    Need to get Downing in. A blank from Siggy tomorrow and he's gone.

    Chelsea and Arsenal in two of their next three games. Then they have Everton and Swansea away. Tough few weeks ahead for them.

    Interesting that not a single game went over 2.5 goals so far today. Wonder what the odds were an an under 2.5 goal acca on all 3 o'clock kick offs.

    May or may not be related to the busy schedule coming up.

    Oops, wrong thread.

    Dzeko for Jovetic it looks like, that will free up some funds to bolster the back line.

    Okay so I can afford pretty much anyone in for Chadli. Downing is an option but apart from that no one is really jumping out at me. My front 8 is currently:
    Boyd, Siggy, Chadli, Sanchez, Hazard,
    Costa, Bony, Austin.

    Anyone got any suggestions? I was looking at Yaya but I dunno if he's worth 10.8m.

    Would have been pretty big I was looking at Chelsea and City matches before hand and that worked out bigger than 9/2 for both to be <2.5.

    Jovetic might turn into a serious option if Dzeko is out for a few weeks. He seems to have been rested today as a precaution so should be fine for next weekend.

    Pelegrini mentioned that his 3 strikers could be out for a month. I guess it is too early to tell, but if that is the case then City look a lot less attractive.
    With Edin Dzeko, it's very unlucky. We must see. Maybe we are going to be without the three strikers for at least one month.

    Yaya or Silva will be pushed up though.

    On current form I could see Lampard played in a lone striker role. Game changer!

    Super Georgie Boyd is on 4 yellows now I think. Not ideal to be balancing with all the games coming up now

    As long as nothing unexpected happens I'll be ditching tadic. Apart from that 23 pointer when they won 8-0, he's done little of note and today is the last straw!

    Full quote from MP http://www.mcfc.co.uk/News/Team-news/2014/December/Leicester-v-City-Manuel-Pellegrini-reaction

    "We are without Dzeko, Aguero and Jovetic , for maybe more than a couple of weeks. We must see how long it takes Jovetic to recover. It is a difficult situation but we will see what is the best way for us to play.

    “Lampard scored again which is one of the reasons he played today, because he can score and we needed a goal.

    “David Silva, Samir Nasri and the rest of the midfielders can all score so we must see during the week which is the best way to play in the future until we recover our strikers."

    Hasn't Silva played as a false 9 for Spain before? That could be one option.

    Boyd -> Hazard

    Might bank this transfer, but lampard is tempting with city's injuries, a possible double up on city midfielders with him and yaya.

    Dzeko out anyway but who for I don't
    know. May also need to take a hit in defense as iv Hutton out and Chambers and Duff at risk of not starting next week.

    Bertrand to Mangala or Demichelis I think. I'm tempted by Clichy/Zab but feel they're more likely to be rotated than the other two.

    Kolo a 'permanent' starter now for Liverpool? They have easy fixtures coming up, need to offload Liam Moore big time.

    Plan was to get a city attacker in but Kompany getting injured means need to decide if a hit is worth it or not. Any word on how bad his injury is?

    Wouldn't say Lampard is too big a factor. From the updates I read Toure had a tonne of chances, just missed them.

    With a bit of luck and home advantage he'll be tucking them away next weekend.

    Or chambers- for chelsea cover

    Lampard is quite tempting now but already have Yaya so it would probably be a bad idea to double up.

    After tripling up on Chelsea and it serving me well this week, I'll likely ditch Costa for Giroud barring any other major problems arising. Will wait and see until after the Everton game on Monday night as I have Mirallas in the mix on a one week punt.

    Can't budge until Monday night and I don't like it one bit :D

    That Villa double cleansheet cost me hard Mr. Richardson. I've tried it twice and missed it on another occasion, ho hum!

    Austin is captaincy material next weekend too, there's no other candidates jumping out at me apart from Yaya maybe.
