    Man this sh*t moves quick. Somehow lost in the melee of last page.

    With Costa . Rooney nailed in.
    & I'm confident Coutinho will perform, Ramsey and Siggy also pinned down.

    Can anyone help me with a 15.5m option for a mid and a striker.

    Barkley & Giroud or
    Eriksen & Remy are the best I can come up with.

    Shall I go 10m for Hazard and just play a 5.5m striker or split it a little more equal.

    Chris Baird. Is this man the best undiscovered 4m player in the game? He has started three preseason games in central mid. He clearly is going to play there. He was Irvine's first signing and rumours are abounding that he is considering making him vice captain. Ok we have to weigh this up with... he's Chris Baird... and he's playing... for West Brom.
