      Same problem here. Really depends on who you ship out for Fellaini. If you have the extra money floating around, need to go for Baines then. QPR are dismal at the back and are prone to mistakes, therefore, conceding penalties. Arsenal are caught napping at the back on occasion too

      Playing for currently the worst offensive team in the league and Chicho should be back for Swans. Not the worst of punts, but I am not a believer.

      No, and his laser vision is also broken.

      He can still fly over peoples feet and fall like a speeding locomotive though.
