I suspect that domestics could be rather entertaining - with so many good players already in the league.

I have my target, and hopefully the size of the offer will be too much to turn down.

Welshy, it will be

So plans are - get my target, and then release half my squad to pick up the players I want in foreigns.

I've gone through my squad and pretty much selected the first batch to be released - but it is a bit tricky as several players I have little knowledge of but they are young brazilians in the main tied on long contracts so will keep them until I have made more research. Having a very big squad (like GMW) does come with some complications although you wouldn't have thought so.

Welshy, I know a bit about Porto so If you ever want to know if a player is a worth keeping, or just a dud, just ask

Who is in charge of releases?

I think we really need a transfer confirmation page. It's a very easy way for players to see who has and hasn't been bought and avoids all confusion.

Agree.

I meant to add it to suggestions. May as well copy and paste it there.

It's a massive squad

The likely to stays fall into 2 groups - players that won't be released but could be used for trades + players who I do infact intend on keeping but could be tempted to move on if the right deal comes along.

Is there NO chance of the players who are "staying"?

It will take an offer I cannot turn down mate

Before domestics start:

All players at Benfica can go for the right price. Make offers!

GMW

I mean if someone wants to offer big money for Hulk, James, Fernando or Moutinho then go ahead - but I will only trade if you put something pretty tasty on the counter.

N21 - do you roughly agree with the players I'm planning on not releasing?

Number 21, are you in charge of releases?

hold on lads, one minute and counting!!

Open

Confirmation page?

Temporary confirmation page.

I'll tidy it up if LRF gives it the go ahead.

Fernando isn't that good

BUY MY PLAYERS!

Hmm I heard good things about him, ah well he'll be open to offers in that case. Good offers

No offers for any of my players yet..
