I pulled the feckin trigger on Coleman last night seeing he was injured and I have my wildcard active. I see he's rated as 75% this morning. The one time I try to get ahead of the game and not lose out on value I'm going to get stung. I've had Coleman for months so he's too expensive to get back in.

That was a crazy move. He hasn't even been assessed yet. Barring gangrene he is staying in my team until he comes back as I have him since gw 1 so he can sit on the bench until he returns.

61 points for the week and up to 85K overall.

Will not be getting in YaYa as Silva is fine and waiting until City's tough fixtures are over for Augerio

Would be surprised if Coleman doesn't miss games. Still, rushing the decision makes no sense when you wouldn't even be in a rush to find someone who isn't rising. Barely anyone is.

6-8 weeks out would be the ideal

(I expect 1 game at most though)

I think you're underestimating the impact of a hamstring injury. I mean it is possible that it is only minor but the likelihood for this kind of thing is a few weeks out stretching as far as the length in your post above.

I just don't want to jinx it.

If he's back at the weekend I'll be pretty disappointed

Edit: next week, whenever the derby is

NabyLadistheman · 21-01-2014 10:53AM

If Coleman is out for a while it will give me the much needed extra funds to possibly upgrade Silva to Toure...

FutureGuy · 21-01-2014 10:55AM

Jesus H. Christ - didn't someone jinx Coleman here???

Finally someone NOT on my team has gotten injured!!!

You're welcome.

Lukaku went down last night so I now cant afford the Remy move. Might just stick with the big f**ker. In no rush to get rid of Coleman, was half thinking of benching him against Pool anyway.

CrabieCrawford · 21-01-2014 11:11AM

Anyone considering benteke, a goal against Liverpool and one against arsenal in his last two. Some nice fixtures come up.

He was shocking for the first half of the season though. Am I mad thinking of going for him over ade/lukaku/Sturridge/viroid/jrod?

Rosco79 · 21-01-2014 11:31AM

Any interest in the Mata to United story? If it comes to pass it will add some much needed choice to midfield....

Don't think United would be set up to accomodate him in a high FPL points haul. Think at his price I'd probably avoid him.

Dempsey · 21-01-2014 12:42PM

United would shoehorn Mata into their system like they've done with Kagawa.

Kagawa is a journey man footballer at best as for United they will have to pull out all stops to make CL places and showhorning wont achieve that....

Because they dont play him to his strengths with any regularity, i.e. shoehorning him into their system.

I suggest you go watch him play for Dortmund, he was nearly a goal every 2 games player in a team that won 2 Bundesliga's. That doesnt begin to cover how creative he can be. United's use of him has been appalling imo.

I'm guessing he meant that he's not a master of anything rather than a well travelled player

Which is still miles off the mark.

Swiper the fox · 21-01-2014 01:33PM

To be fair if you had never seen Kagawa play before this year you could easily accuse him of being a journeyman although the connatations of that word would usually suggest somebody who has played regularly without ever really standing out. For whatever reason Kagawa hasn't shown the form that would suggest he should be a mainstay in the United team, no matter where he has been played he has shown poor touch at times and severe lack of confidence. If Mata signs for United then hopefully Kags will be allowed a fresh start elsewhere. Either way Mata is a proven premier league performer(superstar even), assuming Rooney and Van Persie come back into the team, the addition of Mata and the current brilliance of Januzaj could make United a very dangerous team going forward, they could well come into our reckoning for the close of the season when they'll almost certainly be fighting tooth and nail for the last Champs league spot.

I would have to substitute the word brilliance for potential when discussing Januzaj, he definitely isn't in the top 10 attacking midfielders in the Premiership. Actually possibly 20 when you consider how many Arsenal, Chelsea and City have alone.

Ridiculous comment. Jurgen Klopp in May last year: "Shinji Kagawa is one of the best players in the world and he now plays 20 minutes at Manchester United – on the left wing! My heart breaks. Really, I have tears in my eyes. Central midfield is Shinji's best role. He's an offensive midfielder with one of the best noses for goal I ever saw."

Dempsey · 21-01-2014 01:36PM

Mata would be played out of position when Rooney is fit imo just like what happens Kagawa.

Yup. Maybe if he is a lower price next year as a result of a poor haul this year he may be value next year, but he won't be going near my team this year even if he scores 1 or 2 early on.

Cypher_sounds · 21-01-2014 01:37PM

Any update on Coleman yet?

This is all very recent but right now(very recent form) I would say he's in the top 5, and I am most definitely not a United fan, he was quite possibly the best attacking player on the pitch last Sunday and was unquestionably the best player on the pitch the week before. This guy is absolutely the real deal and he currently has none of the confidence issues which are clearly plaguing Kagawa.

Danger781 · 21-01-2014 01:42PM

Kagawa was allowed into the centre for the second half against Swansea and Januzaj was put out left. United suddenly started playing fantastic attacking football.

So with that in mind, Moyes put Januzaj back in the centre for Chelsea, and played Ashley Young.....

WHAT!?!?

Also, remember back in November (I think it was November), when United beat Bayern 5-0? Guess who played in the centre...

I think Moyes could be racist! That is the only conclusion i can come to at this time.

You mean Bayer Leverkusen

English football has a general fear of that type of player and accommodating them in a team. They rather play a guy that has the legs to run around the pitch doing alot of donkey work

4 yrs at a Japanese club, a complete season over 2 yrs at Brussia and little or no impact at United hardly earth shattering stuff and just as likely was signed by United as part of a marketing roll out. Klopp is as good as the next man at talk up his own book...
