FPL press conference thread 16/17
Every snippet, every week, every time Mourinho trolls us into selling an injured Zlatan to then start him - get it posted here this season.
Understand there are several today so expecting a busy couple of days, hopefully some big announcements on concrete team news for us all.

Re: FPL press conference thread 16/17
WestHam conference.
I'd say we know nothing...
On Payet:
We are still waiting to see on a couple of positions who are going to start. He is one of the players. He came back very fit.
Like every player he needs a pre-season but he came back very motivated.
On Ayew:
He brings more quality. We had a good season last year but we wanted to improve the team. We lost some players as well.
I am sure that he will bring more quality. He has good experience from playing at OM and did a good job last season.
He can be a game changer and we are happy to have signed him. He wanted to come here and you want players who want to join you.
He was very excited about coming to West Ham. He was our target for a long time and I spoke to Payet a few times about him.
That's it...

"100% we will not go for Lyon striker Alexandre Lacazette. We will sign Argentine striker Jonathan Calleri and he will be with us pretty soon depending on the work permit. He is a top striker and we have a good balance in the squad."

M'boro conference (if anyone's interested):
On Negredo:
I was really pleased when he came here because he knows this league and has played at the top level.
Nothing else players or tactic-wise... They want to win the match and stay in the PL... blah blah blah....

Some interesting news for those who have Wimmer.

Good news, Jan Vertonghen is ready. Last week was perfect, he trained with the group.

Crystal Palace
On team news:
I don't want to give my opponents too much info, but we've got one or two we're trying to get up to speed from the Euros.
We've got nothing concrete to announce today, other than a lot of rumours. There's nothing that's going to happen before the weekend.
There's only one way for us and that's to improve and get better. Change is good. This is going to be a team in transition this season.
We've added three players who I think will take us forward and we will hopefully bring in two more.
On Bolasie:
Yannick is contracted here. He's a great player & a great person, I love him. We'll treat him with the utmost respect in any situation.
Bolasie, and my conversations with him, will stay private.

Everton:
Koeman said that Lukaku is a major doubt and Coleman has a niggle.
So potentially Deulofeu up front then for GW1?

Re: FPL press conference thread 16/17
Apologies for duplication of already posted stuff but just a cut and paste job
Arsenal:::
on Gabriel…
Gabriel has an ankle problem, and will be out for six to eight weeks. It is a bit better than we feared at the start.
on Jack Wilshere…
Jack is doing well, but he will be short for Sunday. He is back in training but will not be completely ready for Sunday.
on Carl Jenkinson…
Carl is doing well, and he should be back in November. He is on schedule for his return.
on Per Mertesacker and Danny Welbeck…
We had very good news on Danny’s latest scan and Per is at the moment off his feet for three weeks, so of course if is a bit boring for him. He is with his family in Hannover, but on the football front he is very frustrated. We think it will be four to five months for both players.
Mesut Ozil is back in training for Arsenal ahead of Sunday's clash with Liverpool
Laurent Koscielny and Olivier Giroud also return to training

Southampton
Ryan Bertrand has been ruled out of Southampton's opener as his knee injury concerns continue
Puel confirms Ryan Bertrand will miss Saturdays' game because of a knee injury. No mention of van Dijk who is expected to be fine. #SaintsFC
Puel will make a late decision on Jose Fonte and Soares. Both are working their way back to full fitness following a late return. #SaintsFC
Bertrand could be back for GW2, he said. Avoid Targett (after gwk1 that is, should be OK for first game though)
Everton
Williams needs another 10 days training to be fit.
Koeman is hoping to bring in another 3-4 players before the window shuts. Looking to bolster his defence, he wants a centre-back. #EFC
Koeman says he "knew about the situation with Stones for a long time." Confirms Williams is not ready to make his debut this weekend
Koeman: "We will do business for three or four more players."
koeman: Lukaku is doubtful for the weekend with heel injury. Coleman ankle injury doubt as well
Seamus Coleman "has a problem as well." Matthew Pennington will be out for a no. of months following extensive damage to his hamstring. #EFC
Koeman: "We're not at the level we need to be in terms of players or physical state. We are 70% of what we need to be physically."
Crystal Palace
Palace’s James Tomkins steps up injury recovery but is expected to miss first two matches of the season

Spot on interesting re Payet but given the fixture I'll probably stick with Mahrez this week and have the option to switch next maybe.

Re: FPL press conference thread 16/17
Looking forward to 13:30 BST press conferences by Chelsea, City, United and Liverpool. All those teams have some very tempting FPL picks whose gametimes are more or less questionable anyway (except United perhaps, whose players are either nailed or not tempting). What a coincidence that all those most interesting press conferences are at the same time!

Guardiola says Mangala/KDB/Sagna are available for tomorrow, whilst Otamendi is 'improving'. [@BBCBlueTuesday]
"Daniel Sturridge "could" train today, but the striker has missed a lot of sessions."
Sunderland have signed Manchester United winger Adnan Januzaj, 21, on a season-long loan.
I thought this might merit some consideration: "Hull City caretaker boss Mike Phelan, who has about 13 fit senior players available, said: “It’s not the hardest team in the world to pick, but I know this group of players will give it their all.”
Klopp: "It's possible Milner could be involved at the weekend, but we're not sure".
