Carlos Tevez takes a break. Cesc Fabregas is fit and may feature in Arsenal’s weekend friendly. Steve Kean finally signs a striker, though may see his skipper depart for North London. Alan Pardew is determined to freeze out Joey Barton and Joe Cole’s name blinks on the QPR radar. Here’s this morning’s Scribbles, folks:

The Cesc Fabregas to Barcelona saga drags on this morning. The midfielder has now recovered from his hamstring injury and for the past two days has trained with the Arsenal first-team ahead of Saturday evening’s friendly against Sporting Lisbon. The Gunners are reportedly preparing two first-team photographs ahead of next season- one with their skipper and one without. Fabregas is even willing to take a pay cut to ensure the move goes through but the stumbling block remains a £5m difference in each club’s valuation of the player.

Carlos Tevez is the other big name in the news this morning. City have reportedly extended their skipper’s vacation, allowing him to miss Sunday’s Community Shield clash with United. Tevez’s future remains in the balance, then, and, despite his obvious appeal in Fantasy terms, the City striker will have been crossed off many a pre-season watchlist. He now seems unlikely to begin the season in the City starting line-up when Swansea turn up at Eastlands next weekend

Chris Samba’s Blackburn future is again in doubt as the latest reports suggest Spurs have moved to the front of the queue for his services. A £6 million fee is reportedly on the table as Harry Redknapp looks to bolster his backline. Presumably the Spurs boss has Samba lined up to partner skipper Michael Dawson, with Ledley King’s knee still preventing him from making regular Premier League appearances. Should Samba arrive at White Hart Lane, it’s safe to say that Fantasy managers may look more favourably both on Samba and the Spurs back four.

Blackburn fans can at least take some consolation that their club made their first move in the transfer market yesterday, completing a deal for Dundee United striker David Goodwillie . He is set to make his debut at Kilmarnock this weekend – a full Scout Report on the Scottish starlet will follow later today.

Norwich’s Ritchie De Laet has wasted little in settling into his new surroundings, following his loan move from Man United. The defender grabbed a goal and picked up the Man of the Match award in the Canaries 1-1 draw with Real Zaragoza. At just 4.0 in Fantasy Premier League (FPL) he’s one to definitely consider, for those Fantasy managers undecided over low-price defenders.

While Joey Barton has hinted at seeing out the final year of his contract on Tyneside, Alan Pardew has other ideas. The Newcastle boss is reportedly determined to ensure the midfielder offers no further disruption to first-team matters by forcing him to train alone until his departure. Jose Enrique has closed his twitter account amid reports the club are on the verge of banning all players from using the social media site.

Liverpool’s forgotten man Joe Cole has been offered the chance of a season-long loan deal by QPR. Cole is clearly out of the picture at Anfield and, providing Neil Warnock’s side can afford his wages, would certainly get plenty chances at Loftus Road. With a 6.0 price tag, he’s a budget-friendly FPL option, though many Fantasy managers will steer clear until the situation becomes a little clearer.

      Gibbs possibly
      Rafael was behind Fabio towards the end of last season, and both Jones and Smalling have played RB in pre-season. Rafael is a massive risk. But I'd reserve a spot for whoever ends up being the lock RB.

      Gibbs is a likely starter, I have seen him in a few teams. He has a good attacking presence, but most teams on here have one chelsea defender or Baines, Kompany and now Enrique with his imminent transfer and 2 cheaper options, which is why I imagine most are avoiding Gibbs and Raphael as relative risks, not to mention that Arsenal aren't exactly known for defensive solidity...

      I think Gibbs will be but lack of certainty and the opening fixtures are putting people off.

      Rafael should play a lot of games but will have his evil twin Fabio trying to rob him of FF points.

      You probably already know this if you have spent any time ploughing through the pages on this website, but there is uncertainty over Suarez starting the season.

      Apparently Zamora has picked up an injury.

      Nzogbia is lacking fitness.

      I don't think many are convinced of Lampard at 12m this season, but if he starts the season well you would have a great differential.

              I actually agree on the death penalty thing with you.I don't think because I don't want something changed it shouldn't be debated. 38 degrees an e-petition group got the sell off the the national parks stopped.(without debate)Hundreds a year for internet? Even if it were,tens of thousands of emails. Unit cost? 🙂

                I agree that MP's need to be more accountable for raising questions in parliament, but it's not true democracy if a petition is only online as not everyone uses the internet/is aware of epetitions, whereas most people can afford to/are able to write a letter.

                More importantly, twitter/facebook groups shouldn't be allowed to have a hold on democracy as they're only representative of which group of people is the most organised, rather than which ideas have the most popular support.

                That said the 38 degrees group is a good thing in principle as it highlighted a cause which would have gone unnoticed otherwise.

            lulz- you can always send an e-mail.

            My point has basically been proved though by the fact a petition calling for a the death penalty to NOT be brought back has suddenly shot to the top of the leaderboard on their website.

            This sort of thing is far too easily influenced by facebook/twitter.

    I have changed my team and what do you think of this

    Hart / Given

    Hart is a good keeper and gets a lot of clean sheets I can put given if he is in good form

    Vidic / baines/ Cole/ Evra

    I have gone for two man utd as they won the league and are very solid in defence. baines gets good asiists and so does cole and he is good for chelsea

    Lampard / Nani / Fabregas / Malouda / Adam

    Lampard always does well and Nani is top player last season. I am not sure on Fabregas staying but he cam be changed later. for now he is good. i plan to rotate malouda and adam depending on fixtures

    Tevez / van Persie / Rooney

    This was my strikeforce last year and it is good. If tevez leaves i might get aguero or carrol. I think rooney is good in preseason

    have 0.5 in the bank

        Well , I believe chelsea are going to get quite a few clean sheets this season and I didn't have the bucks for Cole yet. As soon as Luiz is confirmed in their back four i guess I'll jump to Given for Cech and change to luiz.
        As far as midfield goes, I thought its pretty strong...where would you suggest changes?
