    Lots of complaining about lack of 90 rated players.... Here is one in his prime on the way tothe WC with Italy and only 2 more bids?

    And to be fair the 2 bids are not even close to Porto, surprised at that in fairness considering how rare 90 rated players are!!!

    I've not bothered sending a bid in myself, mainly cause I've got a few 90s in midfield, wouldn't see him as an upgrade (especially with what it would cost to bring him) and you've made it clear Porto have a bid in that won't be beat :)

    You know why I'm not bidding ;)

    A. Porto are ahead, we are talking, no solid bid as of yet but heavy interest. You said it won't be beat, not me..... Would be interesting to see if it was!

    And

    B. I was more making the point that 'in general' when 90s come on the market people should make a proper effort to get them rather than moan when they are not ;)

    Threw a bid in, would have gone more but it seems my chairman thinks my forward options are good enough for the oncoming relegation battle....

    Well in fairness I haven't bothered bidding, as you want p/x. I have a ball of cash and it's mostly no good as nearly everyone wants p/e.

    We're not all lucky enough to have a bunch of up and comers to trade

    Go out and get them! Thats what I did!!

    Look at the transfers I did when the season was finished, almost every single one was part ex for promising players!


    You say you have a ball of cash, invest it in up and coming players, when their bans are up use them as trading cards, thats how you use cash in this GW ;)

    I know mate I'm researching and trying to pick up anyone that looks promising, it can get very competitive against the bigger clubs when it comes to bidding for them though :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,752 ✭✭✭Mr Blobby


    And... now they're back :pac:

    Its hard but they are out there, I have 2-3 very promising young players on my shortlist that nobody else has but I'm concentrating on my first team at the min!!!!!!

    What club are you, I'll steer you towards one or two ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,515 ✭✭✭tupac_healy


    Lazio & FC Porto have reached official agreement on the transfer of Candreva to Porto in a swap deal for Tello ;)


    Porto needs the cover in midfield and I'm sure he has irons in the fire regards strikers!!!!!


    Candreva off the market......

    watched Udinese vs Lazio at the weekend, man was he shít. if it wasnt for Klose's dive he wouldn't of done anything productive in the game. Hernanes's winner in the 90th minute was sweet tho.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 949 ✭✭✭The Governor


    Tello is a superb acquisition fair play :eek:
