VDV on his own is worth more than Cisse. Cisse has always looked like a hit it and get lucky sort of striker to me.

He might have scored goals during half a season, but then so did:

Roque Santa Cruz
Stephen Ireland
Andy Johnson
James Beattie
Michael Ricketts
Grant Holt
Yakubu
Amr Zaki
Marcus Stewart
Francis Jeffers

I think you have let your desperation to get a striker undo all the gains you made from getting Hamsik

Where is Jelavic in that list then?

Yes your right, Jelavic too.

Jelavic cannot be classed as a top striker as he has only done it for half a season too. Both him and Cisse need to carry it on for next season too.

And I think both Jelavic and Cisse will carry it on next season tbh.

by **Hero** Tue 19 Jun 2012, 4:21 pm

Personally I do think Cisse will maintain it Olly, he showed in Germany he was a top striker as well prior to his move.

That is why. VDV only came available on Monday didn't he?

VDV is incredibly highly rated.

https://www.606v2.com/t19338-best-attacking-midfielder-in-the-league-pick-3

Was rated the best AM in the old FL by pretty much the same core of managers as on here

Hero wrote:No idea tbh, on the old Furious League he was THE best AM in the league without a shadow of a doubt.

Well I wasn't in the old Furious League so I don't know what happened there. All I know is that nobody picked him in there original teams (I don't think), so obviously that high rating wasn't translated into this league. He is a very good player, probably the best Dutch one on the pitch v Portugal (although it didn't take a lot Laugh

)

by TwisT Tue 19 Jun 2012, 4:25 pm

Playing with idea of buying Alex Song back from Laywers.....

Play 3-1-3-2-1 and steam roll people through the middle Laugh

So something like:

-------------------------------Given-----------------------------------
--------------Huth-------------Cahill----------Shawcross--------------
-------------------------------M'Vila------------------------------------
-------------Marchisio---------Song-------------Vidal-------------------
------Reus---------------------------------------------Schurrle---------
-------------------------------Giroud-----------------------------------

Who needs width???? Laugh

You will probably both be right, but they have to prove it IMO. That list includes many names that showed the same promise as Jelavic and Cisse, but then in the second season, they flopped.

Look at Ba, last December on here, he was one of the most sought after and had done similar to Cisse (he had also done it in Germany too incidentally). Now noone wants to know him as he stopped scoring and is off to Turkey.

Well it's a risk I am prepared to take, plus I only signed VDV cos Marky said too!! I wish I would think before making rash signings picard

you lost a lot there olly mate VDV an dBa followed by 5m.

The problem I had with VDV is that it is very difficult to be flexible with him in these leagues. He has never been rated out wide. He is only ever rated when playing off of a striker, with two CMs behind him. Anything different is always marked down

I don't usually play with a CAM tbh. That's why I don't know why I signed him Headscratch

by Bull Tue 19 Jun 2012, 4:32 pm

yeah he was involved in anotehr deal so did not bother

by TwisT Tue 19 Jun 2012, 4:34 pm

Olly, I will give you your money back. He is perfect for my team

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue 19 Jun 2012, 4:35 pm

WHERE WAS THIS EARLIER TWIST??? Sad

by TwisT Tue 19 Jun 2012, 4:36 pm

Nevermind

You asked for M'Vila/Giroud. If you just needed the cash you should have said so Laugh

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue 19 Jun 2012, 4:38 pm

TwisT wrote:Nevermind

Well I wanted to do something like VDV for Giroud then get Cisse off Hero but my plan failed Sad

I really do need to stop doing deals so quickly picard

by **Afro** Tue 19 Jun 2012, 4:39 pm

Where's this love for Giroud come from? He's another one season wonder at the moment, with a lot to prove. Arsenal really need to sign Belhanda as he was the reason Giroud got so many goals.

by TwisT Tue 19 Jun 2012, 4:39 pm

Yeah Olly, you do. Feel sorry for you mate, but you have been done there

Viva told me off for doing something along those lines on the homepage Laugh

by **Afro** Tue 19 Jun 2012, 4:41 pm

Sorry

by TwisT Tue 19 Jun 2012, 4:42 pm

Nah no matter. Each to their own

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue 19 Jun 2012, 4:46 pm

TwisT just for the record did you think M'Vila/Giroud meant I wanted both of them? I wanted one or the other!!

Would you have done VDV = Giroud?

by TwisT Tue 19 Jun 2012, 4:49 pm

No mate, because that would leave me with no recognised CF

Now that I have Marchisio and Vidal, I suppose I could have played:

-----------------Marchisio-------------Vidal-------------------
------Reus------------------VDV------------------Schurrle-----
----------------------------Giroud-----------------------------

So M'Vila for VDV would have been on

by The Special Juan Tue 19 Jun 2012, 5:06 pm

Spoiler:

by TwisT Tue 19 Jun 2012, 5:09 pm

Well not unless you are Afro.........

by Trebs Tue 19 Jun 2012, 5:11 pm

Apparently Marchisio and Vidal aren't very good as a CM pairing and there should be a third man in there Laugh

Twist, just warning you what I was criticized for, as I played a similar system.

by The Special Juan Tue 19 Jun 2012, 5:12 pm

(Afro I'm joking, do what you want)

by The Special Juan Tue 19 Jun 2012, 5:13 pm

Anyway, I'm here temporarily. The game's on BBC channels or ITV channels tonight?

They need a sitting CDM, which allows them to go forward. On the flip side, using my team as an example, a midfield 3 of M'Vila, Marchisio and Vidal lacks creativity BUT does have brute strength and stamina.

Swings and roundabouts mate

ITV.

England v Ukraine on ITV1 and France v Sweden ITV4.

by **Hero** Tue 19 Jun 2012, 5:18 pm

Oh great, it's advert central.

by TwisT Tue 19 Jun 2012, 5:20 pm

Ok I am going to come right out with it because I have been oohing and ahhing over it all day.

Terry...TP for 21m....to pair with Cahill. Good or bad?

I am really in two minds. His rating isn't that good on here is it.

by Trebs Tue 19 Jun 2012, 5:21 pm

I prefer the ITV coverage to the BBC one actually, at least they have proper commentators and not the likes of Mark Bright and Mick McCarthy, who may know about the game but aren't commentators. Give me Tyldesley, Beglin, Townsend etc. anyday.

by The Special Juan Tue 19 Jun 2012, 5:22 pm

Cheers Marky.

I would go for it personally. He may be scum central but he can still defend and command well whatever anyone else says.

by Marky Tue 19 Jun 2012, 5:24 pm

If I get up for a beer on every ad break, i'll be wasted!

On his day he can be good. But he is the wrong side on 30, extremely slow (as shown against Sweden) and I think £21 million is a heck of a lot for him

by TwisT Tue 19 Jun 2012, 5:25 pm

That's the thing..."scum central". I can just see it now in reasons......

"Terry fell on his backside trying to run backwards and the CF scored" x 7

by The Special Juan Tue 19 Jun 2012, 5:26 pm

You might get birch slapped by any CF with pace though Twist. Barca don't have a defence and get on fine, there's your inspiration.

by Marky Tue 19 Jun 2012, 5:27 pm

I rate John Terry as a CB and as a captain, which should be all that matters.

I'd have signed him earlier, but I feel £21M is very steep, for reasons Olly stated.

by **Hero** Tue 19 Jun 2012, 5:27 pm

Just play deeper and time tackles.

Doesn't work. I tried that against Soldado when I played Marky and still lost.

Haha so why don't I just have shawcross and huth and spend my money on another striker?!

Probably due to Soldado staying away from the defenders and you telling them to drop deep Whistle

Van Der Vaart is ideal in a 4-2-3-1, but if you want to play a different system he doesn't fit. Same with Gotze (hence I didn't snap Hero's hand off earlier). Got to have some backup plans and versatile players. Which doesn't explain why I signed Ganso Laugh

To be fair I don't play 4-2-3-1, so I don't know why I signed him Laugh

In fact he couldn't be further from what I need, I am full of CM's. Marky why did you have to send me that PM suggesting I should sign him. Damn you.

by TwisT Tue 19 Jun 2012, 5:39 pm

Made you two offers in regard to VDV Hero.

Just realised I have Fan's old CDM partnership..Vidal and M'Vila. He used to drool over those two

by Marky Tue 19 Jun 2012, 5:40 pm

Because you were trying to sign Premier League midfielders?
