Ramiro Funes Mori

[Jokerdan]

A question - and this is levelled more at the world-weary travellers among you - but how long would it take for someone, even a fit young footballer like Rami, to fully recover from a mid-week stint in South America to be up to speed to play in a high octane match like this coming Saturday afternoon (not that I expect he will given Stonsey's imminent return). But it occurred to me that he wouldn't leave there until some time hourly morning of Thursday and even with a direct flight wouldn't land (presumably in Manchester) until late yesterday evening allowing for the time differences. Taking into account jet lag I couldn't see him getting his head around the game until some time Sunday afternoon by which time it would be too late anyway! The same for Oviedo Baby, I guess. Thankfully it is unlikely to be an issue but just something I was mulling over.

.....I always refer to Tim Cahill. Much was made about Suarez when he was at the Pool and travelling to play in S America but Cahill always represented his country in the Southern Hemisphere and turned in displays on his return. Travelling has to be a factor even for those who fly first class but I also think lots has to do with the individuals attitude.

Have I mentioned how much I love our boss new defender lid. He's alri you know... Tim Vickery is probably crying inside a mucky favela.

This might be a better place to start
P.S. More a place to become frustrated rather than vent your frustrations

Have we failed to get a work permit for him yet?

Hope he's decided to teach our midfielders a thing or two.

Deserves to stat the next game as there are plenty of others who don't!

 

[Fearthainn]

Hope Jags won't be out for too long, but looking forward to see him start a couple of games alongside Stones.

Don't have any reservations about him playing now. Played well against a good team. May be our only scoring threat off of set pieces.

Looks awesome. Vickery can get to fudge.
