I think Sanchez will do a lot better. He's performed very well international level, and now he's settled hopefully we see him play like that for us.
I certainly hope so...he couldn't do much worse than some of his performances last season. Hopefully with his first season under his belt, he'll flourish into a decent player and he'll be like a new signing himself rather than a liability.

It would be good to hear solid rumours of a CB and a proven goalscorer being brought in this week...I'd be prepared to risk giving Hutton and Bacuna the opportunity to prove themselves at RB until the January window if we can fill those 2 positions with quality and experience.

It's like those messages arrive in an envelope as letters cut out of a newspaper. Then Jack puts them together into what he perceives as coherent sentences. Trouble is there are always letters left over like parts that you haven't used when putting together that DFS chest of drawers. You just pray it holds together and looks as it should.

Has he actually been accurate before? Didn't he say Adebayor was a done deal?

Somebody suggested that he actually uses Google translate to conduct his tweets, suggesting he may not be English. Or, he is English and is disguising his tweets. Either way, the account is the only ITK account I have ever had any belief in.

Yes, albeit in Yoda mode.  I've enjoyed reading his messages this transfer window, he's got most of it right but I really appreciate the dramatic flair of the tweets landing like little bulletins with apparently outrageous names and claims, which then turn out to be right.

He has called most of the deals right, but Adebayor I think he said was at BMH before the pictures on sky etc, so I could see how he could call that one as done, especially if Adebayor had the photos done last week before the announcement and a late snag held up the deal. After all Veretout was pictured on the pitch at VP with the shirt 24 hours before he was officially signed.

There's still time for Adebayor to turn up and stretch the shirt, as well!

To be fair to him I think something happened to the Adebeyor deal (I am fine with that btw). Several press folks who get briefed by Villa were claiming he was going to be unveiled along with Jordan V & Rudy.

I wonder (my speculation) if he might have failed the medical?

Or, to paraphrase Olaftab, he fell in the pool at BMH?

Oh I think he will be unveiled tomorrow. And I think we probably need him to be, as he is a better striker than Kozak currently I think. Kozak needs regular games to build himself back up.

On the flip side, the twitter bloke Don Corleone is right about as often Lambert was inspirational.

Wow, so that would be a keeper, defender, midfielder / winger and a striker coming in?  If true, it will have been a massive overhaul.
