Or is he on board with the club as part of The Great Misdirection that keeps the competition chasing shadows until the real target has signed on the dotted line in January?
That looks about right, but I wonder if Hughton might be tempted to start with Zamora and put Baldock on the wing instead of Calde, with either him or Manu coming on later when Zamora runs out of gas?
I've got Now TV with an entertainment pass. Get all the Sky Atlantic shows like Game of Thrones, Penny Dreadful, Hannibal, etc. But you also get Sky Sports News as one of the extras. If you buy the Now TV box with a 6 month pass it works out something like £5 a month.
Just one mention of KLL so far. Seems to have undergone something of a transformation this year. CH made the point the other day that the reason he's picked up so many yellows this year is that he's defending hard even though he's not a natural tackler.
We seem to have plenty of cover in that position now with Murphy or Elvis ready to step up. And it won't hurt Lua Lua to have a game off. Hopefully he'll come storming back next weekend.
I know we really need to strengthen up front and out wide, but does anyone else worry what would happen if anything happened to Stephens or Kayal? I know Crofts is coming back but we don't know if he will fully recover, and JFC is yet to prove himself in a 4-4-2. Ince?
Maybe he was told he'd be first team squad, competing for a starting slot this season with the prospect of being clear first choice next season? Better than rotting in Swansea reserves.
