James

Well pissed as a draw was in my accumulator

Was reading the Fantasy Football Scout says he has had the most shots in the box this year. I think he will score today.

Bump this thread on 1st of Feb please Dave and I would be happy to donate. As an alternative have you considered asking for standing orders. I for one would be happy to pay £2 a month, find another 40 like me, then that is your monthly costs sorted at a more sustainable rate.

Fantasy stuff, colback will play, and its too offensive. I want this 442 Sissoko Shelvey Gini Perez Mitro Berahino 433 Shelvey Sissoko Gini Berahino Perez Mitro Both would be horrific without a more defensive minded midfielder in there.

Club should try to cover expenses over this it is bang out of order by Tiote and / or Shanghai to bring him over and then not complete the deal.

We wouldn't be any better off signing a mediocre striker so would generally agree if we are limiting ourselves to top quality strikers even if it means that we don't get a striker.

Splitting our top 20 between positions a little evenly, and with consideration of long term performances (so excluding our newer signings I would say: Keepers: Given, Krul Full backs: Janmaat, Debuchy, Bernard, Enrique Central Defenders: Coloccini, Woodgate Central Midfielders: Speed, Cabaye, Lee, Dyer Attacking midfielders: Robert, Ginola, Solano Forwards: Shearer, Beardsley, Ferdinand, Cole, Ba.

I would say a cross between Dyer and Nolan personally.

I would probably move him to the bench for a few weeks, he is still very young and I think he looks a bit jaded. There are others that can now fill in and he can come back all guns blazing for the final three months.

He looked knackered when he came off he had worked so hard all game.

Elliott - Some good saves - 7 Janmaat - back to his best - 8 Mbemba - would have been a good game but let himself down with their goal - 6 Colo - back to his old self? - 7 Dummett - did ok - 6.5 Colback - didn't do much wrong - 6.5 Shelvey - was the platform for many of our attacks - 9 Sissoko - not his best - 6.5 Wijnaldum - an unstoppable force today. MOTM - 9 Perez - nice goal. Faded as match went on - 7 Mitrovic - led the line and helped us keep the ball high up the pitch. Goals will come if he keeps doing what he is doing - 7 Saivet - some good moments but didn't look fully bedded in - 6.5 Gouffran - still shit - 4 Lascelles - n/a

Just seen a graphic of average positions in the first half. Shelvey is on the centre spot and Janmaat is in their final third.

Still only 23!

That pass to Janmaat was perfect, it is as if he just hit LB + Y on his Xbox controller.

Anita is a different midfielder to Shelvey. Yes a useless one who can't pass.

I want to bum him

Shows how useless Anita is.

He has completely unlocked the team. He is superb.

I hope that he says to someone: "I am your King", and that person replies "Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony."

We replaced him with Ben Arfa. Who is not a true winger.

Are you sure you are ok, your eye seems rather pink?

The last true winger of any ability was Routledge. It is shocking that we never replaced him.

Because he's not that good, it's funny how people forget how bad someone is when he doesn't play. Also he's not a better dribbler than anyone we have. Who are these amazing dribblers we currently have? It isn't Sissoko because his running with the ball is simply about pace and power. It isn't Janmaat as he beats his man off the ball. And it isn't Perez because his play is all about using his first touch to get away from his man. So who else is there?

The initial loan back was part of the transfer agreement with Bastia. Then when he returned to Lille the manager he wanted to play for, Rudi Garcia had quit so he requested a transfer.

Hope he nearly finishes a 1000 piece jigsaw only to find that the final piece is missing.
