Cavani? Aguero? Higuain?

they are great but none of them can run an attack like rvp (a #10 by nature)

number none otm, nakh has the rest covered

song is the perfect arsenal lucas, i suppose. i like the dude, but if he's your best player - or anywhere near - then scrapping for 6th is your level and you shouldn't front otherwise

Thanks for including the third option, btw

the 'no and jtiac' is indeed implied fwi

is the normal 'yes' to say that ebjt isn't a cunt?

it's implied tbh

Voted option three, natch.
― James, Sunday, 4 December 2011 08:22 (twelve years ago) link
look, this is essentially gonna be 1 "No" vote and 35 "EBJT is a cunt" votes
― Julie Lagger, Sunday, 4 December 2011 10:05 (twelve years ago) link
i think i voted the undiluted 'yes' tbh lest there be accusations of a taint in the ballot
― Sad Banter (p much resigned to deems), Sunday, 4 December 2011 10:23 (twelve years ago) link
Voted "Yes plus EBJT is a cunt". I wouldn't have been able to live with myself had I voted otherwise.

i voted no cuz i'm a contrarian bastard. also because iirc rvp was still playing and scoring even when arsenal were getting humped every week, so something else must be having an influence. also because if he gets injured then 15-year-old academy sensation launchpad mcquack will slot in perfectly.
― m. yeux, Monday, 5 December 2011 00:53 (twelve years ago) link
that is the best thread iirc
― Sad Banter (p much resigned to deems), Monday, 5 December 2011 00:58 (twelve years ago) link
but yes u are a contrarian bastard, just because a team are one-man doens't mean they operate even with that man
― Sad Banter (p much resigned to deems), Monday, 5 December 2011 00:59 (twelve years ago) link
pretty sure the one-man team thesis will be put to the test at some point this season, as if Theo's 134 assists and that one goal Gervinho scored haven't disproved it already
― Julie Lagger, Monday, 5 December 2011 01:13 (twelve years ago) link
and Arshavin did that thing. It was a few years back, but...

one-man-team's second-best-player can't even do his nominated job any better than one-man

weird absence of wolves players from both lists
― Julie Lagger, Monday, 5 December 2011 01:21 (twelve years ago) link
rvp xp
kinda wonder why someone playing alongside lethal finishers like gervinho, walcott and the retired former russia #10 hasn't got even more assists tho
― nakhchivan, Monday, 5 December 2011 01:22 (twelve years ago) link
because all of those natural replacements for rvp are being played on the wings ochone ochone the waste
― Sad Banter (p much resigned to deems), Monday, 5 December 2011 01:23 (twelve years ago) link
maybe they could paint a big bullseye on Gervinho's forehead

that's actually not as bad as i thought tbh
Vermaelen the stand-out replacement for injury prone RVP there
― Julie Lagger, Monday, 5 December 2011 01:25 (twelve years ago) link
spurs have five players more effective than theo, but nobody as good as one-man
spurs are a five-man team
― Sad Banter (p much resigned to deems), Monday, 5 December 2011 01:26 (twelve years ago) link
as my brother pointed out we've now scored as many goals as RVP which makes us a 7 or 8 man team iirc
