tomtuck01 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 AcidBurn Oh I know what help locking wages and what not in contract negotitions can do. With David Luiz though, I just felt that his demands were a bit over the top, and it just so happened that the offer was there from Barcelona at the same time. I want to keep him, but for £29million I was happy for him to walk. The fact that he has rejected them, means I'll do my best to get him tied down. Harryseaess I'd accept, cracking offer.

I'd probably be inclined to stall their offer to see if one of the moneybags clubs is interested,if Man City or the like come sniffing around you might be able to talk them into spending even more, and avoid the possibility of seeing Cavani fire one of your rivals to the Serie A title as tom mentions. If you decide to take the gamble and sell him, I would very much recommend Alberto Paloschi if he hasn't moved during the summer....he develops into a real lethal poacher if given the chance and would probably be available pretty cheaply, and should leave you enough of the loot to strengthen a couple other areas of the squad. EDIT: His goal average for my Newcastle team isn't too far off a goal a game, and even in an injury affected season most recently he still scored 25 goals from 29 appearances.

Do you mean Vladimir Weiss? He is a good player I had him at Sunderland but he was inconsistent. I signed Vladimir Weiss for my Sunderland side in the second season he played 53 games scored 27 goals and got 39 assists finishing with a 7.78 average. Second season not as good 18 goals, 30 assists and an average of 7.42. Third season played mostly on the right wing only 14 goals but 32 assists and a 7.70 average. Although he might not reach that sort of form for you side I consider him far better than Gio. I find some of the decisions the players make on this game to be great as well, got to love it!

DandyDon Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Right, have reached the 2016/17 season on my Newcastle save and with Yohan Cabaye struggling to recover his full capabilities after a nasty injury, I've been looking for a creative central midfielder, with good passing and a decent work rate to cover for him/replace him over the next couple of seasons while some of you regens mature. I've identified several targets, my first choice was ideally Aaron Ramsey but despite agreeing a deal with Arsenal his wage and bonus demands were too rich for my blood. Some other targets I've dismissed after scouting them as the transfer fees required would be astronomical (the likes of Arturo Vidal, Nuri Sahin, Yann M'Vila would all need offers in excess of £40 mill), a couple other targets had already just moved during the summer and another major possible Andile Jali is at Chelsea who are unlikely to sell him to me as we're rivals for the league. My Team: Newcastle Transfer Budget: £27 million, could be stretched slightly if need be by making an offer over several months Wage Budget: £164,000 per week available, but prefer not to offer wages over £70,000 if I can avoid it. The Players below are targets that I've scouted and that would be affordable going by the scout reports. Player Name: Armin Bacinovic Team: Napoli Offer Required: £8 million according to scouts OR Player Name: Ever Banega Team: Valencia Offer required: £11.5 million according to scouts OR Player Name: Lars Bender Team: Bayer Leverkusen Offer required: £11.25 million OR Player Name: Rasmus Elm Club: Marseille Offer required: £20 million OR Player Name: Kevin Strootman Club: AC Milan Offer required: £26.5 million Of that batch I'm inclined to sign Lars Bender as he has very strong attributes in all three areas and no obvious weaknesses. Scouted the Belgian players Defour and Witsel, but was quoted prices of over £30 million, so they'd be last options if need be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommonufc Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 @DandyDon Yet to experience any of those players, so wouldn't be able to give you a recommendation out those guys listed; but someone I think that you have missed out, and would fit your bill ideally would be Andrea Poli. A true deep lying playmaker, with a decent work rate. I 'd have to look back in the NUFC thread to see how much I picked him up for, but if he's not moved to Inter or a big club I think he'd be got at for around £15m!

Cheers Tommo, Andrea poli is a great shout, and is on my list actually. the only reason I didn't mention him is I signed him a lot on FM11, and I'm leaning towards players I haven't signed before. However if none of the other deals come off he is the fallback. @ SRL88 pretty much made my mind up that it's going to be Bender, putting the bid in for him at moment EDIT: Got Bender for 13.25 mill in the end, cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other ST's i have are: Yaya Sanogo, Federico Macheda (loan), Dexter Blackstock and a newgen Ivan Sala very good prospect but only 18 and only just signed.

DandyDon Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I'm assuming you got Forest promoted and you're in the Premier League? if you are and he's scoring regularly at that level for you then I'd be inclined to tell Spurs to look elsewhere at that price. Last thing you'd want as a newly promoted team would the goals drying up when you lose your top scorer and you wait for any new signing to play their way into form. Maybe see if you can persuade them to up it while you wait to see if Vela or Sturridge make their mind up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
danger_mouse Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Yeah sorry i forgot to say im in the Prem now, im 8th and Miller hasnt scored in 6 games, but my other strikers are not scoring either.

Getting decent strikers on the cheap is always a problem, did Wolves stay up? If they got relegated then Steven Fletcher might be worth looking at (might be worth a punt even if they stayed up to be fair) Depending on whether he renewed his contract Alberto Paloschi might be available in your budget. I can't remember what wages he asked for when he signed for me at Newcastle, but he's been there 5 seasons now and his wages are only £53k p/w and I've offered him new deals a couple times after fending off transfer bids. Modibo Maiga might be a possibility too, I got him in second season and he only cost me £4 million from Sochaux. I also managed to get Moussa Sow from Lille in second season for a surprisingly low £7.5 million, but fairly sure his wage demands might be on high side....plus we'd qualified for Europe (not sure he'd consider Forest without that incentive, but he who dares wins and all that ) There's probably some decent recommendations on the 'Looking for' thread from the expert bargain hunters.
