Good man.

Collins is probably out GW1 & Ravel is an issue with Downing.

it's that start of season optimism

Very similar to mine at the back. I think I'm going to wait and see how well Zaha and Negredo perform. I'm punting on Soldado though.

Negredo is a nice punt, I'd be worried about him not starting, same applies to Zaha

its friday.

Presume that was meant for me!

Luiz to Ivan done, can't afford Harper to a 4.5 goalie, not fussed at this point Mignolet will do.

Ravel Morrison - if Downing is a threat maybe Barkley?

Morrison West Ham.

This

i've managed to stay away from that so far

Negredo is currently in my side. Can't ignore opening fixtures and at 9.5 gives flexibility to move on elsewhere if needed.

I'd like to get him in but I'm unwilling to spend 9.5 on anyone until they are nailed nearly every week.

referring to the scots as 'Scotch' is intended to be derogatory - unfortunately it only serves to illustrate what a tw*t the author is

What about them?

A

not trusting newcastle. downing is downing

between lallana and morrison. if west brom play with him in the hole, he's the best bet, but otherwise, Lallana is the way to go.

Don't like any of those options though. RVP?

B to play it safe, A if I want to take a risk.

Thanks everyone 🙂

Lambert, no brainer. With Dzeko you just don't know how much game time he'll get

lambert, assure starter.

I'm tempted to captain lukaku

Lukaku could be a great (C) punt

ram- done

*interesting

Yeah, agreed

maybe some self interest from giroud, but he's right. walcott doesn't have the smarts to play centre forward.

Neither is Giroud.

I said similar things on this forum last season and got pelters

Migs and Turner

🙂
I disagree, it secured me my ML and won me 300 in another league 😉

if only he could wait gw2 to start firing 🙂

Just go with Kim, if you like a punt then Tonev

i think he needs a director of football

I'm an Arsenal supporter, and it has been a disaster. I imagine the big signings will be mediocre players bought in desperation who they will be trying to off load by next season.

Yes. It's worrying. Even showing signs before the first kick off/ Sagna, Rambo, Walnuts scarey with there busy period soon.

How is Rambo? any news.

Don't really get this. Wenger bid for Suarez as a player not as a man. Would you expect to get Messi for less than 40m because he'd had a bit of bad PR recently? Suarez is worth more than 40m. That's why he didn't get him for 40m.

He's afraid to spend money and risk a flop like Veron or Carroll if you ask me.
Its easy year to get the good vote from those who judge by saying I am backing youth but what good is that when those players - Clichy, Nasri, RVP, Fabregas, Toure, Song, Adebayor, Hleb and even right back to Anelka all jump ship the first chance they get. These were all players that he bought young or picked from obscurity and theyre gone elsewhere and have won medals...

Worse still is that Arsenal have allowed many of them to enter the final year of their contracts leaving the club with F all power and refusing to pay the wages to keep them.

So I would agree and call it a shambles, even an utter joke. Spend the damn money Arsene and get the quality needed to challenge or else retire...

might take a punt on lukaku. i probably don't have the pelotas though

Please?

Some think Boruc might blow up and Davis get some playing time. Harper - not as likely and may lose value as casuals drop him.

Highest points scorer appeals to casuals (and some on here judging by Rmts) He won't be nailed and his value will likely fall after a few weeks

Don't think too much into it. You get people that will just pick these type of players as bench fodder with no intention of ever playing them because of their price to invest more in their starting 11

yeah, i'd like to know too. is harper nailed? is davis? surely all the 4.0m keepers wont get starts to begin with at least

Looking like he's out GW1. So Tomkins might step in. But Collins should be a good bet for most of season.

There could be a chance yes, also an injury doubt, i've gone with Michael Turner

yes, leaving in. on the bench anyway

Have decided against it I think and gone with Toure and 2 4.0s rather than Collin, Murner and 1 4.0.

Nope. Changed to TurnerM

Yes. That Shaw is my backup isn't very comforting. Chester could be getting autsubbed in with minus points...

yupp

Yep

I will downgrade Ivanovic to Collins after GW 1 if his prospects look good, until then I will go for Turner.

Didn't Big Sam say he had no injuries?

I am, although a little worrying that clyne and brayford are my backups.

Terry. Haz. Luka.

terry lukaku and hazard right now

Ivan, Luk, Haz

lukaku oscar hazard

mata ram haz

Haz, Oscar, Lukaku

Terry, Hazard, Lukaku

Cech, Haz, Lukaku

so if you don't make signings it means your team is crap, Spurs have made a load of signings because of Bale practically leaving. Same with Pool

I can't see Arsenal staying above Spurs with the squad they have. Not because I doubt there talent but they need reinforcements. Lost 10 senior players, some were fairly regular and they needed depth even when they had them.

And I have always said Tottenham's real problem has always been in lacking a good, consistent striker, they have that now in Soldado.

Utd are virtually guaranteed 3rd IMO. They are leagues ahead of Arsenal (and I'm a gooner) who are in turn well ahead of their competition.

i traditionally go with 2 cheap playing GKs.
but this year starting with cech, plan on selling for hart week 2 ( as i've no city cover and think they'll rotate at back). 4mil non playing gk in reserve who shouldn't lose price for a while.
