The Echo now reporting Boufal and also an update on Fonte. Still not going anywhere.
That's a nice positive story to start the day

Never understood the media story that Mourinho planned a last minute raid....that would only work if we were trying to sell Fonte. If we don't want to sell him when we have time to replace him, why would we sell him on the last day of the transfer window. Crackers.http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/sa...ash_transfer_record_for___20m_Boufal/?ref=mac

I read an article a few years ago about the progress in medicals but I can't find it. The bit that stuck in my mind was that AC Milan had done work with looking how people moved. They stuck reflective blobs on knees, hips, shoulders, etc and looked at the way they interacted. Apparently a test where young players ran up and jumped over a bar set at 45cm off the ground then had their style of jumping analysed showed with 70% accuracy whether they would suffer serious injury in their career.
All from memory but it did rather stick as it was so odd.

Jumping over a bar at 45cm??? Don't they call that the high jump?

The telegraph says early next week.Could be announced today then? That'd be nice.
You know what, we're actually really quite clever, aren't we?
We've positioned ourselves as the best 'stepping stone' club in the world, which for a club of our size and standing is realistically the smartest strategy out there, and allows us to be very attractive to the best up and coming talent in Europe, interspersed with an element of good, experienced players.
I like it.

Not sure on here we can use the usual footballing 'we', when crediting the club in this context, given the traditional annual meltdown and rampant use of plastic bedsheets!![]()
