It's a moneygame now. it really is. How can we compete with Chelsea or ManCity when all we can afford is merely a combined 260 M on this squad (staring IX is 220M).

 

3-4-3:

 

Goal: Mignolet (10 M)

Defenders: Moreneo (12M) - Lovren (20M) - Sakho (15M)

Midfield: Downing (20M) - Allen (15M) - Lallana (25M) - Markovich (20M)

Frontmen: Benteke (32M) - Balotelli (16M) - Carroll (35M)

 

Subs: Ward (0,2M) - Illori (7M) - Coates (7M) - Alberto (8M) - Adam (7M) - Borini (11M)

I remember pundits soberly debating the trajectory of his leg and where your balance gets applied as a reflex while falling and all sorts of shite when that happened.

Usually that's the English defence.

 

Looks like Arthur Pennywhistle has gone into that sliding tackle with studs raised Danny Murphy.

 

Not for me Gary. Arthur isn't that kind of player. It looks worse than it is but as any footballer knows, sometimes with the best will in the world you are occasionally going to tear through both soft and hard human tissue.

This starting IX would cost exactly the same btw:

 

Ward (0,2M)

Suarez (22M) - Suarez (22M) - Suarez (22M) 

Suarez (22M) - Suarez (22M) - Suarez (22M)  -Suarez (22M) 

Suarez (22M) - Suarez (22M) - Suarez (22M)

 

Imagine the work rate, will to win & goals from that team. And the nutmegs, everywhere. We'd probably only need a squad of 13 or 14 to cover suspensions. No injuries there.

I was excited when we signed him but Fanchester warned he's only bearable when he's somebody else's problem and he was exactly right.

Absolute joker. We can only pray some team in China is daft enough to give us 30 million for him. Actually double that.

Fingers crossed that's the way it will play out. He's still a big enough name that the Chinese may just want him - and he'll be tempted by the dosh on offer.

No injuries except the ones caused by running out of opponents to bite so they would probably start biting each other.
