The 2nd choice United keeper isn't near Areola imo.

Modric + Eriksen + Rugani + Romero
for
Fabinho + Griezmann + Godin + Areola
-------------------------------------------
This for me is 3 losses to 1 gain. So that'll be a no.

For as much as you can say he's proven himself, you can say the same about Areola for the first half of the season.

That's a better 2 for 2 deal, however, I can't see that happening because for the balance of my side, I think I prefer my players than the one's your offering.

I've then got all 3 midfielders playing as holding midfielders, which I don't need in my side no matter what formation. I need Dembele because he adds do much more dynamism to my midfield in comparison to the others.

Greizmann can play up front or attacking midfield. Eriksen better in AM, but Griezmann very suitable there and Greizmann is world class up front.

Could add Draxler for Douglas Costa to that too. So...

Draxler + Eriksen + Casemiro + Ibra
for
Griezmann + Douglas + Fabinho
-------------------------------------------------
That's made the deal worse as I've lost my right winger for another left winger which leaves me with Carrasco and Draxler out wide.

That's an improvement yes, but it doesn't necessarily help me for the future I'd say.

I'm not selling Griezmann without players that fit the same formation(s) that he does. It just inbalances my side.

Not saying the deals aren't fair or even one sided, but it means shifting about a load of my players.

So your assuming when I'm not.

Its something I'm giving thought to mate

Losing out more with Godin, even if he is injured.

Out of interest, is cash instead of Rugani a possibility?

No to both deals. Strakosha > Romero, as proven this season.

I can't see a deal, I'll be honest.

The players I currently have there are better suited to my formations I think.

Rashford can run in behind though which for me is more effective that relying on runners from midfield. Especially when my 2 wingers will be cutting inside regularly.

No thanks, doesn't help my systems really. I like Mendy as well so I'd prefer to keep. All I need now is just a top right midfielder and I'm sorted really.

Robben is a winger, need a right midfielder more suitable than both Costa and Robben for a 4-4-2 formation. I'm looking at the player I would like as well.

I don't want players cutting inside from out wide in my 4-4-2 formation though. Would prefer more direct, old fashioned wingers.

I've thought about it for a while and decided I'm not going to deal. Sorry.

Fancy doing our deal?

Makes sense for both.

Eriksen + Lewandowski + Alves
=
De Bruyne + Costa + Juanfran

Can add one of my backup CB's (Upamecano or Sanchez) for anyone if you want
