Vanspeybrouck is staying and I 100% guarantee that. This team wouldn't feel right without him. I'm not sure what it would take to get rid of him but we would have to be looking at 2 million minimum.
Stallaert will be in high demand as he will be both a brilliant cobbled domestique and also lead out man so I'm sure someone would be looking to meet my demands.

Oh and to all you guys who don't have teams yet: you may not know but you will pretty much be able to afford to transfer in three riders as a maximum so all of these riders you are declaring interest in will be well outside your budget.

I was thinking it'd be something along those lines, so i'll have to see then.

I'm not saying I can't meet your demands, just that I planned it a bit different so far.
2m might be possible, but I guess this would be too detailed transfer talkat this early moment.

Well I guess for the third season in a row I am interested in your riders but I won't get any of them so I am giving up

CountArach what do you mean max. of 3? So are you saying that we'll probably be able to transfer in 2 riders or so, and then loan all the others or get free agents?

Yes, most of your riders will come from Free Agents, either from disbanding teams or newly added riders. |

Yep. Depending on your goals, you'll get around 500k or so, and if you pick up a useful rider for less than 150k at any time bar the last few days of transfer season, you made a bargain.

Also new guys remember when you think about loaning riders as well that the PT teams can't increase level 1 riders so they will most probably go to CT/PCT teams. Maxed out riders and level 3/4 riders are better off in higher division so they can gain more experience so remember that when you declare your intrest in loans |

Well you have some that I'm interested in so I'm sure we could sort something out...
This is what you get for wanting to focus on the Belgian market

Well focusing on the belgian market was an accident 
I thought Germany would be great (with LEGO), after the first season that was a bad idea and then I just gathered the best riders that were available to me and the best presented nation was then Belgium with Spain.
Next season is probably going to change that and then I let myself surprise which nation is then the best presented one.

Well I have been rather quiet here but I thought I would update with the second part of my transfer rumours:
Transfer Rumour – Part 2: If we promote
If we promote to PT at the end of this season, which is currently in the balance, then here are the plans I have. Note that nothing here is final and things always change in the transfer season but this is a pretty likely idea of what will be happening.
Guaranteed to stay with the team, don’t even think about asking
 Dominique Cornu
Pieter Vanspeybrouck
Niels Albert
Joeri Stallaert
Tim Wellens
Romain Zingle
Kris Boeckmans
Sven Vandousselaere
Likely to stay but could leave for the right offer
Welle Jallays
 Remco Broers
Dion Beukeboom
William Maesen
 Mathieu La Lavandier
Tim Declerq
Guillaume Van Keirsbulck
Eliot Lietaer
Francis De Greef
Ben Curfs
Romain Feillu
Looking to transfer out
Johan Vansummeren
Maxime La Lavandier
Jerome Cousin
Mathieu Drujon
Cyril Gautier
Note that Gautier would be likely to leave if I could secure a better option who might actually be competitive in the PT.
Not renewed
Arnaud Godet
Frederik Frison
Jonathon Dufrasnes
Looking to loan
Eliot Lietaer
This is the only definite loan and I’m sure one or two more young guys will be loaned out too.

Didn`t know the La Lavandiers were three brothers.
Not surprising that Gautier is on that list. Drujon though did deliver from time to time.
Some might have my interest in the transfer season. |

Gautier would be interesting to lead our talents duo next season if we swap divisions, but I have to thoroughly calculate his points potential first, or rather how much of his failure this season was down to bad luck or planning.
He's definity one of a few options if he can deliver, especially as his wage should be bearable for PCT standards.

Fixed it And Drujon has been good, and as I said if I stay in this division he would probably be staying, but I just don't think he is up to PT level.

Yeah I don't see his wage going up by much even after all of the training he received. I also think that with the new focus on acceleration he could do alright in PCM13. I can assure you that bad luck and planning weren't big issues in his season - he raced only hilly races, both classics and stage races, and I can't think of any big crashes.

He would be great as a super domestique or a discount leader and yes he would also fit the French team nicely.
