The various newspaper reports state it's only a mild bout and he'll be released from hospital tomorrow and can resume training in 7 days.

Malaria is a energy sapper - I can't see him in training pitch for a month at least.

May be, this is perfect opportunity for Soldado & Kane to stake their claim in XI.

Me too. Apparently he is close to joining Lazio for 7m. For the price it would cost to get Lovren, we could get De Vrij, Schar and Origil. Buying from EPL clubs is crazy.

surely we've got some scouts on players like these, i know they're not going to find the next thuram as they're not clairvoyants but a basic interest being shown in these kind of players would be nice

moreso than micah richards at least

I hate today's John Cross mirror article but with the amount of delay in sealing deals - I wonder are we really cash strapped ? Surely couldn't be the case?!

I doubt it. It will be more to do with Poch having a look at players to see what he needs first IMO. Even last season when we had a manager that knew the team well, at this stage we had only made 1 signing.

As long as Richards is fit, I would take him without second thoughts. He is such a talent and useful both CB & RB. Also helps us in home grown player quota as well.
Lovren seems the only CB linked to us till now. If Liverpool push for him, I don't see us getting him.

Poch looking at players is a sensible explanation. But still, I think we are going to have frenzy dead line day moves. I guess we are in for a gamble and hoping it pays of with whom we get.

TBH, I think it is less of a gamble than buying before Poch has assessed the squad. There seems to be a lot of bargains to be had and I hope we go into full transfer flow when we get back from USA.

We're in denial mode if we're not looking for a LB and CB right this very second.

I wouldnt be suprised if that was the line that levy spun the manager hoping he is good with young players and not have to buy anyone.
