Okies;

We're playing this one at Prenton Park due to some maintenance work at Goodison, as I understand. This may be totally wrong but hey, it's a reasonable explanation so I'll stick with it.

Celta Vigo have played loads of seasons in La Liga without winning the league title or their cup. One of their best seasons was 1970–71 when they were unbeaten at home - they're known as the Sky Blues, for the reason that they wear sky blue. Just like Man City, without the cash and that. Maybe.

They won the Intertoto in 2000, like.

Don't know if Lukaku (GET IN!!!!) will feature, probably not but the little skillful beastie above, if Sunday's bit of skill is anything to go by, should prove a fan favourite if he can keep it up.

There, that should do it, I'm on my lunch after all.

Go 'ed Blues!!!

I thought this latest snippet was the latest?

Martinez said: “He wants to be at Leon Osman’s testimonial on Sunday and he’ll be presented to our fans. He doesn’t want to miss that occasion.

“But he’ll be back in full training on August 7 the same as Kevin Mirallas after their time at the World Cup. We’ll then see him back playing in a game before the start of the season.”

I can't find the quote right now but swear he mentioned something in the aftermath of the Porto game about it. I'll keep searching.
 

wondering if we could see besic further forward? looks like he could do that role if barkley was missing.... suspect long,mcaleny,hope will be involved again..looks like martinez is trying to see if any of these 3 can make the first team

Who coleman or Lukaku? Both of them will be sound for Leicester!

Hope so, this pre-season has appeared very poor in comparison to years past.
Most of our rivals have competed at higher levels and played more games, I just hope this doesn't give us a slow start.

We're playing a lot of games this season though mate. Don't want us tiring out half way through the season. I'm sure we'll be okay.

Like 3 draws in a row to easy opposition after our boss pre-season? I think the quality of the firat two home games will ensure we are at the races early on.

Point taken, I'd probably take 3 draws from our first 3 games this season mind, although surprising for me I actually have a wager we will beat Chelsea.

.....only played as a defender as far as I know. 45mins wasn't enough, but he looks like he'd be good anywhere. Saying that, he clearly likes to defend so that is probably the role RM has in mind.

just thinking he could be a more creative option

dont have many options for no. 10 role imo

Besic spent his time at Ferencvaros as a centre half and pushed forward to a deep midfielder for Bosnia at the World Cup. He's definitely talented enough to play anywhere but I think we'd be wasting him in the No. 10 role due to his defensive ability. I'd see him as Barry's natural successor but I'm also pretty excited to see if he becomes John Stones future partner for the next 10+ years.
