    There are seriously lack of players I want to buy at the moment! Any suggestions? Team is linked; pondering whether to replace Enrique and or bale. Already replaced Carzola to Walcott (rather get podolski for the Dgw).

    Much appreciated

      Enrique out for an Arsenal defender would seem appropriate. Wouldn't lose Bale for a hit I think.

      I'm thinking about this with Sterling out and Fell in. Took a hit last week to bring Pod and Walker in for Rafa and Tev which worked out but I'm having second thoughts about this particular one now even though it was/is mighty tempting

      Trying to convince myself that Moyes might deploy him deeper in the CM role with Gibbo and Pip out and The Hammer lacking gametime.

      I've got Punch to start instead and I really think he could do something at home to Arse - televised game, should be plenty of goals I hope

      Similar boat, see above. I'd leave Bale since he has QPR first game back and there's at least a slight chance Mata will be rested. I'd also leave Michu since (pending furhter updates tomorrow) he isn't completely ruled out and might play against a poor Villa side. That leaves Nolan. Thinking about losing him for Fellaini for a hit.

          I guess. I'm just not sure Fellaini's going to explode as much as people think.

    Will Baines' price ever actually drop to a decent level so I could bring him in? Delivered nothing but 2 pointers for the last couple of months but still he's 7.5 million and not looking like he's gonna drop any time soon... Weird....

      Not the way he's been playing. Everton are short in midfield now as well. IMO Fellaini will be playing deeper for a while.

    I'd probably do it for a 4 point hit. Fellaini could hit the ground running and Walcott has proven how vital he is to Arsenal.

    Bego (Bunn)

    Davies - Enrique (if fit) - Demel

    Mata - Michu - Walcott - Silva

    RVP - Suarez - Berbs

    Subs - Bassong - Puncheon - Nelsen

      Enrique won't be fit so he'll be replaced with Bassong. Otherwise the team is fine.
