The ScoutCast – Episode Eighty Four – Santigold

Out of his pajamas and back in the studio, Granville and I reconvene after another dull international break to resume ScoutCast duties.

Arsenal’s new playmaker dominates, with the pair of us coveting Santi Cazorla’s charms and competing for his affections, whilst, in the back of our minds, wondering if we’re being taken in.

Robin Van Persie also gets some oxygen – don’t worry, that’s not oxygen treatment – he’s just the subject of this week’s discussion as we chew the fat on the “essential†debate that appears to rage on as the Gamweek’s roll by. The regulars all find their place amongst the merriment, as heat is turned up on the mini-league and mini-game struggle between myself and Mancunian magic man.

Grab the fools gold via this link, or stream it now via the player below…

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

      every player at United is a rotation risk (bar perhaps our cbs atm as they are our only 2 match fit ones and Valencia as Young is awful rw and Nani is just awful). Fergie loves to tinker with his team. Rafa has been awesome and doesn't deserve to be dropped. But it doesn't mean he won't be

      I'm Saints to the core and when they hammered us, I got one thing out of that game.
      What a fookin great team spirit they have there. Fair play to A/W and all at the club.

      Something always good happens when you have a great manager with team and all staff and fans behind you...........that's why they don't need one player to keep them great.

      I enjoy watching good football.

    I don't see a reason why you shouldn't own RVP at this point of the season. He's got a great run in just 3 weeks time, and as Mark said, where would you spend the money if not on RVP? If I didn't have RVP, I'd surely have had a pricey midfield (4 9-10ers and a bench fodder), but you don't need that when you have so much value in the mid-priced mfs this season. And there's not much value in defense too, as the heavy priced defenders aren't getting any more returns than the budget ones.

      what you need to consider is points potential...

      with 19m you get RVP+a 5.5m mid while you can also get Cazorla+Bale

      Which combo do you think will score more? I went with the second option and sold RVP...

      Granville, other than Silva's injury, why the attraction of Nasri? City's fixtures up until the derby are

      SWA, whu, TOT, avl, CHE, wig, EVE

      Only ones that stand out are Swansea and Wigan

      Especially when you consider the fixtures for Ben Arfa and Walters

        Well I have Ba anyway and just not interested in Walters.

        Nasri will play right in behind the front men whilst Silva is out which makes him good value. City will score in almost all those games.

    I'm going to have a real hard look at Nasri again if Silva is out long term.

    I have the money to go HBA --> Nasri (to also avoid a Toon double up) once we get an update on Silva.

    That will give me a front 7 of:

    Nasri Michu Cazorla Bale
    RVP Suarez Ba
