Gaming The SM RedCafe League

As we are talking here now, i am willing to trade one 89 rated defender and one 88 rated defender for Kagawa.
 
Ajax offered 13mil for Vertonghen which I promptly rejected. Even my inner muppet couldnt agree to selling him on :D
 
I'm pretty sure the 'uproar' was just joking around. I was only joking anyway.
 
I only have a vague idea of what's gone on in the last page or two... but it all seems highly amusing.
 
By the way, totally off-topic... but I really think this thread (or these threads as it is now) should be moved to the Entertainment Forum. They're not part of general conversation really... and only serve as entertainment for a finite number of people.

Any thoughts? Does anyone actually care?
 
English Championship 16035. Most of the top 6 teams will be free in 3 days if anyone fancies taking a club. Hardly anyone in it.

feck off, that forum's dire!

Agreed.

I said that about WW too. But yeah I would agree.

Doing that would then make people want the WW threads moved to the Entertainment forum also. Some of the regular players in both SM and WW don't check the Entertainment forum that regularly and both would suffer as a result. At least in the General there is a wider audience and if we need to find replacements/new managers then it is more likely to happen here than the Entertainment forum. Just my opinion though.

If the threads were moved to the Entertainment forum it wouldn't affect my activity in them, but on the whole I don't think it is a great idea.

Well a move of both this and WW would

a) Nicely increase activity in the Entertainment Forum

and

b) Leave the General to it's General purposes

Ultimately, I would say to claim these threads need to stay in this forum for activity and awareness purposes alone is pretty self-serving. You could still have sign-up threads in the general, because they fade away and don't stay at the top of the page constantly (like this thread)... but really, I would say that something like this, that is about an Entertainment Game that is enjoyed and posted in by a few (relatively speaking) should be in the Entertainment Forum.

That's of course just my opinion though... ultimately, if the people in charge don't care, then it doesn't really matter.
 
I wouldnt care either way. It makes sense for it to be in the Entertainment forum. I use the "New Posts" tab anyways, rather than click on individual sub forums. The SM league is usually fairly active and appears there. But the active traffic in the general will keep it alive for longer.
 
Leave it as it is.

To get the thread back on track. Kagawa transfer listed, will listen to offers of 2 player swap, one 89 defender, and other 88 defender.

I can't argue with the first point too much. All of the WW threads and this SM thread added together come up to nearly 100,000 posts. Moving all of those to the Entertainment forum would give that a big boost (though I'm not sure how happy the EF crowd would be about having these there). You have a point about the sign up threads but what if those running games in future want to do what you did here and want to give it a break over a few days or so? Those left will likely come back to the thread - they won't forget about it completely, but in some cases you may need to make reminders to people that the thread has been unlocked in the Entertainment forum and it makes more work. And again, back to the SM recruitment threads what do we do there? I think what you're suggesting is trying to create a solution to a problem that isn't actually there. Most are fine with the threads being here and even those that don't have their own little pleasures on here that others may not appreciate.

:lol: Nearly half of your first team has got transfer bids and in most cases I don't think you've even put them on the market.
 
I posted this here because I tought more people would see it.
 
I think it's grand here. I never go to the entertainment forum, so would probably as a result become less active in this thread.

Your evaluation is too high for Kagawa. Unless both 89 and 88 rated players come to a valuation of 24mill, no chairman will allow the deal to go through. Unless you accept players who are pushing 30 years old.
 
Meh, it's not a big deal really just my thoughts on a day when I'm bored... If the mods had a problem with it, they'd have moved it by now.

Anyway big game tonight... rumour has it that 'Boro's top assist/goalscorer and front-runner for Div2 POTY Eljero Elia is being rested....

Don't i have to finalise the deals? Does the chairman still have a say in my deals even if i don't mind it?

If I place a bid for kagawa, my chairman says "I will allow you to spend upto 23mill on this player" so it is nothing to do with your chairman.

It is there to stop people trying to have double accounts or doing favours for friends.

Oh ok. STill, an 89 rated player might be around 12 million, and an 88 rated around 10 million.

Yep. Mine allows me to spend up to 28M. The chairman's valuation depends partly on the strength of your current squad and whether the player coming in could be an important part or not. You will probably find someone who will give you an 89 and an 88 def but it is unlikely.

I definitely wouldn't accept any of the offers you currently have on the table though.
 
Don't care, I post in the thread, not the forum.

I've got the General bookmarked; check the General to see what general threads I want to post in plus for WW and SM, it's easy, killing three birds in one stone. I've not got the Entertainment Forum bookmarked because it's shit; if WW or SM get moved then now I've suddenly got to frequent a forum that nobody gives a shit about and contains nothing but fecking wrestling and Big Brother threads started and posted in by total gays.

Quick look and they appear to be older players. Just depends really. Realistically, it is not a deal most would go for, plenty of wingers out there to go after instead.
