£19.5m for Schurrle is a deal good sir.

Okay. Sahin is worth £9.7m

So Sahin + £10m = Schurrle?

I don't care what you offer, Januzaj isn't going anywhere. Wouldn't even do a straight swap for Schurrle.

Whether he's flavour of the month, or I'm in a fantasy world, the fact is you can't have him.

Pirlo + ? = Schurrle

Enq

Not looking to lose any more players as I am at my squad minimum, so I'll retract my offer.

In fact, on reflection, Pirlo swap for Schurrle would bring a lot more to your side and ratings than swapping Schurrle for Pirlo would to mine.

So I'll offer you Pirlo = Schurrle (only ENQ atm the moment as I'm not sure whether I would do it or not)

I have £6m, but I'm not going to use it to get Schurrle. Pirlo started the season poorly, but he has been great over the last month or so.

I'm pretty sure that, whilst Schurrle's TM value > Pirlo's, Pirlo's ratings are > Schurrle's and therefore I would be daft to spend cash to get a worse player. If I didn't have Alonso, I wouldn't be entertaining selling Pirlo

Sorry.

No worries. It was my mistake for suggesting a deal to start with.
 
I don't think you'd be paying over the odds mind as you'd be getting a better player who will control and win you games, which Schurrle (or Matuidi or Gonalons) will never do.
 
I'd also like to see you get a CM that is better than Pirlo from TPs for under £19.5m

I disagree.

First two things people look at are 1) do you have a super striker to score goals and 2) will you win or lose the CM battle. Wide players like Schurrle are an after thought. Poli will never win you midfield battles and therefore votes, and the fact that you have a good winger becomes less relevant. That is my take on it anyway.

And Bryan Robson

I can't do that because I am at the squad limit and I don't want to make up the numbers with any old player.

If you added Salah and I add Susaeta?

My problem is I can't lose 2 players for 1 player because I am at my minimum.

How about if I chuck a little bit of cash in on that last offer?

Okay, how about letting me know which players I could have.

I'm not interested in dross as I will just be lumbered with players never likely to play, which I have worked hard to try and clear out, but any players of reasonable ability or a reasonable TM value to make it worth my while waiting for a lawyers offer

any scope on a deal for jags?

i dont have cash at the mo, so for future reference, how much would you be looking at?

ill have to reject that, i think if i were to make zouma available, i could get 7.5-9m, and with that added to the 2.5m, that would take me up to the next level of defenders in terms of cost where i think i could get another option id rather have

Any news on this?

We will need to get any deal sorted today, otherwise the players can't be in this week's squad.

Not necessarily.

It was Susaeta + Pirlo = Schurrle + ?

The ? was because of player numbers. I would quite like Salah to replace Susaeta, so I am prepared to throw cash in on my side if that helps oil the wheels

Schurrle
=
Sigurdsson + Inigo Martinez + £2.8m
ENQ

Okay.

How about just chucking in any player to keep my squad numbers up

No money.

Just 2 for two. Chuck in your surplus LB with the cool name, how does that sound?

Pirlo + Susaeta = Schurrle + Safari

What if I went Defoe + Flamini + Totti = Schurrle?

Depends which players and their TM value, as I will probably then look to sell them anyway

Actually scrap that, I need the cash elsewhere.

It's Susaeta + Pirlo = Schurrle + Safari

TM value doesn't come into it with Totti, as he's clearly not only worth £875k in this league. Mirallas is a big part of my plans, my offer is three players you mentioned by name and I can add £2.8m if it helps.

Totti + Defoe + Flamini + £2.8m (£875k + £7m + £4.4m + £2.8m)
=
Schurrle

That's an offer in TM terms of just over £15m, but we both know it's worth more than that in terms of ratings etc.

Afro wrote:Actually scrap that, I need the cash elsewhere.

It's Susaeta + Pirlo = Schurrle + Safari

I need the cash elsewhere.

So my offer is Susaeta + Pirlo = Schurrle + Safari

If you want me to chuck in £5m, you need to add £5m of players on top of that.

No deal, I need to keep some of my players! A 3 for 1 deal is the most I can do, plus £2.8m on my side. And adding Sigurdsson would mean I'm basically valuing Totti at his TM value which I can't do as he's better than that.

Defoe + Sigurdsson + Flamini = Schurrle
or
Defoe + Totti + Flamini + £2.8m = Schurrle

Those are the two deals I can do.

I'm going offline now (to drive home from work), if either are acceptable you may confirm. If neither are, then I will make no further bids.

I said I would chuck in £5m cash so you can do that, but I want £5m of players for it.

I keep saying I'll give you cash for Schurrle if you want to do that.

Apart from you get to clear out squad players that otherwise you have to wait for a lawyers offer for.

Look I'm going to leave it. I wasn't overly keen on actually using Schurrle and was only looking at his sell on value in hope he picked up a lawyer soon. The more I add, the less worthwhile that makes signing him.

Right then, a deal to go through after this week.

Schurrle, Rosicky and Mayer
=
Defoe, Sigurdsson, Totti and Flamini
ENQ

Gerrard and Robben for Gonalons and Schurlle ENQ

No way Jose!
Robben goes nowhere.
Try again

Gerrard + £8m = Andre Schurrle
ENQ

That offer from Marky is a good one. I have quite a few Cm it's the wide positions where I'm lacking so I'll have to reject that offer.

Its an ok offer. Nocerino is injured & Milan are in dodgy form, hes not playing. Berahino is a decent youngster but no Adnan, Barkley or Ravel. Gnabry wont play much now Walcott is due back, everyone will forget who he is in a months time.

Gerrard + £10m = Andre Schurrle
ENQ

He can go for an offer of lawyers equivalent, although I am prepared to hold on to him to see what other interest there is and other part ex offers rather than sell to the first offer

id like to keep him as my 3rd choice as his value and ratings are only going to go one way, but if im desperate for the cash i need to get to get my cb target, id be open to selling him, but i cant do that until the next lawyers offers have come round and even then its highly unlikely id sell him

How much for Schurrle?
I'lloffer you £12m + SWP

SWP is armed & dangerous, good to go next winner of the Balloon Door!

Javier Zanetti
=
10k

ENQ

Zanetti
£400k
ENQ

Is Zanetti for sale?
How old is he now? Is he still able to run?

Zanetti
=
401k
ENQ

is Jags for sale?
I'll offer:
Kolo, Kolo Kolo, Kolo Kolo, Kolo Kolo Toure!! + £2m
Genuine ENQ

Kolo was offered as a replacement for you so you dont need to desperatly search for one.

How about:
Campagnaro + £2m
=
Jags
ENQ

Costa is a beast in the air, people are just too stupid & dont watch Valencia play, they just watch Barca or Real.
Hugo is a boss, he'd smash John Terrys wife in the bottom hole!!

Why would I pay top dolla when I got Phil "The Beast" Jones....

Ill offer you £2m under Jag's TM Value. ENQ

Because Phil "The Tank" Jones plays second fiddle to Phillip "One Time" Jagielka in the England national team.

Pish posh. Injuries mate. Jags plays at mid table level club. Phil "The Tank" Jones bosses the likes of Ozil & Cazorla when hes not bossin it in the Champions League #PimpA$$Boss

Whenever is OK with you

Whenever is OK with you

Sure

Yo Viva, is Mohamed Salah available for transfer?

Also, how much for Villa?

All my players are available for the right amount of money or part exchange. I'd want £12m for Villa.

£12m for Villa  His TM Value is £8.8m, ill offer you £7m
