Bit of a poor attitude if that's the case. It's now up to him to step up and prove that he still has a massive role to play. Squads will always evolve, whichever club you're at, it's just up to you to keep forcing your way back in. If I'm honest, I don't think he's the sort of player to react like that. I hope he's knuckling down to try and win his place back.

and a great big lol @ redknapp to go with that.

Well, that was well done.

They've been looking for houses for 3 months. Interesting. Obviously been looking to move to the UK for quite some time.

Gaston had a holiday over in the USA. He had a few weeks more than most of the squad.

Either Sorrensen or Sinclair it is then

I can see why Poch isn't there. Would have been slightly too much work for the interpreter!

whay, we're starting.

Not sure where Papa is these days, think he went to Saudi.

TBF, he was 17 at Espanyol. May have just been his choice. But it is odd, you don't see teams often ending the transfer window with one of the ''first 11'' numbers unallocated, that's for sure.

TBF Osvaldo is there, imagine they're just doing the official photos

Reminds me of Zlatan Ibrahimovich, even if it's a poor mans version of him, it won't be half bad!

Very interesting that Poch is there (clearly there, as seen in pics) but is too busy to be part of the press conf. Must be a pretty big ''commitment'' for him to not be available for the unveiling. Can only be another transfer move, surely. Transfers can't really wait...if you want the player, you need to be available to take that call whenever....

Prepare to be ''Rogered''

He's also creating a moat around it. Anyone who doesn't agree to what he asks for gets dumped in the moat and eaten by the crock's.

Same.... I couldn't actually look on Saturday (given the stage of the game!) But to be fair, every time he hits a shot it's with so much power and accuracy. So even if the GK dives the right way (as Foster did) it's passed him before he can react.

But we wouldn't need to sell them, and we've been quite clever in tying them all down to very long-term deals. So if someone did want them, they'd have to break the bank. We're in a strong position either way. Great squad management.

He's clearly trying to sign them as he's worked with them in the past. They'd be a cheaper option as well. Can't imagine us selling Shaw for anything short of £20m, and same goes for Morgan.

Those were the days.... I remember thinking that was actually a good side based on our ''talented youth'' and we'd do good things that year. How wrong was I.

Don't think it's a 2pm start. The club haven't actually announced a time

Nothing to fear! I think we've got the better CB in the end. A 2nd top class CB will probably come next year, we're steadily building something. I reckon next years transfer targets will revolve around upgrading the GK (can see a big bid for a GK on the horizon), a top class 2nd CB and a top class attacking winger. After that, I don't think we'll spend a great deal over the following years, as that squad should see us through a fair few seasons.

Not sure where he'd play? He's a right back for me, we're well and truly covered there.

Was either him of Lovren, get the feeling that Lovren's availability came out of no where and quickly become our first choice.

You can't really say yet, give everyone time to settle (including us) and we can judge it then.

I don't think it's the height, he's a very slight frame - he's not a ''Bulky'' CB. That can let him down at times.
