The ScoutCast – Episode 58 – Holy Moses

This week’s episode of the FFS podcast features some classic match-ups – Nani vs Young, Narni vs Nanny, Tomayto vs Tomahto, Sessegnon v Row Z, Common Sense vs Mark.

All battles are resolved, with the regular stalwarts of the ScoutCast thrown in, culminating with Mark’s desperate defence of his seemingly unshakable faith in Victor Moses. Also, look out for a mention of my Champions League placing – England’s number one for 24 hours no less.

Grab the goodness here…

Did I mention I was England’s number one in the Champions League game? (edit – I see Mark has been busy editing my post)

    It must burn getting rid of Rooney, but anyone who got rid for say Wellbeck, who probably wont play now, thats really gotta hurt!

    I haven't got rid of Rooney, but disappointed in a way that he's fit as I've been pondering the following move.

    Arteta Rooney out

    Nani Hernandez in

    Is it worth doing anyway?

          Chill mate, I am much more that 16. That means I don't agree with that move. I would do only Arteta to Ramsey

      Nah.
      Ok there is still a chance Rooney WONT play this weekend, I think he will but still, reasonable doubt that he will be on the bench for United. However there is an equal risk of Hernandez being benched too, in favour of Welbeck.

      Add to that the pure ballachingly difficult task of trying to get Rooney back into your side if he scores another hattrick.

      Personally I dont think Nani is worth the loss of Rooney.

    On injuries: Wayne Rooney and Javier Hernandez are fit for tomorrow. They trained very well yesterday, which is pleasing. We'll hopefully have Jonny Evans back too. Nemanja Vidic, Tom Cleverley and Chris Smalling should be ready after the internationals and available for Liverpool.

    i doubt he will be benched / rested before an int break - makes no sense what so ever. If Rooney is fit he always starts - which makes the Welbeck bandwagon look quite funny as Hernadez will start for sure, and with Nani/Young I guess playing theres no room for anyway else?
