He was. Golden Ball and Golden Boot.

Started last night in the EFL Cup. Scored.

To be fair, Mendy was the goods at the time. Excellent, if not the complete keeper. Later, injury struck, he badly lost confidence, then form.

It's the same issue. It's dealt with separately by both UEFA and the PL. UEFA have fined Chelsea, now we await the PL's response.

Il piccolo maestro! He's of Italian descent, from Piedmont in the north, bugs me that he doesn't use the Italian pronunciation.

He had excellent skills, capable of great stuff, but equally capable of screwing things up completely.

Cripes, is Pochettino standing in a hole? He's 6'. Same as them. Or is that not Pochettino?

Or it's a long-term situation. Which wouldn't apply to Thiago.

And not pulling a muscle while climbing that step.

In short, yes. Boils down to how persuasive Pochettino is.

BM are seriously up the creek minus a paddle in the GK department. No return date for Neuer and second string is average.

One year left. It seems new contract talks are under way. Pochettino wants to keep him.

Various reports are suggesting BM are interested in a loan with option to buy.

At least he'll bring PL experience. I watched him at Nice last season. Ability but still not much between the ears.

A Leicester fan forum or Leicester FC?

I'd be surprised given the game time - and his performances - in the friendlies. Unless it was a shop window thing. *shudders*

Yes, UEFA have a statute of limitations, hence Man City were off the hook over some matters. The PL doesn't have a statute of limitations.

Starting Nunez would be helpful. Couldn't hit a bull's arse with a banjo. Very Chelsea come to think of it.

Someone to run into the gaping hole left by TAA.

It's not a start-up. Takeover and rebrand.

Yes, it's not a start up. A takeover and rebrand.

The entity is punishable regardless of ownership. CFC is the entity. Otherwise clubs could just change ownership on paper and avoid sanctions. I suspect a fine, possibly even suspended.

Post it here. We'll remind you. And your bank PIN number.

Jackson is the unknown quantity in the PL deep end. Friendlies are an indicator at absolute best. I have fingers crossed.
