Was forgetting Ali. But that kind of feels like the player might be involved in wanting a new challenge The other three are definitely ball-dropping f***-ups

I know it's late and I'm still hungover from Saturday - but 4? Who have I missed?

Those lovely guys at Transfer Room were also pumping out the Rabiot chatter - wants £160k a week, £12m signing fee I mean, so do I

Apparently Victor Moses is still alive, still has a pair of boots and was available on a free this summer

A new range of T-shirts in the club shop?

Grujc is coming home! (In other news, he's somehow now 28) (In other other news, we could buy the whole Boavista squad and still have change to not buy a proper midfielder)

She's with yours

I want updates from service stations across the country

First I'd have to re-read what he wrote and try and make sense of it. Then I'd have to re-read what I wrote to see if he'd made sense of that. And I have Monopoly to play.

You been talking to my girlfriend again?

I think we have to start getting our head around the fact that what we think we need (a traditional destroyer) and what a Slot system uses are not the same thing. If we just needed a guy to break up attacks, we have that in Endo. But he got dropped very early, because what Slot seems to want is someone to win the ball, keep it, protect it, and progress it. And in doing that, we need two other guys who can drop in to fill the gap as the '6' moves up the pitch. Not a lot seems to have been made by our pass completion rate on Sunday (93%, a 20-year Prem record), but that's where we're heading. He wants technical and intelligent, good in tight spaces, able to break the lines with a good pass. Trent can do that when he moves inside, Gravenberch can do that when he drifts wide. The one thing that's becoming clear is that apart from the back four, no one stays in one position. And for that we need players who know what they're doing in that system (which takes time and coaching). And from listening to people who know more than me, there aren't that many around. Even fewer are available (clubs have to want to sell after all), and at least one really loves a f***ing mountain (and he wasn't on anyone's radar at the start of the summer). Listening to That Guy who wrote That Book, the stats-led approach is pretty good at uncovering what a certain system needs. I do, optimistically granted, believe that if the near-perfect player was out there and available we'd make the move. I like to think that finally, the era of any body will do (Krompkamp, Degan, Benteke, Mello, Josemi, the original Nunez, Davies, Kabak, Minamino...) has been learnt from. But then I bought a version of Monopoly today because it has "3D BUILDINGS" so my judgement is not to be trusted.

b*****d. I was going to do that joke

In plain numbers terms, we now have six options for the three upfront positions. We also have six options for the three midfield positions. Quality and ability are a different chat, but in terms of depth we now have two for every position

And people were fretting that we wouldn't sign anyone....

Hincapie and Koopmeiners are back to being "monitored" and "considered", apparently Ahh, I see @Tommok reads the same page on the BBC app
