i don't want de rossi as if i'm losing navas i'd like a like for like replacement.

What about this

Alba + Kagawa + Llorente + Navas

=

Cole + Yaya + Higuain + Moura

No thank you than. Yaya was the player i was mostly after and you don't want to sell him(i understand why you don't tho, he's a beast of a player).

I'd deal if you include Cuenca in the deal.

Chiellini and x
For
Cahill and x?

Fair enough, okay what would you be looking at for:

Chiellini, Criscito or Hummels?

Only looking at getting one of them by the way not all three!

Giovinco would have to be included, ideally I'd want two gains to give up Schurrle.

what do you want for Hummles?

apart from Gotze

David Villa + Mats Hummels + Daniele De Rossi
=
Pablo Osvaldo + Vincent Kompany + Yann M'Vila

I see that as one gain and 2 losses, if you could sweeten it with Moura for Sanchez as well I'd be tempted.

I wouldn't be able to include Sanchez in any deal to be honest.

If you wanted it sweetened, I could add 1 of Dzsudzsak/Guarin/Aquilani to make it a 4 for 3 deal. You seem light on CM's so two of those three may tempt you.

Villa + Hummels + De Rossi
=
Osvaldo + Kompany + M'Vila + Dzsudzsak/Guarin/Aquilani
ENQ

Cole gives you a worthy enough replacement for Marcelo
Villa gives you a worthy enough replacement for Neymar
Criscito gives you a worthy replacement for Dede and is more versatile
De Rossi gives you a WC midfielder

Sorry for late replay. I am waiting for results until I decide if I will sell Neymar or not.

Villa + Hummels + De Rossi + Lucas Moura
=
Osvaldo + Kompany + M'Vila + Sanchez
ENQ

Or

Villa + Hummels
=
Osvaldo + Kompany
ENQ

Hummels, Cazorla & De Rossi
=
Neymar
ENQ

Thinking about it, if I'm putting up Sanchez, I'd rather swap Lucas Moura for Cazorla. So;

Villa + Hummels + De Rossi + Cazorla
=
Osvaldo + Kompany + M'Vila + Sanchez

This week or next week, doesn't matter to me.

Villa > Osvaldo
Hummels < Kompany
De Rossi > M'Vila

That much I'm not questioning, but I wouldn't want to lose Sanchez. Something like adding Zabaleta for Richards would see you improving at RB. Zabaleta being fully fit and playing putting him ahead of Richards IMO.

Villa + Hummels + De Rossi + Richards
=
Osvaldo + Kompany + M'Vila + Zabaleta
ENQ

Kompany should be your dealbreaker, even off form he's widely regarded as one of the best CB's in the world, and it wouldn't be beneficial for me to lose Sanchez.

Having had a think, would you deal on;

Villa + Hummels + De Rossi + Moura + Giovinco
=
Osvaldo + Kompany + M'Vila + Sanchez + Coutinho

Viva?

Even if I did, that is a pretty derisory offer

Any chance of this deal? There's only 4 weeks left anyway, it's the deal you offered but with Giovinco for Coutinho added. And Giovinco would be behind Sanchez and Cazorla anyway. It would be in my favour slightly I admit, but I think it's a deal that we'd both be happy with. You'd be improving your first XI in two positions, and i'd be improving my first XI in two, Giovinco would give me a better option and i'd be happier to do this deal.

If there's only 4 weeks left his rating won't drop too much, and I could get a lawyers offer a lot better tbh. TM won't update his value that quickly

I don't think there is anyone that I want that you would let go tbh

Fair enough. Just seeing if I could get any more out of the deal. Can we do the original deal we've both offered then?

Villa + Hummels + De Rossi + Lucas Moura
=
Osvaldo + Kompany + M'Vila + Sanchez

I figure if I regret it, we end in 4 weeks anyway!

Sorry, but I don't rate either M'vila or Criscito. I was quite glad when I managed to offload both

You don't have Gary Medel, so you can never have the complete set until you have Medel and Vidal

Would be good if you had Vidal

If we do playoffs in the championship, then I'm going to need him

What would you like for Santi?

Willing to go stupid since nearly of season anyway
