Mikel wants Zirksee apparently. Decent player, so I gather. Legendary, even. Last seen waylaying greek sailors returning from the Trojan War, turning them into swine and then ravishing them. Something a bit different.
And as we all know, with all the big games coming up, you cannot have too much of that sort of thing in the squad.
"Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.
