I'd need a quality RB/CB in for him really, and I don't see any in your squad at the moment.

Otherwise a boatload of cash.

by **Afro** Tue 13 Aug 2013, 10:49 am

£4m for San Jose

by GSC Tue 13 Aug 2013, 1:23 pm

Not really that tempted to sell, depends what I'm offered

by GSC Tue 13 Aug 2013, 2:31 pm

le no

by **Afro** Tue 13 Aug 2013, 4:26 pm

Who are you more inclined to sell - Wolfman or Hooper? (I'll leave Fer as I expect you'll want a good premium for him.

I have £2.8m cash, so its going to take some players as well I expect, so who do you fancy?

by Guest Tue 20 Aug 2013, 2:22 pm

Hi mate

Thanks for the enquiry. I really don't want to move Hangeland, as he and Amorebieta are a pretty decent CB partnership. It would take a lot to nab him from me.

Distin is different, I got him at the draft for £1m because he's still quality and TM for some reason doesn't rate older players very well. So, to sell Distin, I'd want one £2.5m cash.

Seems a lot, but I don't think I can find a replacement for that much even!

by GSC Tue 20 Aug 2013, 2:23 pm

Would need to be pretty lucrative, not too many better than him in the league

by Trebs Tue 20 Aug 2013, 4:19 pm

If Quagliarella is available, I'm all ears.

Also sent a PM.

by Trebs Mon 26 Aug 2013, 1:35 pm

I can use Basa or Kjaer in a deal, but not Rami

by Fernando Mon 26 Aug 2013, 4:10 pm

Vidic is NFS

Ginter would take 8.5m considering what i paid for him Smile

by Marky Mon 26 Aug 2013, 4:14 pm

Clyne's not for sale until I can find a quality replacement in TP's, which means he'd only go for cash. Make an offer around the £7m mark and we can talk.

by Guest Tue 27 Aug 2013, 12:45 pm

Lambert = Redmond + £2.5m

by **Hero** Tue 27 Aug 2013, 1:02 pm

And what is the enquiry?

by Guest Tue 27 Aug 2013, 1:20 pm

Then that means nor will Riccccccckkkkkkiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeee The Nodge 3559488474

by **Afro** Tue 27 Aug 2013, 1:29 pm

Sorry, but that is well below acceptable

by Trebs Wed 28 Aug 2013, 3:27 pm

Strootman. Name your price.

by Trebs Thu 29 Aug 2013, 10:46 am

Didn't realise you'd paid that much. I will leave it, thanks for getting back to me.

by cherriesfna Thu 29 Aug 2013, 1:27 pm

Dragovic, listening

by GSC Wed 04 Sep 2013, 9:27 am

Redmond ENQ

by Trebs Wed 04 Sep 2013, 9:50 pm

Wolfman available?

by Trebs Wed 04 Sep 2013, 11:02 pm

Be more specific?
Both a cash proce and p/ex (if available)

by Marky Thu 05 Sep 2013, 8:55 am

Put it this way, I rejected my lawyers offer for Lallana the other week and I sold Ramirez this week. If Lallana is to leave, I'd want £12m to sign a quality replacement.

by Guest Tue 17 Sep 2013, 1:25 pm

Hi mate

Strootman - I only have £1m in cash (£2m later after bonuses come in), and could raise maybe another £1.5m through releases. So call it £3.5m cash.

In addition to £3.5m cash, what would it take to nab Strootman off of you?

by **Afro** Tue 17 Sep 2013, 1:25 pm

I'm interested in Strootman, although I have little cash, so it would need to be a swap of some form

by Guest Tue 17 Sep 2013, 1:29 pm

Okay, we currently stand at:

Strootman = Nocerino + £3.5m + LB/RB

My RBs are Riether + Aaron Hughes, or my LBs are Balzretti + Riise (I'd want to keep Balzaretti ideally).

What about throwing in Berbatov or di Natale?

by **Afro** Tue 17 Sep 2013, 1:30 pm

I could do Siqueira no problem, but how much cash as I don't have much.

I'm guessing you'd want something else?

by Guest Tue 17 Sep 2013, 1:36 pm

I'll have to leave it then, as I'd be losing two first teamers and £3.5m for one first teamer, and knowing how Trebs does my injuries, it'd be:

Pirlo
Amorebieta
Strootman

each week for the rest of the season Laugh

by **Afro** Tue 17 Sep 2013, 1:38 pm

Well let me know if you think of anything.

Could throw in Iturraspe or Oscar to replace him at CM if it helped

by Guest Tue 17 Sep 2013, 4:37 pm

Strootman + RVW = Benteke + Kehl
ENQ

by **Afro** Tue 17 Sep 2013, 4:44 pm

Oscar + Siqueira + £2.5m = Strootman

ENQ

by **Afro** Tue 17 Sep 2013, 4:57 pm

I could do that deal next week instead, although it would then depend on my injuries next week.

by Marky Tue 17 Sep 2013, 4:58 pm

Would be willing to take Okore off your hands, something involving Nacho Fernandez or Jose Fonte appeal?

by **Afro** Tue 17 Sep 2013, 5:02 pm

Well as I don't have £5m cash and I'd need any extra to replace Siqueira, I can't do that.

I could do something with one of my 3 main CBs, although then it would need to happen this week, not include Siquiera and be more balanced given you would be getting 2 for 1

Jags + Oscar = Strootman

ENQ

by Marky Tue 17 Sep 2013, 5:03 pm

Not strictly a DM but what about James Ward-Prowse? I don't want to let him go but fancy a gamble he doesn't turn out good Laugh

Reluctant to offer Schneiderlin or Wanyama seeing as Okore's long term injury will affect his rating.

by **Afro** Tue 17 Sep 2013, 5:08 pm

No worries then, I'll leave it.

No value in for me to lose my starting LB and £5m to get Strootman, when he is far from 100% to be ahead of Herrera and Gonalons if I had everyone fit

Not a problem mate, although if you're selling Strootman for £17m, I can't see how you replace his ability through TPs.

by **Hero** Wed 18 Sep 2013, 1:02 pm

I know you've only just bought him but would you be interested in trading CaravanJill?

by **Hero** Wed 18 Sep 2013, 1:48 pm

I presume you'd want Toby involved?

by **Hero** Wed 18 Sep 2013, 9:54 pm

The same goes for Toby and I know you're a fan of him too.

by Trebs Thu 19 Sep 2013, 10:28 am

Can we iron out a deal for Strootman?

by Trebs Thu 19 Sep 2013, 12:32 pm

Fair enough, Navas isn't available but anyone else could go to make the deal, let me know who you're interested in.

by Trebs Thu 19 Sep 2013, 12:48 pm

That's a bit excessive Laugh

I could do Bender + Kjaer = Strootman. ENQ

by Trebs Thu 19 Sep 2013, 12:54 pm

Better but I'd be without a left back, can we keep Cole out of the equation?

by **Hero** Thu 19 Sep 2013, 9:14 pm

Dominguez & Jantschke for Caravan Jill?

EnQ

by **Hero** Thu 19 Sep 2013, 9:19 pm

And 2m?

That's 6m profit in a matter of days.

by **Hero** Thu 19 Sep 2013, 9:21 pm

You picked Norwich, that reply is null and void.

by **Hero** Thu 19 Sep 2013, 9:23 pm

It gives you a better CB, an adequate RB and a couple of mil. Both guys you can lawyer off over time and that'll bring you in even more cash so you'd end up with 15-16m from which you can buy 'quality'

by **Hero** Thu 19 Sep 2013, 9:26 pm

So what can we do to push this through?
