Rosenior replaces Vieira as Strasbourg manager - https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/c4ng0yvr94do

The illness might have struck just after the Newcastle hatrick match early September. There was vague talk of an existing patella injury, but that may have been a smokescreen. It's possible that UK laws on Medical data privacy do not allow information regarding illnesses be made public. He...

It says he was happy when he arrived because he already knew Welbeck and Pervis from their time together at Watford, and how he and Pervis would speak together in Spanish.

Interesting that 22 year old João Pedro is in the senior player leadership group with all the oldies. Milner speaks Spanish, so Joao's inclusion can't be solely for his translation abilities.

Their left back will be glad that's over.

I've seen a few comments criticising the standard of Japanese football, but in today's other friendly Dortmund only just beat Osaka 3-2. Kashima are 3 places above Osaka in the league. We made them look bad today.

Did you see that rumour here? It's a fantasy, what if piece, not a real rumour. https://www.3addedminutes.com/sport/football/west-ham/west-ham-uniteds-transformative-ps147m-transfer-window-predicted-with-porto-spurs-and-brighton-deals-4712900

A lot of people advocating for Gilmour are doing so because of his performances in a double pivot system. But what if Hurzeler choses to adopt the system he used to great success in St Pauli? Billy is totally unsuited to playing in that system. Just because he is a nice guy and looks good in...

Unique? I think not.

With our current squad, allowing for those departures, I'd be happy with that. Dunk could also play the hybrid role and Weiffer could play as one of the 2 midfielders. This would shore us up against the more robust teams.

Potentially, playing in front of a back 3. When in possession of the ball the middle player of that back 3 would step into midfield becoming a CDM single pivot. At St Pauli Hurzeler used a defensive midfielder to play in the middle of a back 3, so Weiffer could also be suited to do that for...

I agree, but only if they are decent defensively. Billy ranks very poorly there as well.

Yeah great, he passes the ball sideways a lot and creates very little.

I think the verdict is definitely in for Gilmour. Offensively he's ineffective at this level. He's played nearly 5000 Premier League minutes. He's scored no goals and made just 3 assists, 1 per season for the last 3 seasons.

He was. Its easy to forget just how good he can be. Fully fit and playing in a system that suits his game he was touted to be a potential £100m player. Let's hope that his operation will allow him to get back to that level again.

Him suffering ankle injuries has nothing to do with playing too much. His first was down to Fabinho's awful tackle from behind. God knows how the Liverpool player didn't receive a stonewall red card. The second was bad luck, getting tapped in mid air by Chelsea's Forfana, which caused him to...

Not just Messi. He's also teammates with Luis Suarez, Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets. No wonder we're happy to leave him there for a few months. Who better than Busquets to teach him how to play the CM role?

I love the old Tango ads with co-comms by the late great Ray Wilkins.

Looking at the profile of players we are targeting, it seems a reasonable assumption.
