Top Scorers

Nadz I've progressed now!

I play sexy football, where only one guys scores all my goals

Yes, let's discuss that shall we Hero? What was it, 6-0 after 35mins?

Afro, how the little one getting on now?

Thoughts on some of the things said:
Mario Gomez for me is possibly the best finisher in the world. Cannot see how he's over-rated, one of my favourite players. And Blaszczkowski was under-rated, now he's a bit over-rated. He's a decent player but he's not top class.

Wilfried Zaha is a good prospect, but he's impossible to judge on here because we've never seen him play anything higher than Championship level (and I don't watch Championship football ) so I don't think you can call him useless, however he's not someone you'd rate high enough to give a team a victory

I've seen Gomez miss way too many chances.

Last season Gomez was in incredible form and would have been sought after by any club in Europe.

This season he has not had a look in, but despite that, his goals record is still impressive.

His TM value overrates him massively mind.

When you consider he's had more goals than starts this season, both domestically and in Europe, that's pretty good. And I'd happily pay £31m for him if the TP limit was that high.

Looking at who's survived from the squad I re-inherited.

Palop, Suarez, Vertonghen, Niang and Flamini are the 5 left standing I think

Are they the players you want shot of?

Flaminis def an end of season lawyer. #spoileralert.

Palops useful because hes Spanish. Suarez is my 2nd Spaniard in the team. Niangs U21. Tongs is a tank

Begovic, Matheiu, Gnabry and Parker remain for me

Two U21s who have little value, a decent goalkeeper and a left back I bought in the draft

You didn't keep Hitzlsperger?

My best transfer was probably Rio for 3.1m

Worst was probably giving you Bender and Jags for Strootman and Puyol.

Must've been high that day. Turned Strootman into Carrick to salvage it somewhat.

For some reason I decided against it

And yeah Bender/Jags was a great coup, sold Jags a couple of days later for just over £11m too

I think I went through 2 weeks where I just accepted everything that looked ok to my drug addled mind

At least the Alba deal was ok.

Still, I don't think CF paying 5m for Hitzlsperger will ever be topped.

'How much do you want for Hitzlsperger?'

'I have a lawyer of about 1.5m'

'5m?'

West ham agree 15m for Carroll, now he needs to decide whether he wants to leave.

Come on Big Andy, be smart lad...

West Ham have a friendly against Great Ormond Street Hospital on Friday.

I hope they go easy on them, those kids are already a bit under the weather.

They can't go easy on them. How often will they get to beat West Ham?

ouch, you turned that one around nastily

i can't wait for a kid with one leg to skin Joey O Brien on the outside

Joey O Brien is a tank on Fifa got outpaced by him online vs Ben Arfa/Gouffran/Sissoko who all got pace in the 80's

his forehead gives him a head start of about 40 yards

I've rarely seen a footballer and though "how did they make it, seriously"

but he is one.

I think that about most Norwich players

i always think that about Squillaci who im delighted to say is a free agent now

Spoiler:

If you have not seen that masterpiece (youtube vid btw), then you have not lived. Sheer brilliance

Reminds me of a Dave Spikey joke, about being asked to participate in a half marathon for disabled children, "Frak it, I could win that".

morning, will have to get tactics in today so get offers in soon as want a pretty new look for next season

certain players wont be leaving tho

Morning

Morning.

well am gonna have to get tactics in soon so any bid for players must be in before ten if you want any of my p,layers

Benteke to make it easier is NOT for sale

Morning

Morning!

The Moose had some crazy stats this morning - since Arsenal last won a trophy, all 91 other league clubs have changed their manager, and since Wenger was appointed in 1996, those 91 clubs have had 838 managers

Around 800 or so at Forest

a bit behind really, I knew that about a week ago

Fan the man!
Who's been your best buy of the Premier League season then?

here or the actual pl lol

doesnt really matter, Benteke will still be the answer

Actual PL Fan

well Benteke for less than £8m was a snip tbf

Coutinho was a good buy for Liverpool
Van Persie
Michu

RVP was a great buy but for that price, he did what he was bought to do.

Id have to go with Michu or Bentekkers. Hard to pick, both have contributed a lot for their clubs, Michu being cheaper may edge it for me.

Whos your Flop of the season Fan?

Benteke kept Villa up with all his goals, would Bent have scored as many? I doubt it

Flops - Any of the Newcastle French lads, came with good reputations but failed to deliver, maybe now they have stayed up and had a season behind them it might be different next season

Benteke kept Villa up with all his goals

Thats what make it a bit tricky for me to call. Michu did help his team to silverware as well as good top 10 finish.

Sissoko at Newcastle did ok I though, but yes a lot of them flopped.
Granero was a huge flop for me, he came with a reputation (deserved or not he had one) and did not live up to it in the slightest.
Javi Garcia was a big flop too, had mostly decent to horrendous matches.
Junior Hoilett, looked like he could have a bright future last season, I expected more from him & saw nothing this season.

Gotto laugh at Yun Suk-Young, transfered to QPR in Jan & never made an appearance.

QPR tried to buy PL safety, am glad it didnt work and they were relegated, gonna go the smae way as Leeds/Portsmouth hopefully

deserve everything they get

At least Reading showed confidence in the players that brought them up with a couple of decent buys, just not good enough..

Norwcih/Swansea real success stories, kept the nucleus of there team through out and have done very well

Garcia was crap

Vitor Pereira backed in as the new favorite to the Everton job. Making a few hundred quid if that comes off

What odds you get GSC?

20/1

I Like! #BoratVoice

Apparently Martin O'Neill is out at 16/1 to be the next Stoke manager, that's way too high considering it seems a perfect fit.

tactics in as am off rest of week
