    Why not consider Anichebe for the same price? Looked a beast for Everton when he came on last night and has a nice run "on paper"
    He won't be a starter.

    He might if Jelavic doesn't find his scoring boots soon.

    Might have been asked already but anyone know when Ruddy is due back or Ben Arfa? Thinking of getting in Bunn and Marveaux

    Also, any word on when Nelsen is heading off?

    It's being reported tonight that his last game will be against Man City on January 29th.

    Everyone aboad the Anichebe bus.

    Fellaini + Anichebe is my double sub for the next GW. That said, there's a week and a full FA cup fixture list between now and then.

    Thanks for that, do you think Fabio will keep his place? He has started the last 3 games

    You would think so unless Harry has a bit more wheelin' and dealin' to do. I would worry though about QPR defensively without Nelsen. I will be avoiding their defenders until I see how they cope with his absence.

    Two FTs, contemplating using one or both of them. Would appreciate thoughts on the following:

    1) Bale and Berbatov OUT, Silva and Fletcher IN (leaving me 0.5 in bank).

    2) Bale and Berbatov OUT, Silva and Sturridge IN (leaving 0 in the bank).



    As was pointed out to myself, Bale has Norwich, West Brom, Newcastle and West Ham in his next 4. Was considering swapping for Gerrard, but have done a complete U-turn. He will score big, I have faith :pac:

    I don't see it.

    Pog has a better chance of playing, and has actually been scoring better since he started getting regular gametime. Scored three in last 4, and picked up BP's.

    I won't be using him much but you need your subs to be playing. Anichebe is far too incosistent, he's only played over 60 mins 4 times all season! Pog has done so 14 times. Easy decision.

    i'm keeping my transfers until after the FA Cup weekend.

    I'll get a better idea of rotation, and also there is a risk of injuries.

    doing the same myself. I dont have ba but if u did after the weekend we should have a fair idea of whether he will start against reading.

    My thinking is ba to start the cup game Torres to start against Reading. Torres under less pressure away from home and more likely to score. Also fits in with rotation. Could be wrong.

    I pray you are right! Just cashed in on Ba and got Fellaini, could really do with a transfer working out...

    It seems like Torres will be given a chance tonight ahead of Ba.

    which means unless Torres goes nuts, Ba is pretty nailed on for the weekend, when he could go nuts himself.

    hmmm.

    i want City cover though, so do i just leave Mata as my Chelsea cover and get in Aguero? it does seem the logical choice.

    Ba can go nuts at the weekend in the cup all he wants.

    shít, got confused there.

    who knows what way Rafa will work out League Cup, FA Cup, League?

    either way, I was waiting until after the weekend to make a decision.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,022 ✭✭✭✭Iused2likebusts


    for those of you thinking of getting city strikers in we will know the teamsheets for the 4 tuesday night games before the transfer deadline of 19.30 so best off waiting till the last minute. Unfortunately for Ba owners Chelsea game is the wed night.

    I've been waiting to get Bale back in until after the DGWs. Glad now as I didn't miss much by not having him and he's at -92% on FISO so could go down in price.

    So I'm holding out to make the transfer, he's going down slowly but hoping he drops 0.1 before I get him in.

    If anybody wants to help a brother out, please consider dropping Gareth Bale this weekend. :p

    He won't go down, the 92% was because he was playing Utd and lots needed to get him out to get Walcott or Santi in for the dgw, It's more likely that he will score at least 7 points next week and start to go back up in price.

    My opinion of course.

    Yeah only -28 teams sold him today so not looking great. I agree it was for the Arsenal guys. But with Lampard, Silva and Gerrard becoming more popular and Walcott, Michu and Fellaini a bit cheaper, Bale seems the guy to drop of the 'regular 5' in order to bring in the new guys.

    I'm optimistic.

    Bale is crap, everybody transfer him out!


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


    Walcott is as good an option as Bale anyway, the pts show that.

    Getting both in might be best....if possible of course.


  • Posts: 17,735 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Present team:

    Begovic Federici
    Cameron Gibbs Davies Demel Clyne
    Walcott Bale Mata Michu Marveaux
    RVP Suarez Ba

    Apart from Ba going next week, I'm struggling to see any transfers this week. Gibbs too has a good run ahead although I'm thinking of moving him out for Nastasic. I think otherwise my squad seems pretty balanced, am I missing anything?

    Edit: Oh the next GW isn't til the 29th of January, that's a good bit away.

    I have Walcott and cazorla , the plan was cazorla to bale , not sure if i should do that now

    Its still the right move I think

    Get Fellaini in, bonus points magnet

    Knowing my luck I'll take Dzeko out when he's not named on the teamsheet, he'll come off the bench to score a hattrick and the person I switch him to does nothing.
