Good news & bad news. We'll start with the bad. Mosquera out for 6-8 weeks. So

realistically 10 weeks before he'll be in contention again.

Good news. Looks like we are pushing hard for this 18 year old called Bouaddi. Meant to be the next big thing but PSG, City, Real Madrid & Chelsea keen too. We are prepared to do it in Jan for EUR 50m.

One damned thing after another.

Bouaddi looks nice, at least he is not a midget. Aside from everything else, we do seem to have run into an acute shortage of French players. In happier times, the Emirates used to be jumping with them, of course.

So... let me get this straight. The bad news is we have lost another centre back for months.

The good news is some newspaper *******s about an 18 year old kid?

I suspect that isnt even news, let alone good news.

Our injury situation is beyond a joke :-(
