I know, Bruna went to the University of Minho didn't she?

No idea, Eastie. ;)
They're a weird lot up north.

You're just biased, all because they invented those delicious francesinhas up there. ;)

Anyway, back to the discussion about the US being worse than Saudi.
My Brother lives in Massachssetts and couldn't go out to buy his tea and beers last weekend as there were some very large bears hanging around his driveway looking for food. Wouldn't have happened in Saudi as they would have chopped their thieving paws off for doing such a thing.

Made me chuckle that one.

A bear took part of the trim on the roof of hire car a few weeks ago when I was in Yosemite (wanted to look at the sequoia in maroposa grove) Must have been a big one, it was a Ford Expedition and I practically needed a step ladder to get in it.

I like him, and can see him doing well with Emery coaching him. Would want a more experienced option coming in as well mind.

We signed anyone yet?

Drummond will be along in a minute with some made up old sh!te to help you pass the time.

Crikey, Diaby almost done.

If you offered me a swap of Gnotto and Diaby for Traore as attacking options I'd happily take it. I think Gnotto with the right guidance will be an absolute star. He's brilliant.

I don't mind Gnonto coming so long as he's not the major signing in that role.

Same here, if we were as shit as Leeds were last year, one of our kids might have come in and done well for a handful of games, but we need the finished article to make progress.

Suggests we might be moving Bailey on though.

In which case, I'm up for Gnonto coming in.

I'd like Gnonto for the simple reason that you could probably (unless I'm wildly off base with the pronunciation) sing his name to the tune of "Macho, Macho man.....," or, to be a little more niche, to the tune of "Take her up to Monto, Monto, Monto, take her up to Monto, langeroo, to you."
