News coming out of the Port City of Genoa tonight is that manager Reggie Blinkered is considering his position at the helm of the club.

Reports suggest he has grown disillusioned with management after his traditional views were poisoned by the futuristic black magic approach of some modern day managers.

Local press close to the Genoa camp suggest it is not a forgone conclusion and that Blinkered is talking to trusted advisors. However other media outlets have suggested these meetings are to secure a safe haven for Mohammed Salah before the manager departs.

Ill give ya Ribery in the Copa league for Salah in this one???:D

Like it or not, i reckon the rant by a manager on SM and the pm's and chats flying about yesterday have a lot to do with the bad feeling on here today

Being honest, despite how many transfers were done recently, it's still getting harder as the weeks go by to get top players moving around.

Used to be that you could get players for 4 times their value if you had the cash.

Then you could get a player if you were willing to p/e your best players in the process. Even then, a lot of people are afraid or refuse to negotiate.

So I just see cross-GW deals as another negotiation tool in the ever evolving process of transferring players. Fair enough if that's where some people draw the line. But ultimately if a deal is struck between two managers where both get something they want, be it in this world or another or both, then that's how the game is played.

When I made such an offer last week, I never thought that this is where people would get stroppy about the transfer market of this world....

Not getting stroppy about it, just not something that I'm going to get involved in.
Now, saying that, I cannot say that things might not be different if I wasn't 99% happy with the makeup of my squad, so I'm not going to condemn the practice. I'm just not going to get involved.

Also on the transfer market apparently stagnating - perhaps the fact that many managers have made many changes and are seeing how this season goes might be a reason? Just a theory.

Jaysus, relax, I'm joking. No one called you scum, these deals in my opinion are underhanded and I'd have no part in them, that's all.

We've about 720 posts left on this thread before it'll get closed ...

Anything else people want to argue over so we can start #3 on a civilised standing?

Might as well get it all out now.

If I get 305, or 304 after this, I hit 10k posts.. not sure if that's good or bad

Lord TSC · 24-01-2014 12:19AM

Fair enough if people don't want to participate in such deals.

But genuinely struggling to see what's "underhanded" about them (especially as I think it's not that people got "caught" doing them or thinking they were ok, but rather voluntarily mentioned it), or why some people are acting as if such admissions are akin to admitting being some sort of horrible pervert...

ctrl-alt-delete · 24-01-2014 12:20AM

I know I sold Gilardino for 17 million, but times are tough at Genoa and I can't afford to be wasting that money lighting up the office this late.

Swoody I thought you were joking about the u18 thing the other day, maybe you still are, but if not throw in bids on them and see what happens. However if I think you are on the wrong side of this latest fence then I'm afraid I can't trust you with them.

Funny that it was mentioned just days after the monitoring was turned off...

As for the bold part, that's as bad as GT and his scum comment, no one said either or thinks either, it's hardly that drastic, doesn't mean its right though

Rayne Wooney · 24-01-2014 12:23AM

The jury have found the defendants not guilty of any crime, however the honourable judge Wooney would like to say that if it is a choice between gaining an advantage by selling a player in another world to get one in this and not doing a transfer at all, he would rather not do a transfer at all.

Court dismissed

I just read the implication in your 'there are still some decent people here' as meaning you dont consider those that have admitted to a cross GW transfer as decent ... but Im over it:D

People can make up their own mind as to who they will and wont do deals with on the boards league ... I've some teams I'm slow to deal with as the counter offers are always ridiculious

No matter what peoples opinions I'll still consider offers or do deals in the boards.ie league with anyone willing.

Being honest, I don't see how the two are connected at all; you think such deals couldn't have been happening with it turned on?

As for the bold part, that's as bad as GT and his scum comment, no one said either or thinks either, it's hardly that drastic, doesn't mean its right though

Plenty of people seem to be implying they will refuse to do business with people who preform, or even condone, these sorts of deals for some reason. Acting as if people are doing something morally wrong. Its not cheating, and it's barely shady imo. I get why some people dont do it, but comments implying they now know who people really are seems worrying and OTT considering whats involved
