You didn't offer me more.. that's the point. If you wanted the player that bad you could have sent me a Pm with your offer like everyone else.

Mr Blobby wrote: » This... Nobody had offered more than the Real Manager it was the perfect deal for me and Him. If I was looking for cash i would have sold to AFC Fiorentina who had offered 45M. I have no beef with anyone.. It just seems some people don't understand how there offers weren't good enough.

So if anything, I feel that he could have gone for more. The thing about player exchanges is it all depends on how each manager values the player; just cause I rate one player at one price doesn't mean everyone else does. For example, I've had two inquiries about Dembele this week. In game world, he's valued just over 11m. But I'd want at least triple for that. That may sound crazy to some, but here's my logic; he plays in four different positions on my team (m(C), am(LCR)), and in central midfield and central attacking midfield, he's my strongest player. I'd have no problem selling him for less IF I could get a like-for-like replacement or someone who was significantly better in a single position. He's also a 90 player, something which isn't freely available on the market. This, combined with the positions, means I've got no real incentive to sell him at the moment. He's a big piece of my team. Compared that to Adebayor who I sold for 13m, only 2m more than his in-game value. Quite simply, I didn't need him. He didn't play in positions that I was lacking in, and I don't rate him. No problems letting him go cheap and was happy to see a side who doesn't have an abundance of 90 players get him (even if I didn't realise Brom are only a point behind me :P ). The example of Navas was brought up. I'll clarify that the deal was not Navas for 38m, even though that's what it says on his record. It was a similar deal o Isco and Modric, in that I then sold Caulker off for 10m in return, meaning the deal was 28m + Caulker in the end. But again, it was for a player I was desperate for, in terms of lacking a good right winger. I happily paid over the odds because I had to to improve the team. Others who don't need a right winger would say it was crazy money. But I'm on a 4 game win streak, and Navas has played huge parts in that. Money well spent to me given I've risen from 8th to 5th and am only 7 points behind 1st. Kompany and Ozil both went for 50m. Crazy to some, but obviously not to who bought them. Isco and Modric is a trade which obviously benefits both teams in their managers eyes (I was after both btw; as I see it, Real get a great long term project while Malaga get a brilliant midfielder for the short term. Win/Win). The value listed in game might seem low, but realistically because it was a trade (even if it's not listed as such), the value can be seen to others as far more. Both players, imo, could have gone for 50m, but it still would have had near enough the same net result. Remember when people thought it was crazy that Liverpool were shifting off a defender for 18m? Now the same player would go for that and some may think it's a cheap deal. Swings and roundabouts. Sorry for that long post :P

The end result for me has not changed.... pato is NOT worth JUST 10mil less than Berba and nothing anyone can tell me will change that, its a brother to brother transfer, if ye see that as acceptable then fine!!!! Im just not getting caught to pay for the leftovers..... In other news..... Luis Muriel's next home looks very very interesting!!!!!!!!!
