Ben Davies comes across really well, as you say. I see in his spare time he has studied at the Open University and is a qualified accountant. Hopefully he will remain in the game in the future - putting his qualifications to good use

Usually quality Monday morning post about the weekends events Henry. Always a good read. Dead right about Arsenal and Isak, West Ham and loyal Ben Davies. Mazroui has definitely been Man Utd best signing this summer although that wasn’t hard. Seriously what does Zirkzee or Ugarte bring. Looked very average players. Nice bit about Valencia too. Lovely city.

thanks John, be interested what Amorim does with Ugarte, a player he's obviously worked with before. They need his type, or perhaps a Palhinha from Bayern. Terrible about Valencia. Love the city. Shocking seeing the scenes of all the cars piled up in a street. Regards H

Valencia is beautiful. I live in Alicante and it could have easily happened here.

Needless to say, I thought that was one of your better pieces!

Also, ref Isak…You’d probably expect me to say ‘Hands off Arsenal! But you know…I’d say ‘find £100m in Jan and he’s yours’.

I trust the club to breed another.

thanks Alan, I hope he stays at Newcastle, he's doing well under Howe. Arsenal should have made their move when Newcastle were looking down the back of the sofa for PSR money and offloaded a couple of players in the summer. Arteta seems convinced he can survive without a goalscorer
