The ScoutCast – Episode 141 – Dither

30 October 2014 3397 comments

Flabbergasted by my reluctance to tinker and the decision to throw away my Gameweek 9 transfer, Granville can’t wait to get stuck into me in the ScoutCast studio.

My co-host roughs me up over my cowardice, then slaps me around for the fact that I appeared to hoodwink the entire world over Diego Costa’s fitness. We then go on to appraise the merits of Ed Sheeran, check in on Neil Warnock’s latest gripes and weigh up the Sterling vs Sanchez vs Hazard debate. Meanwhile, Kieran Trippier’s cross count without an assist for Granville hits 66 and counting. Who’s dithering now, eh Granville?

Dilly-dally over this episode via this link or dawdle in its direction via the player below…

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

      You're in the same boat as me. Great team on paper but lacking an Arsenal goal threat. You've done well to keep ADM given United's trickier fixtures. I think I woulve sold for Hazard or Sanchez.

          I think Ramsey will play alongside Arteta vs Burnley. No need for Flamini PLUS Arteta. Wenger fielded Sanchez behind Welbeck against Sunderland but he may put him back 'wide' for the home game as the wide men will cut in and make 3 up front anyway, with Gibbs and Chambers overlapping. Am intrigued by Wilshere tbh.

          But to answer your question, yes, I'd sell ADM in the short term (probably last week was the best time), for Hazard or Sanchez.

      i wouldn't. Pelle could easily score and Costa could easily get taken off early. Coming from a Costa owner.

      Keep pelle. Trade your striker who is not aguero or pelle to get Costa if you must. Fund with a cheaper Mf than Ramsey
