Just spitballing...

 

Would we like a no restriction transfer window?

 

As many trades as you wanted to make etc...

 

The free player draft would have to run it's course first for fairness so you can't just start trading out until thats complete, but transfer between us can happen means it isn't a complete shitfest, but after that lift the two transfer per team quota?

 

Might make the last season more interesting.

Does this remove the age restriction?

Not on the trades out, i think that needs to stay in place, unless others disagree?

 

It was put in to safe guard against teams flogging some near dead horses and then trading them out for young studs as that's not a realistic proposition in the 'real world' and would go against the three year plan approach of building a winning team.

Yeah, would totally undermine the original draft.

 

I'd still have a limit, but think it's worth raising it.

Yeah, I strongly disagree then. This loads the deck very much in the favour of players who have squads in the age range whereby they can be wheeled around freely, after-the-fact of the initial squad build and decisions that drove those. If the age restriction goes then sure, as it is a level playing field for all involved with no moving goalposts.

Id stick with 2 transfers and 2 trades. Its served us well, so far.

Any particular positions you are looking at ?

I'll be looking for a new striker/versatile forward for the wide areas during the window. Perhaps a versatile centre half/defensive midfielder too.

 

I do have free-agent targets in mind if trade proposals don't tickle my fancy.

 

Did somebody catch your eye on that list? Open to proposals for those players listed. (I have had a nibble for Thiago, though there's nothing concrete as yet).

[sir roger]

Unai Simon was pretty crap for me so it was Handanovic I was looking at.

 

In the positions you are looking at Boateng , Lacazette , Kessie , Busquets and Barkley are all possibles

[John102]

@Bruce Spanner

@Dynamite

 

Thomas Lemar for Miralem Pjanic 

 

Me and Ardja

Boubacar Kamara is available if your interested in a versatile CB/DM
