Have discovered this Lamine Camara is from Casamance. That’s the SAME REGION as Sadio Mané. That’ll do me.

Know what you mean. I love the Highlands but Fort William, crap. This stuff feels therapeutic; stops me worrriyng about transfers for a few seconds at a time.

Can vouch that the area was a s***hole 45 years ago.

Not on his own, but if you put ten team-mates on the pitch with him it’ll go a long way.

We did that last summer and look how it turned out.

Sure, you want a Rush job (the original high presser) but the function of that is to slow down the opposition. The ball is recovered and the back line protected by midfield tacklers.

We’ve never replaced Fabinho. Got away with it the season before last when Gravenberch played out of position and out of his skin for two thirds of the season. All last season teams played straight through us. Doesn’t matter how good your defence is if fast and competent players are coming full tilt at them. People here keep talking about needing wingers and full backs but I still think a spoiling hard-case midfielder is top priority.

How do you pronounce Araújo?

I think it was because he played really, really badly and the fans let him know. So, no worries there.

I suppose the problem for some of us is that we have a bit of history with these ‘worth a punt and might just be inspired’ signings. Someone’s already mentioned Melo, we still have Chiesa, and then there’s Balotelli. It does suggest we’ve abandoned the ( Edwards, apparently) strategic approach to squad development and are shopping around aimlessly. Conclusion: ‘He’s worth a punt and might just be an inspired signing’.

Another one who belongs to Jesus. We could do with some who belong to LFC.

They did with Salah. All the signs were that he was on his way here and it was clear Mourinho wasn’t interested except to stop us having him.

Hasn’t played a game for them and is well past his best. His son Liam isn’t that good either.

Just going to repeat what I said when we heard his time was nearly up, and add an extra bit of gratitude for frequently having seen him play for us.

I hate the fact I was at that game. You’re right. I used to love the way he chased across the opposition back four and pressured them from the edge of their own box. A man before his time.
