Just arrived at my hotel in 'Beefa, can someone update me on the day's ITK.

Thanks in advance, sexy.

ITK has been light but Vlad and Lamela have been at the training ground, reportedly both of them and Eriksen have completed medicals.

Here's why we haven't heard anything.

They have finished the medicals and everything is fine. The players then asked to call a taxi to get them to the hotel as they are tired.

Upon hearing the words "where's the phones so I can call a taxi" Levy hit red mist about the point indicated. He heard nothing at that point. He then shut them in a room and started berating them with "WHO YOU CALLING? WHO? TELL ME? IS IT KIA? I BET ITS KIA! IT BETTER NOT BE FUCKING KIA!"

So hopefully no abduction charges will be filed


Fortunately Vlad kept everyone calm as thats about the most normal interaction he's ever had with a football chairman.

I wonder how our interest in Vadillo and Rodrigo relates to our interest in Pastore and Griezmann. I know the second two names will be an ether or situation but i still wonder if they are aplicable at all with Eriksen now part of the crew. I can't help but feel, and ITK suggests, that we may have one big name signing still to come, Pastore, Griezmann or Muniain... Maybe.... Or someone else off the cuff. I just hope it's not Kaka.

I remember when Naybet was brought in to the squad. We'd had some defensive flutters and he really shored things up. Davids gave the midfield a real pep for a year. Although there is now precious little itk coming out and as far as I can tell nothing about Kaka... he might provide that added touch with younger players gaining confidence and experience from him. He may have gone off the boil at RM, but that happens when you leave a club you are considered a god at to go after the pipedream of a megalomaniac (good luck Gareth.....). If he comes and if he plays well then excellent. Imagine the shirt sales!

I remember reading that one day AVB wants to manage Brazil. Looks like he is trying to do it here!

I'm feeling super good about the squad as is. I do believe at some point with all this turnover we will be facing a sort of "geling period". I feel like the need for a LB is a little overrated and I'd actually prefer a cheap vet option over Coentrao. If Rose really proves to be a problem then I think the winter window is a perfectly fine time to address it. Another development striker would be nice as well, but it's not required.

Other than the links to young guys like Halilovic and Vadillo I'm perfectly content considering this transfer window as a "win".

Well I think this is the latest you've ever signed off from SC, Misfit. Something must have hit the spot tonight. Did you have a Red Bull with dinner?

I think Coentrao will come down to deadline as well as further trimming of the squad. Danny will have plenty to keep him busy.

Do the players had to be registered by Friday 12pm or Saturday 12pm to feature in NLD?



Registered and announced two different things though. Might've gone straight onto the books after the medicals, with all info pointing to medicals being done yesterday, at least for two of them.
