    Will wine be included? Will there be a vegetarian option? I hate the tension of waiting for a lunch announcement.

    With us signing Armstrong and Ely its got to be a formation that both uses wingers and a least 3 CMs or 2 cm's and an AM. so for me its goiong to be either 4 - 3 - 3 or 4 - 2 -3 -1. i reckon currently it would be a 4 2 3 1

    Stiker: If we dont bring in another one it will probably be Austin as Hughes seems to like him. though it might be down to how pre - season goes.
    Ely on the left, its where he plays although it looks like he can play on either wing if needed.
    Armstong in the middle

    So for the right its between JWP Redmond and Sims atm as the players who can play there. I would have JWP for balance.

    Ely is fast but he looks good technically and does remind me of a faster Tadic. creates chances as well as scoring them. c
    Armstongs main strength is speed and running into space so you can expect to see lots of him running into space in the box trying to get on the end of through balls as well as taking the ball forward on the counter.
    Austin would obviously be looking for space created by those two.
    I would have Prowse on the right to cut inside to cover armstrong and thread balls in for these 3 or put in early crosses on the counter. Hopefully Armstrong and Ely's pace should cover for Prowses lack of it.
    All 4 of those have good intelligent movement and have a tendency to show up in space which should be interesting.

    obviously we many well be signing more players so just what i would go with right now. If we bring in Promes, which we seem to be discussing although i had thought the Ely signing stopped that idea, i would play Ely on the right and Promes left.

    I like an early lunch, so hope they speed up as I skipped breakfast.

    Prefer an evening announcement as skipped breakfast (normal for me) and not having lunch either

    I'm a hell of a lot more positive about the coming season than I was just a short week ago...:)

    The unveiling of signings just gets more cringeworthy with every year.

    I prefer the good old holding up the shirt and scarf in the stadium. I’m just old fashioned..

    How the hell did he end up in Norway if he’s Morrocan anyway? Bit of a odd mix?Did he his parents get on the wrong flight and think “ oh bollocks to it , were here now”

    There are Moroccans all over the World SS even here in the UK,. it's called globalisation, the World is a much smaller place these days.

    I would hazard a guess, I assume Mohamed sees himself as a slim build.
