If it's not confirmed today, I'd begin to think there is some kind of problem personally.

If it's medical day today, none of the usual airport/Benton pics?

Can't understand why McClaren would play that back 4, unless it's purely for fitness.

Not sure what to make of this result. Good to score 3 but conceding 4 to a 2nd tier US side; but then looking at the back 4 is it surprising?

You can see them all in the dugout behind thinking what a twat.

Wonder how McClaren would've got on with HBA. Could've done with a fit HBA on the flank putting crosses in for Mitro.

What's the chances of him not being granted a visa? Next to nowt?

Aaron's can get a decent cross in, and Janmaat. Other than that, not so much. We do need a good crosser of the ball.

One of his ages is 20, yes Ah, he's one of those.

Is it right he's only 20? Quite pleasing that Mitrovic & Mbemba are so young, plenty opportunity to improve & they'll both probably go straight into our side.

Judging by the picture and the length of time it's taken for them to get him up here, I think they must've driven him from Brussels in a mini-van.

To Infinity, and Beyond!

Lol. Wasn't he in London for the medical?

Has he flown in today then? How close are we? No random airport pictures that aren't two years old?

I've really no idea if this chap's any good or not, but I'll take everyone's word for it. Certainly can't be worse than MW.

Or we're beneath him. If he wants to play in the Portuguese league and get knocked out in the CL group stages, good for him I s'pose.

Not interested in this guy anymore. Clearly thinks he's beneath us. Obviously comes with baggage and half of his nutcase family.

Meh, he can do one.

They did say every player had a clean slate. Centreback wise we have very few options and we aren't going to dive right in with our strongest 11 two games into pre season.

Went downhill about the time Paul Barron left.

McClaren on Cathro: “I think we have got a damn good staff here. To have coached in Portugal for two years and to have coached at Valencia as a Scot – and I don’t understand them at the best of times! – he must have something.” “I did my homework in Scotland. People told me – former Scotland manager Craig Levein was one of them. I spoke to Nuno, the head coach at Valencia. People said he was a very good coach with great potential.” “I think this is his club. We have a policy where we get young players and we develop them. We have said we will get a young coach in and develop him, mentor him.” “Alongside that we have got a bit of experience in Steve Black and Paul Simpson, who is a great organizer.” What does he mean by this is "his club". Was he a fan or something?

Probably a good thing Williamson had another mare. Can't be in that team against Southampton, we'll get murdered. Lascelles & Williamson is a pretty shocking pairing for a premiership football club.

I clicked on the Sun link before and there were other photos of the two together, as well as a photo of a wedding certificate so her story could well be genuine.

Pretty sure they're superimposed on that background.
