Twitter fluff:

The German press are strongly linking Hiroshi Kiyotake with Aston Villa. Hiroshi Kiyotake is a 23 year old Japan international from FC Nuremburg.

Is he any good on FM?

I'd just like to remind Ricky that all Champagne is French. There.

Many French Champagne producers such as Moet Chandon produce Champagne in Argentina, where they are allowed to call it Champagne.

Not a lot of people know that. (Unless you are an Argie of course.)

If memory serves, it's called Chandon. All the big French champagne producer are operting in Argentina. I guess the land price is cheaper than Kent.

Yes, you're right, they do brand it Chandon.
Domain Chandon was first launched as a Californian sparkling wine. It has since launched in other wine-making countries.
Champagne has global protection on its geographic label.

Argentinian produced champagne is labelled as Champaña, which translated from the Spanish, is indeed champagne. Whether the Spanish translation overcomes any copyright protection, I know not.

I might be engaging in sad, old Western Orientalism but I'd like us to sign a Japanese player.  I just think it would be cool.

Absolutely no chance of signing him, he's only 5' 7"

Makes him taller than Westwood and Bannan doesn't it?  I saw him out-jump a defender to score a header from a corner in a video.  He's clearly the next Paul Scholes.

Westwood is 5' 9", Lambert didn't sign Bannan. The comment was tongue in cheek though!

As was mine.  Westwood is only 5'7" in Football Manager though. ;)

I think we should also sign David Sylvian

It's that Montpellier have accepted a £12.5m bid from us for Belhanda. Like you say, utter bollocks.
