Gw24 - Transfers

Mint Sauce

Can't decide. Just tempted to bank it.

Cartman78

Giroud & Pieters out for Coleman & Carroll.

Yet another hit and probably late as usual on both bandwagons

What do we think
Giroud to Andy Carroll is probably another option.

Have you no other way of funding Giroud to Lukaku?

What about (4) bank and do three transfers for next GW. Probably means starting Stanislas this week which is not ideal but not a disaster.

I'm banking this week.
I've 4 players atm for GW28;Brunt,FM,Fraser and Phillips. Siggy will almost certainly be my next transfer but Llorente and Mawson are other options too. Carroll and Antonio look the likely picks for the hammers. (I was hoping Feghouli could be a cheap option but with Ayew and Kouyate to come back he is too risky.)


I was reluctant to recommend Llorente as a Giroud replacement given Swansea's fixture this week but has a nice run on paper to GW30 so I'll just suggest benching the French striker could be an option.

I would not put anyone off buying the Man City guys but I'd be assuming you have more GW28 starters than me.

@Pimpyhat Really gutsy move dropping Sanchez. 2 FTs used? Having bought him back for 11.4
myself I must admit it did cross my mind but only briefly. Will revisit after Hull.

Should have said I've 0 itb. No other players I'd like to get rid of bar Stanislas

Since New Years Day Mane has played

2/1 90 minutes v Sunderland
15/1 90 minutes v Tunisia
19/1 90 minutes v Zimbabwe
28/1 120 minutes v Cameroon
31/1 15 minutes v Chelsea

That is 405 minutes in total, or 4.5 full games. In the same span Emre Can has played 585 minutes.

If Mane can't play tomorrow because hes had too much football, poor Emre must be on the verge of hospitalisation!!

What December & the start of season? Emre wasn't in the team for quite a while. He flew straight in for the match Tuesday, guess we will see tomorrow

Mr.Prodston

I'm selling Giroud and I already own Benteke and Lukaku.

Kane is the correct choice I presume?

The urge to submit to the will of Jesus is strong and then there's Costa....

Hogey007

Went with Costa in for giroud.

Lukaku can wait for now.

I already have eriksen & Alli & have no Chelsea attackers so was easy enough for me to choose Costa over Kane. Plus it'll make it a lot easier to get lukaku in for Rondon

Probably going Costa myself. But I have no Chelsea attacker and have Alli. Will think about Kane again but the price is an issue too.

Rikand

If Jesus gets me nothing else, he'll likely get me a tasty little price rise!

51% to another rise already

Liverpool were playing once a week up to mid December. Any footballer can handle that. Mane has played 3.5 games in a month so has had loads of recovery time.

Klopp seriously contemplated starting him on Tuesday and only left him out because Mane hadn't be around for the tactical training.

As you say, we will see tomorrow, but I am certain he will start. I don't own him by the way, but am a Liverpool fan.

Same as you. Who do you think will make way?

Can will make way. Llalana will go back central.

I think it will be Can. Lallana back into midfield.

What did you decide re. Giroud?

You must be mixing me up, I don't own Giroud.

extra gravy

Think I might do Stan to Zaha now. Stan has Everton, City and United in his next 4 plus him getting subbed early is a worry.

Doh!
Lukaku? I don't like the hit idea but would mean losing Alonso probably.

Jumping between a -4 (now Forster, Lallana and Defoe to Hennessy, Snoddy and Lukaku) and keeping Defoe for one more week.

I'm leaning more towards bringing in Lukaku and taking the -4 as the night goes on.

I was gonna suggest downgrading the keeper and rolling a FT.
My faith in Lukaku is lacking lately.

For those wondering if Holgate starts tomorrow

Stan I'd say. Bony and Diouf back from AFCON so might rest Crouch

Difficult because it's highly likely that both will get hauled off with 20-30 minutes to go.

Stan rarely sees out the 90 and Huges wants Berahino to get minutes on the pitch.

I'd go with Stan.
