Paul Steve Bruce failed to avenge his October St James’ Park thrashing, Man United kept up their unbeaten league season and Kenny Dalglish continued his win-less start to his second stint as Liverpool boss in a day where all four Premier League matches failed to produce a single victor…..
and RIP legend Nat Lofthouse
sunderland fans r genuinely gutted about it, their forums an interesting read right now
to be fair they seem like a decent bunch and when i ask questions they seem to think im a genuine fan not just a fpl geek!!
🙂
I'm sure they're great!
It's a great deal of business to them, although they probably don't know it yet. They have a perfectly able replacement for him in Gyan and they'll be able to strengthen elsewhere when the opportunity arises.
It's an incredible deal for Sunderland! They've easily looked at their best this season with Gyan and Welbeck playing up front together, and trying to accommodate all 3 players into the side hasn't worked at all.
I just wonder if this transfer means that Welbeck may end up permanently being a Sunderland player.
great deal for sunderland i reckon. They badly need a midfield leader, a couple of them. Gyan is as good as Bent i reckon. 18 million could buy some fantastic midfield talent, which they need much more than Bent right now
LMAO! £18mil rising to 24mil, oh dear Villa.
I didn't think Villa had anywhere near that kind of money
It's baffling isn't it, Martin O'Neil must be pulling whats left of his hair out. It's a lot to pay when they need centre mids. Reckon it could be funded by Ash Young leaving?
Downing to Liverpool is a rumour at the moment....
Massive price, but I'll take Bent. Just what we need.
Am I reading the ticker wrong or do Birmingham really have a TRIPPLE gw 27?
It's provisional at the mo.
Without checking, if B'han make it through to the CC final, it's played in March instead I think.
Ok, thanks for the reply.
Yeah but with Dann out for the long-haul their defence might be a bit dodgy and with their lack of goals I'm not sure who would be worth bringing though. Triple game week is very tempting though.
Looking at playing my WC in GW26/27 and keen to get at least 2 Arsenal players in but massively concerned with rotation over this fixture period...
12th Feb - Wolves (Home)
16th Feb - Barca (Home)
22nd Feb - Stoke (Home)
26th Feb - Spurs (Away)
With both the Wolves and Stoke games just 4 days each prior to MASSIVE games for Arsenal is anyone else a little concerned that the likes of Fabs, Nasri and RVP may start these 'easy' home games against Wolves and Stoke on the bench and only given game time if the likes of Arshavin, Rosicky, Chamakh etc. are struggling to do the business or alternatively start the game but brought off early at 2-0 after 'the job is done'.
Bearing this in mind which 2/3 Arsenal players are least likely to be rested for the Stoke and Wolves games?
No responses? I think this is a very good point, although it is difficult to take it seriously coming from The Duck of Doom 🙂
I think the best bet is to second guess what Wenger thinks is his strongest side and assume he'll field this against Barcelona. I think he'll want to play key players against Wolves with a view to taking them off earlier, but I suppose we can expect a reserve team against Stoke. Hmmm.
Afternoon!
Please feel free to query my sanity over the following transfers for the Double GW this weekend.
Tevez and Carroll out for Berbatov and Agbonlahor. For one week only mind.
Not sure if Tevez will have two, great weeks consecutively and Carroll coming back from injury are the factors I'm swaying towards taking a punt.
Please help!! : )
Those are possibly the worst two transfers that I have ever seen suggested.
try bent and rooney?
Bent bandwagon......
bit like a wagon wheel, but no jam
cant believe im the only one who has voted for darren bent in the captain's poll
No, players are now allowed to receive up to 10 yellow cards as we have passed the season half-way mark.
Well Didier this is goodbye.
I have stuck by you since GW1, but after watching Givet turn a 5yd defecit on you running at goal to getting ahead of you and dissposessing you infront of goal was the final straw.
It's not me it's you.
Same, him Cole and Foster are the ones ive got left since GW 1, Cole & Drogba are off this week. Least Cole was kind enough leave me with a cleanie.
+1. From this week forwards, he is dead to me!
With that in mind, Rooney, Berbatove or RVP until my GW27 WC?
Goose do you remeber me asking you if I should do Drogba to RVP on Friday?
I was going to do that too until Gerrard got banned. Fecking liverpool players!
Southampton: We will not sell to the club which offers the most money but to the club which will nurture his talents.
alex oxlade-chamberlain welcome to Arsenal lad 🙂
"81 - Since Aug 2005 Darren Bent has scored 81 Premier League goals, only Rooney & Drogba (both 82) have more in the same period. Swoop.'
Wowzers. Still don't rate him though!
81 useless goals.
Wouldn't let him launder the towels on my team. Hope this kicks off a bandwagon for him, though.
Decided to play my first WC on Saturday.. and it was all looking great until Raefels bookings.. which I had to swap him out for Rio and leaves me next few planned changes stuffed. Always the case this season though!
What do you think?
Foster Gordon (I know, bad rotation)
Baird Coleman Rio ACole Clark(AV)
Dempsey Nani VdV Nolan Adam
RVP Tevez Berba
0.2 in bank
How confident are you that Rio plays x2 next week?
Evra/Vidic are the only decent shouts (defensively) for Utd's DGW, IMO.
+1
i can see rio playing 1 game only
This worried me yes, Vidic is too steep (although reading this Bent news may change that, Berb > Bent anyone?)
Evra never even crossed my mind, but alas just checked and he is out of price range too.
Bent is chasing rainbows ... although he might be a better shout at starting x2 next week.
this darren bent news means im definitely selling kolarov this week! no chance of a cleanie against villa now!
Apparently off to Villa, cant see it really, not for that amount anyway!
"United rarely threatened going forward ... "
Epic fail, Paulos.
Dear Gerard Houllier
Seeing as you're in the mood to lash out crazy cash on pretty average at best strikers, let me bring to your attention a certain Xisco. Haha no he is not some kind of DJ or exotic dancer, he is an extremely average (some say below average) striker expertly scouted by footballs favourite midget Dennis Wise! Bet that has you salivating, and if you want a player of the calibre of Salif Daio to relive your glory days look no further than yorkshire pudding Alan Smith.
You can have them both, and while it's you I'll even add £10m to the asking price so you don't have to carry all that heavy cash around with you. Always a shrewd dealer you Gerard!
Ha! Salif Diao isn't a bad player though... He was Stoke's best midfielder last season in my humble opinion.
You should re-sign Albert Luque too, and play him upfront with Xisco. 😉
In a 4-3-3 with Guivarch *shudders*
Dear Gerard Houllier
Seeing as you’re in the mood to lash out crazy cash on pretty average at best strikers, let me bring to your attention a certain Jason Roberts. Haha no he is not some kind of builder or exotic dancer, he is an extremely average (some say below average) striker expertly scouted by wigan! Bet that has you salivating.
Shhh I'm trying to do a deal here, sell him to the Russians at Chelsea - they took that tosser Benayoun 🙂
attila what is your username for fifa ps3?
i'm at work now, but would liek to have a game sometime when you are online
Oh, and my PSN is a rather original 'jamsiep'. 😉
Attila's is 'Wellesley1815'. God knows why... Wasn't it some ship?
God knows why? I really do worry about the state of education! 😕
Wellesley 1815 refers to Britain's greatest soldier and all round good chap Sir Arthur Wellesley and the 1815 bit refers to his tw@tting of the Frenchies at Waterloo.
Couldn't think of anything else at the time and so went with that.
Wellesley1815. If you ask Greg when you see him he'll add you to the FFScout XI. (Provided you are not a striker as gloryhounds Akers and Greg have already snaffled those positions). You can be a right back, we only have a slow Glen Johnson there at the moment 🙂
Anyone know when Cahill expected back GW26? Everton have a nice little run of fixtures from there on.
The final is being played on 29 January which makes a return to Everton in time for GW 26 pretty likely for Cahill.
Hi guys im struggling for a good team this week. with one transfer my squad is -
foster krul
simpson konchesky kolarov terry knight
nani nasri fab barton adam
DJ Rooney tevez
any suggestiong with 1.7 in the bank?
ditch Konchesky?
I'm assuming, with that squad listed, that you'd be benching Barton, Simpson, and Konch?
"Mourinho is the best coach in the world, but as a man he still needs to learn manners and respect," the City striker told Italian daily La Gazzetta dello Sport.
Rooney or Berbatov for DGW?
Going to use WC this week and I'm seriously considering getting both of them and then one of them out for RVP next week.
BBTov for me. Maybe. Fingers crossed.
I set my phone 7 minutes fast, but it doesn't fool me a bit when the alarm goes off. I just wake up 7 minutes later.
What are thoughts on Modric? Seems to attract bps most games.
Why have Modric when you can have VdV?
Want to get Rooney in, but is anybody else of the thinking that Tevez could do more vs Villa, than Rooney could vs Blackpool and Brum?
If Bent goes to Villa, I'll definitely be considering Gyan. And Welbeck.
I dare say it, this transfer window is actually starting to liven up a bit. Was a complete no-show last year.
To WC or not to WC that is the question.
My plan to have lots of DGWers this week through natural means has imploded spectacularly - Gerrard, Konch, Rafael all not playing both games, leaves me with just DJ, Adam and Nani.
Plus I also have Drogba and Kolarov.
Was going to wait till GW26, but Arsenal fixture logjam is making loading up on Arsenal players that week a bit more risky. And the plum DGWers in GW27 (Everton and Arsenal) have got good fixtures this week too, so why not just get them in now anyway?
Yes, talked myself into it. Any feedback?
who to bench this week?
VDV/Tevez/Nasri
Drop Nasri or VDV for Zogbia?
Just caught on to the Bent news. Surely as a top class goal scorer well suited to playing as a lone striker, he'd be perfect for spurs. Does Harry have his mobile number?
best chance of keeping clean sheet(s) for the double gameweek. Anybody disagree with this order?
1. MUN
2. LIV
3. FUL
4. AVL
5. WIG
6. BLP
