    Tevez could be a real bargain, If he stays and City dont buy another striker he'll be in the team and at 9m hes a snip, hes better than aguero on form

    George McCartney.

    Not a fan of his at all, but he played 38 times for West Ham last season and won the Players Player of the Year award. He'll be first choice LB for them.

    Considering West Ham's first 10 fixtures are Villa, Swansea, Fulham, Norwich, Sunderland, QPR, Arsenal, Southampton, Wigan and Man City, I make that only 2 games in which I'd give them no chance of keeping a clean sheet (Arsenal and Man City).

    He's a bargain as a squad filler or even as a starter for the first quarter of the season at £4.0m

    I was looking at him too but he was benched for the playoff final (their biggest game of the season) so that worries me slightly. Demel at 4.0m started all their games from April onwards. I don't know much about him, was he injured up until then?

    What's the story with Pienaar? I already thought he had completed a permanent move back to Everton after his successful loan stint last season but it appears he hasn't.

    If he does move back, he'd be a great bargain.

    Swansea have signed Michu for just £2m from Rayo Vallecano. He scored 15 goals from midfield last year in La Liga for a side that finished 15th in the league. Depending on his FF price he could turn out to be a great replacement for Siggurdson.

    Bent could be worth a shout at £8.5m as Villa's first 10 fixtures are quite nice.

    Putting him in my team for sure. When on form he is a 15+ goals a season player and I really think with Lambert at Villa they should play the style of football to suit him.

    Nathan Dyer at 5.5 seems a great cheap midfield compared to others at that price

    Awaiting a price on him,defo worth an inclusion as a chaep midfield if he is priced that way.
    It would seem he will be first choice too

    Really think Torres could be worth a risk this year with the changes at Chelsea plus improved form during the Euro's.

    o' Shea and Brown are dead certs as the center back pairing, LB will be either Richardson or Colback and RB is Bardsley

    there's Cuellar (new signing) and Turner (played most games last season) too. also O Shea and Brown can be played full back too

    just noticed they played yesterday and read this in the match report.....
    in defence, Michael Turner and Titus Bramble started in the centre, with Jack Colback and Wes Brown at left and right full-back respectively. With the signing of Carlos Cuellar and the imminent return of John O'Shea to the fold, many had wondered where Wes Brown might fit in - perhaps Cuellar will now line up at centre back, with Brown replacing Phil Bardsley at full-back. Simon Mignolet, as expected, was chosen in goal.
    rumor has it that James Collins is on his way from Villa and Kilgallon is being sold to Blackburn

    Cuellar signed on a free I think but it's the 2nd time MON has signed him so he obviously rates him. Brown is muck obv so 2 from CC, O'Shea and Turner most likely the cb partnership IMO.

    Well seeing as he is currently caddying for Romero at the British Open, I'd say he doesn't care too much for football or City's preseason.

    A potential bargain player I have found is Mahomadou Diarra. He did well last year. He got a goal and 3 assists in only a handful of games. I think he only played 5 or 6 odd full games and made a good few sub entrances when he started off with Fulham. At only 5 million he's a good option imo.

    Our first choice back four when everyone is fit will include Cuellar, O'Shea, Brown plus Richardson or a new signing. More than likely a new signing as Richardson wants away.

    Shaun Maloney and Mark Noble are much better options at that price

    Wes Brown has suspected knee ligament damage btw, Cuellar or Turner at 4.5 could be a good option now

    The potential bargains imo are:

    Jenkinson (Arsenal) - until Sagna is back fully fit. 4.5mill

    Bent (Aston Villa) - Proven goal scorer and penalty taker. 8mm

    Lampard (Chelsea) - Will wait and see if Lampard is going to play a more defensive role however. 9mill

    Frei (Fulham) - good prospect. If gets into starting team he could be a real jem at 4.5mill.
    Risse (Fulham) - better price this year. Hasnt delivered on his attacking threat so far but this year? 5.5mill

    Tevez (City). If a regular starter - then a brillaint price but rotation is the major worry. 9mill

    Rafael (Man U). First choice right back?? Maybe? 5.5mill

    Lambert (S/hampton) Real stand out player last season in the championship, but can he raise his game in the prem. At 6mill it could be worth a shot...

    Taarabt (QPR) - quality attacking player with loads of critics. I think he can shine this season however. 6mill
    Fabio (QPR) - Another attacking wing back and at 4.5 - love them!
    Cisse (QPR) - if fit he can score alot. At 6.5

    Walters (Stoke) If up front again and on the penalties. 6.5 is a decent price.

    Cuellar / Turner (Sunderland) - 4.5 for a defender in a solid team.

    Pienaar (Spurs) - if he moves back to Everton then he's a great buy.. 6.5mill

    Others to consider:
    Lallana (S/hampton) 6mill
    Gibson (everton) 5mill
    Sessegnon (S/land) 8mill
    Ba (Newcastle) 7.5mill

    I have a question for Aston Villa fans; is Bannon going to start for them this year? He is only 5.0 and he is rated highly in Scotland.

    Definitely. He might get subbed off quite a bit and get rotated a little bit. But he if definitely first choice and on a lot of set pieces including pens.

    Everton are letting Tim Cahill, one of their highest earners, leave for the MLS so I'd imagien the Pienaar deal will be done and dusted once that move goes through.

    Pienaar is a great price at the 6.5 million.
