This is going to keep on til the end of the day isn't it?

Till this time tomorrow at least

I was just about to go with one about This Time Tomorrow. Grrr! You stole my Johnny Thunder.

Me! A thief! I'll have you know I'm a well respected man.

Yeah right, you're lucky you're a man (and that it's now closed) or you'd be in Holloway Jail.

that Terry is talking shite

Marvellous.

Back on topic, rumours about an Argentine midfielder are gathering pace.
His name was Lo Lo,

"Aston Villa is a more realistic destination for £25m-rated Southampton and Ghana defender Mohammed Salisu, 23, than Chelsea and Manchester United."

It's only the BBC Gossip column (via GiveMeSport) but seems an unusual link to be random b*llocks. Any thoughts, as I know nothing about him?

He's not a bad player to be fair. I just don't know with centre halves these days though, it's hard to judge as a lot is down to how the team they play in setup.

I quite like Joachim Anderson at Palace for example, and was pointing it out to Risso when he slashed the ball into his own net for our winner. But what I have seen is a player that can pass the ball very well for a centre half, however he might be crap at defending, I don't know, I don't watch him enough to say.

My uncle, who watches all the PL games and who's far more clued up on tactics than I am, really rates him as well.

The current squad of senior players looks like this:

GK - Martinez, Olsen
RB - Cash, Young
LB - Moreno, Digne
CB - Konsa, Mings, Carlos, Chambers
DM - Kamara, Luiz, Dendoncker
CM - McGinn, Ramsey
WM - Bailey, Traore
AM - Buendia, Coutinho
ST - Watkins, Duran

Obviously a number of players can cover other positions, but it's a pretty solid squad of 21 at the moment, with some of the younger players bolstering the numbers. 

I think we could see Digne and Coutinho leave because of their high wages and they would need replacing.  I would like to se pe us bring in competition for Moreno at left-back, but then try and a real top quality 'number 10' type of player.  We need better than Bailey and Traore as wide options and sadly, I think there is a chance that we will be having to replace Emi Martinez.

It will be nice to be building from a position of strength though with a few adjustments, rather than needing another overhaul.

Thoughts are that I hope he listens to his Ghanaian brethren.

Made an ‘approach’ for Origi, from Milan, according to b’ham live.

Surely not.  I mean, if Emery thinks he can get something out of him then I'll trust him but I've always thought Origi was shite.  He scored in two or three big matches but that's pretty much all he's ever done.

My thoughts too.

It will be someone else in a day or two.
