Had 2 suspended and 2 injured a few weeks ago but normally I'm fine. Think with everyone fit I've 3 x 91s and an 89 on the bench. I'd let Dante go for a couple of 90s. Would like a 90/91 striker but Musa will do for now to cover Aguero and Muller

I'll take my Junior Hoillett any day over that lot!! :P :P

Really hoping Flamengo get promoted, great rival when I managed Werder Bremen last season and this will be his second straight promotion with them!

Routing for Celtic in div 4 for the playoffs he just missed out last year!

How good I forget Lazio for the div 3 play offs!

Good luck lads!

I have to get there first! Have had a horrific second half of the season after such a promising start. If I'm honest Rangers will deserve to go up in the playoffs but I certainly won't be rooting for them!

Lord TSC

Ahead of the mad rush, I'll issue the usual transfer post; pretty much everyone is for sale at Spurs, though some players will need a pretty decent "like for like" replacement. If I sell a 90, I'd really like a 90 with similar potential in to replace him.

It's unlikely Lloris, Schurlle or Modric will be going anywhere; would have to be a monster offer to get any of them off me. Turan, Pedro, Walker, Vertonghen, Boateng, Montolivo, Nagatomo may all go in "like-for-like" sales but will happily retain their services if I feel I can't get the same in/get improvements. And may offer Demichelis (89) and another for a good 87 or 88 younger defender.

TheGunns

Level with Palermo going into the final Matchday for the final playoff spot, way more nervous about this than I should be

Beefy78

It'll likely be a quiet summer in Donetsk. I've had a couple of players drop in rating but I'm not certain how I'd replace them as I've sold off most of the better players to change the squad previously.

Rossi and Diego Lopez are the only players I've got left with the value to trade out for the right players coming in. Both could go to the right offer I guess. Otherwise it is same again.

I had a great first half to season three and was in the top two for most of the year that time then had a shocking second half of the season. Then for seaosn four I had a shocking start and a great second half. Need to try to combine the first half of last year with the second half of this one!

Lads if any teams are looking to get rid of their scrap there is a lad down in cruzeiro that is setting up a scrapyard and will take most scrap at a reasonable price..

tupac_healy

Off season for Lazio??

Balotelli is a done deal, I'm still shopping for 1 maybe 2 players but nothing is looking likely.....

I will be letting the likes of Canales, Vazquez go I may also sell L Traore if the offer is right...


Other than that, squad trimming I'd say, not much happening here either!

The Governor

Won't be anything at all happening at FC Schalke 04 I'd say anyway. Would like a good younger keeper and was willing to giver Cesar (hes Benficas starying goalkeeper now) plus a good youth but couldnt find a deal unfortunately.

Only need to win 10 nil in both games and hope Liverpool lose big time(so possible:rolleyes:).

Ive been playing my reserves the last three games with the hope you can catch me.. Go all out attack next game.. I will have reserves out again

Iago

One game left, massively behind on GD to Barca.

Need Sunderland to do me a favour and Inter to not turn up preferably

Iago

As always my door is open to mutually beneficial deals.

Only Auba is relatively close to being a non-starter, but even he has his price

Beefy78

Did I see that Inter got stuffed at the weekend against Managerless Portsmouth? I think they're off on their summer holidays already so you might be lucky.

Always cautious after a team has a bad performance, they'll have something to prove this time around!

I'm not 100% sure why I'm doing this or even if I will do it ....

FCP are inviting offers on THIAGO, Alcántara. :eek:

I will be making bids public
If I feel the bids arent good enough, I wont be selling ...

Wilberto

Anwar El Ghazi gets a much deserved +4 to 80. Still nowhere near my starting squad (obviously) but at least now he's worth at least half of what I paid for him!! :P :P


On our own potential transfer activities, we're a tight nit bunch down here in Argentina and, with rising air fares in and out of the country, it's unlikely that any player (either incoming or outgoing) will be willing to fork out such an exorbitant fee that is being asked by each of the available airlines. It's a shame, but I don't think Ryanair do flights to Argentina.

eh i dunno

Every player at villa has a price. Want to lower my squad size. Nani kaka and soldado are the only ones who wont be going anywhere

The Governor

Karlo Lulic is gone to Sampdoria since September, be interesting to see how he gets on there.

Wilberto

Some big names missing out on the off season World Cup. Ecuador, Portugal, and, rather amazingly, Brazil.

Lord TSC, perhaps you'd like to explain how you let both Cameroon and Israel beat you to the top two spots? :P :pac:

Don't think we will be able to deal on this one as I'm thin on the ground but for IMO (bar possibly Pogba) THE, yes THE best midfield player (not currently) playing football today you should get SOME deal! :eek::eek:

Kishna also got +2, happy enough with that! he seems to be getting game time recently too again so hopefully Ajax can produce 2 more gems in those 2!
