Portsmouth: Transfers
So after i had picked my team - it was always going to be Portsmouth 
and finding out i have £0 transfer budget i knew i had to sell in order to buy.
First i sold Distin for a massive £14million to Spurs. next to be sold was Kanu also to Spurs for £2.5million. i then sold Pamarot to Fulham for £2.5million and Traore also for £2.5million to Reading and i then finished off my selling spree by selling Hreiorasson to wolves for £2.5million
that gave me a total of £24million to spend as i would only accept money up front i had all the money at my disposal - minus a few million which got taken away.
i started my buying with the £5.75million purchase of Zdravko Kuzmanovic a central midfielder from Fiorentina i then went and got Steven Defour another central midfielder for £12million from Standard De liege. i then went onto purchase Federico Fazio a central denfer from Sevilla for £9.25million and to finish it off i went and bought Obafemi Martins a striker ( just in case you didnt know ) from newcastle ( again just in case you didnt know )for £13.5million all together it came to £40.5million but i managed to make it so that i pay some upfront and then pay the rest over 24months for Steven Defour, Federico Fazio and Obefemi Martins - with £230,000 for Defour for the next 22months, £220,000 for Federico Fazio for the next 23months and £400,000 a month for the next 24months for Martins.
The club was sold about a month after taking over which both helped and hindered my search for new players. it hindered my search as i was unable to make any offers for players that i was after but once it had been completed i was given another £13million for new players
After the transfer window closed i sold Diop and Davis to Middlesbrough for a total of £5million and now i have £10.8million to spend on players for january - im also hoping to try and get some money from the new owners in january for more players i have a couple of targets and i know where im weakest.
Targets For January
for the january transfer window im hoping to get a new striker, right back and right midfield i have a couple of targets for each position. for Striker position im looking at Mario Balotelli im thinking about 13million could get him and im also looking at Nani and even Andres Guardado for the left position as a replacement / backup for Kranjcar and im looking at Micah Richards for the right defense position and now im looking at about £30million for all three and though i only have £10.8million i think i could get maybe two of them if i pay a fee upfront and then the rest over 24months - would mean i wouldnt be able to spend much for the next few seasons but i think it would be worth it.

Great update Ash you certainly are a fantastic "wheeler and dealer". I started a network game last night with my cousin and dad and chose Portsmouth!!! The only player i have sold so far is Traore to Watford! Whats your secret to selling so many??? I want rid of Nugent but the £4 million price tag is putting people off. Distin is wanted by Atletico Madrid but trying to hold on for more money as they only offered £4 million and want more. I did ask for more money though and the board gave me 14.5 million so needing a right back/wing back. Any suggestions?Posted 19-11-2008 at 11:04 AM by kovacevic

i still havent managed to sell nugent i dropped the asking price to £3million and still no takers
what you should do (if you havent already) is change his transfer status and set the asking price to 14million once done offer him to clubs for 14million - i got Blackburn and Spurs interested - both offered £14million but Spurs offered the money up front and though i didnt want to sell to them (harry redknapp) no one else was interested.
was that before or after a takeover? as before the club was sold i tried asking for more money and they said no
as i aint at my game at the moment (no at home) when i get back on it i will tell you the right backs im looking at, Johnson though okay is not good enough for top 6 finish . i would suggest though to try and buy Traore (the guy on loan from arsenal) as hes a great young player and only 18years old!
next i will be adding mysquad information, tactics and formationPosted 19-11-2008 at 11:14 AM by ArmageddonAsh

right a quick update i have made offers for Richards (£4million + Diarra) and Balotelli (£13million) we will see what happens as i only have 10million left and a more limited squad now i dont really want to sell any more players until i have got some more in, just in case i get an injury or suspension.
but i need to bring a right back and a right midfield as minimum as these are my weakest areas i think - though i havent been scoring much either im hoping as confidence builds then we will start scoring more goals im also going to look for a DM as i dont have players that are naturally DM most are natural CM but are accomplished DM which aint good enough for me. i am also going to start my search for a new goalkeeper as James is getting on in age abit now
im putting Sol up for sale due to his wages £80,000 a week thats too much as im not even using him not that i have FazioPosted 19-11-2008 at 03:09 PM by ArmageddonAsh

update: just sold Mvuemba to Sunderland for £10million and he was only valued at £3million
and Spurs is interested in Glen Johnson - so i might offer him over for £10-£15million and see what happensPosted 21-11-2008 at 11:44 AM by ArmageddonAsh

Aston Villa have just made a £20million offer for Johnson - gonna be able to buy some class players now i will have upwards of £50million to spend with the sale of Mvuemba as well.
i have already got sergio Asenjo, 19 a goalkeeper who looks very good and will be the replacement for James.
i have also finally agreed a deal to sign Axel Witsel for £15million (£10million upfront and £5million over 24months)
i have also made bids Stevan Jovetic, Andres Guardado and Miguel Veloso. i am also looking for a another striker a centre back (Vincent Company) and a new right back with the sale of Johnson - i might go for Vaden Borre but he plays best in either CB or WB that will just leave right midfield but havent found many quality players for that position Gervinho is a possibilityPosted 21-11-2008 at 12:58 PM by ArmageddonAsh

an update again.
got Axel Witsel and in contract talks with Miguel Veloso (£17million) and have made offers for Mario Balotelli(£13million), Dos Santos (£9million), De Silvestri(£13million) and Stevan Jovetic (£14.25million)
i have £50million to spend
i am then going to sell Diarra - many teams interested and KranjcarPosted 21-11-2008 at 05:44 PM by ArmageddonAsh
-
i just finalized deals for Dos Santos, Veloso and De Silvestri. i have £24million left to spend. that brings up the players coming in January 5 and counting i plan on another 2 signings
but i have offer Kranjcar and Diarra for £20million eachPosted 21-11-2008 at 06:26 PM by ArmageddonAsh
