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.

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.

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.

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

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

Mariappa from Reading should be worth a punt

What was the result of this and who played ( well ) any idea ?

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.

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

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

eoru

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

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.

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.

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.

Don't think oscar will feature too much for chelsea. Where can he fit in?
