DEAL !!
I can't even sell him. How much do you offer to clubs ?

Right when I took charge, I transfer listed the dead weight of the club (Bellamy, Santa Cruz, Jo, Etuhu) and made it clear they're on their way out. I started Santa Cruz out at around £17.5 and got a few nibbles. Then a bidding war started between Liverpool, Atletico Madrid and Sporting. Atleti couldn't match Pool's final offer of £22.5. Plus they owe me an additional £1.5 for 20 league appearances and another £750k for 10 more international appearances. So rising to close to £25 million.

Sucks it was to a rival club but I can take that money and invest into trying to grab Dzeko. God knows I have more than enough transfer funds as I only spent £4 million so far on Addison from Derby and £2.2 million on Matthews from Cardiff as an investment into more home grown future players.

Eh. Rodwell is iffy. City already have De Jong, Toure, Kompany and Barry as capable holding midfielders. He grows into the future England captain when Terry calls time on his international career though.

Personally, I wouldn't budge for more than £25 - £28 million since that's my valuation of him and I'd try £28 million non-negotiable. But since Everton are always tough to bargain with and City has over a £100 million transfer budget, I'd go ahead with it if you really wanted him.

Thanks for that :)
In reply to your second answer. I won't be playing him as a holding midfielder. I'll be playing him as a box to box midfielder with Barry as none of the others are over capable of this role.

For Bellamy, in 1 year he will have a large drop in ability and you'd be lucky to get £6 million for him. So for Bellamy DEAL. (He might play well for you though so I could be wrong.)

For Ireland, I would say NO DEAL. He is a brilliant playmaker and I wouldn't settle for less than £15 million. He will shine for your side for years to come. Unless you decide to have a world class replacement, even though there are few such as Xavi and Iniesta but they will need adapting and all that extra stuff so Ireland is a definite stay in my opinion.

Especially Mourinho become obsessed with Albin. Albin sad he keeps his options open but he does not sad anything about leaving for sure. However, I got ~5 offers for Albin from Inter in a month.
