Wherever I lay my hat, that's my hat.
There's going to be a lot of squabbles over who's going to take the free kicks.

And the opposition goalies are never going to be able to remember all the information that the goalkeeping coaches are going to have to give them.

This is GOOD.

As we seem to be shopping in the Belgium and Dutch leagues we should make a cheeky bid for Donny van de Beek.

Not sure Ajax would let him go for cheap

Presumably he'll be named in the 25-man squad if he's listed as a first team signing and born before 1/1/1996, is this the end for Skalak?

Could be. Or Murphy.

4 left sided wingers don't fit into a 25 man squad.

I have an inkling Hughton may try and keep room for Skalak. I know he rates him and thinks we will get the best out of him in the Premier League. He doesn't have to play on the wing either, can also perform as an inside forward.

When subs are made it's usually the opposition team that I shout 'Who'? At this rate, it's going to be when the Albion does.

Not clearcut that he is going straight into the 25. In a similar position to Normann and Mateju it seems.

This article on the club website suggests he's going straight into the first team, I don't remember them saying similar when Normann and Mateju joined.

That said it would be quite the step up from the Dutch second tier to the Premier League so it wouldn't surprise me to see him out on loan at least till January. Plus he needs to be named in the 25 man squad if he doesn't go out on loan and we want to use him in the Premier League.

I wonder if we might see the likes of Normann, Mateju and Ahannach in the 2nd round of the League Cup before any final decision is made on a loan move.

I think you will be proved correct.

Izquierdo seems like a faster & more skilled upgraded version of Murphy; with March as back up we don't need him now. I've always had Skalak down as a right midfielder or inside forward (as you say).

Murph for the chop?
