Really? If you want Kane now, you'll have to raise £108m.

I also wish I'd taken Treb's up on his offer with Rashford yesterday

by Fernando Wed 03 Jan 2018, 11:19 am

These are all players that were never within reach anyway apart from Rashford/Jesus etc

by **Afro** Wed 03 Jan 2018, 11:22 am

There's a few that have now gone over the £30m cap that people would have been looking at.

Also Trebs wouldn't have been able to sign Ederson if he'd waited a day longer

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Wed 03 Jan 2018, 11:24 am

I've had the following

Davinson Sanchez from £22.5m > £31.5m
Mario Lemina from £10.8m > £13.5m
Heung Min-Son from 327m > £31.5m

by **Hero** Wed 03 Jan 2018, 11:31 am

Pretty much all my season 2 targets have gone mental prices now (Salah, Sterling etc).

I thought you said market rises didn't make any difference.

by BamBam Wed 03 Jan 2018, 11:36 am

Even average players have got sizeable increases

Although Henderson should be worth about 4m and only went down to 22.5m

RIP my Salah/Mertens/Son front three dream

by **Hero** Wed 03 Jan 2018, 11:38 am

Joe Gomez is 16.2m

Words fail me.

by BamBam Wed 03 Jan 2018, 11:42 am

I'm convinced Crimey runs TM with prices like that and 27m for Wijnaldum

by TwisT Wed 03 Jan 2018, 11:42 am

Vardy, aged 30, price increase goes against the usual TM tactics.

Nah, they don't really. I still wouldn't do the deal in reality.

I only said it for effect!!!

Jesus is £63m but that makes no real difference until I get a season 2 lawyer for him. Unless someone else pays it

by TwisT Wed 03 Jan 2018, 12:07 pm

So now we just wait for the France one I suppose.

by **Afro** Wed 03 Jan 2018, 12:36 pm

I'm going to update the homepage.

So it was tactics in by close of Friday, votes by close of Monday.

New TP and releases week starts Friday.

New lawyers today, with winter break lawyers to also remain open alongside - say until Friday?

Virgil Van Dijk is now the most valuable centre back in the world

Giggity

Giggity

Well he is this years missing piece to the Liverpool winning the league jigsaw. He follows a esteemed list that have gone before him.

Mane, Alberto Aquilani, Andrew Robertson, Kolo Toure, Stan Collymore, Patrik Berger, Paul Ince, El Hadji Diouf, Harry Kewell, Robbie Keane, Glen Johnson.

Soon to be followed by Naby Keita too.

by **Afro** Wed 03 Jan 2018, 12:56 pm

It really is amusing if you google "missing piece to Liverpool jigsaw

the delusion never fails to amaze

Although I do blame the media lapdogs for most of it

My favourite is;

"Is Alberto Aquilani Liverpool's Missing Piece in the Title Jigsaw"

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Wed 03 Jan 2018, 1:29 pm

Member when they legitimately nearly won the title with David N'Gog as their second striker

Every sports journalist has a report template saved....

<insert player name>.... Liverpool's Missing Piece in the Title Jigsaw!

New Liverpool signing <insert player name> is the man who is going to take Liverpool to glory. Liverpool manager<insert manager name> hails his new arrival, stating "it is clear to all knowledgeable football fans that Liverpool are only one player off being title winners. <insert player name> is the man to fill that gap and take us on to greater things".

Head of the Liverpool supporters club, Mr Blinkered, states "<insert player name> is a really exciting signing. He is clearly better than <insert opposing Man Utd player name> and affirms our position as the biggest football team in England. What's that? 28 years isn't that long ago!"

by Fernando Wed 03 Jan 2018, 2:27 pm

Bakambu off to China for £35m

by TwisT Wed 03 Jan 2018, 2:31 pm

1 down and 2 to go then.

by BamBam Wed 03 Jan 2018, 2:37 pm

I've been planning on getting a top striker as soon as the second season cap was raised, had my eye on Icardi/Morata as the top two choices, and both have gone sky high

Bloody TM

So ... shall I do lawyers Very Happy

I am genuinely that bored in the office

by Fernando Wed 03 Jan 2018, 2:40 pm

Aye go for it

Mascherano looks like he heading to China aswell

by TwisT Wed 03 Jan 2018, 2:46 pm

Helps me that because Yerry Mina may move earlier than the summer

Just thinking again, this is the link to Week 11 lawyers https://www.606v2.com/t66952-lawyers-week-11

Would we be doubling up for week 11 if I do lawyers again

by **Afro** Wed 03 Jan 2018, 2:52 pm

Week 11 part 2!

by BamBam Wed 03 Jan 2018, 3:30 pm

Fine by me

Miky, Afro made me do it

by **Afro** Wed 03 Jan 2018, 3:33 pm

I'll hold my hands up depending on the lawyers I get.

Otherwise, I'll delete my posts and just keep my head down

Conti & Taison

by BamBam Wed 03 Jan 2018, 3:45 pm

Cheers

Lawyers up

Anyone want Conti or Taison

by **Hero** Wed 03 Jan 2018, 3:49 pm

Similar to injuries not happening multiple times can we bring in one on lawyers? Had Solanke 3 weeks running now.

you say that like its a bad thing Laugh

by Holymiky Wed 03 Jan 2018, 3:53 pm

Ill just wait for the complaints at the end of the season when either 1). People cant afford targets but have too much money or 2). People miss out on targets because others have too much money.

I blame society

by Marky Wed 03 Jan 2018, 4:09 pm

I might as well not have had any lawyers offers anyway. Rubbish.

by BamBam Wed 03 Jan 2018, 4:16 pm

Miky, Xmas is over, the Grinch can leave now

by Holymiky Wed 03 Jan 2018, 4:43 pm

I'm just being real. This is what i mean about double standards which i have talked about before. People are quite happy to have multiple lawyer offers but when Hero cashes in at the end of the season will people still be happy? Because he has been clever with TM which he has every right to do.

by **Afro** Wed 03 Jan 2018, 4:46 pm

I think we are all happy for Hero to cash in. I missed someone saying they weren't happy with current rules, only a discussion about what may or may not make the league better/last longer.

Discussion is healthy and it doesn't need to be acted upon

by BamBam Wed 03 Jan 2018, 4:51 pm

When I came back and saw the teams I said this

BamBam wrote:Have voted

You foolish fools, how have you allowed Hero to sign the two best players under £30m

So I've been fully expecting Hero to clean up all season long

But as you said ..

Holymiky wrote:People build squads differently though Bam. Hero has chosen to go that route whereas I have tried to build a more balanced first team.

So in reality, no one can have any complaints Wink

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Wed 03 Jan 2018, 5:23 pm

You’ve far too much time at work at the office bam Laugh

by Holymiky Wed 03 Jan 2018, 5:25 pm

I'm not the one with complaints, just thinking they may arrive.

There is literally no point in me being here this week Laugh

by **Hero** Wed 03 Jan 2018, 6:13 pm

Don't actually think I'll be as quids in as people think tbh. Done alright with a handful of them but I bet most people have more overall gains.

by **Afro** Wed 03 Jan 2018, 6:18 pm

I think you have the most potential for mega bucks. A lawyer for Dembele alone will see you be able to get 2 or 3 top class players.

There will be an element of luck in getting the best lawyers offers. You could get two crackers in preseason or be like Bam and wait weeks to cash in on Henderson.
