If we're taking him out for dinner as well you'd think Birmingham's restaurants could at least impress him more than those of Stoke.

San Carlo is Spanish and has pictures of every footballer ever on the wall.

Its Italian and there are plenty of good places a few miles up the road from Stoke in Cheshire.

You're of course right about San Carlo now think about it.

Still, it wasn't a comment I expected to be taken seriously.

A lot of pubs in town serve San Miguel on draft these days. There's even a tapas restaurant too. Surely he can't turn that down?

I would hope he'd sample some local stuff, maybe from a micro brewery who specialise in  speciality ales with names like wizard willy and witches tit.

A Spanish teenage footballer from an African background is exactly the type you regularly see in the Wellington.

I know.  In spite of myself I get obsessed with transfer news every window.  And now the club has gone and given me high expectations weeks before it ends. I'm doing less work than normal.

The Daily Mail are running a story that Stoke are favourites to sign Traore, the Daily Mail are also running a story saying Villa are favourites to sign Traore. The Daily Mail are also running a story saying Liverpool are less interested in signing him than they were but will be favourites to sign him should they change their mind.

So there you have it.
