I've got to the stage where I almost don't want to sign anybody. Yeh, I know ........... but .................

We've got so many players coming in I want to see given a chance and do well - Sarmiento, Mitouma, Van Hecke, Alzate, Ferguson, Kizlowski, Offiah, etc. Yeh, I know, it doesn't work like that, but ..................................................

The trouble is, given them all a chance together, and that's when the wheels can start to come off, great prospects though they all are.

It could be claimed perhaps that Alzate has already been bloodied, and that Ferguson is still a season or two off first team starts. The others in a way are all ready at the wrong time as we can only ever start one or two of them in the same team at this stage of their careers.

But don't forget with 5 subs allowed this season we should have more opportunities to give minutes to youngsters.

Like Manure in 1996? when they won the double despite Hansen predicting that you don't win anything with kids?

We have a back-bone of established and experienced players. Lamptey was 19 when he first played for us. They will not all be in the starting eleven at the same time.

Bring it on!

Why no transfer fee? (Someone had to ask)

Not necessarily.



Oh and that player has always been an Udinese player.

Of course he has.

I think the idea is he'd be able to play Bissouma's role, as a DM.

Like the players we've got? Not identical, of course, but exciting combinations going forward. Caiedo, Mwepu, Mac, Moder, Alzate, Lallana..................... There probably isn't another like for like Bissouma out there, any more than there is the magic umpteen goals per season £50M striker (except maybe CR7 and Lewandowski - who are more £50M a year than £50M transfer fee!) No thanks ... I'll stick!

Apparently we’ve signed Yussif Moro Owusu. Ghanaian from the Chelsea Academy, supposedly one of their brightest prospects. Can play CB, DM, CM and CAM.
