[PaulWinch again]

We need him for Sunday so this is encouraging.

[Karlos96]

He's on the bench for tonight's game.

[Legion]

[danlanza]

Now i am excited about Sunday.

[Toronto Villa]

If you look, I think he's just there to carry his paper.

I wish I was rich. I'd have all kinds of jobs for the poor.

Not a mascot - Zakaria Bakkali - supposed to be a bit special, in the full squad at 17.

It puts me in mind of that quote from Goodfellas:

"At thirteen, I was making more money than most of the grownups in the neighborhood. I had more money than I could spend. I had it all. One day some of the kids from the neighborhood carried my mother’s groceries all the way home for her. It was out of respect."

I knew it was a player Paul I think Benteke was in another picture with him recently, on Twitter maybe. I was just being an idiot

So is Benteke "gerrarding" him to sign for us?

Ahh..if only...

[olaftab]

Good news. Hopefully he won't be involved tonight and Spurs won't know about him being fit until they see the team sheet on Sunday.

Yes as if Jan Vertonghen is deaf, dumb and blind!

[peter w]

Let's hope none of the teams with belgian players in the Premiership get to hear about it.

[OCD]

Nobody's going to know whether he's fit enough to start the match or whether he'll be named amongst the substitutes though.
