Think you're dead right, Phil.
That team selection was purely on the players available.

Apparently a French midfielder is having a medical tomorrow. Haven't a link as yet.

EDIT: Yacouba Sylla, French U21 international.

@ FBAuvergne: Yacouba Sylla will leave @ ClermontFoot and engage with the English club Aston Villa. He passed a medical this afternoon.

If you sign Scylla you have to sign Charybdis

So, is this one of the players we definitely wouldn't be signing?

Or a different one?

I feel strangely elated at this probably not very good signing.

A whirlpool in midfield would probably contravene the Laws somewhere along the line.
I like the idea of matching monsters, though.

He is already better than Bannan and I haven't even read his name properly yet.

I'd be the first to admit I've not heard of him so I don't wish to be unkind. But is anyone under the illusion a 22 yr old from the French second division can inspire this side to safety?
