Nope sorry.
Then you could have Defoe.
Defoe's a vital player.

Do you want any Athletico Madrid players? I want Jermain Defoe.
Only reason I wanted Sheringham back is because he's always been one of my favourite players and I was devastated when he left. Tottenham's his home and he should stay there :).

Fair enough. That can be your job frrom now on if you want it.

You can swap players in and out of the teams that have been picked but both of the manager's have to agree on a deal and you have to inform me. So you can say: Defoe for swaps! And I might say (I manage Athletico Madrid) Defoe for Torres and if we both agree then I'll change the teams in FIFA 2004.
Shame about the transfers though. Letting us manage our teams would actually give some kind of point to picking one.

Just if your team is playing.

Please don't do that again, Mav. That is my job.
