No chicken counting from me right now. Abraham would be great but I not convinced by Bolasie and I have no idea about the other chap.

If Bolasie rocks up a luminous suit I will get even more Nzogbia vibes....

If you transition then maybe you can make my night Russel ! As I can only appreciate but not find attractive the masculine form which you clearly are and have a journalist know how and news breaker better than Jim white .

I think I'll leave it at mutual appreciation. As Im more Nina Dobrev ,Selena Gomez .

But admitting you sir are a great man ! Russell c is for crowe?!

Whelan, play-maker? :o

As I say, someone with so little pace playing as deep as he does works as a playmaker but Whelan hasn't got the passing range for it and doesn't play at a high enough tempo.  That's why I don't see the value in signing him, he was always a water carrier type player but his legs have gone so in most games he just looks like everything is passing him by.  He doesn't do anything wrong as such, he just doesn't really provide anything impactful.

He can tackle though right.
Totally with you on his slow play but I half go how Bruce thinks and half go with how I like a playing philosophy.

Ideally no where near and a jorginho ,neves (sorrie) type . He's no Henderson or dier but has some use.

Perhaps the role is for Bjarnasson then as he's only dynamic player in such a role. Though need some defensive mid .. and actually as I type Tuanzebe could be that guy however Bruce I feel would not go there

We might end up with a PL standard forwards and midfielders  before 1st September with some solid options off the bench. Let's hope the rest can cope.

Fr Abraham?  Praise be!

Will he bring The Smurfs with him? 'Handy Smurf', 'Strong Smurf' and 'Football Smurf' would do okay but I'm not sure about the rest, like 'Lazy Smurf', 'Dopey Smurf' and 'Accident Prone Smurf'.

Yes I know I have given away the fact that I collected Smurfs as a young kid (in the days when they were exclusive to a certain petrol station chain) but to be fair I have just been offered a couple of hundred quid for them.
