    Tall, skinny, 21 year old striker, currently not performing very well - that description reminds me of a certain Ross Jenkins.

    GT's opinion of him was that, due to his physique, he would mature late as a player - and, boy was he right...

    Guedioura looks like he will be back with us before the weekend.

    When Ross Jenkins first joined he looked awful, gangly, awkward and fairly slow. So long ago now, I'm not sure how long it took him to drastically improve, maybe half as season? just a guess.

    He was tall, but similar to Crouch (another Taylor 'discovery'), people got distracted by his height. Jenkins, like Crouch, was fabulous and probably better with his feet.

    The ref for the Burnley match has been announced - Michael Oliver.

    Fourth time this season & brings mixed feelings. Good = Man U at home. Bad = Spurs at home & Liverpool away...

    With thanks to WML here is a list of our revised squad, birthdays and how long their contract is for.

    http://wfc.net/players.htm

    It shows 19 "foreign" so two will have to be left out.

    As most have said on here, one is likely to Peyrera with how long he's out for. See from that list that it's Pantilimon's birthday today - I haven't seen anything about how bad his injury is.

    A very colourful list, if you look at the flags. Incredible really! :)

    And funny these quotes come out after he hasn't been in the squad for a couple of games.

    Agent talk?

    Player in "wants to prove himself and move to a bigger club" shock... Surely that's pretty much what every player wants to do, and would generally say the same things. The Sun sees to have sensationalised some pretty standard quotes.

    Ambition is good in a player.
    No problem with his comments at all.
