As a Man United fan I always wanted to pick him in the past but could never rely on him starting. Hope the deal goes through love watching such a natural finisher.

Roberton to LFC confirmed. The end of Milner in the XI or will he be played elsewhere? Can't see it in the attack ahead of the main 4. Possibly CM alongside Henderson or am I clutching at straws here to keep him in my team?

Re: Summer transfers and FPL prospects
Leicester are surely going to have to sell a few strikers. Vardy, Okazaki, Musa, Slimani, and Ulloa and now Iheanacho. All that and no European games seems a bit much!From4corners wrote:Guess he'd be competing with Iheanacho, who seems to be destined for Leicester very soon.RuudTheDudeVanTheMan wrote:Chicarito to West Ham?

Liverpool buy a left back and sell 2 central midfielders in a week.

Re: Summer transfers and FPL prospects
Doesn't change things as far as I can see (and as far as any L'pool fan I've spoken to can see). Quite evident that Liverpool are intent on signing Keita which covers the gap left by Leiva, and Stewart's role at the club saw him play 20 games in his entire career at Anfield, and those were spread across covering different positions.murf wrote:Liverpool buy a left back and sell 2 central midfielders in a week.

Obviously Milner covers the midfield role and offers options for Klopp, but I'd say it's still clear that won't be his intended position unless injuries dictate the situation.
In any case, him in midfield makes him an even more attractive option for me...

Re: Summer transfers and FPL prospects
Not sure on that one. Trent Alexander-Armstrong seems an able deputy for Clyne. Not sure re Gomez' future but he is an option too. Flanagan too - til he is sold.Zimmerman wrote:I fancy Milner to get games at RB.
To be honest I expect Milner to start at LB with Robertson taking over 'at some stage' especially if we get midfield injuries meaning Milner moves in/up.
Last season I think Klopp wanted to play Milner somewhere, anywhere because he was too good and solid to leave out so why not LB?? With an improvement in squad quality (ahem, I hope, etc) then this no longer necessarily applies plus he is another year older.

Re: Summer transfers and FPL prospects
Danilo confirmed to City for 26m.
Along with Walker, Ederson, and with Mendy on the way too apparently, looks like pretty much a new defensive unit.
Pep will have a job settling them all down in just a couple of weeks, especially as it seems to me that he doesn't enjoy the defensive side of coaching!

Not only multiple options all over the pitch but you never know where a player will end up at any given time
There were times last season where the likes of Clichy were almost in the 10 role and Aguero was on the half way line!
puts me right off City players.

Mendy signs for City from Monaco. 1st choice left back.

Re: Summer transfers and FPL prospects
Crystal Palace signed 20 years old Dutch CB Jairo Riedewald from Ajax.
It doesn't seem like he was first choice last year however he started 11 league games and the Europa League finale. Maybe signed to play the as the left CB in a back 3 (he's left footed)?

Re: Summer transfers and FPL prospects
Hernandez signs for the Hammers. Huge signing for them.
I would have him in place of Gayle in my squad but he'll be around the 8m price similar to Defoe and Benteke I'd imagine.

Re: Summer transfers and FPL prospects
I'm guessing Hernandez at 7.5m.
Hoping to see Riedewald at 4.5m. Fully expecting that price as well.
If he keeps up impressing Clement, FPL may soon need to add in Kyle Bartley. A potential 4.0m option that could see more gametime than most of the others in that price range.

Re: Summer transfers and FPL prospects
Interesting transfer. He was first choice under De Boer when at Ajax, though when Bosz took over he ended up as a reserve. He played the Europa League Final because Viergever was suspended.asm_fanz wrote: Crystal Palace signed 20 years old Dutch CB Jairo Riedewald from Ajax.

If I had to guess, I'd say he won't come in as a first choice. Maybe later in the season... He does seem a player Palace miss at the back though. Great technical ability and vision, but lacks the physical aspect to be first choice in the Premier League (at the moment) I think.

Re: Southampton Midfielder
I wonder how Lemina fits into their line up. A box to box midfielder who does not score many goals. He probably strengthens their defence but he can apparently also play wing back. Sitting currently with Cedric and Ward Prowse in my team I'm a little concerned. Any Saints fans care to offer an opinion on who Lemina replaces?

Southampton have got a plethora of centre-mids now, Hojberg, Clasie, Davis now all unlikely to start once this guy slots into the team.

Gabbiadini
Tadic - JWP - Redmond
Lemina - Romeu
They usually go 4-2-3-1. Id say Cedric is almost nailed on to start. JwP could be a question mark if they want to get Boufal into the lineup, though based on preseason I think JWP starts and he's also got the potential to be handling corners and sharing free kick duty.
I currently own Cedric, Bertrand and JWP. I think all three will start at the weekend.

Re: Southampton Midfielder
I have JWP currently as fourth mid, and think he could be the best in that range as he has the combonation of fixtures and set pieces, but I'm worried about his game time.
Looks as though the new boy is more a holding mid so won't directly challenge him, but I had a scan of the SOuthamptoon forums and was surprised by how little a lot of their fans seem to rate JWP. Not that they pick the team, of course.
