  1. Garde has previous with Remy so that might help, and he could get goals for us which would help with the Euro's. Just think how many chances we fluffed against West Ham that he could have put away.
  2. How has Christmas treated your league? There has been a big shift in mine with the bottom team picking up their first two wins and are nearly off the foot of the table (hope for Villa yet?) and the top team picking up back to back losses (assuming Coutinho doesn't score 50+ points tonight).
  3. As most of our summer signings were from smaller teams in less respected leagues we should have had a decent amount of negotiating strength with the players/agents. They would have had decent pay rises in joining us and whilst release fees are probably in place they shouldnt be ridiculously low and we should hopefully recoup what we spent.
  4. I'm not sure which top ten side would want him. I get the feeling he would want to be the main striker not a back up, which rules out the Arsenal, City, Utd, Chelsea, Liverpool and Everton. I don't think he would fit into the style of play that Hughes is developing at Stoke. Possibly go to Palace but Wickham is starting to do very well.
  5. I refuse to deal with agents whenever possible and then tell the player that you will accept a bid for them if it matches your valuation which the player is happy with. I then stick thier valuation at a crazy high amount and it usually scares the other team away, you do risk them bidding a low amount that the player will decide is high enough but it works for me more often than not. Set your LOD as high as possible as well as it helps stop them whinging over trivial matters.
  6. (Slightly old news) Apparently we watched Leeds play Wolves just before Christmas and were scouting Sam Byram and Benik Afobe. I wouldn't be surprised if this is the type of player we go for. Young players doing well in the Championship at clubs unlikely to get promoted this year who could take a step up. Hopefully hit the ground running and keep us up but who could also help us come back up.
  7. He could become a very good attacking rightback but still solid defensively.
  8. Doubt he will go for less than £5m as Leeds have high hopes for him.
  9. We had this issue under MON. John Terry was commenting on it when they spanked us.
  10. I doing by that even Villa would put a relegation release clause in a contract for less then we paid for them.
  11. Klopp was scouting Benteke when he was at Liverpool and he is getting game time, not 90 mins every game but a decent amount compared to the other Liverpool forwards. I would love for him to come back but it is not going to happen. Liverpool would not release him and I doubt he would come back so soon even if they did, it would admit leaving was a mistake.
  12. I'm hoping we go for Loris Karius of Mainz, we were linked med to him a few months ago. Very highly rated young keeper and seen as the second best gk in Germany after Neuer.
  13. You would think they would also be trying a bit harder not to get relegated in the first place.
  14. I think Garde is doing th best he can with the players currently available and we would all agree that this could be better. Once January has gone and we have hopefully improved in a few positions it will be a lot fairer to judge him on match day selections. He has also had a horrible opening run of fixtures and I doubt any manager would have picked up a huge amount of points. January will be key.
  15. I could be tempted to give it a go, I'm getting a tad bored by the PL one. Let me know if you set up a league.
  16. Going forward he is not great but we have a hole on our left side defensively that he will shore up and we will hopefully have a more solid base to attack from. What is great is that I suspect we will have limited resources available to improve the squad in January and bringing him back leaves this free to improve the squad elsewhere.
  17. If Crystal Palace sells it will be a good thing. There used to be a takeover of a top flight club multiple times a season, but there has not been one for a few years now. There has been a lot of uncertainty put into takeovers due to the new financial restrictions and the increased TV revenue but as soon as one club sells there should be a domino effect and several more go (us, Newcastle, Everton etc) as there will be a new blueprint for how they should be structured.
  18. Cissokho back is great news. Helps sure up the defence, and means we don't have to spend money or a loan spot on the left back position that could be better utilised in other areas of the pitch.
  19. Chelsea players might become more valuable now that Jose has gone. They have to start performing some time.
  20. Just had a player score and then been forced off the pitch with injury before kick off. Guess he got over excited in the celebration.
  21. Drafting before the season begins should be good. Doing it before the transfer window ends will also increase waivers and trades.
  22. Missing the draft might of been a blessing in disguise then.
  23. You declare interest in a player, they respond saying love to join and then the agent refuses to talk to you as you are on thier dislike list.
