Transfer Muppet Fantasy

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

Apologies guys, a brainfart from me. Cocu still has 2:45 hrs to go and Deco nearly 12 hrs. Must have mentioned the time wrong when nominating and got myself confused.

Blame the Erdinger Dunkel!

 

[kps88]

Yeah so our deal will complete once he is sold.

Cue a late bidding war for Deco?

 

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

Cue a late bidding war for Deco?

I'll fecking murder ya' all!

 

[Cutch]

NoPace - 6 players Bale (25m), Evra (28m), X Alonso (28m), Suarez 20m, Essien 24m, Sol Campbell 25m = 150m

@Pippa Totti

On behalf of @NoPace

 

[Pippa]

Does Deco need to be a part of the deal, @Edgar Allan Pillow?

 

[Polaroid]

@Polaroid If I nominate a player (without a bid) and he doesn't attract any bids within 12 hours, can I nominate him again? The thinking behind it is to have a few last resort 10m options in case your current bids go south.

In this case, you can nominate again if it comes with a bid, this was answered in more detail a few pages back

 

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

Does Deco need to be a part of the deal, @Edgar Allan Pillow?

Yes. Please don't screw it up!

Given the much appreciated feedback from a number of people, I have decided to reinvigorate my side. On that note, I have 3 players on the transfer list!:

Aguero
Tevez
Pedro

If anyone is interested let me know

why?

 

[Pippa]

You'll see.

 

[Balu]

why?

Pol added him and has 36m left in his budget. With 20m on Müller, he can bid 16 max, but with Pippa upping it to 15, Pol can't outbid him. If Pol bid 14,15 or 16, Pippa would have to pay more. Is that about right, @Pippa ?

Wow, that's brilliant logic. I only bid 15m because I couldn't pay any more than 15m if I manage to get Helguera for 12m. I had no idea that Pol wouldn't be able to outbid me at that price!

You lucky bastard. I upped my Overmars bid to 15, because trippy has only 16 left, that's when I checked Pol's budget as well. Didn't check yours

I'm wondering if it's worth saving 10m in case I make it through to the next round. I'd only be spending that on a player that has maybe a 40% chance of playing. Hmm...

[MJJ]

Thanks. @Cutch.

I updated it a few pages but think everyone ignored it. Was waiting for my team to finish before updating but thanks for doing it.

 

[kps88]

The feck are all of you doing for Maicon!

 

[Pat_Mustard]

No love for Naybet

I recommended him via PM to someone, but he doesn't seem keen. I specifically mentioned that you were the one person on the forum apart from me that I knew definitely rated him

 

[crappycraperson]

The feck are all of you doing for Maicon!

Imagine if he comes up against Bale in the draft Or may be that is why NoPace is so desperate to get him

 

[crappycraperson]

I am still considering him

 

[Pat_Mustard]

I am still considering him

Good man

 

[kps88]

Imagine if he comes up against Bale in the draft Or may be that is why NoPace is so desperate to get him

Wait, if anything he should be happy to see him join someone else. He then has a 1 in 15 chance of Bale being a guaranteed vote winner in his opening game.

oh yes.. brain fart

 

[crappycraperson]

Maicon is really a weird one. He used to be touted as the best full back in the world before Bale completely destroyed his reputation. I guess you need to somehow convince the voters that Maicon was past his peak then. Not easy though since it would be a random cut-off

He was a beast for a few seasons from about 07-10. Probably was the best rightback in the world at that time.

 

[Pippa]

Maicon peaked from 2006-07 to 2008-09 IMO. I always thought his 2008-09 season was better than 2009-10.

 

[kps88]

I was planning on getting him myself but didn't expect such fierce competition!

 

[MJJ]

Considered going for maicon ahead of sagna...was better than alves at his peak.

 

[VivaJanuzaj]

So my final team:

Van der Sar
Piszczek -- de Boer -- Stam -- Alaba
Petit -- Seedorf
Luis Enrique -- Rui Costa -- Giggs
Vieri​

 

[Cutch]

Centre backs and centre mids are the wrong way round but other than that you're looking great.
