Zini Zini oh with ur eyes so blue

Pointless signing.

Welcome.

Manuel? Is he from Barcelona? ;whistle

In all honesty, after whats been said about his positives, we havent had anyone creative and attacking to come off the bench in a while. So even if he's an impact sub on loan then I think its a boost to the squad especially as we get to see what he's made of without having to buy him first.

Bilic speaks highly and positively about him. So Lanzini's definitely someone he's been looking at for a while ( and not a Sully S American signing )

The way Dicks is looking at SB ;carew

It reminds me of this...

I have a feeling the job description for the Julian Dicks' assistant role wasn't to pick up cones after all. It was "stand near Bilic for photos to inspire twitter fans."

SB: 5k extra was on offer from Everton that's why I had to go....
JD: I'll let u off this one time ;angry .....but on a serious note, if SB has stated he wanted this new player before, well done to the 2 D's for making it happen, now prove urself my son ;scarf

Might be a while before we see him in the starting line up?

It’s then about being at the same level as my teammates and getting into the starting XI as quickly as I can.

“I have already spoken with the manager. I told him I was looking forward to starting training, to getting fit and getting up to speed with my colleagues.

The UAE League ended in early May; their new season starts 19 August. I suspect he hasn't done much training before joining us as he signed round about when I think they would have been starting pre-season.

He's that good he probably doesnt need to train ;whistle

MrsGrey

I wonder what the equivalent Italian idiom to 'fit as a fiddle' is ;hmm

Ravel49

I wouldn't know as Grey has been swerving my italian lessons!!!! ;wink

MrsGrey

Summer holidays, innit ;ok
