The Saturday Surgery

A rather muted Saturday showing, with just six matches on offer, provides the backdrop for another countdown to deadline. The surgery chatroom is now open for business and available here for those looking for some quick therapy and instant feedback on wacky last minute tinkerings and armband switching.

We’ve just under an hour to go, with the Pre-match Preamble on it’s way and Dugout Discussion to follow as Aston Villa and Norwich get this tepid day of action underway.

Akers Richard or Akers, as he is known, has been regularly haunting this site since July 2008. He is young and foolish, take what he says with a pinch of salt. Follow them on Twitter

    Rafael Hughes Baines (Cuellar, Demel)
    Cazorla (c) Yaya Ben Arfa Sterling (Michu)
    Podolski RvP Berbatov

    One FT, 0.5 m in the bank.

    These are the options I am considering:

    a) RvP -> Aguero or Tevez (Free up a little bit cash)
    b) RvP -> Ba (Free up a lot of cash)
    c) RvP -> Rooney (Free up a litte bit cash and keeping United coverage)
    d) RvP -> Aguero and Michu -> Mata (4p hit)
    e) Baines -> Wilson (Free up cash without getting rid of RvP)
    f) Baines ->Wilson and Michu -> Mata (4p hit)

    Bale, Ba or Santi?

    Who is the lowest risk - Ba? Bale could go ape, but might do nothing. Uninterested by Santi owing to Arsenal's form - mmmm, what to do Ba or Bale???

      Ba is the lowest risk, yes. I will probably cap Bale next week, so going Ba this time around...

        Sounds reasonable. Have had a succession of armband shockers - think I'll play it safe.

        Have captained mids in the past and been badly burnt.

    Is a one week play Dzeko (c) madness? Do people think he start today? How did he do midweek?
