Well that taught me.

Made my transfers, only for two players to get injured and one suspended.

Long story short, ended up making 4 transfers this week....

I transferred Fletcher and Suarez out this week, who both scored, for Ba and Defoe, who did not.

I knew it was a gamble but it really went a lot worse than I had anticipated.

Never mind the manager, when in doubt kick out the players who aren't pulling their weight. Cut out the deadwood, I say! Here's my latest pathetic attempt to get this team firing...

OUT Tim Krul. Hasn't kept a clean sheet for me in ages. Not looking likely to either. Vorm will be my main goalie, so a cheap'n'cheerful sub is Rudd from Reading I think. No idea, but he was less than four million. Probably never use him.

OUT Johnson. Andy, Glen? Don't ask me. I think he was a sub anyway. Fecker did nothing for me. In with Mata, cue a broken leg for the guy...

OUT Kevin Nolan and your bloody chicken goal celebration! In with Theo Walcott, come on ye gunners!

OUT YaYa Toure. He's been on the fringes, got the odd goal but I hope his replacement, Arteta, will do the business for me in January.

OUT with Fellaini, the little suspended thug. In with Robson-Kanu. Hey, he was cheap...

Finally my patience has worn down to nothing. OUT with Benteke: he can score, but only if he gets within sight of the opposition net, which he hasn't done for three weeks now. In with Sammy Ameobi, who at least has a decent chance of scoring, or even assisting.

Why do I even bother I ask myself? Well, tomorrow we'll know if this has made any difference at all (not bloody likely!)

Now watch all the replaced players score!

Ha, I've had a bit of an overhaul aswell.

Out yaya toure, another reason being the africa cup coming up, in with walcott, because sometimes a bandwagon can go places.

Out with tevez, I don't like not knowing if he'll be played or not, in with lambert frees up some money....

Out with sterling, just too average, in with fellaini. Thug or not my fantasy team has no morals and he better deliver.

Out with persie! Risky move..but I think ba is a suitable replacement, and frees up more cash.

Out anonymous sub I had, in agger. Got to keep to the 2 liverpool player quota afterall, and agger is in form.

In classic fickle fandom I return when....Top of the league, duh duh duh duh duh!...being completely carried by Van Persie, Suarez, Bale and Michu but what are you gunna do

Mojo · 02-23-2013, 06:04 AM

Finally got round to putting Lukaku in today, just before WBA play us. I don't know how I feel about that.

You feel good right? Finally above your lot again

Meh, it had to be done. I'd made transfers in weeks previously so that I could bring him in. He was far too good for our defence, made an absolute mockery of our back line, which was poor to begin with.

Newkie · 02-24-2013, 04:27 PM

Nothing to be ashamed of though, he's a monster, and only 19...so depressing.

All hail me.
