Wearing an Inter Miami shirt.

Chelsea signed Thiago Silva when he was 35 and he stayed for 4 years.

Playing tonight in a friendly against Liverpool, he looks a decent player.

I hope not, too lightweight. Plays with the ball so far from his body, he's asking to have it nicked off him.

You're right, I'm probably being a bit harsh on Facundo. He is young and was often played out of position. The biggest problem was his inability to last 90 minutes. A season on loan in the Eredivisie playing every week would toughen him up.

Lots of talk of player inexperience, but experience is irrelevant. It's quality that counts. For periods last season Jack Hinshelwood was our best player. As were Cole Palmer and Kobbie Mainoo for their clubs. I'm calling it now, Yankuba Minteh will be our player of the season.

Watching the game live, it looked like the right knee was the one he might have twisted, but it was the left one which received treatment. Probably just jarred the knee which had recently had the meniscus surgery, causing a degree of concern. Him walking around without strapping post match is...

This is why we're shipping out those 2. One is a no.10 who doesn't create, the other is a DM who doesn't defend.

Enciso has just assisted a Gomez Goal. Hopefully the first of many.

I think you've taken me a little too literally. Undav is more than a goal hanger. For Stuttgart he often played as more of a no.10 behind Guirassy. But yes, I'd like to see him operating in and around the box in the centre of a front 3.

The area we have improved the most is DM. We've upgraded from Billy Gilmour to Wieffer.

Nor do I, but here's hoping. Let's not forget that we've also got Diego Gomez coming. This piece from transfermrkt.com compares him to a cross between Ngolo Kante and Pascal Groß or similar to Fede Valverde...

I don't take too much notice of how we played in Japan, we played a system to suit those players we had available at that time.

Imagine that but with Gruda instead of Baleba and Kadıoğlu instead of Hinshelwood.

Welbeck or Undav?

I used to feel the same way about Undav, but now we have added so much pace, we will need someone reliable to hang around up top and finish the chances they create. Danny Welbeck ain't that guy and Ferguson can't be expected to always be fit and in form. Undav averaged a goal every 117 minutes...

If he's as good as he's reported to be, £1.5m a season might be a pittance.

He's playing tonight for Fenerbahce, in a Champions League qualifying match. If they lose it may have some bearing on Fenerbahce's willingness to do a deal. They're currently 1-0 down (4-4 on aggregate) He's playing on the left of a front 3, in a 433 formation.

Players aren't allowed to sign pro contacts until they turn 17. For Chido that wouldn't be until November.

If it were true it wouldn't only be being reported by a local newspaper. A Premier League player threatening to go on strike would be a huge story.
