    Despite the title I haven't been selling players on Football Manager but have decided to let some systems go after giving everything a thorough play this week.

    TRANSFERS OUT:
    Sega Saturn with Saroo SD card games
    XBOX One 500gb console with some games including Atari Collectionand Atari 50
    Sega Master System Mark 1
    Atari 7800
    Amstrad CPC 464 + colour monitor + DDi5 interface

    TRANSFERS IN:
    Nintendo Swtich Lite
    Atari 7800+
    The Spectrum?

    No deals completed or contracts signed yet, but hoping to have the new line up by the end of the year.
    I'll keep this thread updated with how things progress. All the players heading out the cave should be advertised by the end of this weekend, although the 7800 might be heading to an away venue tomorrow for a potential trial....

    A great looking line up of key "players" coming in and 1-2 cases of tried and tested veterans on their way out of your club.

    Whatever, you always field an entertaining "team", Al.

    Keep us updated on your retro system news as it's great to see the variety of systems that some of us have got in our caves.

    I can EXCLUSIVELY REVEAL two of the transfer listed players above have now moved on.

    The deal involved cash and a couple of new squad signings. One looks like they might have a great engine and the other is twins who might well get a thumbs up in the future.

    Now it's on to Celtic Park area to hopefully sign one of our major targets.

    More news as we hear it, stay tuned for all the latest updates!

    Hi, Al.
    Sounds like you've had a great 24hrs in the transfer market and I signed this wee winner from the 80s at lunch:

    [​IMG]

    And as Mackems said to Pompey today, "On yer bike, lads" :)

    Yep, MX5 tomorrow - signing on forms due at 11am.

    Well done, mate, on another successful set of sales and I'll catch you lads up properly in a few days as we're piling out in a mo with Bev's pals and got a full on day tomorrow seeing family/funeral Monday.

    Take care, all.

    It's been a busy 24 hours at The Cave, here's a quick ukpate

    OUT - Sega Master System
    OUT - Atari 7800

    IN - Nintendo Switch Lite
    Yes, we have a new svelte forward from the land of the Rising Sun. After the sale of the Mastery System and 7800, forms were quickly signed for the new bhoy who came in great physical condition. He is currently going through a 7 day free trial (with Nintendo Online) to get some games under his belt. Early signs are promising.

    After some internal movements (excuse me) the XBOX One has now been taken off the transfer list and has found a new position in the squad. Right under the Virginmedia cable box.

    BREAKING NEWS!!!

    A late offer has been made by a local up and coming team for the Sega Saturn. They are sending a scout to see him in the next couple of hours and if all goes to plan he'll be off to pastures new by lunchtime.

    You heard it here first folks!

    My goodness, the players are moving in and out at speed. You have added real power to your team there.

    The coming season bodes well for you..

    The Saturn has been signed up by the new team.

    In the meantime the CPC464 is languishing in the reserves like a veteran with dodgy knees.

    I think that just about wraps up this transfer window as we don't expect any new signings now until the new releases in the winter break.

    They think it's all over now....
