The papers this morning seemed to suggest that Real slapped a £14M pricetag on Makelele, which should not really deter Chelsea. It also said that Makelele is being offered a far better contract, andis thus quite keen on the move.

I also think they'll add Vieri (Inter would be stupid to turn down a £25M+ offer for an injuryprone 30 yr old), so stick him instead of Gudjohnsen...

MikeH · August 6, 2003, 09:58

And there's Hasselbaink as well, Forsell just played really well and I've always been a big fan of his...

What a squad!

How mush is that guy willing to spend to win a title?

Shouldn't it be "how much to miserably fail at winning a title?"

notyoueither · August 7, 2003, 03:56

Hey, sometimes it works. Can you say Detroit?

FrustratedPoet · August 7, 2003, 04:42

Or Blackburn?

Judging from what the guy has said - "As much as it takes".

I feel confident in saying the Chelski won't win the league this year. Although if they end up second and spend another 50 or 60 million in the summer it's gonna be pretty hard to stop them next season.

MikeH · August 7, 2003, 05:42

Depends how quickly Ranieri gets them all playing together. They certainly have the squad. I think next year's more realisitic though, and only with some continuity between the years.

A "last-minute" entry by me here. Afros are in.

Last time I played, I kept an unchanged team till the end, and still didn't finish last. Let's hope I'll have at least equal success this time =)

Buck Birdseed · August 10, 2003, 13:52

I'm in too... My team is still wont to change as I start picking up the kind of "premiership preview" supplements that helped me gain early last season, but currently it comprises:

1: Wapenaar
2: Campbell
3: Mellberg
4: Zivkovic
5: Lazaridis
6: Geremi
7: Kewell
8: Jenas
9: Henry (C)
10: Todorov
11: Postiga

Subs: Walker, Flitcroft, Griffin, Svensson M

The season is on.

FrustratedPoet · August 20, 2003, 05:09

Like I said before: My Team > All Other Teams.

*smug*

MikeH · August 20, 2003, 05:38

This is the making money part of the season. Title will be decided in the last 10 games.

FrustratedPoet · August 20, 2003, 05:52

I know that, but I'm taking the oppotunity to gloat over everyone now because I had a lucky week to start with. I won't get another chance so I'm making the most of it now.

jdd leads after week 3. Roster changes for week 4 close in the wee hours of the 30th (in NA).

Oh, and I hate ManU!

jdd2007 · August 27, 2003, 21:34

The Noob from the States is damn surprised with his luck.

notyoueither · August 27, 2003, 21:40

Yes, but do you hate ManU?

I would never root for the Yankees of Football! Or ManU!

notyoueither · August 28, 2003, 00:39

They are dirty dogs, indeed. I had nothing against them before today.

MikeH · August 28, 2003, 04:01

From their point of view it worked out, they rested some players and still got 3 points.

Less than a transfer cost between third and eighth... it's very tight.

MikeH · August 28, 2003, 06:24

It is very tight indeed.

Drake Tungsten · August 28, 2003, 07:18

I'm in, albeit belatedly. Here's my side...

1 - Dudek (LI)
2 - Cole (AR)
3 - Sun (MC)
4 - Ferdinand (MU)
5 - Taricco (TH)
6 - Inamoto (FU)
7 - Gerrard (LI)
8 - Barton (MC)
9 - Giggs (MU)
10 - Henry-C (AR)
11 - Owen (LI)

Subs - Oakes (WW), Davies (MI), Newton (WW), Davies (BW)

Please keep the laughter to a minimum.

MikeH · August 28, 2003, 07:55

Seems like a pretty decent team to me.

Drake Tungsten · August 28, 2003, 07:59

Not if the Reds don't start scoring...

FrustratedPoet · September 1, 2003, 04:45

2 goals for Owen at the weekend and a clean sheet for Dudek. Drake's plan pays immediate dividends.

Drake Tungsten · September 1, 2003, 05:11

It's brilliant, isn't it?

notyoueither · September 1, 2003, 05:46

Screw you! Now I hate Liverpool too.

Drake Tungsten · September 1, 2003, 12:10

I just wish you weren't limited to three players from a team. I wanted to get Hyppia and Carragher as well, but couldn't due to the three player limit. Unfortunate, as they're the two highest scoring defensemen so far this season.
