@crappycraperson 5 mill bid made.

Not much between Best and Matthews in skill - Best has the fame factor though on his side. Slightly low still I'd say but not very far off the real price.

 

[crappycraperson]

feck off

 

[Annahnomoss]

Wasn't with any bad intentions mate, just wanted to see my bid run out before I got involved with another bid. Get the hurts though! I was waiting nervously for my bid to run out updating way too much. Now I am off to bed.

 

[crappycraperson]

I would have bid on Mathews if I knew was getting out bid on Best

 

[Chesterlestreet]

@crappycraperson: I reckon it might be a good idea to consider some sort of ultimate deadline for these auction rounds - not that I am in a hurry, but generally I think it's probably wise, not least with people having very different habits when it comes to how often they pop round, etc.

Alternatively, you could go with more of a "poker format" for the bidding itself, i.e. a format where there's an ever increasing minimum raise involved:

Current bid: 10m

New bid: 15m

Next bid: Minimum raise 10m

New bid: 25m

Next bid: Minimum raise: 15m

New bid: 40m

...and so forth.

Wut? Best was tactically far more flexible than Stan. And a better goal threat, imo. Not sure on assists though.

 

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

This is nuts. If Annah gets both Matthews and Best, rest may as well pack in!

 

[Raees]

What's the rules on withdrawing a bid - just curious?

No rules as it's not permitted.

 

[Raees]

Cool - cheers.

 

[Chesterlestreet]

In my opinion you should be allowed to withdraw a bid when there's been some sort of legitimate misunderstanding - otherwise not.

 

[Raees]

Yeah but my query was in relation to a tactical withdrawal- so that is clearly forbidden.

 

[Barney]

Worried about that Mackay bid?

 

[Barney]

Dalglish is the steal of the round right now along with Charles. The downside with Dalglish is he forces you to go 4-4-1-1 or some variation of that.

True. But seriously someone bid for Charles - its killing me.

Too late I think? He's ours as of 1.55am.

Yes

We ll keep it as it is for now. Might start rolling rounds later on if needed

Hang on - hasn't that one expired. It's 12 hrs, right? Has stood since 2 PM yesterday by my count.

No problem, man - just a suggestion in case things get too sluggish. No rush for the time being, though.

Handy player, the aul gentle giant. Nothing like that in modern football, really. You get players, big lads, who move from up front to the back at a young age - and some rare ones who can, sort of, play both roles as senior players. But at the top level? Not a chance.

Imagine, say, Drogba - a powerhouse of a forward - only he's actually a bloody good defender on top of that, capable of playing CB at the highest level.

Aye, that level of versatility is incredible. Wherever we play him, he won't be losing many headers, that's for sure. The esteem in which he's still held by Juventus supporters says it all about his ability.

Still it would be a crime to play him at CB... Just saying

 

[Skizzo]

how he got through for that price compared to some other prices flying around. ...definitely pleasantly surprised.

 

[Skizzo]

Well with Moore back there it will be ok

 

[Pat_Mustard]

We're keeping our options open at this stage mate. He's a great centre forward, but on the other hand how many teams are going to score against a Moore/Charles centre back partnership .
