I'm watching Athletic Bilbao against Barcelona. Bilbao have a young midfielder called Nico Williams who looks an excellent player. Right side midfielder who's put in some wicked crosses and has a good turn of speed. Only 19 so could be one for the future but worth a look.

His brother Inaki plays up front for them. Not sure if it’s still the case but he’d played something like 250 conservative games without injury or suspension, which is some going.

I imagine he's got number 10 on his back right now.

Though he'll have to give it up for that left winger when his contract ends.

I still think Kamara from Rangers could arrive as a squad option if we can't get Bissouma this window.

I think you will find that they aren’t “games” they are “Work events”

the problems is all bilbao players have a premium because of their 'basque-only' rule. usually requires the release clause to be met, hence kepa costing £71m!

I hope not, we have Nakamba as a squad option in that role, he can come in for a few games here and there and do a job, we know that and we don't need someone of a similar standard to him, we need a DM who comes in and is immediately good enough to be playing top6 level. That makes it a really hard task but there's not much point adding squad filler now, it just blocks the chances for the kids coming through without offsetting that with improvements on the field.

I'd accept a player like Kamara on loan to cover whilst Nakamba is injured but I see no chance of Rangers agreeing to that.

Alvarez to Man City it seems. Shame we couldn't get him when we were rumored to.

Does Recaro still make their seats on the bench?

I've never quite understood the need for boy racer car seats in the dugouts. They're not designed for comfort are they? They should have big La-Z-Boy recliners instead.

Going on our injuries record, some ergonomically sound chairs might be an idea.

There were too many important games in the summer window and into the autumn for River Plate to sell him. I said at the time we should have bought him (they needed the money) and loaned him back to them until December 2021.
