I like Hall for the LB/WB role, but he is prone to a Beresford style charge up the pitch which leaves him out of position. Not a bad thing (when our attack doesn’t break down) but a bit more covering pace in LCB would be a big asset.

Starting to get concerned about this, feel like we should have had some kind of emphatic statement if losing him is a definite no.

Chuffed for Ritchie. Pompey fans seem delighted too. He’ll no doubt be as much of an asset off the pitch as on.

😂 I nearly posted the same (with tongue equally in cheek) we must be polluting each other’s minds in here!

I just misread title as ‘rejects’ free transfer to… what the hell is his transfer window doing to me!

Let’s hope that’s the right four letter c word.

Makes sense I guess. I lived in South Manchester for twenty years (kids all support City) and took great delight in seeing a friend of son’s, from very Man Utd family, decide he was also going to support Man City 😂 Glory hunting Mancs!

Trafford and Salford are the more ‘red’ boroughs of Greater Manchester. Stockport, Central, East and South Manchester more blue. North Manchester (proper, I.e. within city limits) seems more even. Don’t think it’s a deprived area thing, Salford is pretty much Gateshead in terms of indices of multiple deprivation.

A song. A good (ish) song is what we need to seal the deal. Sing if you're glad to have Guehi Sing for the lads, Howay! Sing if you're glad to have Guehi Sing for the lads, Howay! To tune of Glad to be Gay, Tom Robinson Band. It’s a deal-sealing banger. Amirite?

Or maybe Dog and (very much) Not Dog.

“In the next few hours meeting between Nico Gonzalez and Fiorentina: Atalanta, Newcastle and Juventus very interested in the event of a farewell. 35 million euros are needed.” Daniele Longo, Italian journo.

Juts tried to see how many tickets still available for Sela Weekender and was directed to that queue. Surely that is not right?

Love that pic! Wonder what it says?

Not set off a ‘clamming-drool-must have’ kind of feeling (wtf am I on about…) but do love a ‘hipsway’ style dribbler, and he’s quick and direct. Would be happy with him and The Juice as options if it meant we got Guehi.

Remember him as quick, had a trick in him/would dribble. Limited final product. I liked him but he was frustrating; can’t recall specific examples but sense he juts lacked that final ball/bit of self belief to try the shot or pick the pass. Best modern comparison that springs to mind is think of Sterling on a bad day; gets there and the slows down, fluffs it, or goes back.

N-n-n-n nineteen (as in simply one of them) 😉

24 teams. Fabian Schär appears in 17 (71%) of them. Bargain of the century.

The CJ Favs B Team: Given Venison Woodgate Roeder Lee McCreery Robert Bellamy Ginola Shearer Cole Manager: Bobby Robson versus A Team: Srníček Schär Albert Trippier Domi Guimarães Solano Cabaye Speed Beardsley Ferdinand Manager: Kevin Keegan Wonder who would win?

Paul Goddard. Never quite demonstrated his form for West Ham, but made a difference/reliable striker. Have nagging memory that he was something to do with the Boys Brigade? Nickname Sarge? (Really hope early dementia isn’t setting in!)

Which Peacock @Kid Icarus? Edit: Well guess it is Gavin. Always thought of him as a striker but played midfield as well.

SportBild apparently broke the ‘story’ a month ago. Maybe just a re-hash of that. But may as well entertain the idea for one sleep. He’s a very promising, 20 year old, left footed ring winger (three ticks…) who supposedly wants to leave to guarantee more first team appearances (dubious, have to earn it with Eddie).

Hurray! I’m adding Nobby. Playing wherever he likes.

Feel bad about not picking Solano, Ginola and Lee now… . Kind of nice that it is difficult though.

Going for gut reaction heart over head 11: Srníček Schär Albert Trippier Domi Guimarães Solano Cabaye Speed Beardsley Ferdinand Manager: Kevin Keegan No subs as I will no doubt come up with a different 11. edit: made up a formation and added Nobby
