@Miguel98 Thanks, I like it too
Well Boswell won't go unless very good offer is provided, we don't have to sell anyone, but if anyone makes a good offer, we'll definitely listen
@TheManxMissile Procrastination at its best ?
@aidanvn13 Thanks, same to you. And thanks for the jersey again, btw, you can scrap one of the requested national jerseys from us

Hmm. Had hoped you had grown less attached to Olli Kulppi than it appears. As a Finnish based team we will probably have to get in touch later on anyway - perhaps he is angry at the management for labelling him as Estonian in the team overview
Well

Of course we will still have to negotiate the details, but I hope that no other teams want to try and steal him from his home team

There haven't been much news about Quickstep transfer plans, however there has been rumours that during the window there will not be much frantic activity, some talents have been scouted, but specific names have not been confirmed. However the team is believed to be pursuing a German sprinter at his prime who will be their key transfer target this season.

Let the Germans alone. Many are already behind the Germans do not need nobody else

Haussler?
He can grant a lot of points and with Baugnies, your team might promote. |

So for the 3rd transfer season in a row, we're going to clash. |

Considering you are after so many other big names, you have no chance
Thanks Miguel98, that's the plan, but we'll see how it pans out
fintas you can go after any Belgians you want

Big names? I only want 2 out of about 10. And I'm prepared to make Haussler the most expensive sprinter next year after doing it to Napolitano last season |

That's not a big worry for me to be honest. Bring it on :-P

At the Euskaltel Bavaria Team Headquarters in Bilbao there has been much talk about a potential loan of young Climber Pavel Potocki for more experience and training.
Does the manager of Quickstep have anything to say about this?

You have expressed interest in Potocki since long time, so I am definitely up for a deal, but I can't guarantee it happening at the moment, since we may field just the minimum of 20 riders this season and with one or two high buys, we may need him in the team to make up that 20th rider, but if you we do have surplus than we will definitely be interested in a deal

We will consider every offer for every rider in our team, all 16 could potentially go, however unlikely that is. However I can say Lachlan Morton is the likeliest to leave the team this season and will be looking for an active transfer. All others ranging from Marce de Maar to Pavel Potocki could leave if a offer is deemed to be worthy by the team.

Now i see what you ment with those greedy bastards.
Morton probably feels like he is reincarnated Merckx. He should be very tempting target for certain teams.

Too bad i will most probably have more important targets than Morton. But you never know. Good luck in the transfers anyway!

As in probably every season from now on, I will try to scrape some money together to get van der Lijke, van Asbroeck or Vanbilsen, and who knows how transfers go?
I'm excited to see whether you find some of my riders interesting, maybe that could lower the fee. Expect me to inquire thoroughly
Interesting that Morton took a huge paycut, makes me wonder how much you'll get for him, I just know I would rethink the decision to sell him now if I was the manager.

Bacardi - Itera is very interested in Florentino Marquez. We'll probably make contact about him later on.

Obligated interest in Boswell. Might actually turn into an offer, depends how things develop, but our small budget is restrictive for actual transfers

I'll make a few bids as well, though it will be hard as a CT team
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

@Avin Wargunnson Yep, to be fair, all riders that got increases in wages did well this season, but still, looking at some riders in other teams, our riders are just hungry for €€€'s
@tsmoha Exactly, you never know what can happen in the hectic chaos that is the transfer window!
cio93 The thing with Morton is that a rider swap is my favoured option, and in such case I don't mind letting Morton go if we end up having a great cobbler, climber, sprinter and puncheur making us very allround team ready for promotion Although Vanbilsen might be tough one to get, Lijke unlikely this season as we try to promote, Asbroeck though, could possibly be swayed.
There are few riders that certainly interest us from your great team, we'll definitely contact you as transfer season begins
@TheManxMissile No worries, exactly, Boswell isn't your prioritized American talent for your team, and is unlikely to leave mine, but an offer can never hurt
Kami Thanks, we'll definitely keep in touch, we depend on Marquez for one of our goals so we'll not let him go easily, but hopefully we might work something out maybe. No matter what I am really excited how Marquez performs with acceleration stat finally working properly in the game
@Ollfardh We always welcome interest from Belgian teams, we might not do much business, but we also could do plenty! Zico Waeytens would probably be the most likely Belgian talent to leave our team, however with his low price tag we don't know what will happen
