Not exactly transfer news, but related. Ya Ya Toure's our new defensive coach(!) Mostly be working with the kids apparently. Frankly I wish he was playing for us, he's better than anyone else back there.

Austin did his shoulder early in his career - I want to say even before he joined us and that was 2011. Before leaving for QPR in 2014 he failed a medical elsewhere - Hull, maybe? Basically he’s been broken pretty much his entire career, which is a shame because I think that he’s a natural scorer at any level.

ursus, do you or any of our other seasoned La Liga watchers have any articles about this aspect of Simeone that you'd recommend reading? I've long harboured a grim admiration for Cholo and his Atletico Madrid side but it's probably time I took off the blinkers.

Bit surprised about that. I thought he had possibilities.
Piazon has gone too. Braga. Pleased that he's made a permanent move and will hopefully kick on.

Robbie Gotts got recalled from Lincoln by Leeds, and subsequently has been loaned out to Salford. Presumably Salford will give him more game time, and contribute to his wages, who knows? Decent player, but we have plenty competition in centre of midfield, but was useful cover at RB too. What with Aaron Lewis being told to find a new club, we could do with cover for TJ Eyoma.

We've just taken a young Irish lad, Zac Elbouzadi, on loan from Lincoln. Do you know much about him? I imagine he's finding it hard to break into your high flying side at the moment hence him getting a chance with us.

Seems a good move for player and both clubs, Arsenal needed proper backup and competition for Leno after the Icelandic kid didn't work out, and Ryan ticks all the boxes in terms of PL and international experience. I hadn't realised he'd been dropped from the Brighton squad completely, presumably there was a serious falling out between him and Potter.

Various outlets are confirming Mesut ?zil has finalised his move to Fenerbahce.
He was signed as a star, the one for those younger Arsenal players to look to on the pitch, but to me he more closely resembled another one of Wengers talented but lightweight footballers.
I note the impact Bruno Fernandes - a player who came with a fraction of ?zil's reputation - and the manner in which he has dragged United through games, and believe ?zil could have had a similar impact, indeed you'd see it occasionally, but almost exclusively against teams out of form.
One thing I'd occasionally see rumours of was that ?zil fancied himself as a ladies man, and was perhaps enjoying a few too many late nights, which would explain a few things.
Goodbye Mesut, you massive, massive lightweight.

Wednesday have signed Sam Hutchinson, who has been a free agent since his contract at Paphos was cancelled over Christmas. He'd been playing in Cyprus since the summer when he was released by, erm, us. This doesn't exactly strike me as being a particularly strategic piece of thinking.
Anyway, if we're going to buy players from the Cypriot league, can we go and get Nuhiu back given that he's being confined to the APOEL bench?
