    figured for 5m...even if he only manages 30min sub appearances ... not a huge gamble , if it doesnt work out I'm sure a D3-4 team would take him for a season before he retires

    Another similar signing to yesterday.

    The offer for Ricardo CARVALHO of Corinthians from Tottenham Hotspur has been accepted. The transfer will be completed within the next 24 hours.

    7.8m bid accepted for a 7.7m valued, 90 rated defender. At 35, he's older, and could be hit with a rating drop, but at that price, if he stays that high for a while, I'll be happy. If he drops, I've still got a very good squad player. He was traded early on from Real Madrid for Pato, and came up yesterday when his transfer ban was lifted.

    He's not played much for Madrid in the last year, but is on his way to Monaco for the next season, with the option to have his contract extended next summer. Hoping that their probable rise to the champions league will keep him high enough.

    That means 10 of my 11 first team are rated 90 and above now :)

    I'm weighing up what to do with Sigurdsson now. He's not in my starting line up now. On the one hand, he could be sold and I'd probably get enough to buy two more squad players. On the other, he covers a good few positions and is a good back up. Not sure.

    I've a bid in now on another CM squad player, and I feel my backups don't need to be 88-89. I'd nearly rather have two players at 83-85 with a potential to rise...

    Cheers! First I've heard of soccermanager.com tbh but I wasted much of my teenage years and early 20's playing Championship Manager and Football Manager so this looks right up my street...

    On a related note, I wish I knew if someone was going to take Benfica :(

    There's three players there I'd want to put in bids and offers; if no one takes the job before the 7 day deadline, then it strikes me the cash will be the most important aspect of grabbing some players. If someone does take it, then I'd hold on to one or two of my fringe players (like Siggy) and use them as barter tools, offering decent replacements to the team and the manager, cause I know replacements can be hard to find :(

    Unless someone takes over I won't be signing anyone there.
    There's two players I want but chances are cash will be the deal breaker which basically knocks me out of the running :D

    *Also I sent you a PM*

    Cash wise, I could probably afford one of them, based on one other deal with an external I'm waiting to come through. I know that all three are short listed by teams who have shown more financial prowess than me though. One is shortlisted by 12 different teams, one 8 and one 9. :S

    Pm replied to :P

    So 18 league games left, whats everyones target now?


    I think with Lazio, if the good form continues and we can turn a few draws into wins we can push for automatic promotion, but my more realistic aims are playoffs


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,650 ✭✭✭Munster Magic


    Vorm and Samba still up for sale, have offers in from unmanaged clubs which I will accept if no one else is interested

    Newcastle

    Im hoping for the playoffs with inter - had a shocking start to the season but am on a 10 game unbeaten run now, tho im away to leaders zenit tonight:eek:


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,752 ✭✭✭Mr Blobby


    I'm hoping for a top 10 finish plus winning the Cup.

    Doing pretty well at the moment... Considering we were 19th when I took over.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 42,471 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lord TSC


    5th at the moment in Div 1. Only 8 points separating the top 7 so could go anyway really. I'm aiming for a top three finish.

    A win against Dortmund will make me confident of it tonight, but given I've won my last 4 matches and he's lost his last 4 matches, a loss for me seems inevitable :P


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,515 ✭✭✭tupac_healy


    Fabrice OLINGA has completed his move to SS Lazio from RCD Mallorca for 1,000,000 plus Enrico ZAMPA and Vittorio SALUSTRI . All other offers were turned down.


    Woo hoo! Close one that!!!
