SNSUN Posted 15 May, 2013 Posted 15 May, 2013 ... as knocked up by the Sun. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/4925923/Premier-League-Bargain-Team-of-the-Season-from-SunSport.html (Couldn't see this thread elsewhere...) Bargain team is: Jaaskeleinen (West Ham, Free) Riether (Fulham, Loan) Flores (Swansea, £2 million) Collins (West Ham, £2.5 million) Rose (Sunderland, Loan) Yacob (WBA, Free) Diame (West Ham, Free) De Guzman (Swansea, Loan) Lukaku (WBA, Loan) Michu (Swansea, £2million) Kone (Wigan, £2.7million) and the rip off team is Green (QPR, Free) Debuchy (Newcastle, £5.5 million) Samba (QPR, £12.5 million) Yanga-Mbiwa (Newcastle, £6.7 million) Monreal (Arsenal, £8.7million)0 Rodwell (Man City, £15million) Allen (Liverpool, £15million) Garcia (Man City, £16million) Ramirez (Saints, £12million) Borini (Liverpool, £11million) Johnson (Sunderland, £10million) I wonder if free signings are sometimes pot luck as to how good they become, but Allardyce, Laudrup and Clarke seem to have an eye for a bargain. The Sun gives an honourable mention to Lowton for the bargain right back slot at £3million - clearly they've overlooked Clyne at £2.5million? While our own personal bargain of the season could be between Clyne, Davis, Boruc and Yoshida, Clyne surely wins that. Cracking signing for the money. Sadly I agree with Ramirez in the rip-off list, he's not shown much of what he can do this season. Still, with a season behind him, if he stays (which I doubt), perhaps he'll be more influential next season. What are your thoughts on the above?
whizzpop Posted 15 May, 2013 Posted 15 May, 2013 I would take Boruc ahead of Jaaskeleinen especially as he still has years on him. I agree with the rip-off team though.
The9 Posted 15 May, 2013 Posted 15 May, 2013 Jaaskelainen has been rubbish this season and Boruc is clearly a better choice. As for Monreal in the rip-off team, he was a massive upgrade on Andre Santos and worth the money for that alone. No way Kone should get in the bargain strikers ahead of Lambert either.

Just new signings, isn't it? Lambert doesn't qualify.
Saint_clark Posted 15 May, 2013 Posted 15 May, 2013 I love the fact that Green is a rip off on a free
The Kraken Posted 15 May, 2013 Posted 15 May, 2013 Rob green (free) in the rip off team. Huge wages and 0 appearances in the league. Got to feel a bit sorry for him, he was enticed to QPR as the de facto new number 1, then got replaced even before the season started!
SNSUN Posted 15 May, 2013 Author Posted 15 May, 2013 No way Kone should get in the bargain strikers ahead of Lambert either. I believe it's just signings from this season.
Maggie May Posted 15 May, 2013 Posted 15 May, 2013 Rob green (free) in the rip off team. It's ridiculous decisions like bringing in another keeper to usurp the initial first choice that relegated QPR this season. Caesar may be a better keeper but dressing room harmony must've been at a low ebb as soon as the season kicked off.
Alain Perrin Posted 15 May, 2013 Posted 15 May, 2013 Huge wages and 0 appearances in the league. Got to feel a bit sorry for him, he was enticed to QPR as the de facto new number 1, then got replaced even before the season started! His wonder save kept QPR in it at SMS though...

And this seasons award for totally missing the point goes to...
The Kraken Posted 15 May, 2013 Posted 15 May, 2013 Actually, Green has made 15 appearances for QPR (13 starts and 2 sub). Possibly a bit harsh to have him in there, though god knows what his huge wages are.
SNSUN Posted 15 May, 2013 Author Posted 15 May, 2013 I think the attack is better in the bargain team than the rip-off team, but aside from that I'd rather have the rip-off team. The midfield is far stronger.
Turkish Posted 15 May, 2013 Posted 15 May, 2013 Actually, Green has made 15 appearances for QPR (13 starts and 2 sub). Possibly a bit harsh to have him in there, though god knows what his huge wages are. £50k a week IIRC.
The9 Posted 15 May, 2013 Posted 15 May, 2013 And this seasons award for totally missing the point goes to... Does nobody get the irony ?
The Kraken Posted 15 May, 2013 Posted 15 May, 2013 £50k a week IIRC. In Premier League terms, not all that much of a rip off really. Could've had Gazzaniga in there......
