. Could do with any of you providing my players offers for this week. Cheers.

Done.

Please can somebody do my injuries

Thoughts on giving a £5m boost to whoever takes over West Brom?

That and a 2m boost to whoever finds somebody.

Well I found Ent

Yeah bit he said no didnt he

I'll persuade him.

Enigma, can you answer the foreigns? I'd do them but they're both my offers

Personally think you two should make pre-planned times to answer foreigns. Stops people requesting them answered and makes it fair.

Problem with that is if either of us can't be online at that time it creates problems. Only pre-planned time for answers i'd say is Thursday evening, a weekly deadline day as it were, as players need to be signed by Thursday to play that week.

That's a fair point Marky, Thursday evening deadline seems a must have to be honest, but other than that just as and when then.

Aston Villa

Michael Bradley Roma, 6 Million
Yes: Roma have plenty of cover with Michael only being involved in less 15 of the 29 league games there this season. Enjoyed playing in the UK and with Aston Villa.

Anderson, Man Utd, 10 Million
Not Now: With question marks hanging over the likes of Scholes and Fletcher regarding their futures and both missing from the first time, Anderson will be getting some game time in the coming weeks. Maybe when his future is crystal clear in the summer.

Fulham

Bruno Alves, Zenit, 8 Million
No: Fair fee, but Bruno is happy to continue playing on in Russia. He's playing regularly and gets games in Europe every season. Has been linked with bigger sides such as Atletico Madrid & Juventus.

Jorge Fucile, Free Agent, £0
Yes: Must start 3 of the remaining Games to extend his contract into next season

Alan, Braga, 4 Million
No: Happy and settled playing in Portugal. Getting regular game time and has played in Europe this season with them looking odds on to get into Europe again this season. (This was a very hard one)

Swansea

Roberto Soriano, Sampdoria, 3.5 Million
NEG: Under 21 international who has had Chelsea scouts looking at him when Roberto Di Matteo was in charge although the links have settled since. Sampdoria are not in a position to sell their better players so a fee of 6 Million minimum, with a buy out clause of 11 Million.

Reading

??

Marky, you want to give these a once over and if you agree please post other wise we'll have to make a quick discussion.

Agreed and posted.

Next two to consider;

QPR
Raul Albiol £7m - NO, Raul Albiol is settled in Madrid, despite the lack of opportunities he only recently signed a long term contract.
Zoran Tosic £12m - YES

Marky how come you said Yes to Bruno Alves & Alan?

I agree with both of QPR's bids!

Typo re: Fulham's bids. That's what happens when you try and multitask

Edited and corrected now.

Please can someone draw me three random injuries?

1.SS/ST Dimitar Berbatov
2.RB Sascha Riether (on loan)
3.GK Martin Stekelenburg

Thanks

Not keen on three starters injured though.

Bet you wish my office colleague had done it now, eh Trebs?

Azzy, take over leading this league again? We miss you

Especially since Zebra seems to be finally kicking the bucket

Haha, nice try

It's been bliss not having to fret every 5mins about missing this, doing that, writing tactics, updating stuff, PMing GSC because he's too lazy to respond to FTs...

Now, I'm all set for tomorrow's tactics day. Team has a new signing. Very happy

Theres not really much to do now lol. I'm doing results, Nando takes in predos.

Zebs is going nowhere, he's playing the victim card as he always does. Except, as is always the case, he's the aggressor who just can't stop himself.

I've told Hero I'd accept a month's ban if it meant Zebs changed his ways - I honestly would. If it's not me being bullied, it's Cherries or Bull or CF or NickisBHAFC. It just has to stop at some point.
