rpvw Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Personally I'd offload Wilfried and bring both in. I never saw the attraction of Wilfried and he wasn't much use to me, although many other people have found him to be an excellent player. I think Mbaye Niang would be an upgrade from Wilfried, although will be considerably younger. Carlos Fierro is in a similar mould to Paloschi, both good poachers; with Fierro being the young option. I haven't had any experience with Bakenga so wouldn't know what he's like. He seems to vary quite a bit from save to save, but for me Wilfried has been an absolute beast. I'd still sell him if that would mean getting Niang and Fierro back in return, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suppose it depends really. Is he playing regular, performing well and is there a player available who is better that you could replace him with? What I often do with bids like that is choose transfer date as end of the season so I don't have to screw around in a mad panic over January, that might be an option.

SRL88 Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 He is one of my top performers to be fair and is only 24yo. I tend to rotate him with Moussa Sissoko & Nainggolan. He is valued at £8.5m at the moment. !arca have offered it as non negotiatable so I can't change anything about the deal what so ever. I think I'm putting myself off the idea of selling ha.

SRL88 Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 I never offered him a contract and I never had the option to cancel the deal. I suppose £19m wasn't a bad deal when it was straight cash. I replaced him with a regen from Dnipro who I paid £5.5m for. His main stats are passing (19), free kicks (16), first touch (20), technique (18), work rate (18) and he isn't at full potential yet. The rest of his stats are in the 13-15 range. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Llew_Arshavin23 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Buying/Selling: Buying Player Name: Marvin Martin Your Team: Málaga C.F Buyer/Seller: Sochaux-Montbé Player's Value: £4.6 million Offer: My initial offer was £16 million. Sochaux have come back with a £20 million asking fee. Transfer/Wage Budget: Transfer Budget: £22 million | Wage Budget: £200,000+ a week. Patch: 12.0.4 Season: January; 2011-2012 season I've been a massive fan of this young man for a while, some of you may have noticed that I made his player thread But, I'm in a sticky situation. Apoño is my current 'deep-lying playmaker' and has performed well there but, with the ever-increasing quality of squads within clubs like Atlético Madrid and Valencia, I'm beginning to lose touch - my season objective is UEFA Champions League qualification. Apoño by no stretch of the imagination has performed badly, I just need to step up that extra level, to challenge the likes of Valencia and Atlético for 4th position. Martin fits the bill perfectly for my Málaga outfit; passes well, can score if needed. But, I'm not sure whether I should spend £20 million on one player while leaving other positions to decay as I sign one player for the majority of my budget...

phoenixbasileus Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 You could always try part of the deal in installments to reduce the initial hit to your transfer budget I'd say he is good enough for that amount of money but you could always try haggling them down a bit though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that's not the case Cheers anyway mate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DandyDon Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Llew, a good playmaker is worth his weight in gold, but if you're worried that you need strengthening in more than one position it would be a risk to spend such a huge chunk of your budget on one player. I'd try and haggle them down a bit if possible, or see if someone of comparable quality is a possibility. Have you checked how much Newcastle would want for 'Le Dreamboat' Cabaye? He's one of my favourite players on FM11 and FM12 so far for that DLP position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yohan Cabaye, along with Dani Parejo, is my 'back up' plan Well, I feel I am one good playmaker away from a good first-team which could take La Liga by storm. But, I also need some extra depth in different positions. I'm going to be decisive and make a decision; I'm going for Martin. I have offered £11 million up front, along with £8 million going to Sochaux over 36 months and a approximated £2.2 million after International and League appearances.

Paul131286 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Just looking for a bit of advice on my riches of forwards: I am in the 2nd season with Sunderland and currently have too many strikers but all of them could do a job for me. Any advice would be appreciated. Currently have Cardozo and sturridge as my main strikers. both are amazing togther and sturridge hit 30 goals on loan from chelsea and just signed him for 4 million. Sanogo is a good impact player in rotation with sturridge. However Gyan has returned from Loan, signed wilfried (as backup for cardozo) and I also have fierro joining from chivas next month. Whickham has been showing alot signs of developing and rather not sell has I know he has huge potential. I also have Gio santos who plays on the wing, that can also play upfront for cover if needed. Ji is also in the reserves but seems decent for his age but refuses to go on loan. So in a nutshell I have the following: Gyan, Cardozo, Sanogo, wilfried, Sturridge, Whickham, Fierro, Ji. (8 strikers chasing just 2 spots!!) Thinking along the lines of selling Gyan (around 7 million and get rid of 60k wages) and Ji. Loan out whickham? arghhh to many strikers!

The next season I would sell the one who is performing the worst (aside from Fierro) and bring Wickham into the side. Does Sanogo not develop to become a top player? I realise from other threads that Fierro and Wilfried are highly rated. I do appreciate he may not get as much playing time but just feel he might have something to offer. Common sense maybe would have not been to sign Sturridge but when a guy comes on loan and bangs in 30 goals and is still very young for 4 million, it's a bargain. Add that he can play AML is also a added bonus. May try Loan out Sanogo and see how he performs on loan and if he doesn't develop then can always sell him for a healthy profit.

Seems like decent reasoning to me. If you signed Wilfried last season then I'd probably sell him and have Cardozo tutor Wickham, though if he's new obviously that won't be possible so yea I'd try to loan him to a decent level club where he'll play and tutor the following year. I'd definitely be looking long term to have an all-English strikeforce of Wickham and Sturridge. Could be devastating. PS: I'd sell Ji if you can, having too many strikers just means that noone gets enough game time and I think your other options are better. PPS: Sell Gyan too. Trouble maker.

I've had nothing but success with Sanogo but realistically you aren't going to keep everyone happy and I think the other players are going to have more to offer. Not to mention you will find a regen striker that you want and that will displace another somepoint soon I wouldn't have taken on Sturridge. He's got the pace and finishing but doesn't offer much else. You'll get more rounded players from the others on offer. Have a look for Achahbar too, he's turned into a beast in my game.
