First topic message reminder :

Please can anyone who is in the realistic league and can see this please post below!!

Seeming as we only have one bid from Hero today I will put my two pennies into the pot

Savic - Yes, good money, dunno why Hero wants him tbh

I say yes too. But the guy is the worst defender I've seen that's meant to be good.

Well on that note I'll pass lol, I'm just in desperate needs of someone that can play right back this week!

Buy a RB then not a CB then

He can play both positions, there is seriously not much out there as right back cover.

Shouldn't have sold Naughton

Have a look, Matthew Lowton who has gone to Villa is a very promising young RB

Ryan Taylor, can play RB and LB, £6m

A little early, however;

Sime Vrsaljko to Spurs - No, more money, stories in January had his rumoured fee at £12m and £12.9m.

Takashi Usami to Liverpool - No, more money, the move to Bayern broke down due to their refusal to pay the €3m asking price. Approximately £2.4m.

Jack Butland to Chelsea - No, more money. Birmingham (not West Brom) have already rejected a £6m bid from Southampton.

Gary Hooper to Stoke City - ???

Vrsaljko - No, seen more money also
Usami - Yes
Butland - No, wrong parent club, nowhere near enough money. Needs to be upwards of £6 million for Birmingham to consider
Hooper - No, I don't think Celtic will sell him, and also this season he is enjoying Champions League football. Sorry Marky

Butland will only go to a small club if he is 1st choice.

Vrsaljko - Never heard of him
Usami - Meet asking price
Hooper - No

TSJ Chelsea aren't a small club lol

I didn't check who put in a bid for him I was just stating a fact though

May I just mention that the stories regarding Vrsaijko's price include Kovacic who is the main target.

Actually stand corrected, found one stating 12.9m to Arsenal in the Mail. Silly money there.

"Arsenal are expected to complete a £12.9m deal for highly rated Dinamo Zagreb defender Sime Vrsaljko before the end of the transfer window" - Jan 2011

"Manchester City are chasing Dinamo Zagreb wonderkids Sime Vrsaljko and Mateo Kovacic" - Dec 2011 (no price mentioned)

Neither materialised, but there's no mention of Kovacic included in the story about Vrsaljko to Arsenal for £12.9m.

Yeah okay I'd already corrected myself, no need to rub it in!

Seriously 8m should be able to buy one semi decent right back in the world!!!

Well why have you tried to buy an expensive one

Sign Lowton as I suggested, he is quality

Hero wrote:Yeah okay I'd already corrected myself, no need to rub it in!

We posted at about the same time, no need to get defensive

Seeing as i'm not getting Gary Hooper, can I edit my bid before time expires?

Nah that's a bit outside the rules Marky.

However if you just say you dont want Hooper and then put in another one that might be fine

Ive had to wait 3 days to try and get a RB, if Marky is flouting the rules I'm pushing through on Corchia my next target.

You did it the other day though?

Trebs is off, I say i'm changing my bid and apologising later

Olly wrote:You did it the other day though?

I changed one when it came out a player was already in the league, but every other time I've had to wait until the following day.

What about Savic? You changed that to the funny named guy you are after now right?

Which is todays bid, Savic was Saturdays.

BTW I have no problems with you changing Hero

I've changed it to a very ambitious bid for Christian Tello. Have a look before just saying no

Butland > £6m
Tello - No
Sanchez - If it's half his TM value then yes.

I agree with them TSJ. Would get up some answers soon though, ain't been any for days and people are getting restless lol

Can you do it?

But you have the final say TSJ. It's up to you lol

I thought we'd agreed on prices and someone else had been copy and pasting them

Blame the sinusitis.

Can someone make a list of any TP's I've missed?

I think it is Usami, Hooper and the RB Hero finally went for but I dunno who he went for

Corchia?

Hooper's a no, he loves Celtic. They were made for each other.
Usami - I saw a good answer to that in this section.
Corchia - I can't decide on that.

I would say

Hooper - No
Usami - Yes
Corchia - Yes

If Marky agrees we can go with that.

I know it's late, but i'd agree with those two.

Right people I need your help in running this please. Ideas etc etc

I have a season two timetable.

Just for now mate, keep the league running exactly the same as I've done it. Only add new stuff at the start of next season, at the earliest halfway through this season.

No I was only going to do it at the start of next season. And any ideas you had for season 2 would be greatly appreciated

I'd suggest getting another person in the admin for this, seeing as Trebs and Hero won't be around too much. Nando and/or GSC?

I'd definately get Nando in as he is now a co runner, might as well get GSC in as well. But I fear Hero is the only one who has the power to?

Hi all, let me know who you want in and I can add them

Hero could you let GSC and Nando into the admin section please

Trebs do you think there is any chance you could just put send all predos to Nando and Olly on the tactics page to remind people mate?

Also what were the ideas for season 2 and the timetable? They could be helpful lol

Could add some more cup competitions and be super realistic. It would have a busy schedule. How would people feel about two games per week at times, assuming you win all the games.

I think I would have to change the rules on players, maybe have three injuries per game (as it currently is) and a rule that players can play 15 games per season maximum? I don't know. But it depends if people want to turn it into a squad game or not. I was thinking a League Cup could be for Under 21s, or have a minimum of 5 U21 players playing, something like that.

League Game 1
League Game 2
(midweek - CL/Europa Group Stage)
League Cup Round of 16
League Game 3
(midweek - League Cup QF)
League Game 4
(midweek - CL/Europa Group Stage)
League Game 5
League Game 6
(midweek - CL/Europa Group Stage)
League Game 7
League Game 8
(midweek - League Cup final)
League Game 9
FA Cup Round of 16
League Game 10
League Game 11
FA Cup QF
League Game 12
(midweek - FA Cup SF)
League Game 13
(midweek - CL/Europa SF Leg 1)
League Game 14
(midweek - CL/Europa SF Leg 2)
League Game 15
FA Cup Final
Champions League/Europa League Final

Cheers Trebs, looks like it's gonna be a busy season lol. Don't think I will do a League Cup as well as a FA Cup tbh.

Just wanted a reason to do a U21 cup tbh.
