Transfer Muppet Fantasy

It's written in his list as well. I guess he left in mind to show it was a transfer.

I had done that with Iniesta iirc and think it is the right approach as it also helps register any money differences resulting from two transfers.
 
Are you willing to sell Kaka btw?

I think you are too late, should have stepped in when he was up shit creek!

See? That's why it would be stupid to sit back and watch someone head for a insolvency, fines, etc. Even the scenario discussions sound silly...

Truth is someone would likely step in and rescue them just in time, getting a great deal in the process.
 
If you wanted to play a diamond. You let too many players go. Riquelme, Silva could have done a job.
 
With RC & Kaka gone, who else can do the job?
Aimar?
Don't think Sneijder can.

I have someone in mind, but not sure.

Suggestions welcome!

I'm a big fan of Aimar personally. Lovely player to watch, but injuries held him back badly and I'm not sure his best form was really sustained long enough to make him a vote winner here.

I remember growing up he was my favorite player outside United apart from Raul..

Aye, he was quite strongly linked with Utd when he was still at River Plate and I think that's why I initially looked out for him. I actually had an irrational dislike for Riquelme at one stage for keeping him out of the Argentina team!

Keep it as it is pol. Its just a day extra. Making nomination will be hard as not a lot of team have that much budget left and people dont want to clash.
 
@NoPace you can ask Aldo I was really close on bidding for Totti and getting him cheaply saving money (hopefully) to the next reinforcements, but ended up going for Rui Costa because I need his better link up with midfield. Great pick at this stage though, you probably will get him for 10M or something around that area, and damn. he's worth so much more.

It is time to progressively bring the auction to an end or you have people waiting for each other dragging out the process

10m for Totti would be a travesty! I'm still very close to sticking my oar in. Let's see in a bit!

You can nominate players without bidding for them, please check the OP- there is no requirement to bid for players you nominated
This means you can nominate a few alternatives

I was not aware of this rule at all. I don't think anyone was
 
Player pool is only 38, if we don't give it a push, the list will keep shrinking because so many are waiting to add players
 
Yeah so thats what I'm saying, that I wonder how much money each one will try to save hoping to reach reinforcements and having the power to dominate the market and maybe get Messi or something if in the pool
