Kolo Toure is on the transfer list for a reasonable £7.5m. I won't accept any less because a Com bid will come in sooner or later at that price. He's 90CB/RB 31yo. You won't find a better deal than that; there are one or two 89's who are older, one 90 (Gallas) who's 34, but Toure is the best value experienced defender available in the game right now.
 
I'll have him Cider. Just need to wait for a transfer to go through which'll get me the money.

Edit: Nevermind, won't work out in time
 
The offer for Álvaro PEREIRA of FC Porto from Derby County has been accepted. The transfer will be completed within the next 24 hours.



:drool: 90 rated LB/LM, hopefully get him in before tonights match...
 
:lol:
I don't need a forum to tell you that You have been robbed.

Alcantra and Clark for who?

Also i hope philip noticed Ando's just on loan, and will be gone end of season. I dont believe i had many quality CMs, just the 2 + bannan who's rated 85 iirc.
 
90 rated CB, Neven SUBOTIC.

Subotic? Why a CB? I had quite a few and all highly rated. Both the 1st choice RB and LB can play at CB and are rated 90 and 89. Their backups are 85+ too which would mean shifting either to CB wouldnt be a problem. That was the whole idea behind my defence, players that can play multiple positions meaning i didnt need more than 6 or 7.

Didnt think Villa needed a CB. Either of Veloso or Vidal gets injured and it'd be Bannan who's an 85. Add to that Alcantra will definitely go to 93-94 in a couple of seasons.

No offence Philip, its your team. Just my 2p.
 
Javier Zanetti is available, 92 rating, 7.9 value. Don't let his age put you off, the man is evergreen.

Figure I could do with the cash to try get 2 80 players in place of 1 90 player. If anyone wants to bid including a DM player would help the bid.
 
Phil, as a matter of interest, why did you pull out of signing Pereira after I put my bid in? My bid was the bare minimum, so you probably would've won.
 
I think Excal has got the worst deal here. Given up a very promising defender, yes he got Thiago who will be a star but Ciaran Clark isn't anything special.

I don't expect Clark to be anything special. I do expect him to go up about 2-3 points in the next England review, and an 87-88 rater who can play anywhere in defence and DM is very useful cover.
 
First team is done, no one else on the market for me that I want or afford. going to build up the the reserves now. getting rid of some youngster of my own, some are too long-term, I need players who are a bit more advanced in their development. Otherwise my challenge to stay-up/get promoted are huge.

Because Subotic is young and worth quite a bit already. Not only that but I believe defence is the most important feature in this game, and I noticed with Preston that when one of my really good defenders were out or NMF I usually lost.

And considering how long it takes seasons to complete in this, I'd be surprised if anyone was still playing by the time Thiago reaches 93-94. I certainly won't be. Oh and lastly, I'm trying to save the team from relegation, there's no long term plan here. Create the best team possible in the shortest time is what I'm doing.
 
FFS, i don't see everyone transfers and scrutinise them.
Thiago Alcantara is quite a name which popped up inn news feed and i was just shocked.
 
Delighted to announce that Joaquin (rated 90, will play on the right wing for me) is joining Stoke in a swap deal that sees Erick Torres (84 rated AM) plus £1.4 million goto Malaga.

Also signed Adam Phillip (75 rated forward, ex-Chelsea youth) for £270,000 just for the hell of it.

That's me done for transfers for a while I think. Got a few million left in the bank if any good deals come up.
 
OK, I think I deleted a pm by mistake, whoever applied to manage Wigan please send me a pm so I know who you are.

Ideally everyone would have their caf name as their nickname in SM

robbed!
 
The reason why it's annoying is because you don't know what you're talking about.

I do.
Initially i thought you need a high rated central defender to avoid relegation.
But you already have 90 rated central defenders in Burdisso, Albion & M'Bia.

Thiago Alcantara is a gem.

Anyways, lets call each other cnuts and end this discussion.

How long do you think it will take Thiago to reach his 93-94 rating?
 
I presume goalie fitness doesn't matter, does it? Tim Weise must be a little jet lagged after arriving this morning, and is only on 75% fitness. He'll have to play though as I have no back-up:lol:
