Made me chuckle.

To be honest my main point was whether he joins us in January or the end of the season.

I'd assume so with most 16 y.os but he's built like Ade Akinbiyi and has already ran rings around grown men in League 1.

Anyone know if he's training with us yet? Will be interesting to see if he goes in to the academy or straight to the first team.

Been linked with Nathan Redmond in The Times. Very good player from what I saw @ u17 WC. Like Lennon with more football intelligence.

What's going on there? Admin?

It's at times like this, when 'lol' suffices.

What time's this on? I'd go with Doni-Kelly-Carragher-Coates-Aurelio-Maxi-Spearing-Henderson-Bellamy-Adorjan-Carroll.

It SHOULD be what Comolli's for, but we've seen little evidence of it yet, maybe we will in time. The whole dynamic between DC and Kenny in regards to who we bring in concerns me.

English clubs can still be prudent if they have the right scouting networks and a manager that has faith in them. Newcastle have shown that recently; Cabaye, Tiote, Santon, Ba to name a few, are all top quality players and have been bought for peanuts due to contract clauses/loss of form/good scouting. My worry is with us, we seem fixated on buying British, whether there's a cheaper, better option available.

Hello all. Stewart Downing is the same player he was at Villa, OK, not great, has never been one to take a game by the scruff of the neck and shirks responsibility all too often. Worringly, we saw fit to pay £18.5 million pounds for him.
