The whole story may never come out but my theory on Veiga and Maresca is with established pros like Caicedo,Neto,Palmer,Cucurella etc..taking on roles that aren't their personal favourites without a fuss.maybe Veiga didn't react in a positive way to doing the same. He was having a good start to his career here,Maresca was praising him,he was getting plenty of minutes.then suddenly it's over. Or an alternative theory would be that Maresca found his real age is indeed as old as he looks.

The limit to my expectations is I eat food and eventually a turd will come out.

Argentina like Uruguay..they don't care how their players behave. Similar fee to what we got for Broja.i'd be happier with DDF out of those two deals.

The report was that the French club were looking to offer that amount (tho in euros) not that we were going to accept it.

We don't really have anyone with Shaggy hair,not since Ampadu. But to care about players hair styles is abit too fruity for me.

Just think our decision makers have so much faith in Penders longterm. I would say same as Estevao but with him we still stockpiling young talent in his positions.with Penders we seem to have ruled out young keepers for competition to him. Lots of folks talking bout Sanchez saving his Chelsea career (atleast the #1 spot for now) at the CWC but his end of regular season was good too. Maresca seems to have told him to lessen the short passes out the back which appears to have helped. I still expect him to have the odd howler here and there but with us being built now to combat the low block much better and being more potent in attack in general I'm expecting they won't hurt us as much as last season.

There has been some rumblings that we are.just the usual "are considering".

For us we would buy Simons for the 60m or so RBL want. For BlueCo, at the back of their minds they probably weighing up if to go for that or 3 South American virgins.

I like Araujo but ain't he gone bit injury prone..we got that covered. I do like a defender from the wild dog countries of south America tho

In my day in the army,virtually everyone smoked and would destroy 99% of footballers on fitness challenges.

I read we targeting another teen from Ajax but as he's 17 and not yet played for their 1st team probably not the one to play now...Aaron Bouwen is the name anyway.

It's been about 28 years since Chelsea avoided going for players just because Man U wanted them too.

I would say Guehi is by far the best option even remotely possible (unless we taken another risk on recently injury prone players like Scalvini)

Maresca has said in the past of the importance of a lefty at CB in his team for balance. I reckon this is because of when Cucu is moving around the LCB is playing on the edge of the back line. With LW/RW cutting inside on their inside foot it could be argued that lefties should play right side and righties play left side in defense but that's probably an whole debate in itself.

Simons and Guehi. Transfer fee should be about same we get for Jackson and Nkunku. With if we insist on Garnacho,a Sacho type deal. Still got some desirable to others deadwood to us to balance the books.

If I were to play Hato at CB it would be as LCB with Cucu inverted. So on the edge of a back 3 essentially. Not yet ready for one of 2 CB's .would expose things he needs to work on. But really he should mostly be just cover for.Cucu for now.

I think we'll either get Garnacho for around 26m upfront with upto 10m in bonuses. Or a Sancho type deal. Not what Man Ure might want but we should play hardball as they need to shift him more than we need to buy him. We can easily walk away and stick with "Evil Saka". I think main reason we looking at Garnacho is because of the good deal they think we can get for him.if that's not the case we'll walk away..

Sanchez is a good keeper prone to brain farts.over the course of a league season it's a bigger problem when we struggling to score.we shouldn't have that problem this season. I wouldn't say we gonna win the league but we do have a chance. I wouldn't keep Jackson for depth.he's had 2 seasons.Ange isn't at Spurs anymore to pad his stats.have full confidence in Pedro and Delap.but even if they did somehow flop Jackson is not the answer.

We should definitely wrap up Simons before any others incase the sums work out we can't sign anymore. Plus the longer we keep Man U sweating then the best deal we should get.(ideally a Sancho repeat)..I'm OK either way with Garnacho..I wouldn't personally go for him but not worried bout him coming,just not before Simons is in the bag!

Why in that pic when he's on the pitch does he look like he's just woke up in the wrong house?

So basically Man U is the Nazis and this transfer window is their Battle of the Bulge.

Signings we've made and linked to indicate a return to Maresca's plan A formation from majority of last season where Gusto looked 3rd tier and Acheampong looked comfortable like a seasoned pro. Is what we'll be using rather than the Plan B that used in CWC where Gusto is good in. Plus Acheampong can play multiple positions and RCB has solid options but still open for him to take over.

When the Arabs took over they probably started thinking how many PL and European cups would be coming their way.yet here they are 1 Milk Cup and arguably the worst run rich football club in the world. No idea how to work round things like FFP etc..or desire to do what it takes to win.

Be great cover for Cucu.which could be crucial,like Yuri was when Ash missed a decent chunk of 09/10. Plus although we switched to more of Maresca's plan B formation during CWC. The signings we've made/been linked with it looks like those are with Marescas plan A formation in mind so in that case Hato could come into play as starting some games even with Cucu,with Hato as the LCB and Colwill as the CB with Acheampong as the RCB/RB hybrid.

de Goey,Zenden,Bruma..and the first Ken Monkou. Now I'm stuck.. Oh yeah Mario Melchiot..his last game (against Leeds at the bridge) was my 1st wife's first and probably last game..he had a good game that day and she certainly was more impressed by him than my little slips of hatred for Leeds.
