It would also put me down by my best player for about 10 weeks, and for a paltry sum. I couldn't possibly replace him with that.

That's pretty much for first choice XI!

I've taken a bit of a risk by overhauling most of my team over the past few weeks and offloading some of my better performing players (Turpitz, Iriome, Urribarri, Valentin etc) to bring in a fair few from that list. It looks as though we're both on the right track in terms of scouting as pretty much all of them are performing well!

Also cheers for D-Rod, he's been superb for me in the AM role

Oh and Mahachi is still of interest if you're open to selling?

Would rather keep D-Rod however I could possibly use Mandanne.

Cool no worries, don't have the squad space for any more cash signings although I'll keep it in mind when it comes to Lawyers

Felipe Campos and 100k for Shamrani

ENQ

Ok no worries

Its a good offer however I'd like to keep hold of both of them for now. Really happy with the balance of my starting XI so I'd like to keep them all together for the time being.

Although I am going to accept the lawyer offer for Mandanne if you're looking for another forward

I've no room for Dae sorry.

With my squad at its limit any future incomings are likely to be youngsters who I'll gamble on getting a ratings rise ahead of season 2. I'm pretty content with my season 1 squad and Grimsby look pretty unstoppable at the moment anyway!

You really like Hyam, huh? How much you got? Problem is really that I need cash, not players.

I think you've gone higher than that before! I'm not desperate to sell, really. I saved my money to buy Laribi and some sly git got there first

I think I'm still some way higher than that on him, he's probably my best player.

£220k for Pablo Alvarez?

No worries, just testing the waters in case you were tempted to accept the Lawyer offer. Stats wise he does look a top defender.

Luis Ibanez can potentially go for cash if he's still of interest to Morecambe

I'd accept his lawyer value of £250k.

He's injured this week though so can wait until after tactics bonus if you're short on cash.

I've confirmed

I promise he'll have a better injury record than Valentin....hopefully!

I thought it was £225k but its actually £315k! Got yourself a bargain there

No its fine its my mistake I should have checked properly, I'm a man of my word and agreed £250k so its fine for the deal to remain. Although lesson learned!!

150 for Gaston works for me, by the by

I'm in no rush, don't worry. As long as you don't Hyam me and come back in with a lower offer

I may have to hit pause: he's started on fire in the MLS and his value is already up to 315k!

I'm struggling for squad space as it is so certainly wouldn't have room for that type of deal.

Realistically I think the only way I would sell D-Rod is for a cash offer significantly higher than his TM value.

I'd be looking for at least double his current TM price, he's comfortably my top performing player and one I'm happy to keep for season 2 unless I have a real incentive to sell.

Campos for Manu and 200k

If you are looking to raise funds.....

Would need to be straight cash tbh

Would also be largely dependent on the result of my next game, if we beat Grimsby and close the gap to 4 points then I'd likely keep him to spearhead a title challenge. Any other result and I'd be inclined to sell.

I might be in for Mahachi, just need to see if I can make room in my squad

Tempting for the cash boost but would rather stick with Tutino for now given his increase as I’d have to wait to cash in properly without releasing

God no, he’s too good

£200k for Grant? Beats his lawyer offer.

Would probably take a lot of cash for me to consider

For player exchange it would be tough tbh as he’s 73 rated at dm going on the calculator - so would be one I’d be happy keeping next season

I'm actually interested in him for him. Not the potential increase.

Happy to put some kind of clause in the deal based on tm value if that helps?

I don’t think I’d get anyone as good for that so would need a good bit more really

Mahaci looks class but I’m already stocked in attack

Daniel James and Karlan Grant would be the two I'd be keen upon.

What about trade wise is there anyone you'd be after?

Nein deal

Probably not, I’ve finally found a system where I think he’ll shoot

I got 300k spare mate. Do you want it?

Up for any deal....tis a slow day

Basically needs stupid money (or trade equivalents).

Might be tempted in a couple weeks. If I can’t win any games soon then I may abandon all my players to die in places like Morecambe

Yeah but not Madisha. He isn't Fifa now and looking for next season.

Campos is the one I would like but you are keeping him right?

I wouldn't say anyone is off limits right now apart from Aliendro (who i won't have until next season anyway). Olsen, Kamara, Anuar and Edu are the ones I would LIKE to keep hold of. But I know you got to take a hit to gain sometimes.

I was going to do something along the lines I offered Trebs - Singh and x for Campos and Grant but see Grant is worth a bit more now!

I am prepared to take a hit in my forward line to get a CB and someone else basically. I quite like Grant too but I am guessing you want to cash in on him?

I have no players that are of that value to give you, only players that will probably reach that value in the future. Aliendro being one of them, Kamara and Anuar being others. Oh and Edu

So it is whether TM value is more important to you - which I wouldn't grumble about because it is fair enough. But for me Aliendro is worth more than Grant. Just not in cold hard TM cash it would seem!

Ok, given that I really can't see him being 720k for very much longer due to his form, how much more would i need to offer to get Campos and Grant?

I can't offer 2m that Grant is currently so I am banking on your good old football noggin thinking the same as I do - that Edu is likely to be worth much more in the near future

Ok that is cool.

Shall we pause now for a couple of weeks and see where we are at after I have got the cash? Edu might have a price rise before then I suppose too. Might make the deal a bit easier when I actually have the funds.

Just let me know if you ever think about selling Grant and Campos before then please.

If you still wanted Sparv for cash I could probably let go for 600k

£520k?

I literally just sent Tactics with him in, do you want me to change him or will you not use?

Cool nice one 

Sparv fits them well too, looks like a Viking! He was always brill for me and would’ve been good enough for next season but have moved formation to get more attacking players in seeing that’s the bit I’ve got right.

Going to a German game is on my to do list, sounds like they’ve got the perfect setup for fans! Hamburg fans are class too, they have a connection with Rangers, can find videos of them singing Gers songs at their games  Was only a few years ago they were playing Celtic and Glasgow went mental with them all getting ranked up in Gers bars before the game 

I’m the same way for watching games, used to be playing too, but struggle these days with work
