The ScoutCast – Episode 167 – Stanville

An extraordinary death threat ode to Granville provided the inspiration and backdrop for this week’s Scoutcast.

My co-host wasn’t sure whether to feel flattered or mildly panicked by a community post like no other.

Recovering from the menacing tribute, Granville joined forces with Jonty and myself to assess the merits of the deadline day arrivals, before grappling with another round of community questions.

We rinse through the De Bruyne debate, the heavy-hitter slump, briefly consider buying Jonny Evans, before tentatively giving out dating advice – again inspired by the imaginations of you, the community.

This episode was first broadcast live via our YouTube channel and Google Hangouts. Be sure to subscribe to our channel for news of the latest live additions.

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

      Who cares about Fergie comments on his rivals, he's already biased.
      He said something similar on Messi as compared to Ronaldo, but who cares, he's just trying to prove his players are better.
      What did he said about Pogba?

      Gerrard is not the greatest of player but his devotion and mentality placed him on par with the likes of Lampard and Scholes imo.

          "It's not that crazy of a suggestion"...oh for goodness sake...of course I'm not saying there won't be rotation and neither is Granville...but Gran is saying that De Bruyne will replace Sterling in the team because Pelligrini won't want to lose Navas' pace...you do know that Sterling is an expensive new signing and that he's fast right?

          he just said something daft...anybody doing that number of podcasts is going to say the odd daft thing...and that was all I was going to say originally

      That 0.1 is ok, means when he gets dropped from the team we can hold him for a bit without losing any team value. Happy to go with 4 playing defenders this early in the season. When team value is up Targett to a 4.5
