Saint Garrett

Can’t agree, as if we’d have sold Cedric, we’d still need to buy a RB which would probably cost a similar amount to what we’d bring in, squad spades and wages are the bigger problem, and not being able to get any money for Carrillo Boufal Clasie and Forster...

Good player, absolutely no chance we'd sell for £10m. Start at £30m + addons. Hope he nails down a starting place this season.

I'd take anyone right now, desperate times.

I'd take him! And Perez from Arsenal who is apparently available for £5m.

Does the champshionship window also close on Friday? i.e. Gallagher, Reed, Hesketh could all go on loan somewhere else.

Had McCarthy, Vestergaard and Targett all in before, however just taken 2 of them out after Saturday's abysmal defensive display...! Too much of a gamble not having Salah i feel... McCarthy (Sot) Pickford (Eve) Tarkowski (Bur) Alexander Arnold (Liv) Dunk (Bri) Zanka (Hud) Pereira (Lei) Salah (Liv Fraser (Bou) Anderson (Whu) Mkhitaryan (Ars) Milivojevic (Cry) Zaha (Cry) Firmino (Liv) Aubameyang (Ars) Will have probably lost interest in a months time...!

Rondon and Mitrovic were both available this summer, we showed no interest in either...!

What rumours? Only thing I have seen is people wondering where he is as wasn't involved at the weekend and hasn't been in training. Haven't actually been any rumours of him leaving.

Yup - I'd actually be tempted to give Prowsey a go in the middle, the other three look largely out of form, Lemina just CBA. Just going from Pre-season though I can't see that happening. Will be interesting to see what happens with the RWB situation while Cedric is awol.

SO no rumours then really...going to be a long season if we don't bring anyone else in...

3-5-2 McCarthy Yoshida Vestgaard Bertrand Cedric Romeu Hoijberg Targett Armstrong Elyounoussi Gabbiadini 4-3-3 McCarthy Cedric Yoshida Vestergaard Bertrand Romeu Hojbjerg Armstrong Elyounoussi Redmond Gabbiadini

Don't think his missus has given birth yet.

Hughes will go with.... McCarthy, ; Targett Yoshida Vestergaard Hoedt Bertrand; Romeu Hojbjerg Armstrong Gabbiadini Austin (Hopefully!!! No Lemina (lazy cnt), obviously Cedric if not AWOL! Ideally not Austin but he’s **** but no one else. Possibly Elyounoussi in behind Gabbi? Please be better than the waste of an afternoon yesterday...I’m going to be horribly hungover

Armstrong is tempting at 5.5 League ID is 795155-177326 by the way. http://fantasy.premierleague.com

1. Can't see him coming to us, 2. Cant see Palace selling Zaha. 3. If they do it'll be for £60m +

Don't know much about Meyer, but Ayew is sh!te and always gets relegated, and Kouyate is a pretty awful CM.

Hope the same, but wouldn't be surprised if Yoshida starts on the bench, as we have Hoedt, Bednarek & Vestergaard who have to be more likely to start. Because we only have 1 right back, Cedric should have been back sooner IMO and should have been fine for Saturday, whether he is or not I don't know...

Old news now though, football salary’s / fees have changed massively in the last 2 years. Bompey able to pay Defoe £150k a week ffs

News to me? Highest earner is on £80k last I heard Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

In transfer fees...ffs

SO minus the TV money they've spent nothing...

This whole money argument in this thread is ridiculous, and completely ignores the fact that we get a load of TV money every season. Pretty much all other teams apart from Newcastle have a net outflow on transfers, we shouldn't need to be sustainable from a transfer in/out perspective. If we had sold no-one I'd still expect us to spend £30/£40m - that's just the way football is these days.

We've had this problem for the last few years...mental that it wasn't the first issue we fixed this summer...at the end of the day, we still haven't replaced Pelle & Mane and we won't score a decent amount of goals until we improve our striking options.

Still don't think he'd suddenly be able to command his area, but he might have one of those games where he just gets in the way of everything. He isn't as bad as some make out, but his lack of confidence and the fact he doesn't command his area is a problem. We have better in McCarthy but he wouldn't be the worst signing in the world for Burnley given their situation. He might even just need a fresh start.
