Yes, me too. He switched to that with the Liverpool U18s. We have quite a few attacking/winger-type players to fit in, and now with more CBs it looks like a 3-4-3 would fit the personnel.

No. It just makes it easier to tally up. I can go back to that way if there's demand.

Yes, right up until the start of the first game.

Some interesting joker placements thus far...

Looks like he could play right of a back three. Imagine a back-three of: Goldson - Alves/McCrorie - Katic McCrorie or katic could step up into midfield to go to a back-four mid-game...

With Goldson imminent too, this is a very good start to the window, strengthening a weak spot.

The Katic deal is done!? So I can...

Umar Sadiq looks like he's not a natural goalscorer, but he looks strong, quick and likes to run in behind. It looks like he creates the space for headers, wins them, but is not the most clinical with them. He's got good feet, and good reactions, though.

It's perhaps a wry comment on their lack of a plan?

There was a story in one of them (don't care enough to find out) about McGregor reacting to being given a green ball by a referee. This humorous clip had been doing the rounds on Twitter the day before. How is that journalism?

That's what I did. I was on my way to clicking when I saw the where it went. I then gave a quick shudder and moved my cursor away.

I almost clicked them before I realised where they went...

Perhaps make it clear, @RTB2004, what your source is -- I don't want to click on an unsavoury links...

Right-click > Copy image address > paste (as plain text). Simples.

Just when you get your hopes up...

Transfermarkt has him playing CB and DM equally. At least he can pass! A physical presence with passing ability is what we need!

You have to up your game. It can't just be a random dancing guy, you have to slip in an apt cultural reference.

6ft 4 1/2...

@Tannochsidebear beat me to it -- Who's Ant Middleton? I've seen his book mentioned on Twitter, but I'm like...

That sounds Left-wing, to me...
