You can tell by just the way he talks why we signed him.

Im petitioning for him to do all of our pre and post-match interviews. Even if he isn't playing that game.
As long as Pleat isn't interviewing him as it will begin.."so Piers Emily Iceberg how did you feel you played today"

Okay that’s enough of this thread for me
The original standard formation had:

11-10-9-8-7

---6--5--4---

----3---2----

------1------

1 - Goalkeeper
2 & 3 - Full backs
4, 5 & 6 - Half backs
7 & 11 - Wingers
8 & 10 - Inside forwards
9 - Centre forward

When translated into modern formations, you can make the argument for any two of the half back numbers to be the CB numbers, so 5 works for the DM. On the other hand, it's much more usual to have 4 or 6 as the DM, allowing the CB's to have consecutive numbers. But then there's a nice symmetry to the DM having 5. Argh!

I remember playing the 3 when I was at school. The manager was an old codger who wouldn’t change the formation. The kids we’re so ill disciplined that it often meant only me defending and the goalie. Everyone else fancied themselves as a Kevin Keegan. I was always proud when we kept goals conceded below 5.

Hearing him speak he sounds a lot like Toby. Very grounded but determined. Don’t think he’ll be giving Mourinho any trouble off the pitch.

Let’s hope he hits the ground running and has a great career with us. It’s a step up for him so let’s see if he can do it.

Plus no Sissoko in the team. Yes!

Just hope Levy doesn't see this a reason to drag out other deals until the deadline day. Need a RB, a CB (although not as critical) & cover for Kane.
