    Jones has done a great job at left back, he doesn't look out of place at all

    He’s summat else.

    He’s like Kate Beckinsale.

    There’s bigger tits, bigger arses, shinier hair.

    You look at the whole thing though and you wanna chain it up in your basement and never let it out.

    Very very early days

    but if this isn’t a purple pre season Seelt might be the current best CB we have.

    he has consistency to prove but he just looks the full package

    This is a lovely watch, passing, movement, closing down... we've reduced them to long balls and they are giving it away alot.

    Diarra looks like he could be very special doesn't he, then there's Sadiki who is really impressing me and Enzo looks better than he showed last season

    we're gonna need a new name for the Sadiki role. He's not playing as a 4, or a 6 or an 8 or a 10. he's all of them at the same time.

    We should be at least level probably one maybe even 2 ahead.

    This is a multi champion of Portugal full of settled international players.

    4 year ago we were in same league as Accrington.

    It’s wonderful.
