The bargain basement transfer game

[keniget]

This should be a topical thread given the recent surge in hysteria around our perceived lack of spending power and action in the transfer market.

The rules:

1) You start with no money up front - all purchases must be funded through player sales.

2) Alonso is not for sale (it'd make it too easy). Neither is Masher.

3) You must adhere to these valuations:

Lucas - 5M
Babel - 5M
Voronin - 3.5M
Yossi - 5M
Degen - 1M
El Zhar - 1M
Insua - 2M
Aurelio - 2M
Dossena - 3.5M
Arbeloa - 3.5M
Riera - 5M
Leto - 2M
N'Gog - 2M
Cavalieri - 3.5M
Bulgarian keeper - 0.5M
Shitandje - Free
Anderson - 1M
Hobbs - 1M

I know this isn't exactly what you want to hear, given the game, but I don't think the accounts just release mean we'll have no budget to work with before sales.

Oh, I know. I think we'll see at least one big signing.

It was just a bit of fun.

 

[ibromurph]

With your valuations, there's not much money there to play with Keni. Give us a bit more rope with the figure. I.e. Yossi after a great season would be worth at least 8m (not that i'd sell him). Babel should fetch another 8m.

 

[Rosco]

Dossena, Voronin, Lucas , Anderson, Hobbs= 14m

Buy Dzeko, win league.

 

[Terrier]

Sell all except Yossi + Riera....


Giving us approx. 36m.


Buy Tevez for 20m

Buy Joe Cole for 8m

Buy Huntelaar for 8m (worth a punt)

Lucas - 5M
Babel - 5M
Voronin - 3.5M
Degen - 1M

N'Gog - 2M
Cavalieri - 3.5M
Bulgarian keeper - 0.5M
Shitandje - Free

27 million there and the keane money gives us 40 million. it'll easy pay for a right back and a left winger and we'll have 10 million towards a striker. bonus is we'd save money on shampoo and come on who'd we miss from that list?

 

[Oncy]

Lucas - 5M
Voronin - 3.5M
Degen - 1M
El Zhar - 1M
Dossena - 3.5M
Leto - 2M
N'Gog - 2M
Cavalieri - 3.5M
Bulgarian keeper - 0.5M
Shitandje - Free
Anderson - 1M
Hobbs - 1M
=
24m
purchase -
Silva - 17m
Kerrison or Zezinho - 7m

 

[keniget]

Sell: Anderson, Hobbs, El Zhar, Lucas, Babel, Dossena, Voronin, Bulgarian keeper, Leto, Cavalieri = 25.5M

Leo Franco - Free
Kalou - Free (he hasn't signed a new contract yet, has he?)
Sturridge - Free
Danny Murphy - Free

Assuming those fucks take 5.5M in signing on fees, that leaves us 20M to sign an awesome attacker.

I would really like to see us get him

 

[DCH]

Lucas - 5M
Babel - 5M

Arbeloa - 3.5M
N'Gog - 2M
Bulgarian keeper - 0.5M
Shitandje - Free

About 30m. Service the interest owned to the banks thanks to our owners....

Or spend
15m for Ronaldinho (Anyone else bar tuncay will leave us short in other positions)
12m for G.Johnson
3m for Distin.

Sorts our left mid and right back problem (The image of arbeloa losing the ball when we were 2-1 up against arsenal haunts me everyday.) and leaves cover for our centre backs in Distin.
Insua would have to really step up to challenge Aurelio and Gerrard might have to play more in centre mid if any injury happens to alonso or mascher.

I read somewhere recently that Kuba has said he intends to stay with Dortmund for at least anther season. He is happy at the club, family likes living in the area, blah, blah, blah.

Sorry P, I know you are a big fan. For what its worth, from the little bit I have seen him play, I believe he would be a great addition to us as well.

I'm not sure how relevant these comments players make are Count, it seems that 5 minutes after saying they are staying they are on the move.

He would represent excellent value. I have no idea why his valuation seems permanently set (in the media) at £8m or £9m he seems way under priced.

 

[keniget]

Sturridge has already signed for Chelsea? Really?

 

[KopPoNok]

can't be sure about the sales figure, i'll start with the conservative squad signings before sales:

damien duff, steven taylor (backup for CB and RB), ricardo quaresma (on loan)

if we manage to recoup enough money, sign tevez.

 

[Glock21]

Babel is rated at least 8 mil.

 

[rage]

going off that list and people's reactions to who they'd like out, bar torres, skertel, agger and yossi, how much crap rafa has bought in the last 2 years. we could sell at least 7 or 8 players for 40 million and not notice them gone. only issue is we will not manage a mass clear out of the proportions needed in one window.

 

[Insignificance]

Appr 26 mill in.

Buy Owen (free), Tuncay (4), Silva (19) and Demidov (3).

Win the league.

 

[MaBigTip]

Im not here to play the game, but I am here to suggest a good bargain rb, who could challenge for a starting stop with Arbeloa, Massimo Oddo. Would be relatively cheap, and he is good going forward, quite similar to Arbeloa but at least we'd have competitino and cover.

 

[LFC_DO]

[quote author=DCH link=topic=33993.msg882595#msg882595 date=1244179263]

Or spend
15m for Ronaldinho (Anyone else bar tuncay will leave us short in other positions)
12m for G.Johnson
3m for Distin.

[/quote]

That would be the most depressing summer in years

 

[HC]

I'd love us to take a punt on Ronaldinho.

It's never going to happen like, but yeah it'd be nice..
