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

manual_man · 21-07-2012 10:23pm

Really want a Sunderland defender but finding it really hard to figure out who's going to play and who's not...

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

swoody · 21-07-2012 11:53pm

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.

yeah i'm half thinking of Cuellar. have only 4.5 to play with as it is. poxy budgets :pac:

dahat · 22-07-2012 12:03pm

Putting in Fabio at 4.5 myself,definate assist potential plus he must be guaranteed plenty games

How much has tevez featured in pre season for city so far this year, there is now way he will stay if hes going to be benched

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.

FatRat · 22-07-2012 1:37pm

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

manual_man · 23-07-2012 2:26pm

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

thewools · 23-07-2012 3:54pm

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

LostBoy101 · 23-07-2012 4:59pm

I wouldn't rule out Pogrebnyak at 5.0.

DazzlerIE · 23-07-2012 9:45pm

Liking the look of Pienaar at 6.5 if he moves to Everton

will maloney even start for wigan?

Kilkenny14 · 24-07-2012 1:35am

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.

grohlisagod · 24-07-2012 5:18am

darego wrote: »

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.

It's still a bit uncertain how Lambert will set out his team, but I don't see Bannon being a regular starter. He will get time on the pitch, but as a sub, with maybe the odd start.

He hasn't improved quite as much as villa fans would have liked, and he was charged with drink driving last year. So to be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if he was moved on, but that's just me saying that.

james123 · 24-07-2012 2:25pm

Hey

Has anyone got any low down on the Reading Midfielders or players in general who to go for and why ?

Ta

mufcboy1999 · 24-07-2012 2:35pm

does anyone know if mcCartney at west ham is a regular starter? he's 4 million..

Lemlin · 24-07-2012 3:00pm

mufcboy1999 wrote: »

Some of the lads were commenting on another thread that he played regularly until March but then was replaced (I think by Demel). The replacement then played the rest of the season and in the play offs.

I'd be watching if he plays for West Ham in pre-season friendlies.

kennyb3 · 24-07-2012 3:19pm

Anyone else think Charlie Adam might be a decent punt at 7m assuming Rogers lets him go forward rather than be the link man from the back. Be interesting to see who is on penos, frees and corners.

You do realise Steven Gerrard is in that team yeah :P

DazzlerIE · 24-07-2012 4:09pm

Anyone know if Joey O'Brien will start for the Hammers?

Need a 4.0 defender, but preferably one that starts

Adam wont be a starter and may even be sold. Henderson, Lucas, Gerrard and Aquilani if he stays will be ahead of him, as would Allen if he signs. And yes Gerrard will be on all the set pieces.

Kebe was one of the main guys last year along with McAnuff, Karacan and Leigterwood. McCleary was brought in from Forest this year and I think he will be involved but its hard to say if he will start so need to watch over McDermotts pre-season selections

He started for them a few days ago in a pre-season match against some team in Germany. He was captain for the match. It was a weak enough team that they put out and he was replaced at half time.

I'm looking at Craig Dawson myself. He's a CB for West Brom. He's off with the Olympic squad at the moment so I've no idea if he'll get a start with WBA at all. He has a few goals to his name and scored 2 goals on his debut for the England u-21s. Not bad going for a centre half. I doubt he's an option for the start of the season though.

FatRat · 26-07-2012 2:34pm

Michu has been added for Swansea and is priced at 6.5. I was hoping for more like 5.5

I'd see Walters and Pienaar, once a move goes ahead, as better value at 6.5 million.

Swansea have a serious amount of midfielders as well. It'd be doubtful if he'll come straight in the first 11. He might come on for a few games to find his feet, unless he does unbelievably well in pre-season.

I was looking for the result online and I just got some guy's twitter account who was watching the game and they lost 2-0. He was hoping the Pog would do well so he mentioned him any chance he could. I couldn't tell ya who played well but here's some of the updates:

-Bywater is at full-stretch as he tips Shorey's deep free-kick over the crossbar
-CHANCE! Antonio's cross is flicked on by the Pog, but Le Fondre scuffs the follow-up
-The Pog goes up for a cross but Bywater does well to win it
-SAVE! Bywater denies McAnuff with a great block on the line

It's not much but I hope it helps

shadowcomplex · 26-07-2012 5:13pm

So if Pieenar moves to Everton do ye think hes a better option at 6.5 than Michu

eoru · 26-07-2012 6:10pm

does anyone think that aquilani could have a miraculous revival under rodgers .... potentially playing football that may suit him or is he destined to be deadwood? ... 6.5 mil .... probably pushing the boat out abit too far taking a punt on that!!??

Without doubt.

badbeatcentral · 26-07-2012 7:29pm

What about Walters he's at 6.5 too, Is he likely to still be on penos? Pienaar vs Walters?

I wouldn't be very keen on Walters as he had a bad run near the end of the season.

iMuse · 27-07-2012 1:12am

Chelsea's Oscar being added for a price of 8.5M

POKERKING · 27-07-2012 9:11am

be interested to see how much snodgrass will be at norwich, lots of potential with him.

Ya i couldnt find it anywhere myself, strange. Thanks for the update though

Newgrange Warrior · 27-07-2012 5:17pm

Downing (6.5m) may suit Rodgers style and he can't be any worse than last year.

His specialism is crossing the ball, I don't think he will.

And even at that he wasn't the greatest.

Aquilani might be worth a gamble if he manages to get a game. At least he's able to pass the ball.

dahat · 27-07-2012 8:15pm

Ruiz of Fulham is a player who could score well this year with the likelhood of Dempsey moving on,he has had a season to settle in and had some good moments last season.
Only bogey is he is listed as a forward but likes to drop deep

Damn - I was expecting 5.5 too. I will have to stick with Mark Noble as my cheap midfielder.
