I'm after 15 for rafael, RB isn't a priority so I won't be releasing him yet, and Rooney for the time being ill keep, as the couple of signings I'm after I can get without releasing him yet

nah, id rather release them for the cash

Evra + Rooney + RvP + Rafael
for
Ibra + Neymar + Lahm + £5m

Enq.
-------
nah defnitely not, only gain there is lahm

Busquets = £30 Million??

Hart + Welbeck + Ibra for Tevez + Cech + Mata
-------------------------------

Can't do that with Welbeck involved, think he's a very good young player, and could be brilliant later on, but he's not winger so really couldn't replace Mata. How about:

Hart + Neymar + Ibra for Tevez + Cech + Mata + £20 Million?

I'll get back to you regarding Villa.

I want to get as many players as I can before starting to make deals

ibra and a good improvement to my XI elsewhere, but ive not finished with my signings so there wouldnt be much point making an offer yet

Martinez + Falcao for Busquets + Ibra?
----------------
Think that's a relatively close offer in terms of value. However, I think having the stronger striker is more beneficial than having the stronger DM. If I got another gain somewhere else it might be a possibility.

I agree, it was a fair offer in terms of value.

But, I would rather have a stronger striker and a weaker DM, and clearly so would you or you wouldn't have made the offer!

Personally rate Robben > Sanchez tbh.
Kagawa > Welbeck, obviously.

where did you get del horno , drenthe and coker?

free agents?

Sanchez is better than Sturridge

what for pepe?

Suarez + Schwein for Xavi + Welbeck?
--------

No thanks mate. I lose more than I gain.

Pepe ???

aguero can leave if the deal is good

nah, the only improvement of the 3 is hart, and on this seasons form, would be behind neuer anyway

Cahill + Marin = Puyol + Welbeck??

Cole + Oscar + Hart = Neymar + Marcelo + Cech?

Not sure. I'd need a big gain somewhere else, as Welbeck doesn't really fit my system at the moment.

Hey, if you do want to implement the FA cup thing that I suggested I don't mind lending a hand with the extra workload (i.e. checking teams are done properly with the 5 changes)

No problem, main reason I want it in is I think I've cocked this Chelsea side up in comparison to other teams changes

I like Welbeck but I'm not too sure he's a good replacement for Oscar, especially when I have Hernandez as back up sorry

How about:

Oscar + Ramirez = Welbeck + Busquets?

Would've done that last season but Hart's not looked as solid so far this year. Might be back later though.

Just out of interest, would a £13 Million bid for Pastore be accepted? Wanted to ask on your page before putting it on the foreigns where all the other thieving gits can see it

Hart/Reina is much of a muchness for me which leaves the strikers and wingers. Neymar will be rated higher than Pedro by most probably but the drop to Welbeck is considerable so cannot do that. Sorry.

no sorry
