arcturus15 Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Dilemma here. Buying/Selling: Selling Player Name: Nicky Weaver Your Team: Sheffield Wednesday Buyer/Seller: Sunderland Player's Value: £425k Offer: £525k Patch: 11.3 Season: 2011/12 Planned on using Weaver as my back up to Joe Lewis for the season and alternating on form, but unsure whether to sell him and bring in a reasonable back up. Problem is that if I replace I'm likely to get his agent demanding an improved contract which I can't really afford to pay. Thoughts? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eugster Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Buying/Selling: Buying Player Name: Mamadou Sakho Your Team: Barcelona Buyer/Seller: PSG Player's Value: €2.8 million Offer: Free, he is out of contract Transfer/Wage Budget: He will be on €40,000 which isn't to bad but I am trying to cut down on my wages. Patch: 11.3 Season: In January season 2 but he'll arrive at the end of the season. I'm back with basically the same problem but his time it's Miralem Pjanic. I'm in January season 3 and can get him for free, I don't need players in his position so I'd only really be doing it for resale value, not that I need the money. Advice?

Natedog17 Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 If you do get him, which i did, you have a player thats worth 10 million. He is a very good player and works well in my team at chelsea.

I brought Pjanic into my squad on an Arsenal save and he's currently keeping Wesley Sneijder out of the AMC position pretty handily, so if you can get him free definitely do it. If nothing else it stops one of your rivals getting him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AcidBurn Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Buying/Selling: Selling Player Name: Neymar Your Team: Crewe Buyer/Seller: Inter Player's Value: £20.5 million Offer: £40 million Transfer/Wage Budget: Not an issue Patch: 11.3 Season: 2020-21 Season The fact is I do not need the money but the last two seasons a player like Neymar should be performing a lot better. Last season he scored 13 goals in 37 games with 10 assists, that is not good enough for me my other strikers got 53 goals in 57 games with 23 assists, 32 goals in 42 with 15 assists and the youngster got 16 in 34 with 10 assists. To me Neymar has gone a bit downhill from his early days with my side but he can still produce a piece of magical play to win a game. At 28 this maybe the only time I can cash in on him. Replacements Luizao The cheapest option would cost £10 million according to the scouts but has a lot of potential to become even better. Quite similar to Neymar but obviously a bit worse due to his age, I worry he might not fit into the tactic which is what happened to Neymar. Matteo Salvati Pace to burn and decent finishing but unlikely to improve that much I think he fits the role which is cutting inside from the left of a front three. Would cost around £20 million. Pol Schouten Good pace but would be my last choice. Had a poor season at Lazio due to being unsettled most of the season. The only other option would be to break the bank and bring in this guy. Castillo He would cost around £50 million but with agent and signing on fees the whole deal would cost about £60 million. I tried to talk over a contract with him in January but he demanded too much money that broke my self imposed limit. Maybe I should be more ambitious and pay him what he wants. Worth noting that Neymar is considered a club icon, any help and opinions guys? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bracken Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Acid, I'd say sell as you've got strikers out performing him and it's your last chance to get real cash for him. Even if he is an icon, the fans will learn to deal with it. As for a replacement, I'd go for Luizao or Salvati if you don't want to break your wage structure (I have one that I try to stick to myself), if you don't mind breaking it then Castillo looks fantastic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much what I am thinking, it is a hard decision if I should break the wage structure I don't want to pay anyone more than 100k a week.

Very good player who looks like he'd definintely score goals, but for my two striker roles I already have Sow, Gameiro, Lukaku, Sanogo and a young regen.

Razzle_Dazzle_Dean_Gordon Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 I've just finished the 4th season with Coventry City and have had Sergio Canales pinched from me by Chelsea (a mimimum fee release clause he wouldn't budge on). I'm looking at either Steven Defour (£12m upfront) or Paulo Henrique (£22m over 4 years), with Henrique also demanding higher wages to replace Canales. Can anyone give an opinion on who the better player is? I can see that my team will be better off with either of them but i'm leaning towards Henrique at the moment. I'd be looking to play the signing on the right side of a CM trio rather than as a DM or AMC, short passing at slow tempo with three strikers up ahead of them.

Razzle_Dazzle_Dean_Gordon Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Thanks Pelican that's exactly what I needed to know! Do scouts pick up on that kind of thing usually? I have a regen left back that gets injured in maybe 30-40% of his games (not always to the extent he has to come off) but my coaches never comment that he's injury prone on his reports, i'm sure something was said about it when I bought him though (although his injury history was clean).

I think it depends on how good your scouts are and how extensively you have scouted the player. Some things will often get missed. I bought Sebastian Battaglia, who was thought of as injury prone by my scouts, coaches, and the media, yet in the second half of my second season, he has yet to pick up a knock that has kept him out for more than a few days. I bought him to rotate with Tiote and he's turned into a first-team player Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madrid Player's Value: £25 million Offer: 65 million Transfer/Wage Budget: 33 million transfer budget Patch: 11.3 Season: 2014/15 I have no idea how we managed to land him in the first place (just about 17 Million/entire transfer budget); he's been good for us 7.4 average (not playing on the wing). His wages eat up my budget, but he's been worth it though now I'm tempted by this gigantic offer. I feel I could replace him given our current status and transfer budget, but I don't think we'll be replacing him with someone of the same quality. Do I ditch him for the cash and sign someone else for less, or hold on to him (cash be damned) and know that he'll continue to produce for the next 10 years? I would sell you can easily replace him with that money and get someone who can perform just as well. £65 million is too much to turn down especially if you need to strengthen other areas of the team, I sold Hazard on 11.1 for £40 million and used the money to sign Ramsey, Wilshere and two other players.

Braundjoh Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Buying/Selling: Buying Player Name: Jude Onana Your Team: Arsenal Buyer/Seller: CSKA Player's Value: £6.25 million Offer: £22 million Transfer/Wage Budget: £25.97 million transfer budget remaining Patch: 11.3 Season: 2023/24 Just taken the Arsenal job alongside my existing manager after managing Arsenal about 7 years ago or so, and they need a big squad overhaul. Already replaced the wingers, and the most important area now is a defensive minded centre mid. Is this guy good enough and worth the money? I know no one can offer alternatives this far in, but help with Onana would be appreciated. He'd be playing as central midfielder - support, but any suggestions are welcome.

Great talent there I'd definatley go for him, he's African aswell so even better. (Not much Good African regens out there in my opinion ) GET HIM!

Braundjoh Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 On the conformation day but want to know if this guy would be better/worse. Essomba Not sure how much he'd cost, although I think it would be about £12 million. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DandyDon Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 On the conformation day but want to know if this guy would be better/worse. EssombaNot sure how much he'd cost, although I think it would be about £12 million. Hard to choose between them, both look seriously decent. I'd be inclined to pick Onana if I had to as he's 4 years younger and might have a little more developing to do. If you could somehow stretch your budget to get both I would do it, even if just to get the benefit of Essomba's free kicks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braundjoh Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Looks like I could be selling a winger for about £16m, and I do need a couple of midfielders in an ideal world. It's annoying that the manager who got sacked sold Essomba in pre season, as I was the one who originally got him to Arsenal in my spell there 7 years ago. In fact, after I left, they gradually sold off every good youngster I signed, most of which have gone on to be global superstars. Nice going, Arsenal managers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
