And if my 30k bid has been accepted by Magwitch, I will be filing an injunction to prevent any further dealings on that player until this is resolved.

B

I'd be prepared to do a deal with B on Yardy if it helps...

And given that Sussex haven't actually started play as yet...

B

Can I assume that my move for Yardy is being rebuffed?

My incompetence, not Megachedda's. Seeing as I was in the middle of handing in my Scouts badge and dropped everything at midnight last night to get him into your side, rushing to get the move completed, I reckon I can be forgiven that.

You can accept the Board's extremely generous offer for Patel (I said 50% to give captains who've overspent ridiculously on muppets like him), and if you'd taken that at the time you'd have Yardy regardless of the Harmison situation. But no-one is going anywhere until Sunday night - forget when Sussex start play, *I'm* busy until then. I'm being selfish for a few days. Magwitch is free to listen to further offers, though I suspect she'll take your offer in the interest of peace.


Will Jefferson £20k
Simon Jones £10k

Fine. I will accept the offers for Patel and Wood. But I'll keep my options open for Harmison.

And, Mag, I will match Trout's offer and you can accept from whoever you like

B

B, we agreed a price (sorry, Trout) I will honour that.

Thanks, magwitch - I'm glad that's all settled amicably. I'll complete the transfer on Sunday night as promised. If he makes a big score today, though, I suspect B will be after me...

On the other hand, if Michael Lumb knocks off a century this weekend, I'll be looking pretty stupid.

Hey ho...time to put plan B into action.

B

OK...my official line.

I am accepting the board's bids for Wood, Harmison and Patel.

I am also contracting myself to Mag for Mike Yardy.

B

Selling Dale Benkenstein.

If you really want to get rid of your second highest points scorer, Megachedda, that's fine by me. The Board will give you £110k for him.

And of course by Dale Benkenstein i meant Steve Stubbings.

Course you did - I can see how the two could get confused. You can have £35k for him

I doubt ill get a better offer.Ill wait 1 day. If noone bids for him i will accept 35k

Let me know if/when you accept the Board's bid, then. I'm not going to remember when sixteen different players decided when to accept bids and under what circumstances.

Ref posting 18... thank you for not answering your own question, Skanks

My pleasure, FB

I've had bids for Joe Denly, Bilal Shafayat, Younis Khan and Charl Pietersen

Skanks i accept the 35k for steve stubbings.

I accept the £35k for Spearman and the £40k for Broad. Think I'll keep hold of Rankin for now.

I also feel bound to ask - am I breaking the rules by currently having Harvey, Fleming and Mushtaq Ahmed in my team? Should I be forced to sell one of them? If that is the case then can you give me an offer for Harvey?
