Team you are managing: Liverpool
Team who are buying/selling: Arsenal
Offer: 10 million pounds
Year: 2014/15
other info: I still have enrique. robinson is not doing too badly.wilson can be emergency leftback.
 
£10M? Bite their hand off. Pablo Armero from Torino plays exact same position, is a better player and will only cost about £3M at a fraction of Olsson's wages.
 
Player: Mehdi Benatia
Team you are managing: Lazio
Team who are selling: Udinese
Offer: 8.25 mil Euro
Year: December 2013
Other Info: almost 27 years old already. Planning to use him as rotation defender, so don't need him a lot. But he is too much quality for the price. How?

Depends who else you have mate. Unless you need the money, I would keep him as he'll cover both DR & CB. Also, how did he develop? Heading is rubbish in one of my saves.

i would say having him as a close first teamer, 3rd defender but close to the other two DCs.
Moreover, yeah, he is not the best in aerial ability.

I have 22mil in bank balance now as another info.
 
Player: Santi Cazorla
Team you are managing: Arsenal
Team who are selling/buying: Man City
Offer: 23.5 Million pounds
Year: May 2013
Other Info: Didn't play him as much as I did the other CM's i have (Wanyama, Bender, Mkhitaryan, and Wilshere) Is this a good price for him, after he had a dreadful season? I also got a smaller bid from Bayern Munich (20million pounds) Should i accept that and not be worried about him going to a EPL rival?
 
i prefer selling to bayern.not a fan of helping rivals.im sure u dont really need extra 3.5m.

I would defo keep despite aerial ability - not req'd to be great if covering RB and is good enough to slot straight in if needed. Are you looking to add another defender with your 22M Euro?
 
Player: Koke
Team you are managing: Liverpool
Team who are selling: Atletico
Offer: 13 million pounds

That's not a lot of money for Carzorla - I suppose if he's not been playing well....

If you can get an offer accepted for:

Mario Gotze
Christian Eriksen
Isco
Oscar
James Rodriguez
Ganso
Juan Mata

for the same money, punt him. Bear in mind Wilshere is a fantastic AMC. Wouldn't really bother me where he went to if it was the difference between being able to afford a better player.

That's the thing. Arsenal already has Armero on their books. LOL.

I'm not the biggest fan of Koke although he is better than Kara & Bolatti (I think). Do you really need 3 DMs? I would sell Koke & 1 of the others, use the other one as back-up and get a superstar. You didn't specify an age and all of the below are pretty much set in their ways so re-training limited but most can play more than 1 position....

Try:

Vincent Kompany
Yaya Toure
Javi Martinez
Daniele Da Rossi
Javier Mascherano
Arturo Vidal
Xavi
Bastian Schweinsteiger
Sergio Busquets

or perhaps slightly more realistically :P

Lars Bender
Marouane Fellaini
Nicolas Nkoulou
Kwadwo Asamoah
Ilkay Gundogan
 
Hmm then perhaps I should forget about Koke and sell Bolatti. I just realised M'vila is transfer listed on my save and I can afford him. Better idea, right?

M'vila is a much better player than Koke. If it's not going to break the bank, go for it mate. I'm presuming Koke is on sensible wages if you're keeping him as a back up? He'll still do a job if required.

not really actually, planning to spend big for a defender in the summer as the height is quite an issue for my defence.

so, deal or no deal then? I'll repost it again for those who are lazy to go to two pages before.

Player: Mehdi Benatia

Offer: 8.25 mil Euro

Other Info:

almost 27 years old already. Planning to use him as rotation defender, so don't need him a lot. But he is too much quality for the price.
Current bank balance : 22m, transfer budget is not an issue.
Issue for my defense is actually height, so he will not improve a lot.
But usually, 8.25m for Benatia is a steal, so quite a dilemma for me. Basically I don't need him that much, kinda like luxury players with not so big transfer fee.

I also plan to spend big for a defender in the end of the season, to fix my height weakness.

not a bad price (not a good one also) for him if he had a dreadful season. But anyway, I think some important questions to ask :
1. Do you need to replace him (replacing using backup players is also replacing) should you decide to sell?
2. Do you need the money for something else?

About selling to Munich :
1. If City have six or more similar players, just sell it to City. Some of them would not have a game time, some of them will play in CM, which you can expose their 4-2-3-1 formation. Some of them may ask first team football as too much competition exists already.
2. Otherwise, you may consider selling to Munich.
 
Player: Ashley Young
Team you are managing: Newcastle
Team who are buying/selling: Man Utd
Offer: £10m
Year: 2013/14
Other Info: Need a good left winger, 10m seems a good amount of money for him, but I'm not sure if I should do it, because of his high wage demand (6m a year!)

No deal for me. He's on high wages, and I don't think £10 million is that good an amount. He's 27, and that's the sort of time widemen tend to go downhill. He's also much more of an inside forward from the left than an out-and-out winger if that's what you're looking for. No deal.
