So well done on signing him and i suppose he's more likely to get gametime than if he was in Division 2. The offer for Marco MOTTA of Dynamo Moskva from Swansea City has been accepted along with other club offers. Dynamo Moskva will now decide which offer to proceed with. The transfer will be completed within the next 24 hours. In the third bidding way from externals, i was battling it out with Sheffield United to try and sign Marco Motta. I'm in desperate need of a strong right-back, as Aaron Hughes just doesn't do it for me and i'm hoping that i've signed him. Out of Cleverley, Reyes and Motta he's the player i need the most in my team so i really hope i get him but low p/e value from Aaron Hughes didn't help my cause at all. Sheffield United: £1.5m & Tony Hibbert Swansea City: £250k & Aaron Hughes Thanks to the low external value from Aaron Hughes, i've realised that to beat my bid Tony Hibbert has to be worth £5.75 million in part exchange, and i'm starting to think he's worth more than that.

VfL Wolfsburg have decided to proceed with another offer. 90% sure l had the highest bid:( But i'm now more or less 100% sure that Marco Motta will join you, meaning that i'll have missed out on all three of my targets. Really need a right-back though, shame it's highly unlikely to be a good one. Jose Antonio Reyes has joined Leicester, i'm not suprised at all, i was convinced he was going to Leicester and i think Matty will feel he has overpayed for him. About £4 million over what i'd have paid for him, and what i did bid for him. Might have to go for a cheap right-back who i don't really like, but to be honest i might just have to stick with Aaron Hughes who hasn't played badly all the time and i could give Kevin Foley a game. Also got some big transfer bans coming off in four days time and i might beable to get one of my two targets for that day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
