Well, I didn't agree to Gandalf proposal earlier and said so to him. The deal with crappy is stuck and we are going with it.

Is Sorin > Baines. What say ya'll?
Yeah, 4m for Sorin to upgrade Baines is fair. You need to strengthen your team in a few positions and Baines is probably by far the weakest fullback in all the remaining teams.
 
So that's myself, MJJ, paceme, Annah done with it.

Balu hinted he is done as well.

Down to Aldo, Pol and Edgar

Nomination Deadline : 19th April, 12 PM

(as posted by Pol) Lump any players on the list before that time. Any bids before the deadline - 10m, after deadline 15m.

Yeah, I'm done. Thought that was obvious when I posted my final balance sheet.
 
I assume the idea was he would give Edgalf 20m for Carlos and everything would be sorted. The moment you mentioned being interested there he we and raised Edgalf to lev you out of the eqution, csting him a few million in the process.

Crappy only has himself to blame, acting like a loose cannon whenever he needs to stay calm.

You dodged a bullet as well, Abidal suits you better than Carlos. You only want Carlos while keeping Abidal, surely.

I disagree with this BTW. With Del Piero cutting in, Carlos would have been one man wing. Having Davids on the same side would have helped as well to cover when needed.

I disagree. I don't think del Piero ever had an attacking fullback to connect with, it was mostly Pessotto or Iuliano and it was never a problem, especially with Davids in midfield, who was no mug on the ball and made runs down the wing to overlap (not often, but when necessary he could do it). If you have an inverted winger, who still plays mostly against the fullback and wants to connect with someone out wide, I'd prefer a more attacking fullback. With inside lefts, who play more inbetween fullback and centerbacks and who stay further up the pitch when you're defending, I'd much rather have someone like Abidal. Del Piero will much more try to connect with Davids, Veron or Nedved moving inside than create something from the wing.

It also would change the style of the team. With Carlos there, you would play much more advanced. You would want way more possession. That's not how the rest of my team is set-up to play. I don't think Carlos as a fullback fits in there. If I moved to a back 5 with Abidal - Cannavaro - Thuram as the 3 centerbacks, then Carlos would be a brilliant wingback addition of course. That's why antohan said, if I bought Carlos, I definitely should keep Abidal as well, because he's a brilliant LCB in a back 5.

You have Fabregas in your starting line-up and available for sale? Do you want to raise some money to replace him? Also, you know, if someone buys a player, I get my million back ;).

Giggs fits way better in your team than Figo.
 
Aldo completes his diamond with Gattuso.

No bids running at the moment, are we done? @Polaroid @Theon @Edgar Allan Pillow Are you guys still thinking about players or do you want to save the rest of your money for the next round? No pressure, take your time of course. I'm just curious :)

Players for sale (for cheap)
Claude Makelele
Eden Hazard
Toni Kroos
Albert Ferrer

Great choice going for Rui Costa over Kaka as Eto'o and Henry already have that directness and pace. Rui Costas brilliance as a playmaker will be more important to find the strikers than Kaka's pace would be.
 
EAP gets Makelele for Ballack plus 1.

And keane is mine. Special thanks to @Balu and his extra 1m.

What do you guys think?

------Shearer-------
Giggs-Rooney-Ronaldo
----Keane-Fabregas
Cole-Marquez-Nesta-Sagna
--------DDG-------

Really happy with the three I got in this round. Wont have to spend money on those positions again no matter how far I go.

I like it. Very Utd-esque in terms of style of play.

You make them players sound like 2nd hand cars. Does it affect their value if they played in the first round? I assume you mean Adriano, fresh and ready to go.

:lol:
 
So that's myself, MJJ, paceme, Annah done with it.

Nomination Deadline : 19th April, 12 PM

(as posted by Pol) Lump any players on the list before that time. Any bids before the deadline - 10m, after deadline 15m.

Shouldnt Kaka be 15m under this rule?
 
Shouldnt Kaka be 15m under this rule?

No, its when players are nominated. Not when the bid comes in.

The same as last round.

Thankful this the last draft I m running, we should close this quickly, all teams should put in their nominations(with bids or otherwise) by noon tomorrow, as per previous round we go by when the nomination comes in not the bid, bids on nominations that come in before then start at 10m, nominations that come in after then have base bids starting at 15

Can't believe Seedorf isn't wanted at 10 millions, wonder which sum he'd go for right now. Any takers at 5? Plenty of teams playing diamonds as well.
