No interest in Rodallega TBH, Lambert is also a couple of England goals away from being rated a lot higher than he is now so wouldn't be worth letting him go.

by sodhat Tue 13 Aug 2013 - 11:29

What would you want for Ruiz?

by Marky Tue 13 Aug 2013 - 11:35

I would let Lambert go in a deal for Ruiz though. Depends what you want.

by sodhat Tue 13 Aug 2013 - 11:48

Not keen on losing Blind, he's an Ajax man through and through and I don't want to fill my squad with gingers.

Ruiz is worth more than I expected. I don't think I can give that much up for him.

by Marky Tue 13 Aug 2013 - 11:57

I'm not CF.

by Marky Tue 13 Aug 2013 - 11:58

Ruiz = Lambert + Cork + £95k is one thing, adding Lovren and Senderos is just insulting.

by Marky Tue 13 Aug 2013 - 12:13

Either way, I have zero interest in including Lovren and Senderos.

What about;

Ruiz = Lambert + Cork + Puncheon
ENQ

by Trebs Tue 13 Aug 2013 - 13:59

Not interested in Senderos or Dejagah.

Kjaer + Kalou
=
Holtby + £3m

ENQ.

by Marky Tue 13 Aug 2013 - 14:48

Deal.

Rickie Lambert (I fear this could backfire for me) + Jack Cork + Jason Puncheon + £95k
=
Bryan Ruiz

by Fernando Tue 13 Aug 2013 - 15:37

What you want for Berba/Hangeland Azzarina?

by Fernando Tue 13 Aug 2013 - 16:13

i couldn't afford to do that tbh id give you 5m which is above his TM value.

by cherriesfna Thu 15 Aug 2013 - 22:32

Sorry wud like to keep my better player at this stage

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue 20 Aug 2013 - 14:17

Hangeland and Distin
ENQ

by sodhat Tue 20 Aug 2013 - 16:14

I'd let him go for cash, probably around the 1.5m mark.

It may seem high bearing in mind age and TM values, but when I signed him for pennies he wasn't looking like a starter in the PL, and now he could go up in value quickly.

by sodhat Tue 20 Aug 2013 - 16:27

I'm also duty bound to tell you he is presently injured, so useless for this week.

Just like he was for Albion last weekend. drumroll

by Marky Tue 20 Aug 2013 - 21:34

Clyne = Puyol + Hughes
ENQ

No thanks, Clyne seemed to be well rated in Week 1 so wouldn't make sense to lose him.

by **Hero** Sun 25 Aug 2013 - 14:17

Yes I have the Fischer King, what you willing to put forward for him?

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 26 Aug 2013 - 16:04

Rickie Lambert
ENQ

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue 27 Aug 2013 - 13:00

Redmond shall not be going anywhere

by GSC Wed 28 Aug 2013 - 15:04

Eh, can't say I'm a massive fan of Berba. I'll ponder

by **Afro** Wed 28 Aug 2013 - 15:18

It would need to be for a striker and I'd only really want Benteke, who is NFS

by Trebs Wed 28 Aug 2013 - 15:24

Holtby, Pirlo, talk to me.

by GSC Wed 28 Aug 2013 - 15:25

No interest in Duff, little in Lambert tbh

by **Afro** Wed 28 Aug 2013 - 15:26

No only Benteke out of yours, and I'd prefer Aubameyang if I can deal with GSC tbh

by Trebs Thu 29 Aug 2013 - 11:01

I'd want Holtby and Pirlo in any deal

by Trebs Thu 29 Aug 2013 - 11:28

Navas is arguably the best player in the league. I don't want quantity, I have players.

I want a couple of top class players. If you won't include Pirlo and Holtby then I'm not selling Navas.

Any other players of mine you're interested in?

by sodhat Thu 29 Aug 2013 - 11:47

Now Anelka has agreed to continue his career, he is for sale again, so open to offers.

by Fernando Thu 29 Aug 2013 - 11:49

What you want for any of your forwards Fool Em FC 3559488474

by **Afro** Thu 29 Aug 2013 - 11:58

I'd need Christian, the big Belgian guy you have up front Whistle

Seriously though, having just signed him, and my feedback saying I needed to improve up front, I'd be wanting somewhere around the £20m mark for him. That can be cash, or something involving Pirlo

by Trebs Thu 29 Aug 2013 - 21:34

Alright Azzy, interested in getting a couple of midfielders in. Maybe Berbatov, depending on what you want for him

by Trebs Thu 29 Aug 2013 - 21:46

If you won't include Pirlo (and presumably Benteke), then I want Holtby, Giaccharini, Nocerino and Berbatov.

As for midfielders, I'm interested in those I mentioned before, maybe a p/ex deal?

by sodhat Mon 2 Sep 2013 - 9:14

Handy offer, but has to be a no. Need him and if he moves to the PL I may be sitting pretty

by sodhat Mon 2 Sep 2013 - 9:18

Not sure really, tough to gauge his value. Holtby would be interesting and I'd like a new CB and the best of yours in Amorebieta

by Trebs Wed 4 Sep 2013 - 10:51

Anything for Benteke? Willing to do a good deal.

by Trebs Wed 4 Sep 2013 - 16:52

by Trebs Wed 4 Sep 2013 - 17:55

£4m for Berbatov.

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?

I'd want Nocerino + a LB or RB tbh

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue 17 Sep 2013 - 13:32

Azzy Mahmood wrote: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?

I'm alright up top, so not really interested in them two. Plus don't split the Berba/Benteke partnership xx

Balzaretti would be the only one of them who would interest me and be a real improvement for me tbh mate

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue 17 Sep 2013 - 13:38

That's fair enough mate, I'm really not sure what to do.

Cos I could do with the money to reinforce other areas, but he's a sexy playa

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue 17 Sep 2013 - 16:40

Man that's tempting.

I think I'd need someone better than Kehl tbh, difference between him and Strootman is bigger than RVW/Benteke imo

by sodhat Tue 17 Sep 2013 - 16:54

Intriguing offer but I'm going to pass because I'll have too many deep lying mids in that respect.

by Marky Tue 17 Sep 2013 - 16:56

Christian Benteke
=
Younes Kaboul + Jay Rodriguez + £1.675m
ENQ

(And before you ask, I'm doing this to try and get Lukaku and Benteke together, so no I won't use Lukaku to get Benteke Wink

)

by sodhat Wed 18 Sep 2013 - 10:20

Benteke + Nocerino = Xhaka, L. de Jong and £4m

(and Anelka? heart

)

by sodhat Wed 18 Sep 2013 - 10:29

I don't want to lose Eriksen in any deals at the moment so I'm not sure I could match your valuation

by **Hero** Wed 18 Sep 2013 - 11:06

So do I, that's why I bought/traded for them. I'll be honest, unless you offered something silly I'm not interested in trading either.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Wed 18 Sep 2013 - 11:09

I've decided to keep Strootman for the time being, and if I do sell it'll be to a lawyer to invest in my side

Sorry

by **Hero** Wed 18 Sep 2013 - 11:22

It's a fair enough offer, but I'm very happy with the spine of my team now and the feedback I'm getting suggests I'd be daft to break it up. I also have a bit of a mancrush on my two players at present so really don't want to part with them.

by Marky Wed 18 Sep 2013 - 12:04

Barkley + Clyne + Wanyama = Benteke + Kehl

Barkley = Holtby

What about;

Barkley + Clyne + Wanyama
=
Benteke + Nocerino

by Marky Wed 18 Sep 2013 - 12:17

Barkley (£5.3m) + Clyne (£4.8m) + Wanyama (£11.5m) = £21.6m
=
Benteke (£18.5m) + Nocerino (£5.7m) = £24.2m

Difference of £2.6m

I can add either Artur Boruc + £1.6m, or £3.1m if I sell Boruc to lawyers to make it work.
