    Right lads, need a defender to replace Gorkks. I get 3.9 million for him and have 2.5 million in the bank.

    My other defenders are Clark, Shorey, Cuellar and Hughes. I have Begovic and Jaas in goals and don't like doubling up.

    I'm thinking Caulker or an Arsenal defender. I'd go for Nastasic but Mancini's meddling wrecks my head.

    Can you make use of the money elsewhere?

    Maybe Mertesacker?

    And re: Caulker, I remember you saying that last week and I was looking at the same move. I'm worried about what happens when BAE comes back though and that doesn't look like being too far away.

    Yep, I want to try and save some of it. I had planned to go Tevez to Aguero but I'm now thinking Tevez to Torres could be a cheaper and better move. After next Gameweek of course.

    Mancini's meddling won't be pretty over Xmas I reckon.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 833 ✭✭✭omniscient_toad


    A bit stuck for who to go for in midfield, injury apocalypse meant I brought in Sessegnon purely to avoid ending up with 10 possibly 9 men and I have Fellaini/Michu/Sterling/Bale, can't really see a compelling choice at any price. Arsenal/Cazorla look a bit miserable, Silva has been quiet the last 3 games after showing an initial upsurge, Chelsea are a confusing mess at the moment with a new manager and Nolan has trailed off his impressive early form.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,264 ✭✭✭✭manual_man


    2 ft and may well use both + another to get rid of my 3 Sunderland jokers. Mata i think i'll keep despite his blank gw, he's just too good. Bassong for Cuellar will probably be my first change, he should go up 0.2 this week as well as being Norwich's top scorer, i think

    Did you bring in that Southampton keeper a few weeks back? He wasn't even on bench today

    Nope, went with Bunn (who didn't look much better today).

    Thanks for the advice! Much appreciated!

    Fletcher to Berba,simples......5.7 in the bank.......


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,094 ✭✭✭SpaceCowb0y


    Want to bring Suarez back in for the Villa game, choice is for who... Either Tevez away to Newcastle or Defoe home to Swansea??

    I'm transferring out Tevez. There'll be too much Coty rotation over Xmas.

    Does Suarez, Defoe and RVP not seem a little weak though? Im afraid Defoe will be rotated with Adebayor too!

    Fletcher out,the shower of shite that's Sunderland at the moment have too many games they'll not get anything from coming up.

    Berba,Ba or Defoe to replace him?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,643 ✭✭✭Phoenix Park

    I haven't had Defoe at all this season. AVB seems to fancy one up front usually (can play two sometimes of course) and i still think once Defoe goes a couple of games without a goal which is inevitable that Adebayor will come back in and hold his place. He's a much better forward than Defoe, Defoe is on a freakishly hot run though and fair play to those who stuck with him. :(

    Just taken a 4 point hit for next week, had these two in mind for the past few days as i had 3 million in the bank after ditching Silva for Michu a few days ago (yay!).

    Cuellar and Britton (perennial 3rd sub) OUT
    Ben Davies and Fellaini IN

    Leaves 0.0 in the bank, but i had to get Fellaini in at any cost this stage, he's hammered me by not having him and i can't take it any more! Also happy to swap a Sunderland defender for a Swansea one as Sunderland have some tough fixtures coming up and i'm already exposed with Mignolet as a goalie option. Shane Long is the only read "dud" in my squad now i feel, hopefully he turns this poor recent form around. Three decent fixtures coming up.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,962 ✭✭✭Hogey007


    would of liked to get shawcross in but i think other areas need my attention unless i want to take a 4 point hit which i don't

    I've wanted to get rid of crouch for a while and his price is dropping a lot. had also planned on getting rid of fletcher after the DGW. not sure what striker to bring in. i'm thinking defoe and he's due to go up .1 tonight so not sure if i should do it tonight or pay the extra .1 to make sure he doesn't get injured tomorrow.

    will get rid of whichever of crouch/fletcher i don't sell then in a week or two for most likely berbatov to have him in in time for his nice run of fixtures.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,049 ✭✭✭unkymo


    Cuellar out, Cameron in.

    I have George McCartney sitting on my bench for the last few weeks so he'll be gone next week for either Ben Davies or Nathaniel Clyne.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 413 ✭✭TaytoCrisps


    Silva and Defoe in for Tevez and sessegnon this week baring injuries tomorrow


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,747 ✭✭✭Swiper the fox

    You need to think carefully about Defoe, he's in great form and will always have a decent goals to minutes ratio but AVB will be looking to get Adebayor into a bit of form and views him as his number 1 striker, Defoe will be lucky to play 50% of the time after the next week or so.

    Silva still much too pricey for what he will return IMO.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 329 ✭✭donglen


    Suarez or Berba?

    Yeah, cos having 3 of the top 5 forwards in the game is very weak. You could hardly expect any points back from that lot. :pac:

    He does? This is the same Adebayor who has 234 minutes to his name all season and a measely 8 points? Versus Defoe's 9 goals and 1176 minutes in the same period? Why would any sae manager drop his top goalscorer for a loose cannon like Adebayor? From what I can see, AVB is more likely to play Dempsey up front than Adebayor....

    It could be a horses for courses situation and Defoe will certainly get a lot of game time, not as much as he has while Adebayor was out though. AVB will probably want to play most weeks with one striker, look at the midfield options he has, Adebayor has a more physical presence for the lone striker role and the word is that he favors Adebayor, I'm only issueing a note of warning for anyone buying Defoe now, he will certainly be in a competition for his place whereas until now he has been a certainty.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,141 ✭✭✭Santi101


    Def not as good as Falcao ha but he's in great shape this season. Adebayor is a stroppy, overrated muppet. Him and AVB dont seem to be on great terms either.

    Fine in tough away games, but I can see both starting alot. He went with Ade alone away to City, went with both away to Arsenal. Anyway, Spurs' fixtures look fine over the next month so I wouldnt be moving DEFOE on yet.

    Plus there seems to be some underlying issues with Ade's fitness, whereas Defoe is in his best shape in years.

    No source, am I required to give one with every throwaway comment, like most here I have no insider knowledge of any Premier league team, what I said was something I had heard mentioned on the Boards Spurs supporters Club forum and possibly on radio I think. The last time AVB made a decision between them he went with Adebayor, as far as I remember that was after Defoe scored a hat trick mid week in Europe.

    Guys, like the rest of ye I am only giving my opinion, you might need to be wary with Defoe, maybe I'm completely wrong, as a Spurs supporter I much prefer the little guy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,094 ✭✭✭SpaceCowb0y


    Rooney is beginning to look tasty again! Much cheaper then RVP and is good to see him popping up on the score sheet again lately!

    I'm not too sure if you are genuinely interested or if it is an attempt to belittle me for some percieved slight on your part, I didn't just make it up, I was just relaying something I had heard or read somewhere recently, I have other things going on in my life, it is even possible that what I said was incorrect, nevertheless it is what I heard.

    There's a bit of truth in what Swiper is saying but the reality is that nobody knows what AVB will do over the coming weeks.

    Today he's got both Ade and Defoe upfront but Bale is out so Dempsey is covering his position.

    I'd be cautious when it comes to Defoe and he's not really one I'd be looking at long term. Having a fit Bale in your team seems like the more sensible option.

    Anyway, now I need to re-evaluate my Rafael out move.

    I'm looking for someone to replace Tevez. Defoe is one of the names on my list of potentials.

    Apologies so for my paranoia. I've already given my opinion on bringing in Defoe, I would tread carefully, I honestly think Ade will play more minutes. When you look at the Spurs midfield it seems likely to me that they will play a lot of games with one up front, If Sigurdsson comes into any form he'll expect to start as well,

    Sigurdsson is completely wasted at Spurs, cant see him pushing into the first team much at all! its a joke, he was lethal last season for Swansea! I know its off topic but he could have been magic at Liverpool!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 413 ✭✭TaytoCrisps


    I was all set to drop tevez for defoe but having 2nd taughts now. he wont start every match but still has 7 goals and 10 assists so far . cant complain to much about those returns over the course of the season

    Im looking to get Suarez in for Defoe but seriously considering shipping McAuley out for Bassong and just getting it over with! What a hero he is turning out to be for Norwich!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,123 ✭✭✭the whole year inn


    Why would anyone consider swapping tevez,on for 30 minutes and 2 assists.Nearly the top stricker in the ff and alot cheaper the the top stricker (RVP).
    Mancini was sick with Batotelli today so I think Tevez will start with Augero with rotation maybe coming in the 60+ minutes.
    Im keeping him!

    I was thinking about swaping Pienaar for Fellani maybe worth keeping tho and walcott to Arteta thoughts?


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 68,402 Mod ✭✭✭✭Grid.


    Tevez was brilliant when he came on.....he has to be first choice with Aguero, instantly turned the game around. Balotelli throws his usual strop..when subbed!:rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,383 ✭✭✭S.M.B.


    It's not the first time that Tevez has done well with Balotelli throwing a hissy fit and Mancini has still continued to rotate his 4 strikers.

    I said before that I'm going into this Christmas with players who are guaranteed their 90 minutes. I'll look at bringing Tevez back in with my wildcard if he nails a place down over the coming 6 weeks or so.

    Are Chelsea players prices frozen while they're away?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,676 ✭✭✭thunderdog


    Can anyone see any obvious transfers I might want to do for next week? I plan to keep Tevez and Mata for next week. My main problem at the moment is leaving a lot of points on the bench.
