Depends what you offer is

I'm always listening

To be honest mate, it's gonna take something special.

Had him in the last incarnation of the league, and his rating is only gonna rise at Madrid, really like him personally

Yeah but tbh I got other areas of my team that needs improving before CB and RB was the main one in feedback

He may become available at a later point, but I wanna see how he goes for a week or two first tbh

For Ogbonna I'd want Alderweireld and a swap of Xavi/Benat I think

Zakaria Bakkali
£1m
ENQ

Bakkali = £1.5m
ENQ

Bakkali
£1m + Serge Gnabry
ENQ

Bakkali = £1m + Adnan Januzaj
ENQ

If either of you get me a semi decent RB btw I'd prefer it.

Bakkali = 1.5m + Ogbonna

Sure on that GSC?

I could up the cash

Ill stick to my previous

Riether = Bakkali then.

Hrgota + Balenziaga for Bakkali

ENQ

A replacement forward and a semi decent RB (and a semi decent LB as a bonus)

I need to have a look at my squad before I do any deals. For neymar I'd want to get back the money spent on him, I know I'm far behind everyone else and two players won't cut it.

NEIN

I'm not a man interested in profit, I'm interested in quality

Aubemeyang is about the only player I'm seriously interested in, any of mine you want?

I didn't choose Norwich. Norwich chose me

Salah is a keeper I'd rather let Neymar go than him.

I'm sorry, but I really really rate Carvajal, so I want to keep hold of him for the time being, until I see what his rating is in the league.

He's like one of the dudes I've randomly stumbled across in previous incarnations that is actually good

Potentially, not sure what you have that would tempt me plus he is playing week in week out for Bayern atm

I'd consider swapping Thauvin for Aubemeyang if that's what you're suggesting?

No thank you, rate rafinha quite highly

I signed Jenks as competition for Raf!

I'd want cash for Raf in order to bring in another target, need to raise 7 million

Yeah, sorry. I didn't want to have to write his name in my tactics each week.

Sidibe = Wendt?

I need a LB, you need a RB. Same TM values too.

I assume it's too late for a Bakkali deal?

Does my offer above interest you?

What did you want for Bakkali again?

So Januzaj + Halilovic = Bakkali? Is that the deal?

No thanks, I only wanted Bakkali as young squad player and signed Andrade instead. Bernard wont be relevent unless a) Shakhtar dominate in Europe, or b) at the World Cup next summer.

Dante, Xavi, Capoue and Aubanmayeng.

Sorry dude, have been thinking about it a lot! To my mind, Januzaj for Bakkali straight is unfair on you, but I think adding Halilovic in as well is slightly unfair on me, seeing as Halilovic is primed for a January move and now has 2 caps. I'm thinking:

Januzaj + Halilovic = Bakkali + £400k

As the deal

I don't think I can do that, I need to get the best deal for Neymar as I don't have much else to do deals.

£2m for Bakkali (ENQ as I need to think if I can raise the cash)

Think I'll withdraw my offer sorry.

I would like him and think his price will go up again very soon, but he shouldn't be a priority given that I have Hrgota, Olsen and Hyuri as young wingers/forwards.

Need to start getting some good lawyers offers for my fringe players!

Tempting, very tempting.

Would you consider adding Bakkali to the deal to balance it out in terms of value?

Take all the time you need. Only thing is if Lukaku is injured and Benteke isn't I'd have to postpone any deal, if it's not concluded before injuries.

I can't chuck in Gnabry, he's only just getting recognition and his value will increase next time around.

Benteke + Andrade = Dante + Bakkali?

I'd really rather not, Gnabry would probably get better ratings than Bakkali while he's flavour of the month so it's not worth letting him go.

Alternatively you can keep Bakkali and throw in the cash equivilant, £2m or so?

Confirmed. Benteke + Andrade = Dante + Bakkali

You were quick to jump into selling Fischer, I was going to tempt you

He was worried I was going to pip him to Benatia

TBH though, £7m is a good offer for Fischer. Not sure it would have been beaten

A blowie. Or Capoue + Rupp. Maybe.

So play a third midfielder

I completely understand btw. Capoue doesn't offer much going forward, but is very adept at DM. I think Ramsey is a pretty good CM, but as you say, tends to get forward more at the moment. I think he's better scoring goals than stopping them anyway!

What were you thinking of for Ramsey then - Xavi in the p/ex?

My plan then was to go after Verratti

Ravel + cash = Aubameyang


or


Ravel (+cash if needed) = Alderweireld

Alderweireld = Barkley
ENQ

Drogba + Alonso + Maher = Xavi + Benteke

ENQ
