Phil930 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Quick bit of help needed here guys. Never had Sakho before, and always looking for long term signings. Buying/Selling: Buying Player Name: Mamadou Sakho Your Team: Chelsea Buyer/Seller: PSG Player's Value: £6 Million Offer: £22.5 Million (20M 48 mths, 2.5M upfront) Transfer/Wage Budget: £20 Million Terry and Luiz have been solid all season; no reason to drop other than preparing for the future/rotation. City are interested in Luiz though, and a big offer might tempt me. Also, Alex is reserve CB but I plan on selling due to age. Sakho could be long term replacement for Terry; just had no experience managing him before. Edit - I should also note that Kalas and Chalobah are looking very good and will come into the first team picture over the next 3 years. Possible future could be Sakho, Kalas, Chalobah and Papadopolous (yet to bid for) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a serious look at Boyata, he can turn out to be outstanding. Also there's Kjaer and a guy who I was tracking but ended up at Barca Hoewdes (check spelling on that one). If you can get any of those significantly cheaper, I'd leave Sakho... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possible future could be Sakho, Kalas, Chalobah and Papadopolous (yet to bid for) Sakho is easily a world class defender and very well rounded. He is quick on the turn, composed, decent on the ball, exceptionally strong and a great marker. On top of that he is a great influence on the team with his spirited personality and high influence. He is easily worth 22.5mil in my opinion. btw. Make sure you try to develop Chalobah well, with his speed and ability on the ball he can really bring something special to a back line imo. Make sure he gets tutored at some point and maybe try to loan him out to a club where he can get first team football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkjellander Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Buying/Selling: Buying Player Name: Andrea Bertolacci Your Team: Southampton Buyer/Seller: Roma (Bosman) Player's Value: £1.6 Million Offer: Free Transfer/Wage Budget: Wage budget getting very snug. I have the opportunity to sign Bertolacci on a free at the end of the first season (currently in January window). He is rated 4* CA / 5* PA by my top scout. The main challenge is that I am already knee deep in midfielders and he'd be the 4th expensive salary signed over the summer. He'd most likely fill the role that Cork occupies now, and sometimes play alongside him instead of Jonas Svensson / Wolff Eikram. Vass is more or less a given in most games. Has anyone had any experience with him in other saves that would warrant replacing any of the aforementioned? Cork seems almost tapped out on potential, but his attributes look better currently. He does tend to annoy me with his endless tap-backs when someone passes to him, instead of looking upfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikal Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Bertolacci can turn into a class player, and if you can get him for free I'd say give it a go, you can always sell on in a season or two if things don't work out. What season are you in? See if you can lower his wages but increasing bonuses or something Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkjellander Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I am in the January window of the first season, and he would join over the summer.

He does tend to annoy me with his endless tap-backs when someone passes to him, instead of looking upfield. I brought him in for Newcastle in second season on my save, unfortunately he found it hard to displace Yohan Cabaye from the Deep Lying Playmaker role so I eventually let him move after 3 seasons. I think he could be a cracking signing for Southampton though, his attributes did improve quite a bit for me even though he wasn't a 1st team regular so he'll probably look better than Cork if you give him the game time. Was a bit of a goal threat for me as well, scored a few screamers and did a good job in a more advanced role when called on at times. Well worth a punt if you're getting him for free.

tomtuck01 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Buying Player Name: Thiago Alcantara Your Team: Chelsea Selling Club: Barcelona Player's Value: £5.75million Offer: £5million - £50k p/w wages agreed Transfer/Wage Budget: £63.4million/£1.9million (Currently spending just over £1.5million) Patch: 12.1.1 Season: Halfway through season 4 Currently transfer listed by request at Barcelona due to a lack of first team football, Thiago is available for an excellent price. My issue is that I'm not sure that I need him because in my suad I have a lot of players who can play the AMC role. The three main players are who fill the role are; Willian Juan Mata Neymar Now none of these payers have nailed down the AMC position. For starters Willian usually plays AMR, and with Neymar and Mata, well it just depends who else is in the starting XI. I also still have a 36 year old Frank Lampard performing at a very high standard, and a 23 year old Gael Kakuta who plays in any of the three attacking midfield positions in my 4-2-3-1 system. Should I go through with the deal for Thiago? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you not use Rodwell as a B2B/BWM and Barkley as a B2B/CM (auto) if thats the case? If you were going to sign Thiago for a more attacking role I would say you will need to offload someone or else it would just be a waste. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomtuck01 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Well I don't use a box-to-box, and for balling winning midfielder I have John Obi Mikel, Ramires, (surprisingly good in that role), and Oriol Romeu. Having said that I will probably cash in on Mikel at the end of the season, and of course Rodwell and Barkley can both d the ball winning role. Hmmm much to ponder. Cheers for th reply SRL88.

Take the money and run, giggling hysterically, all the way to the bank To be sensible though, I would sell and use the money to buy in a specialist fullback or two if you've been using Luiz to cover there. I certainly wouldn't give him that big a hike in wages. You've got cover at Centre Back and depending on how you spend the fee for Luiz you might well have enough left over to bring in someone like Vertonghen if you decide to.

I signed Benzema for Sunderland in the 5th season his demands at first were quite high he wanted 135k a week in the end I got him to agree on 80k, also his match and goal bonus went from 23k to around 11k. Got Tevez from 220k a week to 125k. It is a bit hit and miss at times, let us know how you get on been thinking of having a Chelsea save at some point and would want to get the wages down and keep most players on under 80k once the big earners had been sold.
