Around SBN: Miami Meltdown: Tempers Flare As Pacers Hammer Heat

The Barn Door Live - Sunday Edition

Has too much jumping and celebrating early in the season led to fatigue in February? (Photo by Alex Livesey/Getty Images)

The first match today probably isn't going to have a ton of fantasy implication but we have to say that's not always a bad thing. We'll be here to chat if you just want to sit back and enjoy the match without having to count SOTs and CWs. We'll still be around to hang out and monitor our favorite Manchester City players as we see who will start at forward and whether David Silva can recover his form. The Spanish play-maker has been dipping in recent weeks and you have to wonder if he's tiring out after being one of the few ever-present players in City's line-up.

Interesting day yesterday.

Didn’t have to barndoor anyone because no one I wanted performed well enough to rise in price.

I want....

to gut my entire team after putting up just 34 points BEFORE Krul had 5 goals dropped on his head…ugh! 19.5 points with Kun & Bassong yet to play.

I agree David

I BD’d Rooney for RvP and brought in Beaujesour (sp?) as a potential replacement for Oxlade-Chamberlain as a cheap and productive midfielder but really not a lot of changes to my line-up. (I actually kept Ox for now but wanted to be thinking ahead on the assumption he gets dropped for Gervinho)

I agree

There should also be a specific stat for “Penalty Earned/Drawn” – if you look at what creates a penalty goal the drawing of the penalty is much harder than the taking of it.

From BBC:-

BREAKING NEWS
Liverpool striker Luis Suarez has apologised for not shaking Patrice Evra’s hand before Saturday’s game at Old Trafford. Suarez told the Liverpool website: “I have spoken with the Manager since the game at Old Trafford and I realise I got things wrong. I’ve not only let him down, but also the Club and what it stands for and I’m sorry. I made a mistake and I regret what happened. I should have shaken Patrice Evra’s hand before the game and I want to apologise for my actions. I would like to put this whole issue behind me and concentrate on playing football.”

If RVP were to go, what would his transfer price be?

by David Brian on Feb 12, 2012 6:32 AM PST reply actions  

wouldnt pay more than 30m for a 29yo with injury problems

by uncleemperor on Feb 12, 2012 6:33 AM PST up reply actions  

15 to 20 million pounds I'd guess

It would be more if he had longer to go on his contract but he’s out of contract at the end of 2012-2013. Same situation as Nasri was in last summer. The only reason it would be higher is if someone from Russia (or PSG) tried to tempt him to go somewhere that wasn’t a traditional power.

www.NeverManageAlone.com

by Neal Thurman on Feb 12, 2012 6:34 AM PST up reply actions  

mostly depends on whether RvP announces he wants to leave

if Arsenal have the leverage of him wanting to stay, the number would be much higher. If he starts to play the same games that Cesc (or Henry when he left for Barca) played Arsenal would have little choice but to sell for what would seem a low number.

More kudos from an alternative viewpoint

It’s been a down week for most, but I’ll go ahead and throw in a positive note by saying I’m standing at 79.5 points for the week with Kun and Bassong (God, I hope he at least repays his cost) left to go.
I had gotten up to 304 overall despite having missed the first week of play. (Now I’m at 399.) And I give all the credit to Nik — I’ve been following his tips the past year and a half. (No offense, Neal — that’s just the way I’ve been going since footy isn’t covered all that well here in the US.) Otherwise, I’d be a bit clueless.
So, just throwing in another plug for you NMA guys on a mostly downer week…

I particularly enjoyed this story

Lin was so impressive, he caught the eye of Ryan Wittman, son of Wizards head coach Randy. The younger Wittman — a former Cornell basketball player who played against Lin while the Knicks star was at Harvard — sent his dad a text after the game that probably didn’t cheer him up.

“He told me that they did a much better job guarding him [at Cornell] than we did tonight,” the elder Wittman said. “Makes Dad feel good.”

Yeah, you hit on another chord.

We have to assume according to tradition, that since Lin is not just white but Asian white, that he has had to have made it on spunk (oops… I mean the American version of spunk) and hard work and um… Brains, of course, rather than athletic ability.

by mojoworkin on Feb 12, 2012 6:56 AM PST up reply actions  

My sense on the "hope" comment...

…is that it will open the eyes of scouts and talent evaluators of all sorts to the potential of non-traditional looking players (in this case Asian-American) having a chance to be better than the stereotypes of that group. I’d also enjoy it if it started applying to Americans of all sorts playing soccer elsewhere in the world, etc.

I didn't know he had been California High School player of the year in his senior year

In most cases that would have meant being recruited to a big college basketball program but it seems likely that his ethnicity worked against him and he “ended up” at Harvard. Not a bad consolation prize I’ll admit but from a basketball standpoint a definite disadvantage

I'm not sold on Cisse at that price

He had one good match that required a strike from distance (not something that you can count on). He wasn’t impressive at all yesterday. Ba at least had a chance or two in an otherwise ugly match for NUFC.

I got rid of him for this week at a similar price figuring that vs Man United and then an off week PLUS Suarez being back made him a poor bet. I’d suggest you ditch him. Just hard to know what his starting status is.

Sorensen is an interesting option (home vs. Swansea)

Swansea are averaging less than one goal/match away from Wales and they’ve only scored one away goal against a good team (and they lost that one 4-1 to Chelsea).

Not guaranteeing anything but it sure looks promising. Their away goals have been against Rovers (2), WBA (2), Wolves (2), Villa (2), Norwich (1), and Chelsea (1). I see Stoke as better than most of those teams (except Chelsea of course).

Villa with 3 road clean sheets

Wigan have only been shut out 4 times but only one has been by a mid-table team (Fulham). Seems like a stretch based on how Villa are playing these days. Not a terrible risk but I like Sorensen more than Given on both price and likely output.

Here's a Dempsey-related question for you

If you were him, would you leave Fulham in the Summer for whichever club gets the 4th place spot (Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, or NUFC – although I’ll grant you Liverpool isn’t a good fit given their roster) to play a part-time role on a Champions League team or would you want to play more matches and stay just below the Champions League level?

Damn you, Neal.

Now you got me thinking. That’s a good question. I suspect my answer would depend on the lineup, as you point out with Liverpool. For instance, do you think NUFC would be a good fit given their roster?

No

He should ask his team mate Sidwell.

Do you think Sidwell regrets at least seeing if he could cut it on a Top 4 team?

Which City def to BD?

Lescott scored, but Kompany and Richards have higher potentials on average. I’m leaning Kompany because he’s guaranteed.

by The Relegated on Feb 12, 2012 9:31 AM PST via iPhone app reply actions  

I'd say Kompany

Thanks

Still it’s hard spending £10M on a def, but sometime u just gotta splurge.

by The Relegated on Feb 12, 2012 9:34 AM PST via iPhone app up reply actions  

If MC keeps the CS, BD Kompany just so you reserve the option.

Richards is not playing so probably no need to BD unless he comes on late and scores.

I am keeping he’s been scoring well I dropped Silva for him last week. I love Silva but everyone has him Tarrabt has similar if not greater scoring potential.

by scils8 on Feb 12, 2012 9:40 AM PST via Android app up reply actions  

In my mind, here's who he'd be fighting with for playing time

Arsenal – he’d be 2nd choice forward behind RvP and also taking the Arshavin (4th wide attacker) role.

Newcastle – he’d be 3rd in line behind Ba and Cisse at forward but ahead of Ameobi/Best/Lovenkrands and maybe in the mix as an attacking midfielder as well.

Chelsea – hard to know what’s going to happen with the CHE attackers but would be a great utility guy behind whichever super-expensive target man comes in and as a better version of Kalou.

Arsenal

Although like for like he is about the same as Arteta.

by Mike-LP on Feb 12, 2012 9:37 AM PST up reply actions  

How do you mean?

Skill level? Where he plays on the field? Arteta’s decision to stay at Everton vs. head to a Champions League team?

Position and age wise. There’s no need for Wenger to sign both.

Yeah, YaYa makes a real difference.

And teams do seem to just park the bus now, as AV have done today.

Here's Nasri for you

Sounds like he’s coming off a groin strain – maybe Mancini wanted to limited his minutes

he's definitely hard to like

I think you’d have to be either Dutch or a big City supporter to make him seem sympathetic

Another good chance for Villa on a corner

but can’t quite get it past Hart.

For those thinking about ditching Clark

Dunne’s shoulder looks like it might give Clark another chance at the line-up if he isn’t also hurt

Great point Neal. He hopefully will be back in the lineup in a couple of weeks.

by broharvey on Feb 12, 2012 9:55 AM PST up reply actions  

Not a lot

Manchester City CBs (Kompany and Lescott) are the only obvious choices. Hart’s price shouldn’t climb much. No one else from City were outstanding enough for their prices to rise. Zab and Kolarov aren’t guaranteed starters.

Bad week for points. A mere 43 this week but thankfully somehiw only dropped 18 points overall.
