    I think footballers are only human Frenchie. Penaranda has only ever played in Venezuala or for Granada, Udinese or Malaga - Eupen is one of the wettest places on this planet being only a couple of miles from the beginning of the Ardennes, and at this time of the year will be a culture shock for him.. It's also a small, and very conservative, place with only 18,000 inhabitants most of whom have a chip on their shoulder about being the only German speakers in Belgium ! The loaning out of players should be done with care and only to clubs which have a similar playing style to our own - so that as little adjustment is needed as possible.

    Good grief, what were we thinking!?! Were we even thinking? Sending him there makes less than no sense at all!

    Good to see that Danny Welbeck is back out on the pitch today taking part in some light training. <ok>

    Be useful to have if fit.

    Can control a football and has good skill/pace.

    I hate to say it but we shouldn't even be slightly relying on Welbeck. Unfortunately, he is super injury prone.

    L’Équipe report that Premier League side Watford have appointed ex-Lens Sporting Director Eric Roy in the same role until the end of this season.

    On Tuesday, he spent the entire day at Watford to visit the facilities and meet with club representatives, including the president, in North West London.

    Watford were attracted to his experience and his vast network and have decided to appoint him as Sporting Director until the end of the season.

    What exactly does a sporting director do?

    He directs the sport. A good one directs it in the right direction; a bad one directs it in the opposite direction; a mediocre one directs it at an angle to that of a good one; and a frustrating one directs it in circles.
