Okay, before I start negotiating for Keane. Am I really fecked if I play him next to Veron? I always thought Scholes was the problem, that Veron and Scholes didn't fit in the same team and Veron couldn't play his favorite role. It had nothing to do with Keane?

Could you guys answer that honestly :lol: ? I might sell Keane anyway, but I really loved to know that.

It wasn't Keane or Scholes being the problem, it was Verón not fitting in a team that was used to playing 4-4-2. He was better suited for a three man midfield and playing the game in a different pace and style. So no, he didn't fit either because there was a fundamental clash of styles. In Europe you would suddenly see Verón become superhuman, and next weekend he looked off his game again...

In any case, getting to the bottom of it is a bit irrelevant, I can't see a single United supporter seeing those two and thinking anything other than "won't work, didn't work, SAF tried different things and none of them worked, so why would Balu pull it off?".

I see absolutely no reason why you can't play Keane next to Veron and I will happily take Keane from you when you go out.

Fixed.

Why? It's what I like so much about Schweini, he just adapts and makes the midfield work. Perfect allrounder, who can play every midfield position on a very high level.

I'm on the same page, a lot of his attributes are already present in that midfield but I could see Verón pulling the strings and these two playing box-to-box either side of him.

I think it could work. The classic "what happens if Keano is caught upfield" now requires both box-to-box players being caught upfield, farr less likely.

I'm pretty sure I would be in a minority though.

Then you had Keane, Scholes and Beckham all competing with him for a slice of the playmaking duties.

Indeed, there was an element of that. That midfield four had been so perfect, so brilliant... why? Who is he? Why should we leave him to pull the strings?

Don't think it was nasty. Well, maybe with Keano as we know he is a cnut, and maybe a bit Becks because he fancied himself as a central playmaker, and Scholes looked completely out of sorts and not very comfortable about it all.

Fact is, as far as 95% of the season was concerned it was completely unnecessary, but then in the other 5% we were found wanting. Can't blame SAF, he always wanted more. He didn't try, he just went for it and got there... eventually at least.
 
Adriano can play LB/RB/CB. He's underrated everywhere, so makes no difference.

:lol: Still don't understand why you raised him from 10 to 19M

Sorry to hear you have to leave, won't take your team though, the actual games were exactly what I did NOT want to get involved in.

No Luis Enrique and Stam? :confused:
With JT going for 34 I expected Stam to go for about 50 like Rio... And Enrique, such brilliance and versatility, an important pick...

Plus. Robben is a definite steal.
 
Zlatan money for Maicon :lol:

So crappy is soon getting Quasimodo for 40M? feck me, that's tasty. Would have expected Balu to sort out the finances to get him by now.
You'd expect Balu to be a mastermind in this game. A german playing with finances, too stigmatic to be true.

Lucho wasn't a steal, he was fairly priced. I had a 40M budget for him and expected that to make him my second most expensive player. 45M would have been top heavy sentimental.

Yeah I'd add Robben in to that list. Stam is cheap compared to Vidic, but other than that about right. Luis Enrique's a great signing, but his price is a fair reflection of his worth.
 
Well feck; didn't expect no one to bid for Davids. Not a bad player to be stuck with though.
 
Yeah I'd add Robben in to that list. Stam is cheap compared to Vidic, but other than that about right. Luis Enrique's a great signing, but his price is a fair reflection of his worth.
I'm thinking of it compared to others at his position. Surprisingly we see JT going for 34, Vidic for 43, Carvalho at 34, Cannavaro at 43(so far), Chiellini for 30... I'd argue pretty easily that Stam is better than all of them maybe bar Cannavaro.

Lucho wasn't a steal, he was fairly priced. I had a 40M budget for him and expected that to make him my second most expensive player. 45M would have been top heavy sentimental.

As for Lucho(for both of you), yeah I agree that's a fair price to him. That's why I'm so excited. I'd say 60M is fair for Nedved too and thats a bargain, because these are players that you'd expect would be inflated.
 
Wanna sell?

Not at the moment.

I think the transfer market is going to get a lot more active near the end. You're going to have a few cash strapped teams and a few who savers looking to take advantage. It's probably wiser to sell now but it's a bit riskier since you're never guaranteed to land your replacements.

I think Terry, Carvalho, Silva and Vidic are over-priced. Stam's fair in relation to Cannavaro and Thuram (50m).

Davids is a good buy as well at 20m cheaper than Keane.
 
With Ferdinand going for a shocking 48m, it sort of puts Silva at 49m into perspective, don't you think? Silva who is a much better central defender going for only 1m more than Rio "can't get a game at Moyes' United" Ferdinand? @AldoPaine18

lol

Hmm I am interested today if you are, even willing to offer most of what you paid, but you have to tell me soon because if not then I'll go for other players

Don't think Silva would get a game at United either, we have Phil Jones, Evans and Smalling.

Yeah I agree, since it's the caf Keane was bound to be costly, but I think it's an overall fair price with the votes he'll get here. Davids for 20M less is a great price, and if you look at this that way, I'd say Seedorf for 10M less than Davids is a good buy, I might be seriously bias but I'd say Seedorf is as good as Davids
