The ScoutCast – Episode 122 – Animal

Granville and I have tackled some hard-hitting issues on the ScoutCast but it was perhaps inevitable that, on handing the opportunity for you, the community, to provide queries, things would ratchet up a few notches and have us chew over the subjects that matter most.

Listen in to this week’s episode and find out how the pair of us answered the first round of questions from you folks – including a humdinger that stretched our limited mental capabilities to breaking point.

Minds blown, we still managed to take on the ScoutCast regulars, rinsing through the bandwagons in all aboard, whilst previewing the forthcoming midweek Gameweek with both our Wildcard’s active. Elsewhere, Granville puts another phantom Lukaku assist under the grill, while I ponder the merits of achieving an unlikely differential using Sergio Aguero and the armband. No really, I’m 12% sure it’s going to work.

By the way, watch out for Jonty’s Hot Topic next week for your chance to fire us a question that’s certain to derail the next episode.

For now, though, slip the leash and listen in via this link or go wild via the handy player below.

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

    It may have happened ages ago, and I know it was certain anyway, but the Man City and Sunderland fixtures have now been removed from GW28, so when can we expect the DGW to be announced?

        Man United and West Brom.

        Obviously whether it happens before or after GW28 is pretty critical to planning.

            There was article about likely dates for games. Obviously Sunderland has more options so chances are they won't be together.
            Unlikely city will be arranged before

            United/City game likely to be GW31 - see earlier article

            Sunderland/WBrom will likely be played earlier but a guess at this stage

        It's a tough one that. It is almost unfortunate for those of us who are behind in our ML that Pools away fixtures until the end of the season are so largely favorable when those would be the most ideal weeks to shift the (c) on someone else. I fancy Suarez in the derby to pull a haul but if you don't in your gut I would say this is a decent gw to take a gamble on someone else in your situation.

          Fellaini coming back to fitness and in all honesty I think he'll do better without Carrick. Can't play them together, both need a high energy, pressing midfielder next to them (Maybe United will sign one as well as Mata?)

            Oscar could become Silva next week (or anyone else for that matter). I don't see that a City mid is essential. They just don't have enough goal involvement (and my luck with Silva is terrible).

      I feel sorry for Liverpool fans. They just have no chance to compete due to their owners being skin flints. Haggling over a million for Salah what a joke. Then Chelsea come and bid that in an hour and they don't have a chance. It's almost comical. Now they look at loaning Shaqiri. They have to resort to loan deals like some poor beggarly club. What a huge fall from grace in the last 20 years. They have comforted themselves by laughing at United, but they can go and blow 37 mill on Mata. Watch them get 4th place. Liverpool won't get in the CL, Suarez will leave, and it'll be the last great player they'll ever have.

      As a Millwall fan, I feel for em. I remember when we got to the FA cup final. We had a great team for us with the likes of Cahill and Reid. Then we sold Cahill for 1.5 mill! What a joke. No club can do well selling their best players.

      Unless you have oil money, what's the point? I hope all these oil clubs bugger off and form their own oil league. No one has a chance. Still, I guess I'd love Millwall to get oil money, but I'd always feel like I sold my soul.

        I'd keep Coleman.

        I'd get Mata over Rooney tbh.

        Look at a differential striker up there.

        Maybe some Yaya.

          that's why I'm prepared to set a plan and do it quickly with -4's so I can get where I want and be reactionary from there.

          I'm not sold yet on whether I keep Coleman. Could do. Getting Ade opens a lot of doors..

          really do want to believe that Ade will continue to care, because if he does then her performs, but he's just so moody..could have this in 4 transfers:

          Boruc - Davis
          Coleman - Chiriches - Azpi - Kosc - Ward
          Haz - Mata - Silva - Cabaye - Jedinak
          Suarez - Aguero - Ade

          do quite like the idea of having 4 quality defenders to pick from week in and out and Ward is the perfect 5th defender (especially being OOP)

          also will probably switch back to Zizou, just had this Archer one in honor of the show's return lol
