Nomis07 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 The ladies call me chopper for a completely different reason Is it because you spent so much time in the 70's and 80's on a chopper bike that it has rendered you incapable of maintaining an erection?

craigy18181 Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 When did he sign for City?! he didnt " Juventus coach Claudio Ranieri has poured cold water on rumours that goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon is set for a big-money move to Manchester City. Reports in Italy and England suggest the Premier League club have tabled a £63million bid for the Italy number one and are ready to offer him a five-year contract worth £12.5million a season.

tingting Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 yes i fully accept that they dont want to sell him but to ask 115 mil is unrealistic im betting in real life if some one bounced a figure of say 50 mil juventus would start to reconsider there loyalty to him Lets say a club comes for Robinho who is scoring lots of goals for your club. I dont know his value at the start of the game but i am in March and now his value is around 25 million. He is the first member you pick for your team and is an integral part of your ambition of a league title. Say someone like Barcelona/AC Milan/Inter or even Juventus comes and puts in a bid of 40 million. Will u accept that bid since its less than the 46 million Real paid for Zidane? You either try to quote them out of interest or get ready to sell him for a huge amount of money..will it be realistic then? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGB_SPURS_FM09 Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I think the whole thing is fine! Very realistic. Yes they are quoting that price because they don't want to lose him! But i guess one thing SI could do is put a cap on the whole game of say £70million so that that is the limit for ridiculous fees. As IRL you can buy anyone for £70mil, as long as the player himself wants to join! But i'm sure there will always be people who would be against that as it removes the possibility of a higher fee ever happening! Which some may feel removes the realism! I think this is a good idea PS tingting as you joined in 2006 i guess you made that name up then? Surely you could claim copyright on that and sue the Ting Tings!

gcom85 Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 there we go. Skorp has dropped a bombshell. I get bored of the "transfer fees are unrealistic" threads. They appear every year and they are always wrong. I frankly find transfer fees painfully realistic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonForever Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 thats the point im getting at if a club in real life wanted to keep a player they would all just quote stupid prices but it doesnt happen we see big big names being transfered for reasonable prices every transfer window No, not at all, because the player has some say. If Buffon wanted to go (hahahahaha... sorry, too funny) and Juve slapped 115mil on him, he'd turn in a transfer request and he and player's association would cry loud and strong that Juve was trying to put a damper on his career and keep him from doing the best for him blah-blah-blah and he might start leaking a few goals and poisoning the dressing room atmosphere, etc... They'd then be forced to do what Tottenham did with Berba, which is get the best price possible by holding out as long as possible, but the sale would have to happen in the end.
