The ScoutCast – Episode Eighty Eight – The Manchurian

2,009 Comments
Share

Granville may well be exotic but he’s not Manchurian, despite what the spellcheck told me a few weeks back. He’s also a happy man. Winning on all fronts, he’s dishing out “one helluva beating” to yours truly right now.

Reveling in his position of power, the Hungarian Mancunian brings me to task on my jerky knee transfers, with the regular ScoutCast favourites scattered around that particular discussion.

Get your ears around our foreign tongues via this link or stream the nonsense through the player below.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      I'd be OK with loosing Pienaar, but uncool to drop Kun.

      I feel that post CL omittance Kun will be boss.

      Therefore I vote 4, frees up cash for future, DGW, and better fixtures should SUN find any sort of form. (didn't look at rest of team)

    Suarez, Berbatov, RVP (C)

    What do people think?
    Have Ivanovic at 6.8 = Is he worth keeping or is a trade the better option to upgrade the midfield?
    Silva a good main man at midfield? My other midfielders up to it?
    Too much Liverpool youth?

      Evra/Ivanovic are wayyyyyy overpriced. Other than that, I don't have any problems with your players in a vacuum. I would downgrade Ivanovic and Evra to maybe Cuellar/Wilkinson and get another bluechipper in midfield: Mata/Bale and Fellaini if possible.

      I did Caz -> Walcott earlier in the week but only to afford Pienaar -> Fellaini. Its probably a bit too sideways on its own.

          Just a general feeling. Michu and Nolan aren't must haves and I'm not keen on some of Granvilles ideas. Just look at some of the trades they have done this season. But I guess I shouldn't expect them to be right all the time but lets be honest, some of the ideas put around are absolute howlers. See Kolarov as case and point.

      That said, I wouldn't be keen on benching any of them.

      Morrison will have plenty of chances to shine through the season. Play the odds I guess. Maybe play Pie and get the smiting finger ready if he fails.
