I work freelance, so I get to set my own schedule, which is great! Except when I don't have any work lined up and I'm just round the clock stressed sending only occasionally solicited emails, which is bad!

Anyway let's see how good this Guendouzi is. Is he more a Doozy? Or is he more like, well, a Gwen?

I also freelance, which is admittedly not the best career choice for a lazy bastard like me, but fortunately my clients keep sending me work and I'm too nice either to refuse to do it or to deliver it late.

I still manage to fit in several hours of doing sod all most days, but from what I can gather that's not exclusive to us freelancers.

I work from home mainly but then travel to various parts of Canada as I need to. The office we had closed just before the pandemic and we planned to move locations. Covid happened and magically those conversations and cost commitments magically vanished. Works beautifully for me. Now I get to watch Villa lose symmetrically capping off my shit work days.

Sanson's off to Montpellier then. I don't blame him, it's quite nice.

Guen playing for OM tonight. Boooooo!!!

I’ll be watching that game at 3pm my time. I do watch a bit of Marseille as I’ve always liked their kit and still remember them from the Papin, Waddle, Stevens days.

Ah the old Papin, Waddle, Stevens and massive corruption days.  Glory years!

I am not really sure what McKennie is supposed to be good at, he's never stood out for me when I have seen him, whether it be in the WC or for Juventus.

The England game? He was excellent I thought until he tired.

He was very good that night. The US team transitioned the ball from back to front so well, and he played a big part in it. Smart, 1-2 touch, direct.

That said, I’m not sure he’s better than what we already have. I would prefer Guendouzi.

Can see Sanson going back to Marseille if Guendouzi  comes in, as part of the deal.

According to Dan Bardell on the Villa View podcast, he reckons that we are trying to sign Arnaut Danjuma from Villareal although Everton are also interested in him.
