Right. I was thinking that when Arsenal looked like they were going to top the group.

Andy Gray just said that he thinks it might be Klop to replace him

I kinda wanted Arsenal to get Galatasaray. I wanted Drogba to knock them out..

So who did Liverpool get?

I'll take him back as a scout here I'm sure Jose would be very happy with that :goober; Steve Clark for Tottenham?

Infantino...we meet again!

Well, the place has really missed you as well

Hey! Hands off you vultures, @Steve, is mine! I loved him first

Piazon's biggest attributes, for me, is his tactical awareness and movement, along with his excellent technical ability. That all goes to waste in the championship. He's the kind of player that needs quality players around him to show what he can do. Plus, I'm not sure Zola is going to last much longer at Watford...

I think he should be fine as long as we don't do something stupid like loan him to the championship for example.

But that depends on what you want it to do, don't you think? I mean, I'm here on my couch and I want the ball in my closet to always sit still and not do anything and it does exactly that always. That means I have perfect technical ability!

But that also depends on which order we are draw. If we are the first team to get drawn, then our chances are exactly the same for all 5 teams.

This is supposed to be the "leaked" draw: Obviously I'm not buying into that, but I'd love this draw, tbh.

Spot on. I think he's a bit of both, but probably a bit closer to Willian. But obviously not as developed as either. He's a huge prospect, but we already have quite a lot of those here.

I agree that he is better than KDB, but I'm not sure he offers something much different and better than the other 5 AMs we have to justify us spending a lot of money on him.

Hahahaha lad! Plus, he's too young to understand that joke. Probably heard one of the bigger kids say it. That's it @Liquidator, you are forbidden from hanging out with kids bigger than your age, young man! They are a bad influence on you.

That's true. I was talking in a general sense as in he isn't ready yet to be a starter for a club like Chelsea. But is definitely better than Essien.

He's been generally good today but has made some mistakes that I think are mainly due inexperience. He picked up a "free" yellow card in the first half and was at fault for the second goal. I'd love to see Oriol here next season, but I don't think he's ready yet to be a starter for us.

The issue is though, that both those loans were wrong for Josh while Kevin's loan was perfect. That's not to deny that Kevin is of course a hundred times more ready to join the first team than Josh is, but I was so excited when he was linked with Soceidad. I felt that was a chance for him to do what Kevin did in the Bundes Liga and what Piazon is now doing at VItesse. He was never going to excel in a physical league like the championship. In fact, he always does much better at a higher level for us.

The question is, though, what does Draxler offer us that Hazard, Willian, Schurrle, Oscar and Mata can't so we would spend "tens of millions" on him?

Definitely one of our most promising prospects along with Boga and RLC. He just needs another good loan like this one next season if we don't want to give him a chance here.

No idea how he played, I only saw the match events. Forest fans have not been at all impressed with him, though. They feel he was just a "brand advertisement" signing.

Was back on the bench yesterday after missing a couple of weeks due to sickness. Very unfortunate as he had just won a place in the starting XI and started a few games on the trot. But the situation at Watford is far from ideal atm. I don't think Zola is going to last there much longer.

Was back in the side yesterday and played 89 minutes in a 0-0 draw.
