        I'd like to assume that Aguero is top City striker in your reckoning (but i wouldn't stake my house on that) which would mean you think Negredo is the worst City striker in your opinion?

    Any players you will no longer purchase based just on their on field performances? I swore I'd never get HBA again, but I jumped on the bandwagon a few weeks ago only for him to cost me 20+ points.

    So he's going over the break never to return. I mean it this time.

      This is what you get with him though - bursts of activity.

      Last night Pardew could have taken anyone off Newcastle were that bad. Coleman was rampaging whereas Baines just a bit subdued - think this is why he was taken off (unless there is an injury) yet he was looking decent in an attacking sense.

      I need cash to get Suarez in and it'll be either HBA or Nolan that funds it - likely will give HBA the Cardiff game and lose the latter...

        Yep, which is why I am considering transferring him out for Pablo or Barkley. 😀

            Have I phrased my question wrong or has everyone been out for a drink this evening?

        Thanks Bows

        Yep, I can afford him. I had been planning to get a Swan in anyway so it makes sense.

        I don't have Michu. I presume you meant Pablo rather than Brady. 😀

          I did of course mean Pablo 😀

          Wait though Brady is not dropping yet and Pablo won't rise anytime soon. You should be able to wait until Thursday when we might get an update on his fitness

      Compare Pablo H and Michu in the members area using their average stats per appearance. Check both this season and last season. You'll soon see Pablo H is super quality for swans 😀

        Pablo ruins Michu. Looks at the games when they both played, Michu suffers.
