    With the offseason approaching I figured I would kick off this thread with some Bournemouth Cherries' players available for transfer

    1. Warren Feeney(value 325k, 8.5k pw wages)

    27, F C-Nigeria(1 Cap)

    Highlights

    made the Nigerian national team
    Had 10 goals and 7 assists in last year as a fulltime starter.
    Solid finisher, decent passer

    Lowlights

    6.33 avg this season

    Fell out of favor on the team as he has not found his niche from the bench or starting in Vauthrin's team, but does have the talent to have a resurgence elsewhere. He also brings versatility wherever he goes.

    Claudio Andres Maldonado(100K, 9.25K pw

    D/DM RC(28, 63 Caps)

    Highlights

    Versatility as a Midfielder and Defender
    Good free kick taker
    Lots of International experience in Chile
    Very Smart Player

    Lowlights

    Just doesn't fit the system I am looking to employ next season, but would be a great addition to any squad, also caught in a salary crunch.

    Daniele Dichio(550k, 13.25k pw)

    S C (33, ENG, No caps)

    Highlights

    prolific scorer(9 goals this yr marked a 3 yr low, 13 the year before, 15 before that)
    can get solid assist numbers as a forward
    6.84 AV R this yr, usually around the 7 range

    Lowlights

    Once again, his age, contract expiring after next year, salary and the fact I have lots of solid forwards/strikers(Turley/Wallace) make him expendable. Good addition for any attacking minded team or a team who needs another goal scorer.

    Finally,

    Danny Smith(100k, 6.25k pw)

    25 yr old, IRL, D C

    He has started and come off the bench some at bournemouth.

    High 6 AV R annually at the club, solid defender ratings

    Lowlights

    Caught in the salary crunch at Bournemouth, but would make a good 2nd-4th in a 3-5-2 formation.

    I will be in chat frequently, so if you have interest PM me.

    Well, with my promotion, I definitely need an upgrade for next season's team. I am definitely set at midfield, but I could use up to two good defenders, and one good striker. I am not really looking for mid-value guys, as I have a lot of them. I am looking for one very good player at either position that has possibly fallen out of favor with your team or system. I am willing to pay good value. Let me know.

    I will have a few players available:

    SW/D LC Matthew Carbon (32)
    Erik Andersson: Plays an important role
    Averaged 7.43 for Falkirk before joining me. Played mostly full back (D L) and started 28 games for me averaging 6.36. Ugh, you say? I have come to the conlusion that he is more of a central defender, he has nice attributes, and should average atleast around 7.00 in a lower division, probably more. Valued at 350k - can be had for 200k.


    D/DM RC Alan Neilson (35), 22 caps, playing in this years European Championship
    Erik Andersson: Useful member, whose experience is an asset to the club.
    Valued at 190k - can be had for 250k.


    D/DM C Gareth Roberts (25), 2 caps, playing in this years European Championship
    Erik Andersson: Presence of great benefit to the club.
    Valued at 1M - can be had for around 1.2M


    D/DM RC Richard Hinds (27)
    Erik Andersson: Versatility an invaluable asset to the club.
    Valued at 750k - can be had for around 1M

    M RC Sean McClare (30)
    Erik Andersson: Useful member to the squad.
    Valued at 525k - can be had for 250k

    (Sean was highly though of at the start of the year, and was also labeled an excellent free kick taker, but has no room in my team with the players I have ahead of him)

    AM L Ged Allen (22)
    Erik Andersson: Not good enough for this team
    Valued at 700k - can be had for 100k

    Depending on who I get (and if I get anyone for that matter), I could have one or more of my strikers available. Whatever happens, it will be resolved in the offseason, so keep me in mind :)

    Lots of Reds are available.

    Eric Dreesen, Shaun Berry, Rachid Belabed, Mats Wejsfelt.

    Other available also.

    But those 4 will cost you. Lots. ;)

    I may be interested in this... if you could, please upload his profile. I will be in chat tomorrow afternoon.

    Also, right before I left, there was a player in profile 1 named Paul Robinson, I believe... I really liked him, if he is still available.

    Nottingham Forest:

    Players available:

    Shaun Berry - He is a fantastic speed striker that will wreak havoc in any defense. In 52 appearences with Forest last season, he scored 23 goals, had 16 assists, won 7 Man of Match awards, and accumulated an average rating of 7.67. He was top 5 in Division 1 assist leaders, and top 10 in D1 scoring leaders. Shaun does not fit in my current one striker system, unfortunatly losing his spot to superstar Marcus Benson. Shaun can be purchased for 3M pounds.

    Rachid Belabed - Legit star midfielder. Very solid all around player. Can do it all. Compiled 11 goals, 17 assists, a rating of 7.21, and 4 MoM awards in 56 appearances last year. Can be had for 1.5M, his value.

    Eric Dreesen - 19 year old future superstar winger. Can play attacking midfielder on either right or left sides of the pitch. A fantastic crosser, he compiled 3 goals and 4 assists in 21 appearences last season and had a 7.29 average rating. This is a player that I wouldn't really mind keeping, but I hate to see him sit as he has no place in my formation. I would let him go for 1M pounds.

    Guliano Grazioli - Scoring machine. Slightly older than the average squad age. Can be had for free.

    Marlon Harewood - Superstar forward. Doesn't like me. I don't like him. You can have him for 1.4M.

    Joonas Kolkka - Left winger. Very productive in the past. Can be had for free. Not bad for a rental in my opinion. Will be very productive.


    John Thompson - Central defender. Still young, very solid. Can be had for 100K.

    Craig Westcarr - Solid winger. Young, talented. Can be had for 100K.

    Hehe. I told you about the first time. The 2nd time I was innocent. He was away playing an International.

    Btw

    I have updated the Squad and Reserve Screen for all with Contract Protection information. This will give all a chance to sign their current non-protected players in case they are woried some team will try to sign them and only get compensation. Also you can not sign an unprotected human player from another manager before this have had a chance to resign these players.

    HEATH:

    Due to the execrable state of my worthless defense, I've decided I need a mega-transfer to stop leaking goals like Niagra Falls.

    Hence, I want a defender with the following specifications:

    Pace, 15, marking 15, jumping 15, acceleration 15, tackling 15, positioning 15

    Obviously, other attributes are important, too... but those are completely necessary. In any event, I'm willing to spend up to 10 million pounds to acquire such a defender. Since I've missed you all week (I tend to be able to get on around mid-day in the US), please simply email me at mendolam@hotmail.com if you have problems finding interested players of this type. The younger the better. If there is a tough decision, email me. Otherwise, I am interested in all players of this specification. Offer value initially, unless the player is transfer-listed... if so, then offer 20% below value originally. Feel free to go up to 10m unless the player is "obviously not worth it" due to terrible peripheral ratings.

    I also need a "real goal keeper," as opposed to my current buffoon.

    Please find one of the following specifications: 15 agility, 17 handling, 10 reflexes, 10 jumping. I'm willing to spend up to 10 million pounds here as well... but the cheaper, the better... anyone under 30 is fine. Feel welcome to email me here, as well, if necessary.

    Thank you for your time and effort.

    got you your defender, although costly, he was the best of 4 good one I found. Did bid for all, and he was the first that came through. 7.5M for him, worth 2.7M at the time, but team had no interest of letting him go (Zaragoza). Last time I checked he was valued at 3.5M for you.

    about the gk - with the search you specified I found mostly only players ready for the grave, found 2 at 28, and did start bidding for one of them. At 5M I called quits for him. The other 28 year old GK you found was Kevin Jones at Carlisle. You have to talk to Castor about him, or redefine your search, unless you want me to go harder for the 28yr old scotsman?

    Other alternative is to try for one of the 33-34 year olds you found, but I'm thinking you are not ready to break the bank for them. But I guess they could be quickfixes.

    And on a completly different subject. Arsenal is never exciting. They will always be boring, boring Arsenal. :)

    Hmm...

    revise the search for a GK a bit... lower the handling requirement to 15, and see if that nails anything; also, ask castor if he has a # in mind for parting with his GK, please...

    or castor can answer if he wants :).
