Don't get me wrong, I'd love for Gaston to become what he should in theory be but he's so fragile that I don't think he ever will under the intensity of PL football, won't be the first, won't be the last. As for the WC well it doesn't really seem to have harmed many players, Morgan looks fit although his mindset might not be the best just now, some Dutch lads look OK and Aguero scored with his first touch last night. Gaston is just too fragile that's all, needs to go back to Italy and make a decent career from his great talent, if he stays here he'll regret it for ever, be rich though, won't get that sort of money in Italy.

I really don't think it makes much difference whether he was off this summer or not, he hardly played for Uruguay at all and would probably have gone to South America for his holidays anyway. I think that after 2 years you just have to accept that he's not suited to English football in any way and cut your losses. Osvaldo in his initial Milan interview said he just couldn't get to grips with English football although he tried desperately hard (whether you want to believe that is up to you),he just couldn't hack the intensity and the physical level required to play 90 minutes every 5 days or so.

And Liverpool's brand spanking new Spanish left back really didn't help him either. When you have Gerrard and Henderson on sentry duty in front of the defence you're going to get caught out as likely as not. Why they didn't play Lucas there last night beggars belief, unless he's injured of course or that they have a HG/NHG problem for the CL because there the rules are different, it's not just 8HG it's 8 including 4 from the clubs development centre.

Gaston ? Hardly ever is so probably not, you just have to accept that Gaston is a 15 game a season player at best, well in the PL anyway, he's not robust enough for 90 minutes 1 and a half times a week from August to May.

Why may it have become almost impossible, can't see anything has changed in the last 7 days or so. If we're desperate for Townsend (why that would be I couldn't say) then we may have to let MS go, he certainly still wants to of course. There are other wingers, probably better or at least as good as Townsend so you'd have to think that if we do eventually engage in a MS/AT+Cash deal then it's because we wanted it that way.

Apparently we've joined the posse of clubs after Alessio Cerci, striker from Torino. Can't see that happening, probably just Italian newspaper crap. Trade off for Gaston perhaps, weren't they interested in him this summer ?

And why not, amazing things lilies. LILIA SOLA REGUNT UNDAS, LUNAM, CASTRA ET LEONEM motto of the ancient house of aquitaine, though exactly how you can rule a lion with a lily is a question metaphycisists must ponder over endlessly.

Steady there Neddy, Bearsy is the court jester around these parts, doubles occasionally as village idiot as well. It's just a role he plays though, highly educated no doubt.

The Premier League gives them money, lots of it, they sell tickets to supporters as well. There is no reason for them not to be able to afford their salary mass. The PL gave us 80 million £ as well, take into accout ticket sales that gives us about 100 million £ in annual revenues and yet we're fund transfers and apparently consequent salaries from player sales. Our player salary mass is about 48 million £ so the PL central fund easily covers it.

Perhaps but you might ask yourself why he was participating in 36 aerial duels of which he lost 20 apparently. Saints play on the deck don't they ?

In the 3rd division, it really isn't the same thing. That said Pelle needs to up his game very soon because up to now he looks a bit of a liabilty, seems to encourage us to hoof a bit.

Highly likely so that reduces their HG quota even more, they really do have too many imports, probably why Morgan and JRod seem so important to them actually. They could probably get equal and for less but with their armada of imports they couldn't use them without shipping out a few of the ones that they have.

Depends how they're fixed on home grown players I expect. Don't know enough about their squad to say really. They have a lot of imports that's for sure. They can only name 25 and if they do at least 8 have to be HG. Let's see, Walker,Naughton,Rose,Dawson,Lennon,Davies all certainly count as home grown as does Townsend of course, Dier might still be on the U21 list not certain of his exact age, same with Kane but most of the rest aren't HG and they can only name 17 of those if they're over 21 last January (I think)

Won't get any more jail time than Lee Barnard, same sort of offence I believe, been dragging on for about as long as well.

Well I saw both of them in the video

Few players not really visible in that video, can't see Morgan,Victor or RB.

Just have to look out for a thin tramp then, boost our visibilty amongst the homeless, if there are even such a thing in the Cayman Islands.

I might give it a go actually.

Dier looks like a really good buy.

It can happen but fot that Krusty will have to back down and look stupid, he's not going to do that so it won't happen.

Koeman really has little idea of the standard required in the PL, he's a dutch league manager and Pelle was a succesful dutch league striker.

Must admit that I preferred last year"s formula. Still with JRod out for a few more months and no real like for like replacement in view it's not really a surprise.

We've spent 21 million on strikers already, wisely or not remains to be seen. Still Krusty said judge us on September 1 so I'm going to do that, after the West Ham game.

Haven't they already done that though ? We won't get AT without letting them have MS so we won't get him at all. Move on to another target.
