I haven't been overly convinced by Zouma this year tbh Miky looks like he has a mistake or 2 in him

In terms of form Zouma > Stones this season.

Although Stones is better on ability IMO.

I know this is said quite a bit but I will anyways, he's young
And I think he will have a great career especially as he has speed on his side and he's not bad on the ball. He's good in the air too.

Cahill is crud now, he's been exposed for the same Bolton player he always was. Colour of the shirt, and Terry's ability, hid it for so long. Zouma is twice the player.

Im aware his young kinda reminds of Kolo Toure at the moment, It's just a matter of clearing the errors out if possible.

Also Marky you might want to restart the Star Player Bidding

Why restart? Lol.

I get what you are saying Nando but I just think he is in the right place to develop and will only get better.

Stones has been a liability at times this year.

All part of learning though I guess.

He's not going to be with us all that long now I suspect.

With Terry leaving im not convinced he will develop as much as he needs to

TM have updated PL prices

If i have to pay the updated price id rather re-bid ta

Ugh. Bang goes all of my planning to date.

Chelsea would be nuts to let Terry leave.

However much I dislike the man, and however much his ability drops, he is Chelsea's leader and people follow him. They can't replace that easily.

I'd be making a job for him, just to keep him around.

I think we'd have to go with the current updated prices tbh.

Bigger budgets as a consequence.

It'd be fine if everyone had got their teams in etc but it's halfway through a round and some haven't even got their initial bids in.

Those bumholes at TM!!! I've literally just gone through and put together a list, then look on here, click the homepage and find out 3/4 of them have changed

#blametrebs

Alternatively if he buys a player from the PL you could just give him them at the old price which would be easier to find.

* If bought outside PL find an average price between lowest person gone up & highest and give them a refund of that.

Yeah a fair number of mine have rocketed, we're all in the same boat though I imagine (apart from Nadz whose team will probably have decreased as they approach their 50th birthday).

I haven't even looked yet so #winning

Olly what are you having for kunch?

His sister's beef cheeks

I'm feasting on grapes at the moment - grapes and brushing up on the latest happenings in the football league ahead of trebs's podcast tonight

Yourself?

When you speak to Trebs tell him to get his bid in

Corned beef and cucumber sandwich, as per usual.

im going to have jam & cheese

#SurprisinglyTasty

I've had a healthy raspberry milkshake and red grapes.

Pie and mash 

#winningg

I'm on the Atkins diet so I've had chicken mainly.

There will be less OAP hunting this season for me. Saw a couple of fresh young uns with bags of potential that I'm eyeing up.

I miss my Arsenal team, I was proud of that.

My apprentice has just eaten a banana

Trying my best not to get aroused

An Ollrentice you say. I hope to God it's a bird Olly, otherwise I won't be coming to your birthday party sleepover again.

Just think of the cannibals from "The Hills Have Eyes" and you'll be fine olly

Of course it's a bird I was in charge of the recruitment

18 year old, and smoking hot (way outta my league which seemed a good idea at the time, but if I'm gonna seduce my co workers they need to be on my level)

So she's hot and retarded? Nice.

My entire squad would cost me £26m more than I was originally spending due to the TM increases!

Its always those types that will do all sorts in bed! Ask her if she's heard of a Golden Shower before.

I had a Chinese from a place called Golden Shower once. The egg fried rice was a touch yellow but tasted good.

Typical of the United fan to hold everyone else up. Trebs is probably laughing at us right now.

I can't tell if you are serious or joking Azzy.

I've already messaged him on FB to hurry up.

I am never serious. Ask my guys here, they have to fake laugh at my bad jokes all day.

Saw your post about Vardy on the old transfer page azzy. This is a deal I did about a month ago over on ja.

Javi Martinez, Kovacic, Vardy, Javier Hernandez to me
for
Varane, Pirlo, Gylfie, Defoe, Afobe to the other guy

I AM THE REAL TRANSFERS DON!!!

No to this BTW, not everyone has gone up.

Only I would have done that deal, surely. I love me some oldies.

No-one I had on my list of 60 or so has gone down, 44 went up. I'll be doing a Newcastle and signing Ligue 1 players.

Regarding the TM increase, almost everyone who bid on PL players had already bid enough so that the increase didn't affect anything.

The only person who needs to increase their bid to meet the minimum TM value of the player is Nando. Or he can change his bid.

#prayfornando

I've bidded three times my star players TM value.

You did, but now you've just bid a bit higher than his value!

Dele Alli .....

Trebs come on mate!!

As long as I get him I'll be happy. Hottest midfielder in the world right now.
