Should've saved up for James Rodriguez. His values shot up higher than an entire Iturbe.

by GSC Wed Jul 23, 2014 12:43 pm

Still about 20m shy of his transfer fee mind. Might not bode well for those bought because they just moved for a big fee.

by **Hero** Wed Jul 23, 2014 12:45 pm

Agree, TM why you no move Ross flippin McCormack!

TM doesn't always seem to follow the transfer fee. I remember they didn't with Modric.

Does seem a bit illogical though, coz what better indication of market value than what someone just paid for them

by Holymiky Wed Jul 23, 2014 12:46 pm

Don't get me wrong, I am more than happy with Vilhena.

It wasn't all my idea but I had Vilhena in one of the previous leagues so I do know about him.

Thanks GSC for the budget stuff. I will update accordingly.

Could argue clubs like Real, Barca, United etc all have to pay above market value as clubs know they have money.

by GSC Wed Jul 23, 2014 12:53 pm

Anymore big deals left this window? Real, Barca, Chelsea seem t have done their business.

I know what you're saying, although you could then argue that those players are therefore being sold in a different market.

It is subjective, but market value has to essentially be the amount that someone is prepared to pay for them? And that is best reflected by what someone has just paid for them.

Apart from Ross McCormack of course, as Fulham would never be able to sell him for £11m

I have heard from Madrid that they think Vidal to Real is a real possibility

by Holymiky Wed Jul 23, 2014 12:56 pm

I heard a rumour about a player called Afro going to Everton for an undisclosed fee.

by FIFA Diva Wed Jul 23, 2014 12:56 pm

Vidal to United? He's coming back from holiday on Saturday so hopefully we can get things moving.

Have you heard anything new on the Vidal situation @ Hero?

They couldn't afford me

by **Hero** Wed Jul 23, 2014 12:59 pm

Nothing at all, very quiet on the Western front, my mate's back over in Singapore at present though.

Strong stories in the Spanish press that he is Madrid bound for €50m.

Really? That's a bit surprising considering they've just signed Rodriguez and Kroos. I haven't seen anything myself, which Spanish media outlet is spreading these stories?

by **Afro** Wed Jul 23, 2014 1:09 pm

I'll ask them now, althougn I suspect it is La Marca as that is the only reliable paper on Real Madrid, but is very close to the club and is normally very accurate

by FIFA Diva Wed Jul 23, 2014 1:14 pm

I must admit Real are the best when it comes to players they want, no messing around from them they do their business and the player is theirs.

I'll be really disappointed if United don't get Vidal especially as Kroos and Fabregas have moved this Summer and we didn't even bother with them.

by **Hero** Wed Jul 23, 2014 1:20 pm

Real are great with transfers.

RM: That player, we like him, how much do you want?

Club: Erm....£100m?

RM: Sure

-----

Utd though...

Utd: That player, we like him, how much you want?

Club: Erm 30m?

Utd: How about 10m and Nani?

Club: no

Utd: 15m and Cleverley? Final offer!

Club: No, we're no longer interested in selling.

Utd: Twisted my arm, 20m and Ashley Young.

Club: We've sold him to Real Madrid now for 30m.

by **Afro** Wed Jul 23, 2014 1:23 pm

It was La Marca. If you Google it, it comes up with British media linking him to both Real and United

They have space since Khedira/Casemiro/Isco (potentially) heading out

by Holymiky Wed Jul 23, 2014 1:31 pm

I don't know about you guys but if I was a manager who could afford Isco and knew that he could possibly be available and I needed him then I would at least make an offer.

by Fernando Wed Jul 23, 2014 1:32 pm

He'll end up at Citeh under his old boss most likely

by Fernando Wed Jul 23, 2014 1:35 pm

Anyway back to my course I go Euro Division Homepage LXXV - Page 15 3559488474

Part of my lip weirdly swelled up this morning, in the space of about 5 minutes. Then about 15 minutes later it had gone.

by GSC Wed Jul 23, 2014 1:44 pm

by GSC Wed Jul 23, 2014 2:23 pm

Mathieu to Barca for 20m euros if anyone fancies a punt.

Brahimi to Porto also.

by **Afro** Wed Jul 23, 2014 2:25 pm

Not sure you'll get great odds on Brahimi, hasn't he already moved?

Hero - have you been scouting for Everton?

by **Hero** Wed Jul 23, 2014 2:27 pm

I read about that this morning and would have snapped him up but used up my two for this week.

Yes.

I thought you actually meant a punt as in bet where is moving too picard

by GSC Wed Jul 23, 2014 2:33 pm

More whether Mathieu will rise from about 10.6m

by **Afro** Wed Jul 23, 2014 2:35 pm

Not sure many even have the initial £10.6m to make the initial purchase

by GSC Wed Jul 23, 2014 2:36 pm

True.

Decent amount of cash thrown about recently though tbf.

Think I did my sums yesterday, both my income and outcome above 50m.

by **Hero** Wed Jul 23, 2014 2:41 pm

Going to actually scout a potential purchase for my team in the flesh tonight as Besiktas play FC Mainz.

Who can guess on the player?

by GSC Wed Jul 23, 2014 2:42 pm

Jara?

by **Afro** Wed Jul 23, 2014 2:45 pm

I’ve spent £49m and brought in £39.7m from sales. That’s without splitting out my deal with Viva from being net 5.4m in

by **Hero** Wed Jul 23, 2014 2:47 pm

Nope!

by **Afro** Wed Jul 23, 2014 2:48 pm

Demba Ba.....

Seriously though, promising youngster... Geis?

by **Hero** Wed Jul 23, 2014 3:01 pm

Nope, it is....Stephanos Kapino the new Mainz keeper.

by GSC Wed Jul 23, 2014 3:05 pm

Well, my keepers now worth a 10m lawyer.

You are one of the last to comment on deals, remember when I had Neymar and the players you offered me.

by Holymiky Wed Jul 23, 2014 4:09 pm

Okay, question then from me,

Just how successful is Van Gaal going to be at Man Utd? What do you all expect from him.

by FIFA Diva Wed Jul 23, 2014 4:15 pm

For me if he gets and I think he will a top 4 position it will be a successful season. Times have changed United are not going to dominate anymore and I can accept that but I hope we're still challenging and winning obviously we won't be winning as much as the Sir Alex era.

More important then winning right now is for Van Gaal too get the foundations right for our next manager (Giggs) who I reckon will be in for the long haul. If we can get our base right, with the youth players coming in aswell as the big names the stability is what we need and that's what I want in he's three years can't see him staying beyond that.

by GSC Wed Jul 23, 2014 4:20 pm

I wouldn't feel confident if Giggs is the heir to the United throne.

by sodhat Wed Jul 23, 2014 4:23 pm

Giggs might be alright.

I wouldn't leave him with my missus though.

by GSC Wed Jul 23, 2014 4:25 pm

Giggs and Olly are pretty similar people though. You wouldn't worry unless they're family members.
