  1. Normally, I like to remain level-headed and analytical in my posts, but seeing as it's Spuds: Let's smash these cunts!
  2. Sorry to see that Artinho is going. A top lad and true asset to the forum. He showed maturity that belied his years. I wish him all the best in his future endeavors and hope that returns to the forum some day.
  3. This is one of the reasons I love fantasy sports. At least it helps you in some way if the players/teams you don't like perform well. You generally win one way or the other.
  4. I agree to an extent. I think plastic is maybe a bit harsh. As Chelsea supporters in the "Roman Empire", many have been spoiled by seemingly endless outlays of cash for players over time. They expect change to come overnight. I'll admit that I'm not pleased about having some glaring holes in our CM and being thin at striker, but overall it was quite a good window.
  5. I thought Swansea did quite well for themselves replacing the core players they had leave. Did it on a shoestring budget as well. Most impressive.
  6. Highly doubt that the Lloris deal collapses. He's at the Spuds ground as I type.
  7. I think Uncle Roman needs to celebrate his court victory with some lavish purchases for his team.
  8. Schurrle is a talent and all, but I'd rather have a true No. 9 type to provide depth up front.
  9. He also said he had the full backing of Roman to see out the "project" last season. Anywho, I think Remy would be a fine addition. Heaven knows we need the depth up front. Also, it would fuck with Spuds. Sounds like a win-win to me.
  10. Talk Sport also reported that we were going to pay £24m for Gregory Van der Wiel. Consider the source.
  11. So if I understand this correctly, Citeh gets £5m, but still has to pay the difference in wages, which knocks their net income on this deal down quite a bit. For that price or possibly even a little bit more I would have gladly taken Ade. I find it strange that Citeh didn't have any better destinations that were willing to pay more. But what really irks me, is that it's Spuds. They've managed to get an extremely good deal on a player.
  12. So I joined the league last week. Then I went to check my score and the league was not listed on my team page. I went to rejoin, and I got a message that on the fpl page that said "you are banned from this league". Would anyone care to explain why I'm apparently banned? Edit: I just read Steve's post from last week. I was unaware I had to state my team name on this forum. My team name is/was Deco & the Bunnymen.
  13. After reading the posts in this thread, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who hates Bitcharito with such a passion. And oh yeah, I don't want the lil tosser at our club.
  14. Most of the reports I've read have been the same.
  15. Danny certainly is an extremely talented player. However, he is seriously lacking in the decision-making department. Hopefully, he can maintain some patience with being a part time player while he develops this crucial part of his game. It would benefit not only him, but the club as well. Unfortunately, I do see a petulant streak in him, and he might want to move on. Even worse, the word around the campfire is that some of our most hated rivals, Spuds and the Scousers to be precise, are starting to circle.
  16. Wow, normally you don't see these type of threads until the leaves start changing. Anyway, I wouldn't say we're overated. It's early days yet. It is absolutely vital that we add some steel to our midfield, an alternative to Brana and Paolo "Pai Tempo" Ferreira at RB, and perhaps a Striker to provide some insurance for Nando.
  17. Deluded comments about position, importance, and past accomplishments: He'll fit in very nicely at Spuds.
  18. http://www.emirates247.com/sports/football/barca-plan-to-destroy-chelsea-in-transfer-window-2012-07-11-1.466793 I've read some things from this site before, and they really seem like they are trying to supplant goal.com as one of the worst rumor sites.
  19. Can't really call him a traitor. He was sacked. He didn't leave of his own volition.
  20. I think you are really overestimating Spuds' budget.
  21. I'm beginning to think that Van Aanholt probably won't make it. He struggled to get any time on the pitch at Wigan, and his loan at Vitesse didn't go particularly well. Perhaps the club brass are thinking along the same lines.
  22. Drogba is definitely the exception, not the rule as far as the arc of a player abilities.
