Transfer Thread

What's the point of a back up? Really. It would make sense for me as Allardyce plays for the U19s and I don't play him in games I don't need to in order to preserve his fitness. But other than that, it's a waste really.

Surprised you're not keeping him as a backup Zorax, I would. Almost tempted to buy him.
He is a great player, but I'm going all-West Indian, so all of them need to go. I'll sell all of them slowly as I get backups, probably Finlayson last as I need a keeper (Abdeen as soon as he turns 18, so that I can get a lot for him as he can be bought and trained in the first week).

Speaking of which, if any of you see any good West Indian bats, please do let me know!

A backup bowler would allow me to rest Dodd (a trainee who usually plays on 'Fair' fitness) in easier matches and get his fitness a bit higher for important games.

Off to the market I went and bought the fastest ?1000 player I could (having been outbid on a staright worthless with a single figure BT rating!) to give me 15 players, allowing me to list Muir and hopefully getting the funds I needed.

So he really is Brad Reade...

i bought him to sell Crainey...

i suppose his first ball duck made you sell him?

zorax is dual nationality not good enough? surely some of those players are close to it by now?
Nope. I'm going for First-Nationality of West Indian. And these guys have been in my team for like 3 seasons max, so I don't think they are that close.

I'm after another bowler now, deadline is tonight. He's not as good as the last one, but still far better than anyone I have now, so I hope the bidding won't go as high and I'll be able to get him.
