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.

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

    Courtois out for a month?

    Jose Mourinho fears Thibaut Courtois could be out for a month.

    The Belgium keeper is definitely out of Chelsea’s trip to Everton with a knee injury. The champions will know more over the next 24 hours.

    Courtois, 23, had scans on Thursday after his injury but Chelsea are understood to have been aware even before then that he was out for Saturday's lunchtime kick-off at Goodison.

      He was offered a renewed contract even before the transfer saga but he refused it as he wanted to move to madrid. He might end up signing the new contract now as he wants playing time to be in good books of the spain coach for Euro 2016. He didn't use Real, rather I would say that Utd played it awesome if DDG ends up signing a new deal. that way if he wants to leave next season then Utd can get a fee rather letting him up for free.

    11 years, 2 months ago

    Evening. On WC and only just spotted Ward is out.

    Myhill / schmeichel
    Bellerin Kolarov Ward Francis Cresswell
    Pedro Ayew Mahrez Silva Sako
    Aguero Gomis Wilson
    1.5

    Schmeichel ---> McCarthy and Ward ----> ?? Darmian loads a bit too much money in defence for me.
    Any suggestions very welcome, thanks. Shocking rank...

    Mark with a great point, I don't think you go from Man Utd to WBA and not be guaranteed first team football. Lindegaard and Evans should be regular starters (in a couple of weeks at least).

        Well...

        Even though Evans looks like a flop at United, he's going to be the top defender at WBA if he stays fit.

        That's the only risk if you want them early. They don't play this week, but should play eventually. Not too proud of that, but I bought Evans on Sunday 2 weeks ago 🙂
