Well this off-season has become a bit of a joke tbh, so i dont see why i shouldnt have a bit of fun either

Not a fan of your TPs Azzy?

Weve got people looking to buy players for £60m +, the league champions are giving their players away on the cheap, theres far too much money in the league andnot enough players to buy with them. Its gone mad, if i get thd two players i bidfor ive spent £140m on £52m of TM value. its a joke, simple as

If you're paying 140m for 2 players then you're mad though

I have a minimum of £110m, and because of tge tp limit i cant spend the money.its become worthless. Even spending £70m on a player is easy, and the tp limit is £43.5m less than that. In the haste for more cash, we just went from balanced league to league of chaos.

So i'll be spending it all pointlessly, otherwise i'll just be hoarding it with no players to spend it on

Spend some of it my way. Still have players like Hummels, Buffon, Pirlo etc to move on

I tried that but you turned down what a week ago would have been regarded as silly money for some of your players

£80m for Pirlo then. Confirm if happy.

Eh, only change I'd make would be moving EoS lawyers up to last week. Always going to be money with the lawyers though.

Exactly. But we all had £60m in the bank before lawyers, and now we're in some dumb auction paying 3x a players worth, simply because theres nothing else to do with the cash.

It wasn't the money why I turned it down. The players you were asking for I wanted to keep
as bait for my main targets such as Lukaku, Verratti and El Shaa

And you have that money because you did a fire sale to consciously raise the money, not because the league is awash with money necessarily

Regardless, youre the only person selling players, for what i think is a really stupid reason, and the whole thing is now madness. I have £110m to spend and all i can do with it is bid for two not even world class players

And ive had no fire sale, none of the players i offered out got any interest

Tomordow we will see the worlds first £140m keeper.

My budget is currently 1.2m

Anyone want tello?

Sorry lads but I'm going to have to reverse all our deals because Azzybthinks it's stupid.

Ignore the fact that its a only a game and I was trying to make it more enjoyable for myself by giving myself a challenge. I'll just carry on as normal again instead until I completely lose interest

To be honest I'd argue our deal is fair to all parties afro

Me too. I haven't exactly done really lopsided deals, but Azzy thinks they are stupid. Presumably it's just because I didn't accept his offers and then his lawyers were a bit harsh

Except for selling Marky lewandowksi I'm happy with all of them...

I got the best u21 striker available for Lewandowksi

Apparently Mourinho has told Abramovich that he can sell Torres and Mata over the summer

#EpicallyLazyJournalistsWon'tHappen

If this happens i would happy slap Jose for the next year

Torres I could maybe understand, but Mata?!?!?!

He's the best player in the league (debatably)

It was more you sold him to Marky haha

Tello is available at Chorizo, as well as looking for a shake up in general

Need a cb and a cm

Apparently he's trying to make room and raise money for Dzeko/Jovetic - Id really have to reconsider giving him the job at this point

Oh wow. Wow.

If I'm Chelski manager I'm sorting out the defence and someone to play alongside Ramires in midfield. They're fairly stocked in the attacking departments

Buy Varane,Mangala and one of the Benders.

Job done, 12 million contract please

Personally id buy a DM and out and out winger who's better then Moses and a partner for Ivanovic, If can sell Torres then buy a forward.

It's odd cos i thought Ba/Lukaku would be Jose's type of forward

Hooray, its the monthly "Azzy throws toys out of the pram" moment

I agree to an extent though, lot of money at the moment, but the smart thing is to buy a couple now and save for the next two rises, with the aim of winning the league. Rather than moan you have too much money and jizz it all on Neuer in protest.

It wouldn't be a problem in the slightest if he didn't have 3 of his best 4 nominated. Considering he been trying to shift all his players for the last month

I had to deal with the same problem.

My three random lawyers offers were first teamers and I had to accept one.

Technically I ended up trading one more than I needed to, but I originally got around it by trading one player for a similarly ranked player (Rami = Evans). If Azzy can swap Fellaini or Jovetic for someone else's big name player its job done. Even if he waits until after TP bids and does a swap.

Haha a bit of a rant and now we're all fired up

My main gripe is that there is so much money in the league now - I can afford Messi right now, which is simply crazy.

My atfempts to sell squad players at regular points has been just that - an attempt to sell squad players
We all do it GSC

And as for you Affers, I guess I just think it's a shame that the rest of us are out here trying to win, and it seems to me that you've just decided to have a laugh for the final season, having won everything already. Which in itself is fine, but I feel sorry for the teams in the Prem who haven't benefitted from a 'free' gigantic upgrade on their team.

All good fun anyway. And now that's out of the way, no crying until July

Afro shouldn't have won the double, I was robbed in the cup final

But as he won the double, he's now challenging to win it all again with a U21 squad.I wouldn't call it having a laugh.

I just want to know the answers to my TP bids. I genuinely think its the difference between being title contenders and being also rans.

I'm going to do the same - FC No Respek Over 33s is our new name

And we will be playing each cup game with 8 men because we won't have any U21s

At the end of the day, I'm the only PL team that isn't flush with cash, nor getting a bargain because Afro has sudden pedo tendencies, and I don't care tbh.

It was far from a free upgrade The players/cash I have bought in total £133m and the players going out were £145m and a large bit of that difference was mine and Sod's valuation of Verratti, which I overpaid for because you made an offer yourself.


I have made a point of trying to not sell to the same team and to spread them out. It just happens that the 5 U21s I really wanted/needed (Verratti, El Shaa, Alaba, Varane and Lukaku) are the class of players

And rest assured, I am determined to defend both my titles. It was just a bit pointless to me personally to carry on with the same squad, having won the league by 13 points as I could see little future scope to improve.

This way I'll win the league, with kids and will have to put more emphasis on my tactical approach because I don't have players who are free vote winners regardless of tactics

Wonder if Zidane wants Azzy team now hes reverted to strop.

It's like the circle of life with those two though

ZZZ will come in, post tactics for week 1, be offended by a single sentence and then he'll quit

What strop GSC? I'm trying to win the Championship with a team of over 33s. It's never been done before, I've already won one league in this, so I wanted to try something different in the last season. What's wrong with that? I think you'll find that after 3 weeks of TPs I can get this team quite competitive

Yeah, at least this way we don't get the two together.

Like a couple of teenage girls the two of them.

I'm the attractive one

Can I take over the cup?

What happened to the illustrious Cherries Cup?

Gregers wrote:Can I take over the cup?

I would say yes

Technically we awarded it to cherries to run, but he has vanished again, so maybe it's best left with someone sensible.

How about this:

Cherries, you have 24 hours to let us know you're still running the cup, or you're out my boy.

FC Respek your elders

Gregers wrote:Can I take over the cup?

Against my better judgement, Cherries volunteered and he deserves the chance to do it, and not just have it taken from him.

Although my luck will be that he'll introduce an over 23's rule

I prefer my method, because he has vanished

NEW TEAM NAME: FC RESPEK YOUR ELDERS

Tip of the sod-hat to soddy for the brainwave

It was Marky...

It is the close season. He has been on to do everything that he needs to do, including the end of season lawyers.

He got his tactics and votes in consistently.

It is harsh to count him as vanished and take the cup from him because he hasn't been on much recently
