OK, seeing as I'm still sat around with no way of getting to work, I've opened the transfer window prior to this weekend.

What now happens?

1) Two players have been randomly selected and have left your team.

2) You have been paid their market value, according to what my spreadsheet calculates it as.

3) You need to have a careful look at the player lists, and place transfer bids as normal (by emailing me with the player name and how much you wish to bid) to fill the gaps in the team. They do not count towards your 11 transfers for the season.

4) If you see a player you particularly desire, you may transfer bid for him in the normal way by offering a player in part exchange. This DOES count towards your 11 transfers, so you cannot export any players you have bought since August.

5) I will nag people until all fifteen managers have bid for their two players (except GreyDesk who needs three).

6) We will have a second round of bidding if necessary, and I would like to think that everyone will have a full team by the next round of Premiership matches on the 13th.

One more thing: you will appreciate that it is a tricky job keeping the player lists up to date, and I take no responsibility for players omitted.

If you think of a player you would like who appears to be neither on this home page nor the player lists, please let me know (preferably on the threads on the player list pages) and I will add him. This holds especially true during the Real Life transfer window when players are to-ing and fro-ing all over the shop.

Wow I have to find 2 players for £0.5m.

Can I just sign the whole Livingston Squad?

Yes; your loss of Stephen Warnock and Quinton Fortune didn't really worry the accountants.

B

Surely some mistake, DD?

You would think It looks like I had my two worst players randomly selected for the Transfer Window.

I'm hoping to pick up some bargins this month though.

Is Anton Ferdinand available?

No mistake. Warnock made precisely nothing, mind you.

B

Don't tell Blackburn that.

He (Stephen Warnock) was player of the year at Coventry.

Shame Coventry aren't in the premier this season and Stephen was playing for them then.

OK. As of this weekend I have yet to receive bids from:

Bubba-fretts
Egon
GreyDesk (3 players required!)
McKay
Psycorp
SBE
Skankyrich (on holiday)
Sprout

B

Meh. I'm on it.

Are you? No evidence of that so far.

nag nag

In his language that mens, ill get round to it, but im busy with my xbox and halo.

Some of you need flippin' nagging!

Some of us need to know whether they still the second choice (or third, or forth...)

Oh go on then, insert a 'need' somewhere in that last post

Xbox and Oblivion you'll find...

At this rate it'll mean some of us will never get a full squad for the next cycle of matches.

Are there any plans to penalise tardiness for lateness of response unless forewarned?

BTW I'll be away next week so I'd like to get this sorted by the end of the week or else I am liable to be up to two players short for two whole weeks.

Mine are in now...
