Eto'o WAS being linked quite a bit for a while but last report I saw he had signed for several years with Valencia. The young striker from Madrid, I believe, is Portillo. Isn't Makalele more of a d-mid? You guys gave me heart palpitations with your talk of Vieri yesterday, but I don't see him coming -- in fact I bet we'll see a few more small signings and then nothing until the January window. With the extra 2 teams in, which is really 3 since we only had 6 active last year, I agree that transfers will be fewer and farther between. It will take study, study, study to find those obscure players who score points and snatch them up before anyone else!
Kopite Juniors update All three starting defenders are very upset at Coach Chloe's preseason training and all have their bags packed. O'Shea, Henchoz and Bridge are unimpressed with the use of Barbie dolls in training sessions and wonder why they to stop playing to watch Rugrats all the time. "Shouldn't we be watching videos of the opposition" complained O'Shea. A Barbie shoe soon hit O'Shea on the head, prompting him to shut up very quickly and O'Shea started dreaming of Real Madrid immediately or W Connection even. Chloe is rumoured to be on the look out for a starting forward who likes Barbie dolls and is expecting inquiries in the next hour or so
You're welcome. You now of course become the default favorites for league title. And really, it was like splitting hairs trying to differentiate between the 10 teams. Injuries are going to play a bigger role this year, as we all have fewer superstars, so they'll be more sorely missed when gone. I can easily see scenarios in which any of the 10 squads ends up on top.
Not at the moment.... although I'll be watching closely. The rumour of Van Bommel is up for a serious trade offer though.
Mt Kill I know you PM'ed me. Check your email for the last offer. Your aol account, I think we need to move to get this done.
not that it is really significant to you guys, but there is some serious trade talk going on via secured media between Winning Connection FC and Kopite Jrs.
aye I see that: Yet another offer just sent to you This should keep the rest of them guessing But we have moved down a notch, not quite the blockbuster level of earlier proposals
Serious Negotiations I hear the chairman of Winning Connection FC is trying to poach the manager of Kopite Juniors.
Oh the intrigue, the mystery ... BTW Kopite Jrs refutes any such transfer talk as nonsense and denies the rumours surfacing about impending departure of not one but two players. More Barbie heads were lost at the allegation of a bust up in training as Chloe considered a switch to 4-4-2, her rationale for this was: "Well it's my Dad's favourite magazine"
In a related non-related matter Chairman of W.Connection FC has issued a "hands off" warning for his coveted Newcastle United Starlet Chopra saying "he cannot be had for any offer!"
TRADE W Connection and Kopite Juniors announce the trade of Gareth Southgate (6.5M) for Okocha (8.0M) This trade of a midfielder for a defender leads straight to the free agency pool ... go!
This trade leads to the departure of defender Curtis (3.5) to free agency and the pick up of Saints midfielder Jo Tessem (5.0) by Kopite Juniors Balance of 0. Also posted in the premierleague forum.
I know, I know. How do you do one of those rolleyes thingies!!! It's Kopite, Mr.MtKillaman Kopi was in a Star Wars film wasn't he??
Re: TRADE This just in from planetfootball.com W.Connection FC Manager Sir Jonathan Chase has anounced the release of Midfielder Joe Cole, stating that while he liked the player, he recently acquired more tallent at midfield than he needed, and that this is a football related decision not a financial one... Also to be noted, Connection has picked up Southhampton's Lundekvam to fill the void left in his defence this player is rated at 5.5 million, while Cole and Okocha are both 8.0 million
Defenders -- who needs them? I have four starting defenders all on the trade block now Looking for forwards only, no midfield, thank you! Southgate (Boro) O'Shea (Man U) Bridge (Chelsea) Henchoz (Liverpool) All fit, Henchoz played regularly in pre-season and was back to his best. Boro, Chelsea, Liverpool, Man U all concede very few goals. Needed: Forward of equal or lesser value Mids considered to make the trade happen if money is a problem.
Re: Re: TRADE Hal requested it be posted in the premierleague forum in this format: Cole OUT (to Free agency) Okocha (from Kopite) IN Southgate OUT (to Kopite) Lundekvam IN (from free agency) Include the values of the players too. he has set up a free agency thread on our league page. Nice doing business with you.
Free Agency Alert!!! Chopra, Newcastle 4.0 OUT (to Free Agency) Boa Morte, Fullham 5.5 IN (from Free Agency) Cap room 0.0
Great banter, Mark and Jonathan. As this thread is huge. I started another to continue the extra info on trades and trash talk entitled, Very Small Rocks II Pre-Season Thread. MtKill, check your PMs.
