Finally caught up with the thread a few days ago, had some ideas on the nicknames front. I've been calling Mateo Mujkic 'Magic Meteor' in my head, and Scott Shirra 'The Sheriff'.

I like "Shooter" or "Shoota'" for Shirra. It's simple.

It waa nice to be back in Wrexham. Reminded me of happier times. Times I was in charge of England's most shocking club. Not a relegation contender.

Hypothetically, let's say the vast amounts of 'other' on our accounts is getting funnelled into my pockets. That doesn't mean I can't throw a few thousand at the team if the whim takes me. If it's helping me to get richer, why wouldn't I want it to keep doing so? I stand by my promises: I want the League, the Champion's League, and Arsenal relegated.

Regarding this, a question about RL football: In Spain, club owners are the luckiest bastards and will routinely* win second or third prizes in the lottery year after year. Does it happen in other countries, too? *This may be an exaggeration, but it has happened quite often, because buying a winning ticket for an extra 10-15% is a good way of laundering money. We are up there with Italy in the rank of European countries with the biggest submerged economy. As a bonus, lottery prizes were exempt from taxes until last year or so.

The primary reason is that "non-soccer costs" and "other" expenses are going to more than double from last year, otherwise we'd be well in the black. I'm OK with this on one condition, that AJ_Impy is funnelling all of that money to building me my dragon.

I feel like I need to mention this to the board, the present date is New Years eve: The offer is negotiable, and while it's lower than I'd accept it's not so risible as to reject out of hand. Mujkic has 11 goals and 7 assists on the season, and is the 4th highest rated player in the Premier League. He's only 23. Thoughts?

It's about time we had a Megabastard try to steal one of our players. I don't know how realistic it is that we'll be able to keep ahold of the mighty meteor with the interest of a club like Barcelona. If you do need to sell him, make them pay through the nose for him. Could easily backfire as well and put his contract demands well out of our reach (for now).

See if they accept 25 million, something like 15% of next sale, any other add ons you can think of, and a friendly. If the big boys are coming in for him (And since one is, that means the others aren't far behind) then we don't have a great chance at holding on to him. Hell, the fact that we've kept him this long is pretty amazing. And, at Barcelona, at least we don't have to play him twice a year.

No. He and Rocky seem like they're developing a real rapport and we don't want to gently caress that up.

Now that the big boys are sniffing, what are the odds that he'll pout if he doesn't get to go to an elite club? If you think this is as close to max value as you'll get for him, pull the trigger.

No on selling The Meteor. He's a pillar of the team, and part of our 1-2 frontline punch.

I don't know how realistic it is that we'll be able to keep ahold of the mighty meteor with the interest of a club like Barcelona. If you do need to sell him, make them pay through the nose for him. Well, I'm under the opinion that teams in Europe sell their players far too easily. But he's only under contract for another year and a half, so it's not like we have him safely signed long term. the JJ posted:What do we spend the money on? Where are we thin? Well, left wing to start. Without Mujkic we have only Mejasic, Petts, and a youth player (Argenti) ready to step into his positions at mid and attacking left. Left back too. And really, all of our positions except for striker and attacking central midfielder could be improved. We have players who will, after they develop, be very good at most spots. But they're all young and so aren't at their full potential yet. C. Everett Koop posted:Now that the big boys are sniffing, what are the odds that he'll pout if he doesn't get to go to an elite club? If you think this is as close to max value as you'll get for him, pull the trigger. Not even close to max value, he's 23 and still able to improve for another year or two. The problem is if he doesn't want to sign a new contract at the end of the season we've only got him for 1 more year and might have trouble ever getting more value for him.

I thought he'd be sated if Wrexham at least makes it to the Europa League. Now I know you know more than we do about Wrexham's standing in the table, but right now I'm highly confident we can get there and hopefully extend his contract.

If you can get him for 28 plus sweeteners eg friendly do it. Also what's the biggest transfer you've seen in fm?

They can pry the Meteor from our cold, dead hands. We'll always be able to make more money; We'll likely never have another chance to mold a literal prodigy from the tender age of 19.

Ask for 40m and their first-born, if they say yes pull the trigger. Alternatively the Browns are open to deals tonight. Draft Day was a documentary apparently.

Never Meteor is a staple of Wrexham. Selling would be sacrilege.

I don't really like the idea of selling Mujkic. You've gone to a hell of an effort to keep him in the club, and now that it's finally paying off in big ways (Hi Man U!), the megabastards want him. No.

But they're all young and so aren't at their full potential yet. Selling a left winger to buy a different left winger doesn't sound great but passing off one wonderboy to get, what, three-ish very good players... I guess maybe we sit on it and see if we need depth or dazzle more as the year goes on.

If you can get £30-35M+ for Mujkik you gotta take that offer, you can get a ton of great prospects with that money. Not a cent less.

Exactly, don't sell him for peanuts because of how important he is but his sale could let us improve the overall quality of the team to better challenge for Europe and or a decent cup run. If they're interested and they are, they have the funds to get him if they really want. Of course, we could just pull off an alternate time line Tottenham and flounder for a few seasons after selling our wonderkid.

Is there the chance that selling vs not selling will negatively affect the board's opinion of you? I'm torn on selling the Meteor though... all that money could buy a lot of statue.

Stall the decision and see if Mujkic will accept a new contract for what you consider to be reasonable wages. If he signs, Barca can kiss off; if not, you can cash in. But not for £22m, though. Take 'em to the cleaners.
