Euro Division Homepage LXXV

Its going to interesting this week, with cherries doing them.

Does anyone have any Bournemouth players?

Missing FL and Soddys unless Cherries has them

Still need tactics from

Sodhat
Football light

Soon as poss guys,

Sodhat has broken his face doubt he'll get them in

They play each other anyway

What does a broken nose have to do with typing for 5 minutes

Well you're free to vote on the 4 games Cherries. Don't know what people want to do about postponements etc.

I've drawn lawyers and injuries, can someone do mine?

I think I've worked out what I'd like to do with postponements.

I won't organize them, the two managers can organize it between themselves, and the manager originally down to vote on that game can do so at his leisure. Otherwise both will receive 0 points.

Seem reasonable?

Yeah I agree with that GSC

I'll draw your injuries and lawyers soon.

100% agreed. Not quite sure why FL hasn't bothered, on ja606 he was quite the stickler for tactics being done on time   

Tactics will be in later today

Just back at work and have other stuff to do first. Would have done them yesterday but I was at the hospital for 8 hours.

Well they don't get their £1m for starters, and no points for either seems fair to me

No worries Soddy, hope you're feeling better.

Did your friend the Hospital Warden let you in after hours?

I know it's not the allocated day, but does anyone want to play Sheep today?

Thanks GSC, it's not been my favourite week ever. Hate to moan about the NHS but they have been a bit crap for me this time. They still haven't put my nose back straight and their co-ordination between hospitals was so bad that I've had more x-rays than Evel Knievel.

I can play after 11 Trebs. Always up for Sheep/Mafia.

I would also play Sheep.

European teams really havent done that well this WC it seems.

Okay, some sheep questions then:

1. Which European team will get the furthest in the world cup?
2. Which player will transfer for the highest fee in this window?
3. Name a comedy series currently running on TV.
4. Name a film coming out later this year.
5. Who will finish the highest in the Grand Prix this weekend, discounting the Mercedes drivers?
6. Who will win the men's Wimbledon this year?
7. Who will win the women's Wimbledon this year?
8. Who is the best player in the league at the moment?
9. Name a US University other than Harvard.
10. Which is best: Sheep, Mafia or the Apprentice?

Answers to me.

They all seem to have a distinct lack of pace. All the South American sides have had it in spades, Costa Rica have it, Algeria had it, Nigeria had it. Although France and Germany have reached the QFs, and one is guaranteed a SF, neither has looked sharp. Only Holland have looked pacy and threatening, and they were extremely lucky to get past Mehico.

People laughed when I drew Columbia in the sweepstake.

WHO'S LAUGHING NOW?

I would be if my face didn't hurt when I do.

Brazil going to do it for Verona's bank manager

When Miky asked his question a week or so ago on which young player in the world would you want playing for your team, I think I was the only one who said James Rodriguez.

Wonder how many would say him now?

Viva must be ecstatic after I gave him Costa Rica.

Received answers from Sodhat, GSC, Viva, TheSecondComing. Probably do the results around 12.30.

Lallana to Liverpool for 25m

Who says English players are overpriced?

Bit of a vanity purchase tbh. Hes not better than the players they have already, and 25m is steep for depth.

25m is insane.

I'd balk at that on football manager let alone in reality.

All good players are expensive now though, prices are going up with more players than ever worth £25m compared to in Beckham's era.

Having said that, I'm not sure how Lallana will fit into Liverpool's system, I am a fan but I can't see a line-up with him in it.

Assuming they retain the diamond.

Is how I'd have it.

Also, remember it is largely without Suarez, especially when he buggers off to Barcelona.


That AM three can all play anywhere across the park, so gives them a real fluid attack

No love for Pepe Reina here

There you go, that's 3 possiblilities. Looks like he gives them plenty of options on reflection

I think Afro is right, they may be planning for life without Suarez and if so I'd do the same as him. Although I'd have La-llama out wide and Sterling through the middle. He's money through there.

Someone's been watching too many episodes of Storage Hunters.

Who do you think goes where in the window?

Real seem set for Kroos and Falcao. Suarez to Barca seems likely.

Think Arsenal will do another Ozil and fund some more La Liga moves for their rivals best players in Sanchez.

United will sign the entire Dutch side.

Chelsea still need another striker.

10 minute alert on lawyers btw

Hazard to PSG?

I'd be beyond surprised if Chelsea sold Hazard.

It is very unlikely, I agree, but they might not have a choice if PSG were to come in with a big offer with FFP and all that.  I think Hazard would move but as you say, Chelsea wouldn't be very happy at all.

FFP isn't an issue anymore after they solid Luiz for 40/50m tho

Michael Laudrup takes over a Qatari side. What an odd career choice.

So they did I'm out of the loop at the moment!! Vidal to Chelsea?

Lawyers/Injuries up.

I thought Chelsea would go for Pogba tbh. He just fits Mourinho, especially alongside Cesc.

How do United set up with Rooney playing upfront with RVP and Mata playing in the hole?
